I was traveling with my family and needed a place for a Zoom meeting. NextSpace Santa Cruz was perfect: welcoming and supportive, well-provisioned, private and a perfect balance of professional and homey. I'm grateful to have found it.

NextSpace is such an amazing coworking space! I highly recommend it to anyone stopping through the area or looking for a long-term coworking spot. The space has everything you could need for a productive work environment, and more importantly, it has a beautiful sense of community with lots of fun events. Harlen and Ashleigh are both incredibly kind and accommodating to any needs, and everyone there is so welcoming and happy to connect. I’m really excited for the opportunity to return!

The best coworking spot in Santa Cruz!
Elisabeth A
I’m so grateful to have stumbled across NextSpace. After four years of being fully remote, transitioning into a coworking space was a necessary change of pace. I am immensely fortunate to have my first introduction to coworking spots be here. Harlen and Ashleigh go out of their way to cultivate an extraordinary community. What was suppose to be a week stay in Santa Cruz ended up being two month. And as a digital nomad I could be anywhere but I’m eager to go back because of just how amazing the community at NextSpace is, also helps that Santa Cruz is beautiful. Also, dog friendly! 🐾 🙌 I’ve also tried one other coworking spot and it seriously makes me appreciate NextSpace even more.
