Family-friendly holiday rentals in Big Sur

I had a great stay here with my daighter and german shepherd. It was great to have the beach all to ourselves every morning by walking just a block over. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and the greenery outside was wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

Tammy’s place is a wonderful home to stay at while visiting the area. It is comfortable and clean with plenty of room for several people. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. The backyard is very inviting and the hot tub is a nice perk. Tammy provided clear instructions and was responsive. Highly recommend!

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

You will not regret staying here. Debra and David were so incredibly nice. The house and the outdoors/garden are beautiful. We loved the hot tub being off the master suite and the fact there are no neighbors so it’s incredibly quiet. It’s in a great location near both downtown and the fairgrounds. We can’t wait to return. We might need to add more nights because we had such a fantastic time. Thanks Debra. So great to meet you and David!!

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We walked to the beach to boogie board, went to the boardwalk and enjoyed the local farmer’s market. The house was amazing and more than we expected. We enjoyed the backyard with all of its amenities including the hot tub and outdoor shower especially after coming back from a day at the beach. Shari was very proactive in her communications and we are looking forward to coming back again for a longer visit.

An amazing stay close to the beach, a perfect weekend getaway

Kyes place was so peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. We loved getting to use the spa every evening after hiking.

An amazing stay. Very beautiful home with records to listen to an out side tub to relax in under the stars. The only disappointment was I couldn’t get most of the out side lights to come on. Other than that you can’t beat this place

⸻ I had such a wonderful two-week stay at the farm. From the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly—especially the sweet little black cat named Teva, who wore a green collar and quickly became a favorite companion. Toni was so kind and responsive, always making sure everything was just right. The farm felt very safe and peaceful throughout my stay. Being in a cabin on a farm, a few bugs are to be expected, but it wasn’t an issue—I came prepared with essential oils, which worked well to keep them at bay. The cabin itself is cozy and compact, but the many windows let in so much natural light that it felt bright and open. The shower was great too—good water pressure and ventilation, though it might be a bit snug for some. Overall, it’s a lovely little escape—close enough to San Jose for convenience, but with a feeling of peaceful seclusion that makes it feel like a true retreat.

Sean's cottage is an absolute delight, we moved in as though it was our own home. Worth reading previous reviews mentioning building works next door. As we were prepared for this (they started 8am promptly Mon-Fri), also ants (which didn't show up) and the racoon in the bins (which did show up) none of this was an issue, and was reflected in the reduced rental. Sean was an excellent host, replied speedily to any queries, including calling a plumber for a minor problem. The cottage is the most homely of places, there's everything you could need, the kitchen is generously equipped and the beds are very comfortable. The pretty patio is full of flowers and birds. Since it was April, we were not outside in the evenings, but it seems noise is an issue with neighbours. There are polite but firm notices requesting no outside noise after 9pm which could be difficult on hot summer evenings. This was one of our favourite Airbnbs, the location is fabulous, so much to do, we were busy all the time

Very thankful for this quaint experience! The kids loved the toys and the very kind neighbor helped make sure we had chargers for all the electric toys.

This was our second time staying at Mike’s place in Cambria, and it won’t be our last! We loved it so much the first time that we had to come back. The views of the ocean are absolutely breathtaking — you can sit for hours just soaking it all in. The home is clean, cozy, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Place was great over all we did lose wifi wince Friday evening till sunday none tvs wouldnt connect for the kids other then that stay was great! Great view! Great neighbors very welcoming. Town and pier area were great everyone was so friendly. Over all we definitely come back!

Thank you Staci. Beautiful home in wine country. 5 stars all the way around

Robin's vineyard is amazing! Keep in mind you're staying on a farm, so you're 'glamping' with the emphasis on 'camping'. You should expect open spaces, peace and quiet. "Night Life" is being outside under the stars. Robin's communication prepared for our two nights so we never had to leave the property - we brought everything we needed including our meals. The yurt is very cozy and warm - we were there in June with the overnight temps drop into the 50's. Plenty of hot water in the shower. It's an amazing place to unplug and relax.

Staying at Alexandra's was perfect! Traveling with our senior dog we had the comfort and space to enjoy a getaway! The neighborhood was very peaceful, walkable, and had a view of Monterey. Alexandra's space was filled with all the amenities we needed to feel right at home, we utilized the kitchen and made some seafood pasta! Alexandra's description of the space was exactly as described, and we highly recommend!

This neighborhood is safe and peaceful. We have stayed at The Dunes numerous times over the last 4 years. Lisa’s home is beautiful and inviting. We all felt very comfortable and relaxed. It is such a gorgeous area and the staff at the front gate is always so helpful too. I had to reach out to Lisa multiple times throughout our stay and each time her responses were quick and respectful. It was a delight to chat with her and we are definitely planning to come back and would rent this home again.

This is such a special place. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! It’s a perfect central location - close to SLO, Paso Robles, Los Olivos, etc. We loved hearing the chickens in the morning, walking through the garden and enjoying the hot tub/pool amenities. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you!!

Beautiful location, peaceful, relaxing, and easy to drive to other local activities. Had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

This stay was absolutely incredible. Real life is even better than the pictures! And the hosts are very friendly and responsive, usually within a few minutes. I would definitely come back and recommend this to my family and friends.

Amy was the perfect host. She was kind and responsive. Great location and beautiful view. We will stay here again!

Love this place! Will definitely come back!

It was beautiful, private, and a hidden gem! We had lots of fun and enjoyed all the views throughout the house. The house is even better than the pictures. We had our 2 boys, had plenty to do between the beach, books, basketball, spa, ping pong, and games! We definitely recommend and would go back! Not to mention I love artichokes and this house is located in artichoke city!! So amazing!! 10/10 you won’t be disappointed!
