Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Carmel Valley

Beautiful home that was perfect for our long weekend stay. Marielle greeted us at the home and was so friendly and helpful. Accommodated our ask for early check in and left us fresh flowers and baked treats as a welcome. The home was clean, stocked with everything we need and very comfortable. The view was amazing and such a quick drive into town. Well certainly look forward to staying here in the future and recommending it to friends and family.

Nice little place with the two bedrooms we needed. The house was clean and comfortable with a nice deck outside. There were plenty of towels, extra pillows, wifi, and the Host was very clear in communicating. The only issue I had was finding the code for the door. This could just be me, but in the app we were told that the door had an entry code (which is fine), but I had to click on "Message Host" to find it -- which was not intuitive to me. Very pleasant overall, and would be happy to stay here again.

Great place to stretch out and relax, with so much natural light that we rarely needed to turn on the overhead lights. We enjoyed cozying up in front of the fireplace and hanging out on the back porch. The well-stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. The house is in a lovely neighborhood with an easy walk to the beach. Easy to access the heart of town on foot or by car. My only note would be to bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, as one of the bedrooms is next to a busy road.

This Airbnb was perfect for our family trip to Monterey! It was clean, well-maintained, with a lovely backyard. We highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely loved our stay here - the photos don’t do the place justice! The view is phenomenal, the home is so beautiful and spacious and cozy. Lovely area to sit with family and dinner and just enjoy the sunset. Amenities were all as described. I loved the location — very private and peaceful, but still close to town and Point Lobos.

Alyssa’s and Meghan’s place is clearly a home, with all the thoughtful touches that many AirBNBs lack. Their house manual is an excellent companion for your many adventures in the area, though you may have a hard time getting yourself to leave the cabin and the “prettyish wilderness” outside it. Would stay again. Would befriend Meghan and Alyssa.

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!

Had a great time! Great host, great location, highly recommend!

Our family loved our stay! Everything was pristine, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need (including spices!), there are beach towels available (huge space saver in our suitcases), the beds are comfortable, and there are plenty of large, fluffy towels for use in the bathrooms. It was a perfect location and easy walking to so many shops, restaurants, and the beach! The only thing this place is missing is a place to rinse your feet off when you inevitably come back covered in sand after a day at the beach. We found a hose but no place to connect it. Maybe we were missing something. All and all AMAZING place. Carmel is expensive, and this place is the going market rate, but it’s the perfect location and a lovely little apartment. We even extended our stay an extra night!

10/10 Such a beautiful place to stay. We truly enjoyed our baby moon to the fullest here. All the amenities were exactly what we needed. Couldn’t ask for a better time in Carmel by the Sea! Would love to return one day. Thanks Michele!

This apartment was exactly as listed! Beautiful view with small porch that had a small table perfect for a romantic dinner. Surrounding area has a lot of food options and a local saloon downstairs. Walking distance to the mission. Cara was very responsive when it came to asking any questions. I would definitely recommend this location. 10/10 stay!

My husband and I recently stayed in “Fancy Free by the Sea”. It met all of our needs. I loved the way it was decorated and it felt very homey. We appreciated the filtered water in the refrigerator and the available coffee, although we purchased our coffees in town. All in all, very cute, very relaxing space. I would stay there again. I gave it 5 stars.

This place was exactly as described in the listing and the pictures. It had all the conveniences of home that were needed for a small family and is very efficiently laid out. The living area with the huge windows made the space feel open and gave you views of Monterey Bay. It is very conveniently located in Pacific Grove--walkable to Lover's Point Beach and short drive or long walk to Cannery Row or the "downtown." Although the single parking space is tight, it was very convenient to have dedicated parking close by. Check in was very easy, instructions were clearly provided. They had a washer and dryer in the building, which was also convenient for a week long stay. Mermaid Cove is definitely a convenient, comfortable, and peaceful place to stay. I highly recommend it.

If I’m staying in the area I would stay at this again. Loved the interior and enjoyed the balcony

Emanuel and Beshoy were great hosts! They always messaged me to check in and made sure my check in and stay was perfect. They answered all of my questions and were very nice and accommodating with my stay. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to book a listing with them!

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

Wonderful condo nestled in the Pajaro Dunes Resort. We traveled with two elementary aged kids and they had a fantastic time. A great family getaway. We brought our own groceries and there was plenty of amenities in the kitchen for eating in every meal. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and beautiful views from the inside as well. We appreciated having the beach chairs & tennis items. The resort recreation area was a lot of fun and we spent several hours there. Comfortable beds and upgraded furnishings. Overall, a fantastic experience and we can’t wait to return again someday.

Stayed with my husband and parents here for our wedding week that was happening in the area. The place was plenty spacious for 4 people! Much better than a hotel room would’ve been. Gave us quality time cooking in the kitchen and hanging out in the living room, enjoying the hottub & heated pool and the beach! The ocean view from the dining table and the front porch is STUNNING!! The place is nice, well kept, and has everything you need! Any small things that popped up, Patti was helpful and fixed right away! Would definitely stay here again!!

We had a wonderful stay. It is a beautifully designed space that had everything we needed to relax, cook nice meals, sleep well and enjoy the beach which was a minutes walk away. It allowed us to really relax and enjoy our time there- only three days but felt like we were at home! Highly recommend

This is a beautiful place, right on the ocean, with beautiful views. So well equipped with everything you need. The gift food basket with local products and well stocked pantry was very welcoming. So many products in the bathroom and even extra towels and linens if you need them. Also was stocked with laundry supplies. Szuszi, the host was very responsive and proactive. Like many places right on the ocean, it did have a musty smell. This was fine for us, but may not be for those that are sensitive. We loved being able to walk along the beach and also around the nature preserves. It was a short drive into town and we enjoyed the recommendations left by the host for where to get groceries, get food, and local sites. We would definitely stay here again.

Staying at this Airbnb was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and thoughtfulness—fresh local flowers, many beautiful books related to the neighborhood in reading material. The space was immaculately clean, beautifully designed, with everything I could need—toiletries to fast Wi-Fi .The host went above and beyond, checking in to ensure everything was perfect. It felt less like a rental and more like a five-star boutique hotel with the heart of a home. I truly didn’t want to leave!” This is a real heartfelt space in the middle of my home town that provided the soulful connection to home.

We loved our stay and Patty was amazing to work with! A very family friendly place to stay!

Thank you Mary for a wonderful vacation, it was a fantastic trip, the place is very beautiful, amazing view from the window, the apartment is clean and cozy, everything is there for a comfortable vacation, we were delighted. I recommend to everyone who loves comfort, coziness and a beautiful view of the ocean!!! Thank you!!!!

We’ve stayed at Pajaro Dunes before, but it’s been decades ago. Marc’s place was perfectly situated for privacy and views and was very clean and well appointed. The peacefulness and serenity were exactly what we were looking for. The beachy feel of the furnishings was charming and the unit included all that we needed including an upgraded and well furnished kitchen, a gas fireplace, a comfortable, king size bed and other essentials like extra blankets and a Kuerig coffee maker. Our only difficulty was when inadvertently trying to use the TV remote to change channels…Don’t Do That, Use the cable remote like it says in the instructions. Spent a thoroughly enjoyable four days here with side trips to Monterey and Carmel. Perfect home base for dining out and exploring the coast, and an excellent, proactive host.
