2 bedroom Rio Del Mar Apt - Stunning Ocean Views
This place was exactly what my family needed for our beach getaway! The layout of the house is so cozy and it felt like a home away from home. The 180’ of ocean views was truly amazing. We watched a pod of humpback whales go back and forth throughout the day and got to watch a feeding frenzy of thousands of birds all from the balcony! We drove 20 minutes to Henry Cowell Redwoods State park and walked around Pacific Ave in Santa Cruz. From the spot we walked to the beach (with all our boogie boards, sand toys, towels, umbrella, etc.), took advantage of Venus’ happy hour and really didn’t need to use our car for two days! This will definitely be a spot we stay at again!

Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
Immaculately maintained, spacious property. Very relaxing. Close to all the necessary shops. Well equipped for families.

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!
Love this place! Will definitely come back!

Relax Watch Waves Crash Chic + Modern 3BD
The decor was delightful! Very well outfitted with everything you need.beds super comfy. Really good size. We had more than enough room. I appreciate that Crystal saw no issue with my service dog joining us. I was a bit disappointed that you had to be on the balcony to see the beach. There was a complex in the front blocking most of the view from indoors. I also had issue with parking. The garage was only for small cars and the street parking was inconsistent and required several steps. My handicapped daughter found it a bit difficult. The area was not easily walked being on a very very steep hill. I wish there were more info in the description. All in all, it was a gorgeous place and really clean, highly recommend for non handicapped folks.

Toro Park Sunshine
We were in town for a weekend of trail racing and Valentina's place was perfect. It was less than a mile from our event at Toro Park and on a nice, quiet street. The place was very comfortable and the outdoor area was excellent for recovery and relaxing on Saturday. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for 5 of us. Valentina was very responsive throughout the entire process, I really appreciated her. Great place to stay!

Beautiful 3BD Home w/ Heated Pool and Fire Pit
The house was great for our family stay. Lots of space, all on one level, and beautiful outdoor space. We travelled with our kids and they had a great time in the pool :) Note there is extra cost if you want the pool to be heated. Thanks for a great stay!

Silicon Valley Luxury I Sauna, Hot Tub, Pool
Beautiful property with stunning pool and nearby hikes. Comfortable bed and amenities in peaceful and quiet surroundings. Very friendly and responsive hosts. Thanks for such a wonderful stay! Would love to return again for future trips in the area!

*NEW* Mountain Retreat, Swiming Pool + Hot Tub
We had a very peaceful stay :) Daniel's recommendations were very helpful. We enjoyed a lot of local hiking - definitely looking forward to staying here again.

Amazing Ocean View! Monterey Luxury Beach Home!
This house is awesome for family adventures. It had every possible amenity for a vacation getaway you could need. The house was spotless upon our arrival and well-organized, with a detailed list of items available to ensure you had a great time. The Pacific Ocean is viewable from the second floor porch which seated six comfortably around the propane fire pit. There were many toys available for families traveling with children. Our toddler granddaughter really enjoyed playing with the many toys. The kitchen was well stocked with modern appliances. The location was just a few minutes' drive to downtown Monterey and Fisherman's Wharf. We absolutely recommend this Airbnb house in the Monterey area. Our host Meli was awesome. She communicated with us from the time we made the reservation until we left. Her instructions for the house were clear and concise. We contacted her twice while we were there and she responded to our questions within minutes. Meli is a top-notch host.

Beach Front Dream House! Hottub/E-Bikes/Surfboards
we loved staying here! everything was in excellent condition and looked exactly like the photos, plus you can’t beat the location! the beach was right across the street and walking distance to coffee, shops, food, etc. evan was super responsive and gave very clear, easy to follow instructions for check-in and check-out. highly recommend for your next beach trip!! ☀️

Private Studio Retreat; Full Kitchen & Laundry!
Wonderful place to stay in Salinas with quick & easy access to Monterey. Much better than staying in any of the nearby hotels! Kylie is a terrific host and the place is very comfortable and spacious. There are gas stations and grocery stores near by. The kitchen and bathroom have many amenities. It was great having the wifi network available. Would definitely stay here again.

Visit Monterey's Beaches from a Charming Home in Seaside
This is one of the cleanest Airbnb we have stayed at. The neighbor is quiet and beautiful views from the backyard patio. Bunzi place is stocked with many cookware & towels. We had fun in the playroom. Highly recommend. 10-15 mins from Fisherman worth and Cannery Row.

Seaside Bliss - A Modern Home Close to Attractions
Great place that is only 10 minutes away from Cannery Row. It was relatively clean, though I think the carpets could have been cleaned better and had dog smells. The neighborhood has plenty to do, and many grocery shops or (good!) restaurants in the vicinity. I would stay there again.

Serene luxury beach bungalow in Pleasure Point
This beach bungalow is fabulous ! The home is clean, comfortable and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing getaway! The outdoor patio is a bonus living room! The location has a nice ocean view and easy access to walks along the beach. Heather is a great host! The recommendations provided are very helpful and spot on! Will definitely book this wonderful gem for our next visit to Santa Cruz!

The Vineyard House in the Pastures of Heaven
We had the pleasure of staying at Anna's Vineyard House in mid-June 2025 with two of our adult children, and it truly exceeded our expectations. This hidden gem was a perfect retreat—spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly peaceful, with breathtaking views in every direction. One of our favorite moments was gathering around the outdoor gas firepit in the evenings, reminiscing about old memories while creating new ones together as a family. We also enjoyed taking scenic walks around the vineyard, spotting condors and rabbits along the way—it felt like something out of a nature film. If you're looking for a quiet, restorative escape with serene mornings and evenings, yet still within easy reach (just 30 minutes) of Pebble Beach and Monterey Bay, Anna’s Vineyard House is exactly where you want to be. We can’t wait to return.

Garden House
Lovely, cozy, artisticly designed 6 person home with vibrant atmosphere. Clean, relaxing jacuzzi which required 2 people to remove and replace cover to use. We especially appreciated the food, snacks, and beverages provided by host.

Serenity Getaway - Near MRY Aquarium and downtown
Extremely beautiful home. The place was clean and very well put. Extremely spacious and the host was amazing. Looking forward to our next visit.

7 Pelican Point Oceanfront Views & Beach Access!
Megan’s place was perfect for our family. Everything from her being super responsive and accommodating to perfect location, spacious space with cute decor, kitchen has pretty much everything we needed. Would absolutely recommend!

The White House
Beautiful, beautiful views. Great location. Well-furnished and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We walked to restaurants at Lovers Point and Pacific Grove. We rented bikes across the street. We had a wonderful family stay. Wow, was it beautiful!

Peninsula Refuge-A Modern Home in Heart of the Bay
My three friends and I just spent 5 days at this lovely, comfortable, and super clean home. It was bright and airy, had plenty of towels, comfortable beds, and a charging station for Apple & Android devices; the kitchen was well supplied. The location was convenient for visiting Monterey, Pacific Grove, Santa Cruz and more. Finally there’s a ramp to enter the house, and it is all on one level.

Lovely Ocean View Condo for 4 - Easy Beach Access
It’s so beautiful. Literally something out of a book. I’ve never stayed in a place like this and I’m glad we did. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Unique Sculptured House with Private Beach Access
We stayed here for our 25th anniversary. The property is absolutely amazing. Very peaceful, relaxing and romantic. I highly recommend staying here if possible. Janiece was very courteous and accommodating. She even reached out to us during our stay to be sure there was nothing we needed. She’s Great..

Pacific Grove Willis House, Walk to Town and Beach
Perfect spot for a birthday getaway with my family of four. Chris’s home in Pacific Grove is situated ideally for easy access to Carmel, Monterey, and Big Sur. What we also discovered is that PG is a destination in itself—with quality restaurants, a beautiful coastal trail, and unique shops. Chris was a friendly, helpful host-offering us terrific recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. He also was kind enough to let me know we could check in early and check out a bit later, if we needed to. Finally, he was so thoughtful on my birthday, delivering a box of delicious baked goods to me. Chris’s descriptions and photos of his home were accurate; I love the front room’s natural light, the wood floors, the solid wood furniture, and the home’s layout. We didn’t do much cooking, as we wanted to try the restaurants in the area, but it was modern and well-equipped. The beds were very comfy and the shower heads had great water pressure. Top ratings! Thank you, Chris!
