180° Oceanview Condo-Surfboards-Bikes
I would recommend this place to my friends and family if you are looking to stay in a very cute beach town! You are smack dab in the middle of it all at capitola here. They have surf boards and a boogie board for you to use, we used the surf boards (I rented my wetsuit from ONeill for $10! Don't do the one that's accross the street for 36 if you're strapped for money and have a car just go to oniell!) The apartment was perfect and it comes with a cute backstory about the mom that bought the place many moons ago. The apartment also came with bikes but we love walking so much so we never used them! The beds we SO comfy too!

Breathtaking Carmel Penthouse Suite w/ Brad Pitt!
Absolutely loved this location. Quiet and peaceful, with the most amazing view. The bathroom is huge with an amazing whirlpool tub. It was extremely clean and felt so private. Fantastic place to spend a romantic weekend. We were not asked to do any cleaning, and checkout was extremely fast and simple. I would love to come again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape
We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

30StepsToBeach-EBikes+Surfboards
Evan and David were bother very helpful and responsive to my questions. The spot was nice and convenient walk to the beach. Enjoyed the stay and would book again in the future.

Cannery Row Bungalow
We had such a fun weekend getaway at Ann’s place! It was quaint and cozy—perfect for a relaxing stay. The location was ideal, right on Cannery Row and within walking distance to the aquarium and tons of great restaurants. Everything else was just a quick $8 Uber ride away, including breweries and other fun spots. Would absolutely stay here again!

Beachfront Condo with Ocean Deck
LOVE Pajaro dunes ! Everything was exactly as described ! The only thing is that the description mentioned no essentials, which we ended up bringing our own. Once arrival we discovered that they had everything that you needed ! Now I know for next time not to carry everything from my kitchen. This place was everything we needed and more. Felt right at home. The one thing is that the bed was uncomfortable but other then that the view was beautiful and my family and I would definitely come again !

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
My team had a wonderful time at Stefan's place! The ocean views are magical and the house is very spacious. Incredible spot about an hour away from SF and Palo Alto. Stefan was very communicative and friendly. Check-in and check-out were simple. Very clear house rules. No complaints at all! We will definitely be back.

Rio Del Mar Beach House.
I can’t boast about this place enough. Holly went above and beyond to communicate with me. She gave lots of recommendations for food places. We tried Manuel’s, Venus, Pizza my Heart, and The Hideout. Hands down, hideout was my favorite! The home was BEAUTIFUL! Literally, a dream! Our kids (12 & 7) loved it too. We celebrated my son’s 7th bday there. We beached every single day! Their home was beautiful, clean, and magical. The hubby and I slept with the doors cracked open upstairs and literally fell asleep and woke up to the crashing waves. Walk across the street and you’re on the beach! It was heaven. I told my family I was depressed coming back home. HA! The backyard was darling! The lights were my favorite & I didn’t realize there was a little sandpit. Such a great gem. We were welcomed with a basket too. Filled with local bread, taffy (my fav), cookies, wine and coffee; Even with a hand written note. I can’t wait to book their home again. It was a dream. Thank you for having us!!

Oceanfront Beach House overlooking the Boardwalk
This house is absolutely perfect for a family trip to Santa Cruz. it had everything we needed and the location is unbeatable! The only thing I would change is there not being a large enough table for everyone to sit down for meals. Other than that, brilliant.

Adorable Sea House
Dean’s place was great in terms of location, size and privacy. We’re familiar with pacific grove/monterey area so we knew what we were looking for. The house has (2) bathrooms which is great and appreciated as (1) bathroom abnb in the area are commonplace but with more than 3 people it’s great to have 2. House is located directly across from ocean walking path. You cross street and you are on the water-10 min walk to aquarium, cannery row, 10 min walk the other direction and you’re at lovers point restaurant. 10 min walk to downtown PG for many restaurants. Clean house, would stay there again for sure. Wife and I were there this time with 17yo nephew, 14yo and 12 yo sons. Plenty of space.

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.

Jaw-Dropping Beach-Front Retreat!
The place is beautiful and only steps away from a beautiful spot on the beach. Two of the rooms have a beautiful patio that provides an look into the ocean. The parking was a little bit difficult just because it is street parking and if you go on a crowded day you may have to circle around a couple times to get an open spot. The host was very kind and answered texts very quickly. I would stay here again in the future for sure.

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!

Modern Newly Renovated Pet-Friendly near Monterey
The house was great! The neighborhood was peaceful and felt very private. The view from the balcony by the dinning table had to be my favorite thing. Got to enjoy both breakfast and dinner with a nice view of a small part of the ocean and the lights glowing from Monterey as it is across the small part of the ocean that you can see from the balcony, separating the cities. The place is close within a 20min drive to several other locations such as Monterey, Old Fisherman’s Wharf, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Lover’s Point Beach. Felt right at home, would definitely go back.

Kristina was very friendly checking in with us to make sure our trip was going good and if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again !!! Great host great place and beautiful city !!

Luxury Oceanfront Retreat
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!!

Beachfront Condo in Watsonville, California
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

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6
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!

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
Everything was just as described - kitchen was well stocked and had the staples which I appreciated - plenty of coffee too! Beach location was wonderful - 5 out of 5!

Royal Villa - Ocean View - Heated Pools - Seascape
We had an amazing stay at this lovely vacation home just steps from the beach! The location couldn’t have been better—being able to walk to the shore in just minutes made our trip so relaxing and fun. The house itself was spotless, cozy, and very well cared for. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we immediately felt at home. The beds were comfy, the decor was charming, and everything was thoughtfully arranged. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day in the sun. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway!
