Cozy, comfy apartment

AliceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Gorgeous little apartment, easy drive to the beach, downtown, or the Mission, but still very quiet. We were very happy with our stay. Note that the bedroom ceiling is quite low - I am 5’ 6” and had to be careful, but I didn’t think it was a nuisance. Would overall recommend and stay again. Thank you Lisa!

Condo in Del Monte Beach

Luxury Oceanfront Retreat

MacyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

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!!

Ocean View Paradise

AdrianRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Amazing views and a peaceful location—waking up to the ocean and wildlife was unforgettable. This was our hub for exploring Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur. A short 30-40 minute drive to Big Sur for hikes, and just 10 mins to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea for great dinners. There’s also a handy general store at the bottom of the hill. A couple of notes: This is one of 4 units on the property. While listed as “entire home,” there’s a unit attached at the rear with a door that opens directly into your space through a hallway (for my wife’s peace of mind, we kept our bedroom door locked at night). Another unit is above, and one more is detached in front. That said, everyone keeps to themselves, and interaction is minimal besides maneuvering past their parked cars in the driveway. Also, screenshot the address and key code—cell service drops near the hill and the turnoff into the property is easy to miss in the dark the first time around. Thanks for hosting us, Emily & Mason! We loved it.

Cabin in Felton

Santa Cruz A-Frame

YangRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The Santa Cruz A-frame was such a serene retreat into the mountains for us, and an antidote to our overly digital and urban lives. Things we appreciated: easy parking, both an upstairs and downstairs bathroom, full kitchen supplies, private balcony, gorgeous forest views, creek in the back, and easy access to Loch Lomond (peddle boating on the lake was so peaceful), the redwood state park (hiking in the largely shaded trail was great on an otherwise sunny day), and local groceries and food (enjoyed the cute outdoor patio in the back of The Grove cafe and bakery). We had a wonderful rest!

Dome in Watsonville

Apple view dome - stargazing galore!

HaroldRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was a great getaway in a beautiful countryside. If you're looking for something somewhat off-the-grid, I would wholeheartedly recommend this memorable little dome. Waking up to see and hear all the birds in the morning was lovely.

Private Treetop Beach House

HannahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Great stay. The patio was fantastic to sit out on and enjoy the beautiful weather. The home had everything we needed. The home was located near great bars and restaurants, only 10-15 min to Carmel and Monterey! I loved the short walk down to the beach at 17 mile drive
