Beachfront holiday rental in Northern California

Charming cottage in a great location. Easy-to-follow directions to find the place.

The River View House was wonderful! Very quiet and peaceful - great for the 7 guests we brought. The river was fun for a quick dip once in a while. The home was clean and spacious. Plenty of linens, towels, and kitchen dishes for us. Nancy was super responsive and helpful. We are planning to come back to the same rental again! We didn’t add on the studio, but likely will next time if we have more guests or more than 2 couples.

We were looking for a special place for our 40th wedding anniversary and this cottage far exceeded our expectations! it was simply beautiful! and our hosts were incredibly helpful. we hope to return again

The sunsets were beautiful. The spa was hot. And the lake was peaceful. Thank you for sharing your sweet cottage.

It was a very cozy stay, nestled in a serene area right near the ocean. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the individual pieces of consideration, including the lovely music that played as we entered the cottage. It really set the tone for such a nice and peaceful stay.

My husband Josh and I had an unforgettable time at Cindi’s place in Sea Ranch. The home was even more beautiful than the photos—unique architecture, cozy design, and right on the beach. Every evening we watched the waves crash on the rocks just outside the window. It was peaceful, stunning, and truly magical. Cindi was a fantastic host, super helpful and kind. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

The reel em inn was better than expected! Great location, comfortable space, great host. The kitchen was fully stocked to cool your own meals with coffee and breakfast provided. The space was very quiet and comfortable. I loved listening to the sea buoy whistle me to sleep at night. Perfect spot for my dog to go run on the beach in the morning and evenings. Highly recommend the reel em inn!

This place was perfect for my family. It was very clean, and we were very pleasantly surprised by how amazing the view was from the room. The large windows had more than an 180 degree view of the ocean. The sunset from our room was beautiful! The kitchen appliances were great and the room was open and spacious. We would live to come back and stay longer next time.

Wonderful stay! We used the property as a base for exploring the local national parks - very convenient location! The property/house was clean - we notice small things and think the cleaning crew does a good job. It is rare today that online pictures accurately display the current condition of a property, but all online pictures are very representative of the property! Obviously the pool/hot tub were amazing, especially upon return from a day of hiking, the afternoon heat of California and with kids! Perfect dwelling for a young outdoor family looking for a resort like feel at a fraction of the price! Furthermore, the privacy and quietness of the location will best any other place in town. Excellent stay and the hosts are very responsive, often immediately responsive, and offered great recommendations. Overall, great property, location and value.

We loved Kathy’s place. The location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere in town! It was beautiful! Kathy was very kind!!

Stunning place with ample space for a family of 4. Even enough space if a family wanted to bring grandparents as well to share. Prime location, central to the resort. Walkable to the pool, hot tub, playground, restaurants and a quick golf cart ride to the beach. Full ocean view from both balconies and loved falling asleep to the ocean. Sandy path right outside walkable but not good for scooters. Wish we had known this. Clean place with only a tad bit of sand when we checked in on the ground. Full kitchen and a huge closet to store all the beach chairs, towels, sand toys etc. Kind of wish they gave us more than 2 pool towels though. Wonderful stay for our anniversary and we are looking forward to coming back soon!

Love this place! Will definitely come back!

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.

I stayed here with a few of my bridesmaids while looking for a wholesome weekend getaway near Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea, and this place absolutely exceeded our expectations. The home is nestled in a beautiful, private community that felt safe, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing—perfect for unwinding and bonding before the big day. The views from the property were absolutely stunning. Whether we were sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, the scenery was breathtaking and added such a magical touch to our stay. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. We also loved how easy it was to get around. Whether we were exploring charming shops and restaurants in Carmel-by-the-Sea or spending time along the coast in Monterey, everything was conveniently close and accessible. This spot was ideal for creating special memories, and I would absolutely recommend it.

This location is ideal for those who like easy access to hiking, walking, beach, pools etc. Also a short drive to Capitola, and Santa Cruz to the North. Views from the balcony are way better than the pictures. Stay here, you will not be disappointed.

Lakefront location!!! Any closer to the water and you would be getting wet! My wife and I spent a week here and loved it. Constant view of the lake. Great easy parking… a couple steps to the front door. Patio on the lake cannot be beat. We’ll be back.

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!! ☀️

This place was amazing! Beautiful views of the ocean right from our windows made it a truly incredible stay. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and all the accommodations were very nice, the home was very clean and cozy. We had a lovely time and would absolutely stay again.

My son and I really enjoyed our stay at Ron and Donna’s. The accommodations were comfortable, peaceful and private, with the most amazing views and direct access to walking trails along the beach!!! Ron was always very friendly and responsive, although we didn’t need much as their attention to detail was spot on, and everything listed was provided. I would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Incredible spot, truly a perfect North Coast getaway that is even better than the pictures make it out to be. Maria was super sweet and responsive, and the check-in/check-out process was very simple. We will be back.

My wife and I stayed here for our 5 year anniversary and I couldn't have found a better spot to get away to. It was such a cozy and peaceful location, and Aaron's home had everything we could ever need during our stay. The views were incredible, and the weather was fantastic. Aaron provided an extremely detailed guide to the area that helped us get a feel for where to go and what to do, and we hope to come back someday and stay again to experience more of the beauty of the surrounding area!

We had a very nice stay with our kids in Pacifica. The place was very clean and everything in the kitchen was well labeled. The view from the place was beautiful. Each day we were able to see whales. Our kids loved walking down to the beach, that was close by. So many trails to hike on in the area. The host was very responsive.

Lisa’s studio is just as she described/pictured. The space was spotlessly clean, secure and very comfortable. We appreciated Lisa’s clear directions for check in and swift response to our text when we had a question. We highly recommend Lisa’s studio and look forward to our next visit. We will be back!

Our hosts were very responsive and very kind. They covered all the bases — had everything we needed and the space had stylish furniture and chic design. We loved relaxing on the sofa and watching games on the TV or the bed. The swivel stand is great. The bathroom was spacious. I savored my morning coffee with the views out the patio, beautiful. We’re looking forward to returning in the future.
