Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Salinas

We enjoyed our 4 nights at the house. The host made us feel at home right away with his friendly messages. The house was clean, well-appointed and there was great attention to details. Bottled water, coffee pods and some candies were thoughtfully laid out. Walk-in wardrobe with lots of pull-out drawers and space for hanging clothes. New washer and dryer with laundry detergent pods provided. Pretty well-manicured garden and backyard. Well-equipped kitchen - it would have been a pleasure to cook some meals, but we didn’t have the opportunity. We also liked the neighbourhood which was quiet, safe and pretty. If we ever came back to Santa Clara, we’d definitely come here again!

The home is amazing for families of small children. We had 6 adults and 3 kids under 2. Meli provided strollers, high chairs, booster seats, kids plates and cups, and more. It was very easy for a Family vacation. We would happily stay again.

The place was great, literally across the street from the beach, super clean and comfortable, and the best part was the kayak, which we took out in the morning and we were able to see dolphins, sea lions, and otters fantastic!!

Thanks for letting us stay

We absolutely adored our stay at this charming cottage! From the moment we walked in, we were struck by its perfectly staged design and stylish touches. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into providing great amenities, including a coffee pot, hairdryer, and plenty of soap, making our stay incredibly comfortable. They even gave us a bottle of wine to welcome us to their home! The cottage was also spotlessly clean. We especially enjoyed the fire pit out front for evening relaxation. There was a tenant in a smaller house behind the main one, but they were no bother at all; we barely saw or heard them. The location and neighborhood were fantastic, perfect for leisurely day/nighttime walks with its beautiful plant life, amazing homes and pristine streets. It was also incredibly convenient to walk into town for dinner and shopping. As four close girlfriends, the two bedrooms were ideal for us to double up, and the extra half bath was a huge plus. We highly recommend this listing!

It was a great location and a great house. Real homey feeling and the backyard was awesome! Would definitely stay again.

Mary’s spot in Big Sur is absolutely amazing! There is something magical about Big Sur, and Mary manages to capture and harness that energy in her space- beautifully decorated, but also perfectly functional- from the well equipped kitchen to the hot tub, wood stove, and sleeping arrangements- no detail is overlooked. I look forward to returning whenever the opportunity presents itself.

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!

we had a lovely stay here! felt very peaceful up in the trees! local recommendations were great. would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area.

This spot was great for a weekend getaway! Right at the start of Lighthouse Ave where all the shops and restaurants are located. We were able to walk to the beach as well which was lovely. My partner and I felt extremely safe walking around at night as well. The space was very clean and cozy. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Monterey area. We’ll definitely be back as well:)

What a beautiful place! If you are looking for "off the beaten path" with access to tourist areas, this is an excellent location. It is not the pristine hotel environment but a charming and unique place to get away from all the hustle and bustle. Follow Susanne's instructions to a "T" and you will have no problems. Hope to come back some day! Great experience.

I had a wonderful stay, Jeff was so helpful arranging a last-minute trip and was a fantastic host. The studio was very quiet and peaceful and I enjoyed spending time on the patio in the back. It was a great place to spend some time in the Carmel area.

The unit was great and exactly as described - very well appointed, clean, well decorated and in a great neighbourhood. Very convenient to places around Santa Cruz and obviously SC is very central to a lot of nice places to visit - SFO, Carmel, Monterey Bay, Silicon Valley. Check-in was easy, appreciate the convenience of a combination entrance, checkout instructions were not onerous, just common sense. All in all, had a great stay, will gladly stay again in Ben's place next time we are in Santa Cruz

This house was a beautiful and it provides easy access to everything that Pacific Grove and Monterrey had to offer. When you walked into the house, it felt like home. Most importantly, Jane was the perfect host. She is always available to make your stay enjoyable. Everything we needed was there. I love sitting in the living room sofa and enjoying the great views. I loved the outside fire pit for those cold days when you wanted to sit and watch the world go by and to watch the seals sleeping across the street. You could not do any better than this place. Just a fun vacation. Thanks Jane.

We had a great stay here! The place is cozy, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, which made meals easy during our visit. It’s also conveniently located near kid-friendly attractions like Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, The Tech Interactive, and the Children’s Discovery Museum—great for our family trip.

Really nice and clean. Barnaby communicated really well. Be aware, this is non-refundable though so be sure before you book. One thing that isn’t mentioned is that it’s on the main stretch and since it’s a tourist spot, weekends are loud. It feels like a party is happening outside while you’re trying to sleep. Don’t expect it to be a sleepy beach town condo. One really nice thing is it’s next to a great coffee shop that serves delicious bagel sandwiches. The bed is lofted and cozy. Everything is super clean and the fireplace at night is perfect.

Best place to stay in San Jose. Amazing

Great View and Weather!

We were up for a wedding in Monterey with 10 adults sharing the house, Nick's place was perfect for what we needed and the location/views are amazing. The decor is a little dated but the functionally was there, Nick communicates really well and I think you'll enjoy the serenity of his house.

I stayed for 3 months and couldn’t have been happier with my choice to stay here. Close to downtown, amazing food all around. The gate in front and the fact it was at the very end of a cul de sac made the place feel extra private. Would definitely recommend!!

Great home with gorgeous views of the redwoods!! We were all confused as to why there was no dish soap or trash bags to use, but it had everything else!!

We had a great time staying here over a 4-days weekend. The location is great with access to a private beach. Very kids-friendly!

The best part of this place was the room in the back. It really was like an Executive Director suite. So of course my ED took advantage and took the room for himself. lol. We appreciate the extra blankets and we each had our own room.

Wonderful place in the heart of San Jose! Warmly recommended :)
