Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Monterey Bay

While the home itself is small, the use of the space is creative and was perfect for our small family and our dog. We especially loved the gated yard with lights and plenty of seats to sit and enjoy the beautiful weather. There are several nearby restaurants that were walkable and delicious and a grocery store that we could walk to and pick up some items. The home is close to all the attractions of Monterey which was especially appealing. We had everything we needed and the kitchen was fairly well stocked and everything was clean. Would stay again!

We had a great stay at Dennis's home. It was perfect for our visit to Monterey, making us feel right at home. Dennis was a great host, with great communication. Definitely would stay again in the future!

Great views and close to many activities while still being g private .

Thanks for letting us stay

We loved staying here! Plenty of room for our group of 5 and the 2 separate living areas were very nice. Victor was easy to communicate with. Checkin and check out were simple and straightforward. Lovely, clean home. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time staying here! Han was friendly, helpful, and communicative. The house was well-stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the residential feel of the area and how close the house was to everything we needed to get to. It's worth mentioning that the neighbors do seem to have birds - including a rooster that began crowing close to 4am - so if you're noise-sensitive, consider bringing earplugs. However, this was a very minor issue for us and did not detract from our experience. We'd come back anytime!

We loved our stay in this house. It’s spacious, clean and beautiful. My daughter enjoyed playing with all the toys and the whole family had such a great time. Perla was a wonderful host and we’ll definitely be back

We love this cozy little house. We had great experience at this kid and dog friendly place. The fenced backyard is amazing and you have an ocean view there. Definitely recommend.

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!!

Really hard to describe how wonderful the whole back yard is. Sunset here were amazing. All kinds of wildlife. The smell of the California hills in springtime always refreshes. Dogs loved it (and couldn't quite believe it). We swung on the swing, sat in the gazebo, enjoyed basking in the balcony views.

This place was great. The owners pay attention to the details and offered many amenities that we don’t see at other Airbnb’s. I highly recommend this place.

Very clean and comfortable. Pool was amazing. Very accommodating with a last minute change of plans on our end. Overall great stay.

Cute house. Would advise driving during daylight tho, the roads are extremely windy and challenging at night. We had a tough time driving up in the dark. The amenities like hot tub were great. House was as described! Easy to use amenities. Would advise bringing a jacket on April.

It’s a good budget stay in Carmel/Monterey area when you are booking last minute. It’s in a quiet and safe area.

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.

Serene is the perfect word to describe this property. It was refreshing and quiet. We would love to come back

Lovely stay in a gorgeous place, this is a place that feels sacred. A place you respect and honor. A place to find yourself. Its obvious that this host views his land as a labor of love, it shows in so many ways. Peter was awesome. we really didn't need anything, but questions were answered quickly. I found it to be more like an integrated experience with a beautiful yurt, stunning beauty of the mountains and Redwoods..not just a place to lay your head at night. Hummingbirds visted often, frgrant flowers hreet you at every turn. Both the restaurans we visited were great for breakfast, dinner we grilled on the yurt patio. There is a flat top, gas BBQ, and outdoor gas heater. All the tools needed were available. however there so many restaurants close by, along hwy 1 or head into Santa Cruz. if you have a rambunctious dog, I wouldn't, unless you can be on point about watching. We only had 4 days. 2 weeks would of been perfect. still, very grateful for the time we had.

Quiet, clean & cozy space equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Toni is a considerate and responsive host who ensures all your needs are meet.

Perfect little spot for my wife and I. Felt right at home. Ivan

Wonderful place, and a nice quiet neighborhood right next to the beach, and the E- bikes are hella fun, would come back.

Jane’s place was a peaceful quaint spot for our weekend getaway. There’s a beautiful sunroof above the bed which gave great natural light, and the whole place had everything we needed and more, especially the kitchen, despite it size – even though we didn’t cook, in the case of a stay in night, we knew Jane’s kitchen was well equipped, same with the bathroom. Jane was very communicative throughout the whole weekend, with clear instructions on checking in and checking out. She was also very flexible with the check-in time, which we really appreciated. Overall, Jane’s space was a great spot to get away for the weekend and get out of town. Thanks again, Jane!

Absolutely Perfect Santa Cruz Getaway! My recent stay at this charming Santa Cruz home was fantastic! If you seek convenience and relaxation, this is it. The location was unbeatable – just a short stroll to the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, making access to rides, games, and the beach effortless. No parking worries! The hot tub was a true highlight. After a day of exploring, soaking in the warm, clean water under the stars was the perfect way to unwind and added a luxurious touch. The home itself was cozy and beautifully decorated, making us feel instantly at home. The kitchen was well-equipped, beds comfortable, and ample space for all. Host communication was excellent – responsive, friendly, and clear. We had a memorable time and are already planning our next visit. This Santa Cruz gem is a must-book for a relaxing, convenient, and enjoyable vacation. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Exactly what I needed for my long weekend in Santa Cruz. Soquel is super quiet and it’s minutes from Capitola Beach. Great option for me as a solo traveler on a budget.

Marianne and Windell were great! Garden apartment was beautiful and perfect for a family getaway with pups! Peaceful healing location and a short distance to shops. Wish Marianne and Windell the best of luck hosting and such a wonderful experience coming across this AirBnB!
