Oceanfront beach house with private hot tub
Beautiful location. House is amazing. One afternoon a family of 3 owls were resting on the house roof. We saw a dolpine swim by, courtesy of the excellent binoculars provided by the house owners and lots of wildlife in the really colourful sand dunes. Very happy to recommend.

Adorable Country Cottage WITH POOL!
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.

Serene Vineyard Chateau with Pool, Hot Tub, BBQ
A wonderful and peaceful stay! We loved the serene location and the thoughtful amenities — a perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing escape.

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!
Love this place! Will definitely come back!

Private Carmel Valley Retreat
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.

Toro Park Sunshine
We were in town for a weekend of trail racing and Valentina's place was perfect. It was less than a mile from our event at Toro Park and on a nice, quiet street. The place was very comfortable and the outdoor area was excellent for recovery and relaxing on Saturday. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for 5 of us. Valentina was very responsive throughout the entire process, I really appreciated her. Great place to stay!

California Tropical Refuge- Pool & Hot Tub
Beautiful home, better than the pictures, Great host! Would recommend & come back!

Oceanfront Retreat w/Private HotTub
It was beautiful, private, and a hidden gem! We had lots of fun and enjoyed all the views throughout the house. The house is even better than the pictures. We had our 2 boys, had plenty to do between the beach, books, basketball, spa, ping pong, and games! We definitely recommend and would go back! Not to mention I love artichokes and this house is located in artichoke city!! So amazing!! 10/10 you won’t be disappointed!

Chic comfort just a stroll from the sea!
Cozy home. Perfect place to stay with our dogs as the fenced yard is a nice feature. Great communication from hosts & we were even allowed an early check-in at the last minute which was greatly appreciated. We would stay here again.

Gorgeous Secluded Treehouse with Spectacular Views
Our family had a wonderful time soaking in the spectacular mountain views and embracing nature’s beauty. We loved our unexpected encounters with the local deer family, watching quail cross the streets, and discovering fascinating California native plants. Surprise to find items we need in the pantry and refrigerator, made us feel right at home. The comfortable mattresses and bedding ensured a restful sleep, even with the mysterious sounds of the wild surrounding the house at night. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Big Valley View Home
Loved it! It fit me and my friends perfectly plenty of space everything worked. We felt right at home it had a beautiful view and worked well for what we needed. The drive is great the little road up is a bit scary at night since it’s pitch black but other than that 10/10 recommend.

Seaside Sunshine 3bd/2bth sleeps 8
This was our third year using Donna’s home for our week-long annual trip to the Monterey peninsula. We have always been pleased with our stay, and this year was no different. Donna’s home has everything a family or group could need. The home has always been clean and tidy. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, and very close to most of the points of interest in this area including golf courses, the popular Monterey Bay Aquarium/Fisherman’s Wharf, and Laguna Seca Raceway. Her communication has been friendly and clear - no troubles to speak of. If you are considering a stay in this area, either short or longer term, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!

Big Sur Dream Home
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.

Marina Refuge - A 4BD Home Near Town & Aquarium
House was clean and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable

Sallie’s Cottage
We loved our stay here! House was charming, and in a beautiful location. Amenities were fantastic and exactly as advertised.

Elegant Carmel Cottage
Sam's cottage was the perfect accommodation for our trip to Carmel — comfortable, cozy, and complete with all the amenities we needed. Getting to town is a pleasant walk along a sidewalk path — no car needed! It was also convenient having laundry and a fully stocked kitchen. Thank you, Sam!

Carmel Hideaway - Modern Luxury
This is our second time coming back. Can't praise enough what his place has to offer. Highly recommend.

Ocean View Paradise
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.

Monterey Bay Harbor
I came here with my family and friends, it is a really nice place to stay!

Fully Stocked Monterey Peninsula Vacation Home
Loved everything about our stay at Briana’s home. Felt like staying in a brand new home; everything was very clean and thoughtfully stocked. Our kids loved the playroom and beach toys. The neighborhood is quiet and very close to major shopping (Costco, Target). We would definitely stay here again.

casa de Lou
Jose’s home was beautiful and had ample space for my whole family. It was really clean and easy to feel right at home. Would definitely recommend staying at his home if you’re ever in the Salinas area!

Garden House
Thank you for being a great host, for having everything that we didn't think we needed and for letting us check in an hour earlier.

Serenity Getaway - Near MRY Aquarium and downtown
A very nice home for a stay with a moderately sized family. Very good walkable restaurants from the house. A very short drive away from the aquarium, felt very safe with the kids playing in the yard it was enclosed.

2 King Beds, Free Coffee, Comfy!
Charity's place was one of the best that my fiancé and I have stayed at before. From the beginning she was super communicative and went above and beyond for making sure we had everything we needed for our few days that we'd spent there. Also meeting Walter their pup was a wonderful and great experience.
