Oceanfront beach house with private hot tub

HelenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Private Carmel Valley Retreat

LizaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

MikeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

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

TiffanyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

Seaside Sunshine 3bd/2bth sleeps 8

ErikRating, 5 stars10 months ago
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

JamesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

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.

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.

2 King Beds, Free Coffee, Comfy!

SaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.
