Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Pacific Grove

We had a wonderful stay at Marci’s Airbnb — we truly didn’t want to leave! The space was beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. Marci went above and beyond with personal touches like fresh flowers, wine, and cookies, which made us feel so welcome and at home. Every detail was just right. Highly recommend this lovely spot — we hope to come back!

Beautiful home, great for our girls weekend. Cute backyard to hang out in and even cooler golf simulator. Definitely would stay here again if we are back in Monterey. Max was so helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. Also best coffee bar … we loved it !!

I highly recommend this spot. A short walk to a grocery, restaurants, and most importantly, the beach. The home itself is very nicely maintained, updated, and very clean. And I gotta throw in some extra kudos for the sheets. I am no fabric guy but wow, they’re soft! The off street parking is perfect too. Highly recommend!

We selected the home to celebrate a 60th birthday with siblings. It was perfect for our group of five. We walked (and ran) on the beach, did puzzles, made meals together, and spent quality time just hanging out. Kitchen has everything one could need. Plenty of supplies. Clear instructions and expectations. We’d absolutely return.

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!

Really enjoyed the central location and proximity to the beach, but also how secluded / quiet the house felt. The large sliding doors and large deck backed up to trees/nature was the highlight! Also the EV charger was a nice addition since we forgot to charge the car before heading out for the weekend.

Came here with my family of 5. We had a Great relaxing time. The house was very peacefully and quiet. We enjoyed how it’s so close to Spanish Bay, we watch sand piper and sunset at the links. It’s nice how this place was walking distance to the beach. We enjoyed our stay here. Jackie was very kind and made recommendations for us to see and explore. We will definitely stay here again.

One of the nicest places we have stayed at. Very new and clean feeling. Great place for the family gathering.

Great place and great location! The place was exactly as described and pictured. We arrived on Friday night, parked our car and didn’t move it all weekend! It was perfect. Thank you for a great weekend!

Awesome stay at Fidel’s place. Check in was easy and the included parking was great. Loved that the parking included a sign with my name to indicate the correct spot. Everything in the apartment was super clean. Bed was very comfortable. Laundry being included was also very convenient and an excellent amenity. We also really enjoyed the Simpson’s game. Would love to stay again!

Perfect, relaxed retreat for two people. The space was cozy, cute small kitchen, patio to eat on. Up in the trees. Beautiful neighborhood which was close to Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel. Literally one turn from 17 Mile Drive. We hiked, snorkeled, sea kayaked, went to farmer's markets, all an easy drive from this accommodation. We cooked each night on the small kitchen and it had everything we needed. Russell was a great host!

Nikki’s place was the perfect affordable option for us! It was clean had everything we needed for the week. Nikki was quick to respond to inquiries and was willing to be flexible on our checkout time. We had an amazing time exploring around locally and walking to downtown Carmel.

We had a very peaceful stay at Michael’s place in the mountains and Michael was friendly and helpful in checking us in and providing recommendations for good places nearby. It was nice to sit out on the property too and enjoy the beautiful views. Would stay there again!

Well-stocked, simply furnished bungalow-type attached residence in the Seabright neighborhood, convenient to the northeastern residential sections of Santa Cruz and to supermarkets and natural food stores. Many new, easy-to-operate small appliances and good laundry set-up. Ample kitchenware and condiments. Quiet city surroundings, easy parking. Overall, staying at the unit (and interacting with owner) was a pleasure.

Quiet, peaceful, quaint apartment. Felt very cozy & welcoming. Good location to explore Monterey & surrounding area. Full kitchen, comfy bed, very tasteful antique decor. Lovely courtyard, felt very safe. Street parking. Leo’s is a very responsive host.

The studio is well laid out and has high quality cabinets and furniture. It had the best stocked kitchen we have seen in an Airbnb. The views were very nice. The skylights were great. So much natural light. Parking on the street was OK. Definitely hope to stay again.

Amazing views of the Pajaro River and Pacific Ocean. Short walk (300 yards) to the beach along a boardwalk or enjoy the views from the livingroom through the large picture windows or deck. Perfect for a couple or young family (the two twin beds in the second bedroom are quite small but my 20 something daughters had no complaints). Abundant bird watching opportunities along with the occasional sea lion\seal and otter.

This stay is absolutely amazing. Comfy bed and furniture. Stocked Kitchen. Steps to the beach. Closet full of beachy things. We had fun flying the kite. Built bonfires just over the dune on the beach. 🏖️ Don’t hesitate to book. This place is it.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay! The pictures didn't do it justice - all the upgrades were well worth it and my family thoroughly enjoyed the stay there. My was very responsive and helpful. So glad we found it! Would definitely stay there again.

Lisa was very friendly and responsive. She not only provided clear instructions, flexible check-in, but also shared many great local dinning options, which were super helpful for our family of five. The condo was kept spotless with comfortable king size bed, bunkbed that my boys love, a beautiful swirling love seat that my daughter loved to sit in while watching sea birds catching fish using the binocular provided! Our family specifically loved the fireplace on the balcony. It was just perfect for us to enjoy the cozy night chatting and laughing by the fire while listening to the ocean waves NorCal beaches can be very chilling at night. The outdoor fireplace is such a thoughtful amenity. THANK YOU, Lisa!

Flora Belle is a lovely property in the centre of Carmel-by-Sea, with private parking and walking distance to the centre of town. The property was nicely furnished with all the services we needed. It was clean and tidy and Mary was very friendly and helpful. All in all we had a lovely stay in Carmel by Sea and will be returning again soon.

This place was amazing, we could hear the ocean when going to bed at night. My wife loved it, would definitely come back!

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.

The location of Jeanie's apartment is excellent. Down town Carmel by the sea has nice little boutique shops and lots of nice restaurants. It is a very cute town. We could walk down to Carmel beach. Apartment is small but private and quiet.
