Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Salinas

This home was perfect for our large group! The kids loved playing in the backyard and the house was spacious, clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking items. Highly recommend!

A beautiful and relaxing space. I loved staying here and hope to return soon. The home is gorgeous and comfortable. Perfect.

It was a beautiful home, my family and I loved it

We had a great time at Casey’s place! There was plenty of room for our 8 person group with extra to spare. It felt private and the views were amazing. We loved hanging outside on the patio and got to see some wildlife also. Would definitely book this place again!

We absolutely loved Kim's place! It was really cozy, felt like a real home, and was super well stocked (kitchen especially.) She's clearly put a lot of effort into her home and yard. Lovely art, plants, and well kept gardens made it feel so comfortable. Kim was so pleasant and helpful too. Always ready with a recommendation, quick to respond to any questions, but most importantly, she was just so, so nice! It was a pretty quiet neighborhood too so the days and nights were peaceful. You could walk to some stores if you wanted to as well but a car would make things easier, especially for groceries. Would 100% stay with her again.

This was our second stay here and it’s such a cute place to stay at, it feels like home. Everything is clean and the outside patio area is so perfect for enjoying the weather.

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.

Great location for our getaway to Monterey. House is across the street from a park. Spacious house with lots of space and beds. Would recommend to any large group!

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:)

Michelle was a very proactive host. Space is clean, neat and as pictured. Was great alternative to hotel for a conference trip. Would stay again.

My partner and I stayed over night at Manresa Surf House for our 2 year anniversary and I just have to say we could not have picked a better place to stay!! The hosts were so welcoming, kind, helpful, and responsive. The property is also just a short drive away from Capitola which was very convenient for us!! Room was also very clean and comfortable, the bed was also very comfy which was a big plus!! The kitchen had so many things accessible to us as well which was a nice touch. Overall it was a stellar experience, definitely would recommend this place and visit again!!

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!

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!

Nice, clean and well-equipped apartment within walking distance of convention center. Cecilia is very quick in responding to any small issues there might be.

Luong’s place was a great pit stop during our California road trip! The surrounding area had a lot of amenities to offer and was only a short ride away to the coast line. The beds were comfortable and offered a good nights rest which we were in desperate need of! Overall good experience!

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.

Staying at this Airbnb was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and thoughtfulness—fresh local flowers, many beautiful books related to the neighborhood in reading material. The space was immaculately clean, beautifully designed, with everything I could need—toiletries to fast Wi-Fi .The host went above and beyond, checking in to ensure everything was perfect. It felt less like a rental and more like a five-star boutique hotel with the heart of a home. I truly didn’t want to leave!” This is a real heartfelt space in the middle of my home town that provided the soulful connection to home.

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.

We’ve stayed at Pajaro Dunes before, but it’s been decades ago. Marc’s place was perfectly situated for privacy and views and was very clean and well appointed. The peacefulness and serenity were exactly what we were looking for. The beachy feel of the furnishings was charming and the unit included all that we needed including an upgraded and well furnished kitchen, a gas fireplace, a comfortable, king size bed and other essentials like extra blankets and a Kuerig coffee maker. Our only difficulty was when inadvertently trying to use the TV remote to change channels…Don’t Do That, Use the cable remote like it says in the instructions. Spent a thoroughly enjoyable four days here with side trips to Monterey and Carmel. Perfect home base for dining out and exploring the coast, and an excellent, proactive host.

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!
