Santa Cruz-Aptos- Beach Home-by-The -Sea
I would surely book this place again. The place was very comfortable and had everything we needed, including laundry facilities. The location was great for walking and also a easy close drive to Nicene Marks Forest for a lovely hike. Communication was very pleasant and quick. Loved this stay.

Pacific Suite (PG License # 0420)
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:)

180° Oceanview Condo-Surfboards-Bikes
Really nice view with nice shops in immediate walking distance.

Fancy-Free by the Sea
We had a wonderful stay at Nikki’s! It was clean, quiet, and close to all we wanted to do - perfect for our 2 night visit!

Three Mermaid’s Cove ( License #0459) Penthouse
The house is off the beach but a 2 min walk to the coast. We really enjoyed walking to restaurants and stores in Pacific Grove. Very short, easy drive to Asimolar State Beach and the Monterrey Aquarium.

Sunny, modern/contemporary one-bedroom.
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.

Aloha Apartment w/Spa
Nice hot tub and gas fireplace which we enjoyed every night! Our son is a surfer so we walked a couple blocks to the bluff to watch him. Great restaurants in the area and sites (surfing museum) to see. Abbot Square was a good venue to eat and enjoy music.

Bombora Apartment Capitola Beach Village
We LOVED the location. The whole place was perfect. It's near our favorite place, Gayle's bakery and downtown Capitola, so it saves a lot on driving time. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Haute Enchilada Beachside Resort
I loved my stay at Kim’s! I’m a Northern California native and I was thrilled with the rustic, laid-back vibe of Moss Landing. Walking distance to sumptuous coastal landscape. Loved that I could bring my pup. The bathtub was luxuriously appointed with thick white towels and boutique toiletries. Would come again and stay longer! Love, love, love!

Beach Front Dream House! Hottub/E-Bikes/Surfboards
The place was great, literally across the street from the beach, super clean and comfortable, and the best part was the kayak, which we took out in the morning and we were able to see dolphins, sea lions, and otters fantastic!!

Copper Nest beach retreat with stunning views
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.

Charming Victorian Home Near Beach
We had a fabulous time at the historic Pink House! It’s better than pictured with its historic charm (incredible stained glass windows throughout) and modern comforts - everything we needed including a fully appointed kitchen, super comfortable beds, and a washer and dryer. The neighborhood was quiet and just a very short walk away from many restaurants (we loved Passion Fish), Lover’s Point (we definitely enjoyed watching the otters eat) and the waterfront walk/bike trail. We were there for the Big Sur marathon and it was a great location for that - just 7 minutes from the Monterey Conference Center and downtown Monterey. We loved all of the books detailing the history of the home. Communication was amazing - we’ll definitely stay here again if we’re in the area! Snag this spot if it’s available - you won’t be disappointed.

Cozy Home*Dog Friendly* State Parks Pass Include
It was a great location and a great house. Real homey feeling and the backyard was awesome! Would definitely stay again.

Carmel Oasis By The Sea TOT # 001407
A Dreamy Escape in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Thanks to Laura! Her Airbnb was a beautifully curated sanctuary, perfectly positioned. Laura's invaluable recommendations truly elevated our experience. She guided us to local treasures and the historic Carmel Bakery for morning treats. We cannot recommend Laura and her beautiful Airbnb highly enough. If you're seeking a serene, beautiful, and engaging escape to the California coast, look no further. We are already dreaming of our return!

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!

Modern Beach Retreat-Free EV Charging
Our stay was wonderful. Our two girls especially did not want to leave. Everything was so comfortable and clean, we loved the toys and books, and the projector set up. The architecture and remodeling was beautiful. Appreciate the lack of tacky artwork on the walls. Tracie and Dave were such generous hosts. Hope to be back, thank you!

One of a kind full River and Ocean view!
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.

Beachfront Tranquility
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.

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
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.

Seagull House Downtown Pacific Grove
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.

OCEAN Views and Steps from the BEACH, New & Modern
We had a wonderful stay in Aptos! Hosts were very helpful, responsive, and flexible. You can tell they take great care of the house and think of all the details and amenities a visitor might need. Although we didn’t use the kitchen and bbq, everything you might need is there. The beds were very comfortable as well. The view is breathtaking, we even saw whales! It’s the perfect location to local restaurants, coffee spots, and grocery stores. Very close to Santa Cruz without the hustle and bustle. My family would definitely recommend and stay here again.

A Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!
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.

Seascape Oceanf 1 bdr suite hottub Aptos SantaCruz
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.

Carmel downtown flat near shops and restaurants
This is an perfect place to land in Carmel. The kitchen is well-equipped for breakfasts at home - we even cooked a full dinner here! The photos are exactly like the actual accommodations and Jeanie is a wonderful host.
