Vacation rentals with a patio in Sand City

Matthew was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The space itself was very clean and in a peaceful location, with some great hiking trails nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

Kevin was a very responsive host who checked in with me during the stay. The place was lovely - light, bright and clean. Freshly updated and remodeled with a peek of the beautiful ocean out the windows. Definitely would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. It is clean and in a quiet area but walkable to stores and restaurants. Loved having 2 king beds and 2 bathrooms and dedicated parking spots. Would definitely stay again.

Really nice view with nice shops in immediate walking distance.

Cute and clean in-law apartment located in a quaint and quiet neighborhood with walking distance to local hot spots. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. She responded quickly when questions arose. I would recommend this place for a great stay in Santa Cruz!

We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

We had a lovely stay in seaside! We had a large family group and the house accommodated us beautifully. There was so much space to gather and plenty of space for privacy too. The views were so lovely and the proximity to Monterey and Carmel were perfect. There were also plenty of great restaurants within seaside, as well. We would definitely recommend!

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.

We enjoyed our stay at Joanna & Jaden’s place with our toddler! They provided a highchair, pack n play and plates/cups/utensils for our little one which was super convenient for our stay. The place was extremely clean and beautifully decorated and looked exactly like the pictures! We loved the spacious backyard and the location was great. It was a quick drive to all the places on our list! Joanna & Jaden were very kind and responsive since the beginning of my booking. I had a few questions about their space and they quickly answered and eased my concerns. We had no issues staying at their place but it is a duplex where you share walls with the long term tenants next door. We could hear them walking/talking during our stay - again it wasn’t an issue but we did feel like we needed to keep our little one as quiet as possible to not disturb the tenants next door. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend this place for your next trip to Monterey/Carmel.

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

Beautiful property for families and friends alike! The large deck with games and a hot tub let's you really relax and take in the Carmel Valley views. Hosts were very responsive and flexible with our needs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious stay in Carmel Valley!

We had a fantastic stay at Andy and Jen's place with our group of 8 (7 adults and 1 toddler) who flew into CA from all over. The home is in a great location for visiting Monterey and Carmel (10-ish minutes to the aquarium), and was the perfect landing spot for us to all have our own space as well as time together. When we travel together, we like to eat in some (rotating responsibility for meals) and eat out at local spots. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking for groups (pots, pans, dishes, bowls, kid dishes, hand mixer, blender, muffin tins, measuring cups and spoons, spice rack, even some canola oil and syrup, etc.) The muffin tins & blender are new, as I had messaged Andy and Jen before to ask if those were in the home. They didn't previously have them, but they kindly responded they would order them and have them for our meals. Their communication and responsiveness was fantastic, and we just had the best time staying at their home. Book this home; you won't regret it!

We love this cozy little house. We had great experience at this kid and dog friendly place. The fenced backyard is amazing and you have an ocean view there. Definitely recommend.

We had a very peaceful stay :) Daniel's recommendations were very helpful. We enjoyed a lot of local hiking - definitely looking forward to staying here again.

I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. You can really tell they care about their guests and take pride in providing a great experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay. Thank you for everything!

Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

Stayed with my husband and parents here for our wedding week that was happening in the area. The place was plenty spacious for 4 people! Much better than a hotel room would’ve been. Gave us quality time cooking in the kitchen and hanging out in the living room, enjoying the hottub & heated pool and the beach! The ocean view from the dining table and the front porch is STUNNING!! The place is nice, well kept, and has everything you need! Any small things that popped up, Patti was helpful and fixed right away! Would definitely stay here again!!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It’s absolutely perfect and has everything you could possibly need. We were especially delighted to find chopsticks, which totally made our day since we were planning to have ramen and thought we’d have to use forks! The view from the condo is stunning, like something out of a movie, and it was such a treat to have easy access to the beach. Watching the sunset was one of the highlights of our trip. The host was very responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions for everything, from check-in and check-out to using the washer. The check-in process with the gate attendant was smooth and made us feel extra secure. Everything was super clean and thoughtfully prepared. We stayed at several Airbnbs along Route 1, and this one was undoubtedly the best. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time at this Seascape 1 bedroom unit. It has all the comforts of home plus an amazing view of the ocean. It was well stocked with everything you need. Tyler was very responsive when I needed help with the television remote control. Without a doubt one of the best places to stay in the area.

Nice and clean airbnb. It was an amazing stay by the beach. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at David's condo. It had a lovely view of the ocean, and was very clean and well appointed. There was plenty of information about amenities, and things to do. David is a great communicator & host. This is a ground level condo in the main building, so we heard workers using gas powered trimmers and power washing the building beginning at 9:00am in the morning. Luckily, David provides earplugs in the condo, which came in handy.

We stayed here with our 3-year-old son and all had a wonderful time! The unit we were in was exceptionally clean, quiet, and even had a small view of the ocean! The playground, pool, and beach were all right outside our door and were the highlight of our stay. Trader Joe’s and Target were less than 10 minutes away which was great too. It was a perfect spot to stay as we ventured through Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. Although, the condo was so relaxing we easily could have just stayed put the entire time! Would definitely love to come back! Thanks for being such a great host and for the excellent communication and quick responses!
