Socially Distant yet Closein; Meadow, Hot Tub, Pet

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We cannot express how enjoyable our stay was at this tremendous Air BnB. The listing was as posted, and the house itself was cozy but sufficient space for us all to unwind and relax. The location was a super easy jaunt to the phenomenal Henry Cowell Redwood State Park (5 minute drive), boardwalk at Santa Cruz (~20 minutes), and to the UCSC campus (~25 minutes). We ate (twice!) at the local Trout Farm Inn restaurant (~3-5 min drive) that was recommended by the owner - absolutely delicious and super friendly. Being a bit away from the beach town meant that our stay was exceptionally quiet and we spent many evenings in the hot tub watching the stars come out - we could even see the Milky Way. Have already recommended the listing to several friends and cannot wait to come back again! Thanks Robert and crew for a great location, stay, and all your help & recommendations.

Santa Cruz Beach House with Pool & Spa

RebecaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Ken and Brigit have a lovely beach home. Perfect for relaxing in the nice pool and spa - or conveniently located to beaches, boardwalk and restaurants. The inside of the home is very peaceful with all amenities provided as advertised. There is a beautiful yard that has a dining area as well as lots of room around the pool for lounging. The hosts were very responsive and kept in contact with us prior to our arrival which made the experience very enjoyable. We hope to return to this property as frequently as our family schedule permits. We recommend this property highly. R Peters

Private Pool Villa for family getaways

SusanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We enjoyed being nestled in the forest and surrounded by nature. The lovely water fountain provided soothing sounds and attracted loads of birds. The garden had amazing sweet smelling flowers and it was so much fun to have lots of beds to choose from to sleep. Only thing is early morning and evening rush hour does bring a brief period of vehicle noise, but that does not make this place any less desirable. We'll be back for sure. Nearby we visited the Glaum organic chicken farm and bought eggs from the vending machine. You need four CRISP and I mean CRISP one dollar bills to feed the cash machine. Once accepted, the eggs are deployed on a carton and the assorted stuffed animals behind the glass sing 5 rounds of ragtime. It's hysterical!!!

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!

PattyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Monterey Dunes. The unit is beautiful and exactly as described. Watching the whale spouts across the bay was amazing as we sat both on the deck and in the full-windowed living room...there is not a bad seat in the house for enjoying the bay and the sunsets! Shelli provided us with great recommendations both locally and throughout the rest of our trip. We did a whale watching trip with Sea Goddess during our stay and saw so many varieties of whales and other sea creatures, truly a highlight and one we highly recommend as Monterey Bay is a hot bed of activity. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We hope to be back one day from Delaware! Patty+Larry Sinkus

Private Carmel Valley Retreat

CaityRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My family and I absolutely loved staying in this listing. After navigating the curvy and winding roads, we found Mary's property easily. The house and surrounding areas were absolutely beautiful. There were seven of us staying on the property and we never felt as though we needed more space. The pool and the hot tub were added bonuses. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely look at this property for another stay.

Pauline HeidyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved staying! Location was amazing, and we loved the access to the nearby trail which takes you directly to the harbor within just 20 minutes. If you love animals you’ll love seeing the cows in the pasture who love when you bring them veggies! The place itself was very comfortable and has everything you need. It had really nice touches like drinking water, snacks etc. Highly recommend!

Light and spacious Carmel cottage

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Carolyn’s place is simply charming. Old, but well maintained house, very spacious and light. Carolyn thought of every detail : well stocked kitchen with clear labels for everything, firewood and kindling by the fireplace, plenty of towels in the bathrooms and even things like sunblock in the closet and ear plugs in the bedroom! Freshly picked flowers on the dining table added a special touch :). The neighborhood is very quiet. Beach is 3-5 min short walk away. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Aptos Beachfront House

ZachRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Wow 🤩 we will definitely be coming back to this beach house. They had everything we needed with 4 little kids. It was the most magical stay. Being right across from the beach was so convenient and fun. The views from the home, front and back, were so beautiful! Huge windows to watch the waves and sky. Kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfy! Tons of toys. We loved having the kayaks and boogie boards to take out. Cute welcome basket that made us feel welcome. 10/10 would recommend

Peaceful Seaside Getaway

YadiraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
My partner and I, along with our two dogs, had the best time at Kit and Annette’s place! It was homey from the beginning and incredibly clean and cozy, almost like staying at a relative’s house. We also loved the snacks and coffee that they provided! The location was close to Monterey and Carmel, which we frequented. Kit and Annette were very quick to respond when we had a question. Would love to stay here again in the future!

Gorgeous Secluded Treehouse with Spectacular Views

KevinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Such a magical stay - gorgeous house, the views are stunning, and Tracy was a first-rate host. She was clear and communicative, and was incredibly gracious when I mistakenly forgot to send an accommodation request in advance. This is a perfect spot if you want a deluxe retreat that’s still an easy drive into town. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Private waterfall koi pond 1 Bd Home sleeps 4

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights. Place was clean and neat. We felt right at home and made ourselves comfortable. We had a rental car so the location was convenient to downtown monterey. The little oasis in the yard was the best part, we spent a lot of time out there just enjoying the sunshine and once the sun went down we turned on the fire pit! Only thing was that we couldn’t get the tv to work in the bedroom.

Elegant Carmel Cottage

ConnieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Sam’s cottage was delightful and charming! It was cozy, beautifully decorated, very clean and the large patio was my favorite feature! We had coffee outside, and it was so relaxing. There is noise from the street, but the location and convenience to downtown easily make up for it. I loved the rustic decor and the leather chairs in the LR were super comfortable! We will surely return in the future!
