Waterfront vacation rentals in Big Sur

I absolutely loved my stay here! Edel and Alex are so sweet and made my experience even better. Great location and the perfect little spot with everything you’d need. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We loved our stay. We had plenty of space for our family and dogs. The place had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It even had coffee and sugar and a few other things that made the first morning so much easier. We were close to restaurants and shops and walked everywhere. We will definitely be back!

The wife and I really enjoyed the location of this place. You would be hard pressed to find another Airbnb with a better spot!

Definitely the best host I've ever had with Air BB. Beautiful location, comfy and cozy, great recommendations. Highly appreciated and recomeneded. It you come to the Monterey area, you should stay here

Only one minor thing: the universal electric car charger is out or order. Not the host's fault. But be aware. (There is a Tesla charger in the garage that's working.)

We enjoyed a perfectly peaceful stay at Ann’s! We couldn’t have asked for a better location with the aquarium, shops, restaurants, and beaches within walking distance. The bed was comfy, cozy interior, beautiful gardens. Just the perfect spot!

Can't wait to be back at this amazing stay again! The accommodation was exactly as shown in the pictures and the view of the beach was just great. It was peaceful and felt very secure. The rooms were spotless and the kitchen and bathrooms had all the required commodities. The house felt cozy and the decorations added to the comfortable atmosphere. Overall, this accommodation made our holiday perfect!!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

We had a great time and would definitely recommend. The neighborhood and property are gorgeous. House was comfortable, airy and sunny. We loved the river access!

We had a spectacular visit to Coppers Nest. The house is a marvel from the second to walk the boardwalk to their stairs, and the interior is thoughtful and very well appointed. The complex is quintessential California, with unique architecture, gorgeous flora and fauna, plenty of amenities (pickleball, tennis, bball courts, bocce, etc), all with the constant and soothing pounding of waves and ocean views at every turn. Bryan and Erin were terrific hosts, making sure we had everything we needed while never feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a Monterey Bay vacation.

We never wanted to leave! beautiful place, extremely gorgeous surroundings, lots to do nearby, great recommendations from Stefan and all the guests felt like they had the best room. I loved how pelicans would fly by right at eye level, we could pop down the beach in less than a minute, I could look out and see the endless ocean from almost any room, the kitchen was big and bright, and I even saw some whales migrating north!!

We had a lovely stay at Windrush Inn - Harbor House! The location is perfect and the house is beautiful! It was well-appointed and spotless. It truly felt like a hotel, but better! Mike was very responsive during the booking process when I had questions. The check in process was clear. All in all, a perfect stay! 10/10 recommend and can’t wait to come back and stay at Windrush.

This place is perfect for families who are looking to stay close to Pismo beach but not in Pismo. It’s close to the highway and also easy to find. Check in smooth and the instructions were clear. The place was very well maintained and well decorated. It is in neighborhood with a lot of residential houses but that was perfect for us as we had kids.

Awesome house went with 16 teenagers and two parents. Everybody was able to walk and do whatever they wanted throughout the day and come back together for meals with plenty of space. As noted by some others it can be loud at times but with a/c you can easily close windows and drop blinds which worked great.

I spend a lot of time in the area and the accomodations at this beach house were superior! Will definitely return. Very nice home.

We LOVED our stay at Evan’s place. Exactly as described. We took advantage of all the things including a dry sauna, a hot tub and the bikes. I was able to even get in a day surfing. I brought my own wetsuit, and borrowed a board. My 3 year old referred to it as our “vacation house”. We will absolutely be coming back.

Amazing views of the Pajaro River and the ocean. Perfect place for wildlife viewing. We enjoyed the comfortable seating area with panoramic coastline views through the large picture windows. There's also a nice deck attached to the living room and master bedroom.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s condo! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kristina was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this Airbnb – we’d definitely stay here again!

My mom and I so enjoyed the relaxing and peaceful atmosphere you created. It was the perfect getaway.

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

Marc’s beach view condo was absolutely beautiful. Spent a girls weekend there and it was very comfortable for three people. Kitchen was fully stocked, fireplace was nice and cozy. He was very flexible with our check-in time. I highly recommend this place if you’d like a peaceful location & quite beautiful ocean view. This is a perfect location in between Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel.

I will echo on so many other reviews that were left for this Aptos property. The condo itself was beautiful, spacious for 4 adults and 2 little kids. There was easy access to the beach (5 minutes through a paved path) as well as access to different pools and a restaurant. Even with a great property, I’m also giving this a 5-star review because Annie was great to communicate with. She offered wonderful recommendations during our stay, and any minor issue we had, she offered a fix for very quickly. She genuinely made our stay worth every penny spent at this location. The added amenities that she provided were definitely a great bonus!

This property has an awesome location - just steps from the beach. What really stood out was how responsive the host is. We checked in just before midnight as we were stuck in traffic but she stayed up to make sure we got in all right. Whenever we had a question, she was quick to respond. Thank you for a great stay!

Terri and her crew were spot on in communications. polite and very helpful. The house we rented was in a fantastic location as to proximity to downtown. A wonderful view every morning and evening. It was incredibly well stocked as far as appliances, kitchen equipment and the pantry. It had all the towels and linens and bath needs you needed. The home had the regular wear and tear that any regularly used AirBnB has. The appliances were is great condition. There were a couple of lights that need some new bubs in a couple of the room but nothing major. The washers and dryers were nice to have, we didn't need because we were only there for a few nights but visitors with kids this would, be great. The location is in a relatively busy parking lot and street, but having your own parking space we never had any trouble. I would recommend this home to any one with or without kids.
