Waterfront vacation rentals in Central California

Daryl and William were an excellent hosting team. Daryl proactively reached out to welcome us and William was an incredible property manager, starting our stay off with quite the welcome - fresh flowers and treats from Tartine! The condo was exactly as described and we savored coffee every morning, taking in the ocean front view. The fridge was stocked with water and seltzer. The amenities were all clean and high-end. We were sad to leave! Thank you for graciously hosting us in this lovely apartment.

Awesome space with a great view

La Sirena was a wonderful rental! The location is unbeatable with great views of the Pacific Ocean and easy access to the restaurants in Stinson. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well appointed! They thought of everything!! Will be back!!

Really nice spot , host was super accommodating. Clean and easy to get inside.

I highly recommend staying here. Its absolutely beautiful. Perfect location right across the street from Capitila Beach, Margaritaville, Zeldas and many more restaurants and shops. The studio is clean and very comfortable. Trust me you'll love this place! Thanks Evan

An outstanding stay at Helena’s beautiful apartment. Great outdoor area. Excellent space and very tastefully decorated. Everything you need for a great stay.

Lovely place, excellent communication and care for our stay. Everything you need for a stay in the area!

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s beautiful oceanfront home! The views from the patio, and living room were absolutely stunning—we even spotted seal pups right from the patio. The location is perfect: easy walking distance to the aquarium, Cannery Row, the beach, and a scenic walking/bike path. The home was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—laundry soap, extra towels, high-quality bedding, and comfortable, homey furniture. Jane made the check-in process seamless with clear instructions and even left us a list of local recommendations and binoculars to enjoy the views. Although Jane lives upstairs, the unit feels very private. She was responsive and welcoming, while giving us plenty of space. This was one of the most comfortable and well-prepared rentals we’ve stayed in. Highly recommend!

This is a real gem of a location and home. Its our fourth time staying and won't be our last!

An incredible stay for me and my husband plus our two pups. It’s private and peaceful and was a great space for our pups to run around. Pamela is a great communicator and responsive. The house has majority of the cooking essentials you’ll need. It was a great place to stay!

We had a great long weekend at the house in Discovery Bay. The location was beautiful, the house was spacious and had all utilities that we could have wished for. Thank you very much!

We just returned from an AMAZING five days at The River’s Edge in Oakhurst. Perfect location near Yosemite, restaurants in town, Bass Lake, and the Yosemite Sugar Pine Train. Tina’s home is a private magical retreat near a roaring creek (thank you melting mountain snow!) with the best King pillows in the master bedroom…we got the best sleep ever! Tina’s instructions and communication was spot on. Our kids and pups enjoyed the stay, too! We highly recommend The Forks Resort restaurant at Bass Lake for the yummiest burgers, fries, and onion rings😋 Bee’s Bakery coffee and pastries were delicious 🤤 We were craving Mexican food and decided on Plazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Taqueria 🌮near Raley’s grocery store…it didn’t disappoint! And for dessert, don’t forget to stop by Reimer’s Ice Cream & Candy shop for an old fashioned ice cream sundae🍨. Excellent Spring Break Yosemite adventure with my family. Thank you, Tina!❤️🙏🏻

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.

Our stay here was amazing. The view was awesome, location was perfect and it was the perfect place to stay with two little ones. The beds and furniture were all so comfy and the backyard was a great spot to hang out. Being right on the beach was so relaxing, and hearing the waves at night was priceless. We’ll definitely be back.

Very nice area and house right on the lake. Our Grandson and daughter enjoyed the paddle boat and we had fun fishing. We didn’t catch anything and weren’t sure if there were any fish until a guy in a boat was catching fish by our dock. I’m sure as usual we weren’t using the right bait or lure. 12 year old grandson enjoyed playing basketball at the park nearby but the 7 year old was disappointed the play structure at the park was under construction. But there were other play structures nearby we could drive to.

This was a great place for our family. The house is very well equipped with everything we needed, and the hosts were communicative and helpful from beginning to end. We really enjoyed staying here. Thank you!

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!

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!

The unit was the perfect amount of cozy for my partner and our dog. We would stay here again just for the mountain views and closeness to the main part of town. Greg also had snow sleds that we got to use and it made the stay even more memorable! Really made it feel like we could explore Mammoth the right way.

The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

We had such a wonderful time🌴The beachy studio is very clean, well equipped and comfortably set back a bit which added extra privacy. Amber & Bryan are very responsive and kind providing great recommendations & meeting our needs immediately. There are so many wonderful things to do close by within walking distance and a short drive away too. They also provide a few extra perks too 🥰 You can tell they want guests to have what they would want when traveling paying attention to detail🌴 A real gem that we found. Thank you for sharing your condo with us🫶 Hope to return in the future☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

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.

The view from this property was extraordinary with amazing sunsets from the deck each night. The location was perfect to visit Santa Cruz one day and Pinnacles National Park the next. The host was very responsive. We’ll definitely save this to our wishlist.
