Guesthouse vacation rentals in Monterey County

I had a great time at Lunas home. The location was great and I felt straight at home. I would love to come back again.

This was the most beautiful space on an incredible regenerative working ranch. The staff was so nice and gave us a real sense of the full operation. The historic cottages were beautiful. We loved the colors in the Cheese House. The view from our porch was amazing and it felt so private - a real get away from the cities we visited on vacation. We also loved that hikes were possible right outside your door. And we saw a condor!!!! Although star gazing was the only night entertainment needed, we had a delicious dinner at the Inn down the road. We loved the wine tasting nearby. And we spent a day in Monterey. I’d come back over and over.

Helaine’s place was perfect for our trip to Monterey. It was clean, quiet, and well appointed. We’d be happy to stay again for our next visit to the area.

Paicines Ranch was great! We only stayed a night, but will likely go back since it was very nice, comfortable, peaceful, and in a good location. Really appreciate the clear instructions and they had everything we need to rest well. Definitely recommend it!

Paicines Ranch was the perfect location for our trip to Pinnacles National Park. If you love farm animals, this is the stay for you! I loved waking up to the horses outside the window and the sheep a short walk away. If you are arriving at night, finding the cottage can be tricky, so I’d recommend getting there in the daylight if possible! The stay was just what we needed and I would love to come back and further explore the property!

Robbie was a great host. If you have any questions or problems, he was always helpful. The RV is spacious and has everything you need. The new mattress is super comfy. Robbie showed us the animals (goats, alpacas, horse) of his ranch and we were even allowed to feed and pet them.

A wonderful little cottage, tucked away next to Carmel River. Super quiet. Quiet street. Carmel Valley at its best.

In Carmel Valley, tucked away, We found a home where hearts could stay— A fireplace warm, with gentle light, That wrapped us up each peaceful night. Design that spoke in thoughtful tones, From salt and pepper to stylish homes, To soaps and scents with luxe appeal— Each touch refined, each detail real. So clean, so calm, a space well-kept, Where every book we touched and read Told tales of surf and wines and form— In pages, we felt soft and warm. The silence sang, the stillness true, With morning light and mountain views. Outside, the deer and birds would glide, While inside, comfort did reside. The hosts, with gestures kind and dear, Made sure we felt completely near To something rare, a kind of grace— You feel it deeply in this place. With cozy sheets and golden sun, This stay was pure—a perfect one. We left with hearts both full and free, Already dreaming when we’d be Back again, to that serene art— A home that hugs your soul and heart.

Martha’s home was perfect for our family of 4. We had everything we needed during our stay and Martha was very responsive to any questions we had.

Pure bliss! What a lovely and unique place. All has been said in previous comments. You feel at home immediately! Matt is such a great host - we had some lovely conversation. Highly recommend, we would come back in a heartbeat.

This place was so beautiful! I only have great things to say. She was super helpful with giving directions to get to her place. Everything was super clean and had every thing you would need to stay a few nights. Soaps, pots, pans, extra towels, extra blankets, and extra pillows!! I didn’t expect that much amenities! When we checked in and out there was no communication needed you just show up then leave. Also the heated floor was amazing! I would 100% stay again. We actually left some clothes behind and she told me about it right away! I 110% recommend staying here! So worth it!

Stayed here for a few days and it was beautiful. It felt secluded and peaceful. I enjoyed sitting on the deck outside and just taking in the views. Host was friendly and provided useful instructions. I would recommend screenshotting the directions and check in instructions prior to arriving since you will lose service and this will make your experience arriving easier. Overall a wonderful place to go to relax and enjoy the beauty of Carmel.

One night is not enough! The combination of ambience and location is just perfect!!!! Highly recommend waking up early, going for a run , getting a coffee in the local shop then playing some Elton John while take a morning shower outside!will be back soon

It was great to arrive at Chi-Pings place after a long day of driving. Clean, beautiful, and spacious inside. Not too far of a drive from restaurants and beach in Carmel. Would stay here again!

Josephine’s place was perfect for my stay! The place had everything I needed, from essentials to thoughtful extras that made my visit even more comfortable. It was spotless, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Check-in was a breeze, and the clear instructions made everything super easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and well-equipped stay!

We had an amazing stay at Elia's property! All four of us were thoroughly pleased with the thoughtful amenities and included features—it truly felt like a home away from home. A special thank you for the great coffee that added a delightful touch to our mornings. We hope to rent from you again in the future. Highly recommended!

Great stay! Very quiet and peaceful vibes all around. The amnesties are amazing especially the spa and billiards table. Felt right at home and had a lot of things to do around. Definitely recommend staying here

Thank you so much for hosting us in your beautiful home! We had an amazing time during our vacation — the house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. The location was perfect, and we especially appreciated all the thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly felt at home and would absolutely love to come back in the future. Thank you again for being such a great host!

This guest house was absolutely incredible. The location cannot be beat. The amenities were awesome. The house was well stocked, we did not need anything. Our host was amazing, so kind, so responsive and very nice. We plan to come back next year for the Sea Otter Classic race and this will be the place we stay. Super clean, great location and the most awesome host.

Had a lovely stay at Maria’s Carmel Valley studio! Way nicer than a hotel. The bedding was so comfortable and clean, as was the kitchen and bathroom, which included everything you’d need for your stay - cooking tools, dishes, and a little coffee bar. Having laundry access was amazing, we were able to pack less and do a few loads during our stay. The location of the property is in a very beautiful neighborhood with walkable country roads where you can see wild turkeys and horses in stables or being walked. The Carmel River runs nearby this property, with several wonderful hiking and biking trails very close by. Easy to drive around from here, and you get a designated parking spot. It’s about 7 minutes from Carmel Valley Ranch, 15 minutes from downtown Carmel, and 20+ minutes from Monterey Bay. Would 10/10 recommend this spot for everyone!
