Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Monterey County

Great house. A little far from Monterey (about 42 minutes) but we had a great time none the less. Big home, room for lots of people, extra bedding and blankets and the kids loved the outside area. The fire pit was relaxing and enjoyable and having the washer and dryer was nice. Charles was very responsive and we appreciated the hospitality.

Nicer than the pictures. No complaints. Good value and nice home.

We were a group of two families and we had a great time at this place. The place was conveniently located closer to all the attractions we planned to visit during our stay. Jessica has laid out clear instructions to check in and check out and also provided local recommendations to restaurants that were really helpful. Would love to visit and book again.

Great place! Highly recommend. Victor was a gracious and proactive host.

Charming house. Very clean and lots of amenities. Great location relative to tourist highlights.

Luyuan’s place was exactly what we needed in an ideal location! Couldn’t have found better for our little family of four.

Mina was very proactive and responsive with communication. When we needed extra linens in the kitchen he promptly brought them over. His place is clean and well stocked with cooking and dining utensils for us to make quick breakfast or heat up leftovers. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We didn’t explore Marina much but It’s an easy drive into Monterey which was where we were headed for the day.

Pradyumna was an excellent host - very clear and prompt communication beginning from when I first made the reservation and leading up to my trip. The house feels clean, modern, and charming with state of the line appliances which made for a relaxing yet high-end atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Great stay. The space was larger and nicer than expected. Very good location with proximity to beach and restaurants. Would stay here again.

I couldn't be happier with our stay at Michele’s Le Bijou at Toujours Maison! We booked it after reading the great Airbnb reviews and am so glad we found it. I wanted to stay at a cute and nice place in Carmel, and had some difficulty finding a place that fit our needs. WE LOVED Michele’s place, and can see why it gets so many compliments! Our stay was a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and he also loved it just as much as I did. More than anything, the hospitality was outstanding - every detail of the experience felt thoughtful and personalized. From the heated towel rack and heated floors to the cozy board games and beautiful design touches, everything felt curated to made our stay feel extra special. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Carmel from a great host who makes the whole experience feel effortless and so worth it!

We LOVED the place! So clean, great host, and beautiful! We wanted to spend our anniversary in Carmel and this was the PERFECT place! Thank you so much!

The apartment is quiet, clean, and cozy. Perfect for a couples getaway. We also loved how the property is conveniently nearby all the sights! We came to Seaside to visit Carmel, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Old Fisherman’s Wharf, and Pebble Beach.

Great place. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to take a family vacation to America's best little small town, Pacific Grove. Would absolutely stay there again.

Darling, charming small 1 bedroom. Had most things we needed - we always appreciate a coffee and tea bar. Parking wasn’t a problem as we were in and out during the day. The restaurant below, Toro sushi, could fit us in easily our first night which was nice. Sanctuary rentals was quick to respond. It’s expensive, but so is all of Carmel By The Sea. Would stay there again.

Such a lovely stay, my partner and I had a very relaxing weekend at Susanne’s. We got to enjoy everything around us the beach in Carmel was beautiful!! We also enjoyed having breakfast in the morning with a beautiful view. Thank you Susanne for letting us stay in your beautiful studio.

Great hosts, great location. I will definitely stay here again when in Monterey.

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.

The location of the apartment is awesome. We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and excellent view of the beach and ocean. Sleeping with the sound of the ocean waves was such a gift. Patti is lovely and kind with her communications. We did have some issues with the shower and bath sink in one of the bathrooms. We also wished we had paid attention to what was not listed in terms of provisions. For example, you’d have to bring your own coffee, teas, paper towels, and bathroom hand soaps (although napkins and bath soap bars were provided). Overall, a beautiful home at a great location with potentials for some minor improvements which I understand Patti will address in good spirit.

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

We had such a relaxing time! So close to the beach, loved being able to walk out the door and be at the ocean. We could hear the waves at night. Sunsets were beautiful. The condo was perfect for us, had everything we needed! Great place to stay!

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.

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.

This was the perfect place for my family and I to relax and enjoy. Plenty to do and a great little restaurant right on location. Sidharth was awesome to communicate with and was very proactive.

The location of Jeanie's apartment is excellent. Down town Carmel by the sea has nice little boutique shops and lots of nice restaurants. It is a very cute town. We could walk down to Carmel beach. Apartment is small but private and quiet.
