Cozy Santa Cruz Garden Cottage
We really enjoyed this cottage and loved how close it was to restaurants and shopping. The whole place was clean and quiet. We would definitely stay here again!

Carmel Special. Private Cottage in Carmel
We loved our stay. The location was private, safe and serene, with stargazing and birdwatching from the large deck. It was a 30 minute walk into downtown Carmel which was very convenient, as it’s difficult to park in town. Faris was very responsive, allowing early check in and checking in with us several times to make sure we were happy with the unit. The rooms were clean and cozy and we felt right at home.

Sparkling Clean Private Sunny Beach-Hike-Golf-Bike
The place was clean, great for a quick stay. Only hiccups were when I failed to read the instructions 😅. Host helped out when I did get lost. Lovely area

Charming Light-Filled Carriage House Apartment
Cute guesthouse, total privacy, great location in Santa Cruz. Sarah sent clear instructions and we had no problem finding extra towels, coffee, etc. There’s even a little s’mores kit included to utilize the fire pit—which we unfortunately didn’t have time to use. Street parking was easy to find and we could walk to the pier or SC downtown. Very much recommend and would stay again.

The Nestle Inn Carmel
We had an amazing time! Phillip was the best host, and reached out ahead of time to help make our arrival smooth and uncomplicated. The little cottage was so perfect for our weekend and was the best location to explore Big Sur, Carmel, and Monterey areas. We would totally come back again!

Hidden Gem by the Sea
I loved staying at Michael and Mary's place. The location was perfect, quiet and central at the same time, and I enjoyed a short walk every morning to get my coffee. I stayed for a week and the place was impeccably clean and had all the things one might need for cooking. I loved it! Highly recommended!

Carmel Rustic Cabin Like a Treehouse + Dog
Tom’s cabin was private, charming, and peaceful. The location can’t be beaten! Thank you for hosting us, Tom. We loved all of the plants!

Garden Beach Cottage
Fantastic place, excellent in every regard. I would give more stars if I could. The apartment is like a mini home, complete with a fireplace, super comfy bed, really nice shower, and very close to the beach. I would highly recommend staying here. It’s also very close to everything. 10/10

Brand New 1 Bedroom 3 Beds
Chi-Ping's place was exactly as described and just like the photos. The place feels newly renovated and everything was squeaky clean, which I really appreciated. Chi-Ping was very proactive in her communication and reached out more than a week in advance to provide the check-in instructions. The snack basket was a nice touch, which my kids appreciated after a long drive. I highly recommend this place if you're planning to visit the Carmel/Monterey area.

Remodeled Cozy Retreat near Downtown Salinas!
Second time of stay. Would love to come back in the future!

Cozy Coastal Redwood Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful warm cozy cabin. Tera was such a friendly host and made us feel welcomed. The amenities were perfect & the cabin had a well equipped kitchen. It was so cozy & private and such a good mental getaway. Beautiful views in every window, such a beauty to wake up to! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back! <3

Orchard Cottage in convenient countryside location
Beautiful secluded area up in the hills. Very peaceful and quiet. Laurel is a very nice host! Lots of dishes to cook a meal, comfy bed. Lots of blankets and pillows. Lots of books and games for the kids. Lots of windows to enjoy the nature. But it was very cold and drafty. It’s an old structure and probably not very well insulated. Floor was very cold even in wool socks. Each room has a wall heater but it had to be set higher than we usually have to feel comfortable. There are lots of blankets. Small bathroom with a super tight shower, also was very cold.

Adorable renovated guest cottage near downtown
It’s like a Cape Cod bungalow. Cozy and comfortable. Located in a great neighborhood, walkable to downtown Morgan Hill, this newly renovated cottage is well appointed and immaculately maintained. Our host, Betsey, is very kind and accommodating. She is accessible when needed, but is not intrusive to her guests. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough but hesitate to do so in hopes of keeping it all to ourselves. You will not be disappointed with both the cottage and its amazing host, Betsey

Natural Bridges Beachside Retreat w/ Views
The place was great. It has a near-perfect layout and is newly remodeled.

Pool House Fun
My boyfriend and I stayed at Konni’s place for a weekend getaway from the city. The place was beautiful and clean. We had a small issue with the bathroom, but Konni and her husband immediately took care of it. They were genuinely concerned about making sure we could enjoy the place 100%. We highly recommend this Airbnb—not only for what it offers but also because the hosts are truly committed to ensuring you have a pleasant stay.

Poolside Wine Country Retreat
Quick visit but Makayla and Bofelo's place was perfect! Very peaceful and quiet. Beautiful surroundings. Everything was clean and set up perfectly. I sat on the porch at night with a cup of tea and looked at the stars. Watched a movie through my Netflix account and made my own meals in the fully stocked kitchen. I just texted them through the Air bnb app if I had any questions and they always answered in a timely manner. Never actually met them but as I said, it was a quick visit for me.I did wave and mouth good morning to Bofelo on my way out the first morning and said goodbye to the horses out my window on the way out my last day. The Bed was extremely comfortable and I slept very well there. Would recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful place to lay their head and relax. I thought their pricing was really good too compared to other properties I checked out.

The Petit Retreat entire private guesthouse
LOVED staying at Le Petite Retreat! Louise was very responsive and a gracious host. Perfect place to stay over the holidays and close to all the area attractions. The washer and dryer were handy to have and the view was spectacular. I plan to book again in the near future when I come to visit family. Thank you Louise!

Hilltop Carmel Valley Cottage With Stunning Views
Beautiful views. Great location.

The Hen House Haven
Quiet, comfortable and well equipped studio. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into designing this space. Kyle and Rachel are wonderful hosts. The hens in the yard were entertaining. We would stay again whenever we find ourselves in the area.

The Point Cottage
A fabulous little cottage in an amazing location. Our family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) felt very comfortable at the cottage and enjoyed the location. The place was spotless and well appointed. Super friendly and responsive hosts.

Studio with redwoods in backyard, infrared sauna
A great location, easy check in, and very enjoyable stay!

Cozy 1-Bedroom duplex in Seabright
The location was ideal, close to an incredible beach and a lot of great walks! Plus, delicious coffee right around the corner and so many fun activities in the neighborhood. The place was cozy and provided everything we needed for a great stay!

Short walk to the Lodge at Pebble Beach
Beautiful property, very dog friendly, location was unbelievable. House was stocked with everything you need, snacks, drinks, food, etc... Highly recommend this place

Cozy Seaside Cottage
This was a cute, cozy little cottage, perfect for a couple! The heater worked well on cold nights. The kitchen made us feel at home and had everything we needed, and then some! The shower was hot and had great pressure. We would happily stay here a 2nd time if we ever decided to visit the Monterey area again.
