Guesthouse vacation rentals in Monterey

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.

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.

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!

We spent almost 3 weeks in this cozy and charming apartment. The location is perfect for experiencing all that Santa Cruz has to offer and we walked to the beach, wharf, and Boardwalk daily. Many coffee shops and restaurants are blocks away. Mike was extremely responsive and friendly, but not intrusive at all. We hope to stay here again.

Had an absolutely lovely stay at Rezan’s place. She was the utmost in hospitableness and thoughtfulness The property is absolutely gorgeous, filled with birds and trees and flowers and the sound of frogs, statuary, walking paths, places to sit and enjoy the environment, a little pond with fountain, and just minutes to downtown Los Gatos. I had the best stay.

I had a short but great stay. I met Tom and had a couple of pleasant conversations. He has been around the area for a long time, and it was interesting to hear about it. I am now a fan of Carmel and will likely stay again.

This is our second time staying at Carla’s, we love the place and the location!

I spent two nights at Toni’s by myself. The aspects of importance to me were safety, privacy, cleanliness, private entrance and walkable to beach and local attractions. All were checked off. It was quiet and peaceful. I had everything I needed and Toni communicated quickly. Highly recommend!

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!

Amazing view and very quiet neighborhood. Very peaceful would definitely come back again!!

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.

Super cute place! Our kids loved the ducks and horses across the street. They couldn’t wait to explore! The house is very well stocked- games, kids toys, cookware, laundry soap… everything you can think of! We had a really great time, and it’s such a unique place to get to stay!

First off I want to publicly say Thank Betsey for everything!! Great location, easy freeway access. Very close to downtown for restaurants and entertainment. For extended stays it is the best!!

Excellent location, nice kitchen access and outdoor space. Felt like a high end/older folks vibe than a traditional hostel. Me and my 10 yo felt very welcomed. Had everything we needed to make our short stay in Santa Cruz fun. The online check in/key system was kind of a pain- my out of state cell service was crappy so even though I did pre-check in there was more online to do upon arrival- luckily the kind woman at check in helped me face to face - but something to keep in mind if you have bad service or aren’t super tech savvy. Also the beds weren’t super comfy. That said, I would definitely come back/stay longer.

We will be returning for sure. Kimberly and the space could not have been better for our needs. We've been touring colleges with our daughter and for our UCSC round we found the location to be utterly peaceful and quiet and exactly as described and clean as a whistle. It's one block from one of the prettiest beaches and has a ton of food/amenities located nearby. Kimberly was highly communicative and offered lots of useful suggestions both for restaurants and things to do while in the area. If our child ends up at UCSC we will be benefit from this space regularly. Thanks for the wonderful offering and help, Kimberly.

Beautiful views. Great location.

A very nice place! It's a separate cozy house with it's own small yard and you also get laundry for free. Communication with Carmen is very easy, she also responds very fast. I will definitely book it next time when I'm in Santa Cruz!

Our stay at Kyle’s was lovely and easy! It was a perfect home base for our adventures in the nearby state parks. The chickens are very cute, but if you’re a light sleeper looking for quiet, you may hear them in the morning. The eggs are amazing and such a wonderful addition to a comfortable stay. We had everything we needed and then some! Would definitely stay again during a trip to the Santa Cruz area.

We have a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Los Gatos. The view was absolutely breathtaking, offering a serene and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The area itself was gorgeous, surrounded by nature and quiet, making it the prefect spot to relax and unwind. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure everything was prefect during our stay. We highly recommend this peaceful retreat for anyone looking for a calm gateway in a beautiful setting.

Amazing stay! Location is unbeatable (I grew up in Santa Cruz so I know!) the house itself is immaculate with a lot of thoughtful touches from the hosts. Comfy beds, too! Wonderful patio for little ones to play as well. I’ll be back!

We had a truly wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The home was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing and peaceful visit. Dipti and her husband were exceptional hosts. They were warm, welcoming, respectful of our privacy and extremely responsive. If you’re looking for a clean, tranquil retreat in San Jose, I highly recommend this location.

I stayed at Zohar’s place after attending a show at Felton Music Hall. The location is surrounded by redwoods and feels remote but is an easy drive into downtown Felton. The studio was spacious and clean. Zohar was a responsive and friendly host. I would stay here again.

The space is accurately described. It is very private, a modestly sized one bedroom duplex with everything you need like washer dryer and full kitchen amenities. I liked that it was so close to the beach and restaurants too, we had Tramonti and it was great. If this is available during my next vacation I will definitely try to reserve it again
