Beachfront vacation rentals in Rocky Mountains

This was our second trip to The Rocky Whale in the last six months. We love it here. For us, the location is incredible. We spend as much time on the beach possible and being able to cross the street to the dune path and be at the ocean in less than 5 minutes is incredible. Low-tide tide pools? Check. Entire groups of seals? Check. Eagles? Check. Milky Way on a clear night? Also check! We are grateful for the ability to bring our dogs and the big open space downstairs to be able to house their crates. The bed/bath/kitchen has always been clean and comfortable and when the storms come through being able to hang out in the big living space upstairs and keep ourselves entertained (tv… storm… games.. etc) has come in handy. The kitchen is well appointed. We eat in when we stay here and there is nothing we haven’t been able to handle (sometimes a little improvisation is needed!) We were never able to find the tv remote on our second trip… but there is an app for that.

Cute place and sorry walk to the beach. The place has personality and walkable to restaurants and shops!

Our family stayed for two nights and had a blast watching movies, playing games and walking on the beach. House has a beautiful view of the bay and the bridge. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked.

I cannot recommend this home enough! This was the first vacation my elderly grandma has taken since the pandemic and the view was so perfect for her since she could not walk the beach. She sat at the table, the place had everything we could have needed and we would be so happy to go back

This beach cottage was everything we wanted and didn’t know how much I needed. Being right on the beach was amazing, just opening the door for my pup to run around, having morning coffee on the bluff before my son woke up, taking a nap in the adorable upstairs room listening to the ocean. Beds were very comfy, kitchen is adorable and the hottub is very well serviced. Two things I’d do different. I’d plan better to have more food to cook at the house. I did not want to leave, and the nearest proper grocery is a drive. And I’d definitely take better coffee (although the drive thru down the road wasn’t bad and had amazing scones). We did not want to leave, luckily they were gracious enough to let us have a late checkout. Would 1000% stay here again. Thank you!

Carol was an amazing host, very responsive and offered early check-in! The home was super comfy and housed our 8 woman book club well. Really loved the quiet, the hot tub, and the short walk onto the beach. Would definitely stay again!!

A nice little get away as a family to enjoy the things we love - beach, water, and nature! Kirsten’s place offered all three and more! Cozy, comfortable, and clean! Enjoy every minute we were there!

Beautiful location and not too far from restaurants and groceries in the city. Very peaceful and comfortable.

Absolutely loved our stay at Seascape Beach Resorts! The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning ocean views and peaceful surroundings. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were super friendly and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape or a family vacation, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Our first time to the coast and we loved our stay! Great location, adorable home and neighborhood, and quick walk to the beautiful beach. Our kids spent hours in the tide pools then warmed up in the hot tub. The home fit our family comfortably and was a great place to stay!

Loved the view from the balcony and the ocean was directly outside the Airbnb. Host was very quick to respond and provided local recommendations for restaurants and gift shops.

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!

This place was nicer than the photos and absolutely perfect for a girls weekend. Everything was well equipped and labeled. The location was very quiet and peaceful with great access to a quiet beach. You definitely need a car as it's a little isolated but that added to the charm.

Great stay for a low-key gathering of friends which included a few young children. Spacious common area was great for everyone to be able to hangout together. Kitchen was well-equipped; we cooked a few meals. The neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful. Responsive and friendly host. Flexible checkout. Would stay again!

This is my second time to Monterey Dunes, first time in this unit. We liked that it had ample bedrooms and bathrooms to maximize comfort. Location is great for those who prefer a view and nature and it’s convenient between Monterey/Carmel area and Santa Cruz.

The house was perfect for our getaway. The kids enjoyed the backyard sandy area on the dune and the private dune trail was super cool, espeically for sunsets. We did think it had better beach access-didn't know the dune has a steep dropoff—but there is nearby public beach access which is easier to use. The separate entry for the downstairs was a bit tricky if you have small kids that want to bunk down there but we managed. Everyone had a great time. House was well cared for and the kitchen was stocked with many essentials and we really appreciated that they left condiments and other things in the fridge door. You don't often see that! 10/10 would book again.

We spent a fantastic weekend at Raymond's beautiful place with stunning views looking out on to the water. Raymond was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We would love to go back one day in the future!

This is now one of my favorite places on the planet. I feel so lucky that we got to spend time here. I can't wait to come back! The view is beyond amazing! The house is impeccable. Amenities are abundant. Everything you need is there. The kitchen had every dish, pan, and utensil you could need, along with staples so you don't have to get basics from the store like salt and cooking oil. Everything feels thoughtful and comforting. ❤️ We loved kayaking and watching salmon jump out of the water and seals pop their heads up to say hi! It's very close to hundreds of great hikes and parks, but only if you can tear yourself away from the soft beds and idyllic beauty. It is truly a gorgeous place, a spot of peace in an often-chaotic world.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Anchor Down Inn. The home exceeded expectations, such beautiful views and a comfy, clean and spacious home. The balloons, cake, and flowers for a birthday were such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. We were greeted with a friendly note, wine, and snacks. The hot tub was wonderful and the surprise visit of Seals our first morning was incredible. Rachel was very responsive and helpful if I had any questions, and even let us check in early the day of our arrival. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a private getaway. We will definitely be back!

Stayed at this house with a few friends for the weekend and had such a lovely time. Serene views of the passage from a heated deck and hot tub, and spacious living quarters for everyone to have separate sleeping quarters.

We liked the condo and location very much. Very peaceful, quiet and private, the unit is well maintained, and everything we used worked. Kitchen was great, we used it for breakfast everyday. Hardly anyone walking the beach during our stay, and it was relaxing watching the tide come in and out, with the lights from Canada at the distance. A place to stay if you're after a quiet, relaxing vacation. The restaurant at the nearby resort is a very short walk away, and pretty good even with the short menu, as their main kitchen is closed for renovation.

Great location near Jedediah Smith and Prairie Creek State Parks. Amazing ocean views. Fit our family's needs.

Incredibly beautiful spot with a great deck and access to the beach. DJ and Karen are very responsive and friendly to work with. Would love to come back. Can’t beat the view on a sunny day!

Another incredible stay! You can't beat the location, with near instantaneous access to the beach. The house is cozy and comforting, providing all of the amenities from morning coffee before a beautiful beach walk to family dinner with the sunset over the ocean as the backdrop. This year we were fortunate to be able to vacation with our adult child and their partner and the guest house made for an excellent experience. While the main house had plenty of space for everyone to relax and socialize, it was nice to have separate spaces to wind down in. We definitely enjoyed this second stay as much as, if not more than, our first stay. We hope to be able to enjoy the Loft of Riley again in the future.
