Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
Stefan was very communicative and helpful! His place is great for larger families or groups. Plenty of parking. The view and beach to tide pool steps outside the house were amazing! Kitchen was so nice to have 2 sinks and space for everyone to come together. It felt large enough for privacy and we had plenty of space. Heaters were nice to have. Would love to return!

Quiet Beach Cottage in the heart of Capitola
Wonderful small home in Capitola. Was perfect for our family of four. The home feels very friendly with grandma artifacts around and there’s so much you can walk to from the house. A great home base for our 3 days exploring between Monterey and Santa Cruz. The host was detailed and friendly. Would love to visit again on our next trip to the area.

It's a beautiful home and location. I love the view from every window indoors. The beds are comfortable, too. We had a chance to enjoy the hot tub and sauna. I definitely recommend this place.

Beachy 2BR by the Boardwalk
This was our 2nd visit to Petra and David’s home. We enjoyed our stay so much that we came back to celebrate my dad’s birthday again! My dogs felt right at home when we entered. Such an easy check-in and check-out process. Great communication from the hosts! It’s a short walk to the dog friendly Seabright Beach. It’s an even shorter walk to the Boardwalk. Downtown is even walkable, but we chose to drive 5 minutes to get to restaurants and shops. The home was stocked with essentials. We’ll miss waking up to the Boardwalk view from the upstairs balcony. We hope to visit again soon!

Full Ocean View Cottage!HotTub+Bikes+Srfbrds+Kayak
Had a great stay here and wished that we had more than one night to enjoy all the thoughtful amenities & explore the area. I would definitely book again!

Ocean View House Few Steps from Miramar Beach
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. I loved hearing the waves at night. The house was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and I would stay here again. The property is beautiful and close to restaurants, shops, and great walking trails.

Newly remodeled 2 bd room House - Carmel 57
The place was very clean, comfortable and well located to do lots of fun stuff, near the village/ downtown and near a great walking / view area at Los lobos, as well as 17 mile drive.

Oceanfront beach house with private hot tub
Dania’s home was lovely! It was a wonderful place for a relaxing weekend away. It’s about a 15-20 minute drive into town from the home. The drive to and from town goes fast and is well worth the isolation and peace you get at the home. If you are a light sleeper you may want to bring an eye mask as the wonderful windows let in lots of wonderful natural light!

Seascape Ocean Front Villa
The condo was great. We had an issue with the master bathroom shower but Bjorn took care of it right away the same day that it was noticed. The location of this condo is perfect. Right on the ocean and within walking distance for dining, shopping, and several things to do on the ocean. Would recommend this condo to anyone.

House 33
We have been coming to Pajaro Dunes for 37 years. Our family loves it. This house needs some attending to. In one of the downstairs showers, the soap dish on the wall was broken. You need to be VERY VERY careful. My nephew cut his thumb and needed to get stitches. I was told I could check in before the rain started, but the office hadn't unlocked the house on their end. I had to drive back to the check in office and ended up getting wet while unpacking the car. Not the end of the world, but a little irritating. It took quite awhile to figure out the space heaters, some did not work. Kitchen pots and pans need updating - bring your own!! We had a great time and lots of great memories continue for our family.

La Selva Seaside Sanctuary
Amazing place, super great host, and so nice to be close to the ocean. Can’t wait to go back!

Relax Watch Waves Crash Chic + Modern 3BD
Loved this place very much! We enjoyed our wine and snacks and movies in the living room and 3 rd bed room which both have nice views and deck in front. Too bad the trip was short and will go back again!

4BR luxury home with amazing views, beach access
This was our third stay at Monterey Dunes and our first during winter. The home was very cozy and perfect for our family on four adults and two grandkids. Kitchen was well supplied and updated quality appliances. Beds were comfortable with great mattresses. Beach was just steps away although we we there during tide warnings so stayed close to the dunes. Great spot for relaxation, a very private beach, and home cooking. Not the best spot if you’re looking for fancy restaurants.

Large Seascape getaway with ocean view 1089
Outstanding location and great condo. Condo was just as advertised. It was clean and very comfortable. Cheshire Realty was easy to deal with.

Blessed Beach House 200 steps from the Ocean
Loved our stay and the proximity to the beach was the best. 5 min walk and beach was great. House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was great to cook in and bbq too. Highly recommend. Loved our time in Monterey exploring Pacific Grove and Carmel and pebble beach.

Panoramic Ocean Views - in Private Sanctuary
This is an extraordinary place. The house sits above the others on the ridge, so there are unobstructed views in every direction. The yard is a stunning mature garden with trees the owner played in as a child. The kitchen is enormous and there is so much living space! I never wanted to go out, but we were 10 minutes from both old growth redwoods AND beach walks! I can't recommend this place enough!

Beach Front Dream House! Hottub/E-Bikes/Surfboards
Evan's place was wonderful - the listing matched the photos, it was immaculate and close to many restaurants and to the beach. The home had everything we needed, and more! And you could tell a lot of love and effort went into the decor. Evan was very responsive - we had one small issue when my son's soccer ball accidently bumped the earthquake-aware gas line and shut the gas off (whoops!) and he was so proactive - he came over and tried to fix it, and even called the gas company and had them come out to us within the hour. We, of course, felt terrible, but he was so kind to us! The home is beautiful and worked great for our needs. We especially liked the ability to use the washer and dryer. It is on a busier street... but it was very close to amenities! We loved our stay at hour beautiful home!

Beautiful Beach House steps from the Beach
The house is absolutely amazing. It’s a short drive to restaurants and shops. The walk to the beach is only a couple of minutes. The ambiance of the house is warm and cozy. So many amenities were available including the indoor fireplace, the outdoor grill and fire pit, as well as bikes for the family. The outdoor space is perfect for dining. Even though it was a bit cold, the outdoor heater made it warm enough to stay outside at night. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming. Absolutely loved the house and we really hope to come again.

Ocean View River to Sea Beach House
We had an amazing trip with our daughters family! We all absolutely loved the house and the area, and can't wait to come back and stay again!!! Janet was more than willing to do anything to make our stay perfect! It was my 50th birthday and she even hung up Happy Birthday banner for me :-) Thank you, Janet for everything! We really enjoyed your home and can't wait to stay again!!!!!

Updated Westside home. 4 blocks from the beach!
This comfortable house worked great for two couples and our friends who dropped by for dinner. The location is wonderful - super quiet and an easy walk to the ocean, optionally through a beautiful park. Short drive to good markets and restaurants. We enjoyed the spacious hot tub and appreciated being able to bring our dog. It is more comfy and cozy than super glam, but that was perfect for us. Ian was a great communicator and shared some wonderful recommendations - don't miss La Hacienda Taqueria!

Serene luxury beach bungalow in Pleasure Point
Cute, clean & cozy cottage just a few houses from the ocean! We really enjoyed the hot tub and found that the backyard is remarkably private considering how close together the houses are in the neighborhood. There was easy walking access to E.Cliff Dr, restaurants, and coffee shops. We also enjoyed easy driving access to the redwood trees in Henry Cowell State Park and the touristy shops in Capitola. We would definitely stay here again!!

Romantic Ocean Views & Beach Access at Pelican 7!
First time staying at this area and it was very peaceful. The view from our room was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Megan was an awesome host and would definitely come and stay again.
