Beach apartment holiday rentals in Carmel-by-the-Sea

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.

This was a great spot for our family! Super clean, great amenities and views! Highly recommend!

Nice and clean airbnb. It was an amazing stay by the beach. Highly recommend.

This resort is somewhere to go to get awayrom the chaos of city life and just walk along a beach and sit and contemplate life.

We have been renting Airbnb properties in Capitola for years. This unit was by far my favorite. Absolutely everything was perfect. The place was immaculate and so well outfitted. I hope to come many many more times!

LOVED our stay here!! The house was very clean and cozy, and we loved how open the living room/dining room were. The location is amazing; beach access, and an easy drive to both Monterey and Carmel! Would absolutely recommend!!

We had a great stay here. The area is so beautiful and very private. The proximity to the ocean is great. The trail to the beach is so nice and doesn't take very long. The grounds of the resort are beautiful. Very clean unit and comfortable bed. The grocery store in the village shops is awesome and the staff are very friendly. The resort staff were very friendly as well. The only issue and it's not a deal breaker but there was this loud exhaust fan like noise coming from the roof above the restaurant on Friday night from about 8 pm to 2 am and it was hard to hear the ocean waves. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Communicative host. Quiet, peaceful and picturesque. Bed was super comfy, and the place was clean. Location is a bit off the beaten path, but we had no problem with the 10 min drive into town. Great central location to explore the cost. Ventured from Santa Cruz to Big Sur over three days. Would return!

We wanted a place between Santa Cruz and Monterey for our vacation, and we were pleasantly surprised by the beauty and seclusion of the property. Soojin was super responsive to any and all questions, and the place was perfectly clean- and had an amazing view. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful place on the beach and a great host!

Oh, the views!!! I rented the space for family from out of town. They were over the moon. The location ‘right on the sand’ was incredible! That’s what you’re paying for. The home itself could be amazing with a few updates. A beach property will never feel clean with carpet. Just that simple change would make the home feel updated and bring more value. There is no light on the balcony, so bring a lantern if you enjoy sitting outside after sunset. Furnishings are dated but comfortable. Overall, the week with my family so close was the best thing I could ask for.

We had an amazing stay at Ahnalisa’s beautiful home in Monterey! The place was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning — waking up to them every morning was a treat. It’s also in a perfect location: peaceful, yet just a short and easy walk to everything we wanted to explore. Ahnalisa was a wonderful host and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Monterey!

This was our second time staying in the mermaid’s perch. We love it so much I hope we will be able to stay again! The place had everything we needed, so comfortable and welcoming and amazing view of the beach.

This place was perfect for our family get together! It was clean and right on the beach! Well worth what we paid and I would def go back. Everyone was super helpful and we got right in with no problems! All in all it was beautiful, everyone we talked to was friendly!!

Our family loved this spot. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and the ocean views and fireplace made it a very cozy stay.

I will echo on so many other reviews that were left for this Aptos property. The condo itself was beautiful, spacious for 4 adults and 2 little kids. There was easy access to the beach (5 minutes through a paved path) as well as access to different pools and a restaurant. Even with a great property, I’m also giving this a 5-star review because Annie was great to communicate with. She offered wonderful recommendations during our stay, and any minor issue we had, she offered a fix for very quickly. She genuinely made our stay worth every penny spent at this location. The added amenities that she provided were definitely a great bonus!

Beautiful, spacious home. Very clean and well equipped. Lots of parking with easy access to the second floor condo. Carts to haul luggage and groceries was a real plus. Kitchen had everything needed to cook and eat in. Easy access to a wonderful walking beach. Seating was comfortable and conducive to long conversations. There were many interesting local attractions. While the property listing states a capacity for 10 people, sleeping space for adults is 6 - 7: king and queen beds for 4 people; the 2 lower bunk beds for SMALL adults and one person on the unopened couch. The couch bed was uncomfortable when opened. Unfortunately, one of our group fell when trying to come down from the top bunk. Our host Jay was very available and supportive both before & during our stay.

Joanne and Nicole’s apartment was very spacious, and both David and I had more than enough room to relax and enjoy our time. The home theater was such a special treat, and we really appreciated the helpful information they provided about nearby restaurants. On top of that, they generously left snacks and even pasta sauce for us, which made us feel very welcomed. The outdoor hot tub was warm, clean, and incredibly cozy, making our stay even more relaxing. The instructions they gave were very clear and easy to follow, which helped everything go smoothly from the moment we arrived. They also placed a very easy-to-understand guidebook inside the apartment, so we could quickly find anything we needed without any confusion. Thanks to their thoughtful setup and care, we were able to fully relax and enjoy a slow and peaceful two-night, three-day stay.

407 Seascape is the best unit I’ve stayed at at seascape resort. The view was awesome and the interior of the unit was beautiful. It was squeaky clean and looked like it had recently been remodeled. David was a great host and was very responsive. All the small details made us feel right at home. I will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful weekend at this lovely home! The house was very clean and well-maintained, and it’s located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that made for a relaxing stay. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was super convenient. One of the highlights was the amazing view of the ocean right from the house absolutely stunning. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

Tess was a great host! Went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay! Love the location.

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.

We had a wonderful trip and can’t wait to come back.

Amazing service, we can’t wait to go back

This was the first air bnb i’ve ever stayed and it was great. the view was beyond beautiful. There was so many things offered to us like boogie boards, board games, and other family fun. Definitely recommend staying here. It’s so peaceful, you can hear the waves crashing from the ocean while sitting on the couch. I will definitely be returning!!
