Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Monterey Bay

My husband and I met my son , his wife and our two grandchildren at Meli’s place. The house is lovely. It’s very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The views from the porch and great room were gorgeous. The grandchildren loved the playground right across the street. Meli’s book with things to do, restaurants , directions was so helpful. The location is perfect for exploring Monterey, Carmel and even Santa Cruz. Meli was very responsive and easy to work with. We highly recommend staying at her spot!

We stayed here for several months and enjoyed the peaceful home & neighborhood. The house is welcoming and beautifully-decorated with a beach theme. Janiece was a friendly, responsive host. And, the hosts thought of everything for a vacation or longer stay (including a blender and plenty of cookware). The beds were super comfortable. There was plenty of storage space. We spent a lot of time on the outdoor deck, which is perfect for relaxing and for time with friends and family. The location is superb: close to stores, local restaurants, a gym, parks, and the beach. We work remotely and fast Internet is important for us - the house included this, too. We recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful stay close to amenities!

If your looking for a rural peaceful place with beautiful views , piece full surroundings with all the amenities this is the spot. We had a great time!

We had a lovely stay at Pam’s place. The house is beautifully decorated, has all the amenities you could want and is well maintained.

House was large enough for our party who was celebrating the lives of our deceased parents. Appreciated the cleanliness. Fire pit was nice, we used it each night. The beds were very comfy, I wanna know what they were so I can get my own! Centrally located to the Monterey area, as well as necessities nearby (e.g., grocery stores, pharmacy, coffee shops, etc). We had a great time. Would def stay here again:) thanks victor!

We had a lovely stay here. The game room was an amazing touch and the location was very convenient for us. Jack and Kathleen went above and beyond helping us as well when we left some items behind. Highly recommend this to anyone!

Vic was a wonderful host. We would recommend this location to anyone looking for a quiet safe place to stay while visiting.

We had a great two-night stay at this very clean and cute cottage. Good location and easy parking in the driveway.

The pictures definitely don't do the view justice! It's a beautiful property and such a cute space. We loved it so much we stayed in pretty much the whole weekend. A much needed relaxing getaway! Would highly recommend.

Clean and organized. Had everything I needed to cook which is very important to me. Will stay again next time I’m in town.

It’s a nice place. Looks newly renovated. Nice shoe storage, patio with furniture to sit. Pool view. Laura has stocked most of the things needed. Spices, enough dishwasher pods, laundry detergen etc.. Pots and pans looked little old. Check-in is very easy and the auto lock works really well. One assigned car parking was given. Not easy to get a parking spot on street. A nice stay overall. Felt like home..

I chose this stay for my annual lady trip. We frequent the Aptos/Capitola/Santa Cruz area a lot for friends and family and chose this area for the beach/village convenience. Parking was great, I personally loved driving my truck up the small hill. Cameras were excellent for ensuring our safety! Easy to get in and easy access to both the parking/backyard and the village/beach via the small stairs. This place was loaded with amenities and was easy to use them. Loved the little radio for breakfast and clean up! The comforter on the king bed was out of this world comfy. The board games and photography books were a hit when hanging back at the airbnb for midday nights and late night chats with my girlies. Water pressure and heat was fantastic. Futons, king bed, space heater, and fireplace made for very cozy nights/early mornings. The large windows were great for views! Jaime was a great host, my group mentioned her communication and responsiveness was on point!

Perfect for our anniversary weekend! The place was very spacious and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Everything was clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully set up. The images helped locate the parking. As long as you know what the exterior of the building looks like then you’ll easily locate the parking area behind. The parking entrance was narrow but wasn’t difficult to maneuver. Overall, a great experience and would definitely visit again!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

The place was great! Both bedrooms were a good size and had closets and dressers to put clothes away. The entire space was really clean and felt comfortable. The property has heated pools, a playground, walking paths and beach access. It was great for us and our two young kids!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated that it is independently owned, including the community activism to give back. The location was great, we were able to walk to the beach for dinner; and a short drive to the college and other areas.

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

A lovely, cozy escape in the redwoods! We absolutely loved the outdoor fire pit area – perfect for evenings under the trees. The master bedroom was also fantastic and very comfortable. A great stay overall!

Rachel’s place was truely amazing. Felt like a fairy tale in the woods. Very close to SF with proximity to nice restaurants in San Jose or to the beach in Santa Cruz. Was one of my favorite airBnB to date.

Great glamping weekend, beautiful surroundings, would recommend for anyone who’s looking to escape the city.

Wonderful stay at an enchanting cabin in the redwoods. It's close to the town of Boulder Creek and a very comfortable stay. We will definitely be coming back.

As our first stay ever in an airbnb, this was the best place for a get away ❤️ Surrounded by nature in a beautiful home. All as pictured and described. We will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family.

We had a fantastic stay at Whiskey Hollow! The A-frame is such a neat place, and we loved the loft and the big windows that brighten the whole place. Everything was perfectly clean, from the linens to the surfaces. Jamie and Paige were super friendly and helpful in their communication. We would love to come back!

Kris was extremely helpful throughout the whole stay. The studio and the property are extremely gorgeous. And don't even get me started on the dogs. They are lovely
