Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Carmel Valley

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!

Such a great location! Very peaceful and quiet spot. House was very comfortable and great for a group. Parking in the village is always a challenge but was made easier because the host outlined several options in pre-arrival messages and in an onsite binder.

We had a wonderful stay at Ali’s home. They were very responsive to all questions and requests. The location was perfect, very walkable to downtown and also the boardwalk, but private and peaceful at the same time. A perfect spot to explore and enjoy Santa Cruz!

April is beautiful in Carmel, and this house greets you with the most amazing landscaping. The backyard is private and delightful with the hot tub, fire pit and outdoor dining. The view across Carmel Valley is expansive.

I LOVED this place. It was so beautiful on the inside and out. Each room was so spacious and organized. Also, the walk from the house to the beach was doable and super convenient.

Lovely stay! Marleen was responsive and thoughtful. The home was clean, comfortable, and just as described. The backyard was an oasis for our toddler! Super cute and quiet neighborhood. Wish we could have stayed longer—would definitely come back!

We loved every moment spent in this house ,especially the cats , the house was very comfortable, clean and cozy, I would definitely recommend this house .

My family and I were happy to find this gem of a place! The home was very clean and welcoming. Close to beach access and shops down 41st. Ronnie’s home is set up thoughtfully for beach goers (Bikes, chairs, boogie boards). The weather was a little chilly so we didn’t really take advantage of the backyard set up, but it was so gorgeous and peaceful. Another thing I appreciate was ease of check in and clear instructions and rules provided. I look forward to returning!

Hi there. I made this booking for my boss. She said Angel's place was 10/10 :)

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!

Amazing apartment! Just a quick drive to downtown Monterey! The kitchen was very well stocked. We loved the projector and Pac-man machine! Very nice touches!

What an incredible place! Krista was very helpful and quick to respond. The place was so comfortable and restful! We will be back!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s beautiful oceanfront home! The views from the patio, and living room were absolutely stunning—we even spotted seal pups right from the patio. The location is perfect: easy walking distance to the aquarium, Cannery Row, the beach, and a scenic walking/bike path. The home was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—laundry soap, extra towels, high-quality bedding, and comfortable, homey furniture. Jane made the check-in process seamless with clear instructions and even left us a list of local recommendations and binoculars to enjoy the views. Although Jane lives upstairs, the unit feels very private. She was responsive and welcoming, while giving us plenty of space. This was one of the most comfortable and well-prepared rentals we’ve stayed in. Highly recommend!

Cozy cottage indeed. We enjoyed our stay at Saddle Mountain. Facility was nice and felt like an upscale camping experience. Hosts were kind and welcoming.

Perfect place

The cabin was so pretty. They even have their own trail which was awesome. The sauna was a cool experience. Overall I would 100% go back!

Cute glamping site with plenty of things to do! We stayed in the cabin with our family of 5 plus our dog. It was clean, had everything that we needed, and was close enough to town and the wineries.

My family of 5 had a wonderful time this past week for spring break! Our three boys (ages 9, 5, and 3) loved sleeping in the loft. They also enjoyed playing ping pong by the pool, and the playground. This was a comfy, cozy getaway, and perfect 'home base' as we explored nearby Big Sur and Monterey. We hope to return! Thank you!

My girls and I loved it there! They loved how the loft area was just their size and we enjoyed hanging out at the playground and fire pit.

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

Colette and the place or incredible. The amenities were the best ever seen from any previous Airbnb that I’ve ever stayed at. Everything was high-quality and pristine. The surroundings or magnificent and beautiful. Colette was extremely helpful and proactive and gave very detailed instructions that were easy to follow and she was helpful and pleasant to talk to. Would highly recommend staying there and would stay there again.
