Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Carmel Valley

We had a great stay. The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and had practically everything we needed. It was the perfect home base for driving out to Monterey and Carmel, and there were some great spots nearby for coffee and food. Very spacious for a big family if that's your plan, or for a small group too. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

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!

Nicer than the pictures. No complaints. Good value and nice home.

Beautiful roomy home. Beautiful view. Comfy beds and clean.

Beautiful home, well appointed, wonderful amenities, extremely comfortable. Comfy bed. Very clean. Bobby and Kristen were excellent hosts.

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.

everything was as described, Victor was great at communicating and checking to make sure all our needs were met. the space was amazing for 5 of us, with room for more. very clean and neat. would highly recommend!

Parisa was a great host. The house was exactly what we were looking for - great location, reasonable price, a short drive to the aquarium and wherever else we wanted to go. Recommend it!

I couldn't be happier with our stay at Michele’s Le Bijou at Toujours Maison! We booked it after reading the great Airbnb reviews and am so glad we found it. I wanted to stay at a cute and nice place in Carmel, and had some difficulty finding a place that fit our needs. WE LOVED Michele’s place, and can see why it gets so many compliments! Our stay was a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and he also loved it just as much as I did. More than anything, the hospitality was outstanding - every detail of the experience felt thoughtful and personalized. From the heated towel rack and heated floors to the cozy board games and beautiful design touches, everything felt curated to made our stay feel extra special. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Carmel from a great host who makes the whole experience feel effortless and so worth it!

This apartment was exactly as listed! Beautiful view with small porch that had a small table perfect for a romantic dinner. Surrounding area has a lot of food options and a local saloon downstairs. Walking distance to the mission. Cara was very responsive when it came to asking any questions. I would definitely recommend this location. 10/10 stay!

Great place. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to take a family vacation to America's best little small town, Pacific Grove. Would absolutely stay there again.

We had a great time staying here. We had some trouble getting in the gate because even though Maria messaged me what the gate code was I kept thinking and looking back at their old gate code in the listing. Luckily we got it sorted out but it was a lil confusing at first. We also weren’t quite sure which way was ok to drive to the place. Like drive behind their house or cut right in front of their house to get to the place, there weren’t any instructions so we did both lol. We were also a lil bummed that there was no outside seating like shown in the pictures. We drove around their house a couple times trynna make sure we were at the right building because we were looking for the outside furniture for us to know we were at the right place. Once again we figured it out. It was overall a beautiful surrounding at the house and so many flowers. We had a great time and would stay again. I would recommend Maria’s place for sure so peaceful and quiet it was very very nice. Thank you Maria

Susanne’s place was beautiful. Quiet and peaceful. She was also very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed! We would definitely stay 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!

Our stay at this luxury Airbnb in Carmel was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by the impeccable design, high-end finishes, and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The home is beautifully furnished, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the living spaces inviting, and the attention to detail throughout was truly exceptional. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by some of the best shopping, dining, and entertainment Carmel has to offer. We loved strolling through the charming streets, discovering boutique shops, art galleries, and fantastic restaurants, all just minutes from our doorstep. The hosts were attentive and made sure our stay was seamless. Whether we were enjoying a cozy evening at home or exploring the vibrant neighborhood, every moment was a delight.

We spent several nights in David’s condo, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I had kind and timely communication with David even before our arrival, and the condo itself was just perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice, it is in a very peaceful, private area and closer to the water than expected. Breathing the ocean air and the sound of waves is so healing. I watched humpback whales breach and dolphins feeding, it was very pleasant to have pelicans flying right past as well. The sunsets were beautiful and it was such excellent viewing at any time of day with 2 deck levels to choose from. You can view the coast from Santa Cruz all the way down to Monterey! The condo is tastefully decorated and spacious, and the beds were extremely comfortable with cozy quilts and pillows. There are comfy throws for your lap and many other homey touches. The condo has so many dishes and pots and pans it’s easy to cook a meal. I can’t wait to stay there again. Thank you David!

this was a wonderful place, amazing views and very peaceful relaxing bday trip would love to come back

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.

If you are looking for a place to rest, relax and reset your mind this is the place for you. Pajaro Dunes is a wonderful location to walk along the beach just steps away from the condo. It’s very peaceful and the resort grounds are clean. Soojin is a wonderful host and her condo was more than we could have asked for. Very clean, modern decor and the amenities provided were very well thought of especially in the kitchen and in the bathrooms. Beach amenities were provided as well. We hope to return and bring our family and friends to join us next time around.

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 was our second stay at Seascape. It's a beautiful, relaxing property. The unit is comfortable and very well-appointed. Even the sofa bed and wall bed are really comfy. The view is lovely. The location of this unit makes it pretty easy to get belongings to and from the parking lot. Owners are friendly and professional, with great communication.

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.

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).
