Vacation rentals with a patio in Carmel Valley

Matthew was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The space itself was very clean and in a peaceful location, with some great hiking trails nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

I felt right at home. It was nice to get away for my daughter’s graduation from UCSC. The drive to the graduation wasn’t bad at all. I loved being near the water and was able to walk to the cliff side for a beautiful sunset view. I’ll definitely stay here again.

I would recommend this place to my friends and family if you are looking to stay in a very cute beach town! You are smack dab in the middle of it all at capitola here. They have surf boards and a boogie board for you to use, we used the surf boards (I rented my wetsuit from ONeill for $10! Don't do the one that's accross the street for 36 if you're strapped for money and have a car just go to oniell!) The apartment was perfect and it comes with a cute backstory about the mom that bought the place many moons ago. The apartment also came with bikes but we love walking so much so we never used them! The beds we SO comfy too!

Fantastic apartment. It is roomy and airy. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Our host thoughtfully provided coffee, creamer and water so we didn’t have to worry about our first morning. Location is at the center of Carmel. We parked our car and didn’t get in it for three days. There is a great bakery and also a market a block or two away. Our host was responsive to questions. We plan to stay again next time we visit this magical town.

Cute and clean in-law apartment located in a quaint and quiet neighborhood with walking distance to local hot spots. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. She responded quickly when questions arose. I would recommend this place for a great stay in Santa Cruz!

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

Great location - the unit is a timeshare in a nice resort near the beach. Very tidy, uncluttered and well appointed. Would definitely stay again.

As mentioned by others, the place is super comfortable, has a lot of amenities and is super close to the boardwalk and the downtown area. However, what really stood out to us was the host’s hospitality. They were super accommodating when we mentioned we’d be getting to Santa Cruz a little early and if we could use the bikes to go cruise around in the meantime. We only stayed for one night, but were able to enjoy a full day of fun because of that. We rode to Brommer park, played pickleball, went back to check in, headed out to eat, walked around and then went back to enjoy the spa and ping pong table. The whole house was spacious and the beds were super comfortable. Definitely recommend David’s place.

This house is awesome for family adventures. It had every possible amenity for a vacation getaway you could need. The house was spotless upon our arrival and well-organized, with a detailed list of items available to ensure you had a great time. The Pacific Ocean is viewable from the second floor porch which seated six comfortably around the propane fire pit. There were many toys available for families traveling with children. Our toddler granddaughter really enjoyed playing with the many toys. The kitchen was well stocked with modern appliances. The location was just a few minutes' drive to downtown Monterey and Fisherman's Wharf. We absolutely recommend this Airbnb house in the Monterey area. Our host Meli was awesome. She communicated with us from the time we made the reservation until we left. Her instructions for the house were clear and concise. We contacted her twice while we were there and she responded to our questions within minutes. Meli is a top-notch host.

Amazing views and a peaceful location—waking up to the ocean and wildlife was unforgettable. This was our hub for exploring Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur. A short 30-40 minute drive to Big Sur for hikes, and just 10 mins to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea for great dinners. There’s also a handy general store at the bottom of the hill. A couple of notes: This is one of 4 units on the property. While listed as “entire home,” there’s a unit attached at the rear with a door that opens directly into your space through a hallway (for my wife’s peace of mind, we kept our bedroom door locked at night). Another unit is above, and one more is detached in front. That said, everyone keeps to themselves, and interaction is minimal besides maneuvering past their parked cars in the driveway. Also, screenshot the address and key code—cell service drops near the hill and the turnoff into the property is easy to miss in the dark the first time around. Thanks for hosting us, Emily & Mason! We loved it.

My group and I were in town for a wedding in Monterey. It was a short drive to Monterey proper. The home is private, tucked away in a neighborhood. Main Street has close by grocery stores, fast food etc. BJs home was clean, welcoming and had many beds to accommodate our group. We were welcomed with beverages and snacks and provided with clear instructions for check out as well as local recommendations. BJ was communication was clear, responsive and it’s evident he is an experienced host. I would recommend his home to travelers visiting from out of town.

Wonderful home with cozy, warm, and elegant vibes. Everything felt very high quality and we appreciated the attention to detail as well as the beautiful landscaping perfect for relaxing while traveling! Carmel Coast estate and Marco were amazing! Super friendly and easy communication, making the whole process smooth for us. The neighborhood is conveniently close to the 17 mile drive, Pebble Beach, Carmel by the Sea, and Monterey. Would definitely want to visit again. Thanks again for an amazing experience!

Our family stayed here for our vacation and had a wonderful time. All of the details were thought through from sand toys for the kids to use at the beach to some coloring books for them at check in. The house was perfect for our family - very clean, comfortable and perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed walking down to the ocean every day to watch the fun wildlife and dip our toes in the water. We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot with everything you need. Perfect downtown location - walking distance to the beach as well as all the best restaurants in Carmel. The house was clean and cozy. Great for a couples or family trip alike.

I couldn't be more happy about this place. The location was great for the four of us for our three-day stay. And Carolyn seems to have thought about everything anyone might like to have or use during a stay. The nice laundry room in the detached garage was a nice surprise to someone who doesn't read the details enough ahead of time. The place was very clean and quality furnished. The house is set back from the street with lots of trees and shrubs, and while there are neighbors, I guess the lots are big, making the place feel very private, while at the same time being close to places to shop up and down the street.

Lovely condo and great host! Enjoyed the updated bathrooms, kitchen, and cute decor. Loved the views. Complex was full- some couples and some families with kiddos. It could get a bit noisy at times. (Mostly when kids were outside playing) We travel with ear plugs so it wasn’t really a problem. Beds were on the firm side. We would enjoy staying here again!

I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. You can really tell they care about their guests and take pride in providing a great experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay. Thank you for everything!

Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

Stayed with my husband and parents here for our wedding week that was happening in the area. The place was plenty spacious for 4 people! Much better than a hotel room would’ve been. Gave us quality time cooking in the kitchen and hanging out in the living room, enjoying the hottub & heated pool and the beach! The ocean view from the dining table and the front porch is STUNNING!! The place is nice, well kept, and has everything you need! Any small things that popped up, Patti was helpful and fixed right away! Would definitely stay here again!!

We had a wonderful stay. It is a beautifully designed space that had everything we needed to relax, cook nice meals, sleep well and enjoy the beach which was a minutes walk away. It allowed us to really relax and enjoy our time there- only three days but felt like we were at home! Highly recommend

This place was perfect! Views as promised!! Clean, smartly decorated, special touches like a makeup mirror, toilet area separate from the sink, shower, comfortable bed and soft linens, throw blankets for comfort, 2 huge TVs , Nice restaurants within walking distance, pool, beach, trails, observation platform…. We totally loved it here! Would highly recommend and would go again if the opportunity arises. Unfortunately we had to leave early…. I’m still sad about that! But no fault of theirs! Owners were very responsive, helpful and positive.

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

The location of the condo was superb. The few minute walk to the beach was so convenient and the view was breathtaking. Everything was clean inside and the parking garage was directly around the corner. I would come here again.
