Apartment vacation rentals in Monterey Bay

Loved our stay at this little apartment near the sea! The apartment was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with towels, linens, and other amenities in case we forgot something. The washer and dryer were helpful after a long day at Refuge in Carmel (we took a dip in all the thermal pools). Kevin was so lovely and checked in on us and offered great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

The top 3 things that really stood out was feeling, smelling and hearing the ocean and the air was right at the front door. Park your car and forget about it—- it’s a walk to anywhere you need location. The amount of food, play and bevy choices within a few blocks was 100% stellar. It’s an unplug and enjoy the slow beach place sanctuary. There’s no tv or high maintenance appliances to worry about. It’s peaceful, simple and refreshing.

We loved our weekend at Jamie's amazing apartment in Capitola! It was so easy to walk to the beach and we loved hanging out in the beautiful backyard with our little one. Perfect spot for our little family's getaway to the beach!

Cute and peaceful place to stay for our weekend trip in Santa Cruz. Kimber and Mike were extremely communicative and informative. 10/10 would recommend!

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

Surf City - Capitola GEM, cozy little spot with all the creature co.forts of home. This property is like a Swiss Army Knife, every appliance and utensils you'd ever need for a comfortable stay. Love this place, clean, great furnishings for a quick getaway. Will definitely be back.

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!

We had an amazing stay at Mary’s Airbnb! From the start, her communication was outstanding—fast, clear, and always helpful. She provided excellent service, going above and beyond to make our trip comfortable and stress-free. The home was spotless, well-maintained, and just as described. All of Mary’s instructions were clear and easy to follow, making check-in and check-out a breeze. You can tell she truly cares about her guests’ experience. One of the biggest highlights was how she helped us recover an expensive item we accidentally left behind. Mary made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. Her quick response and willingness to help ensured we didn’t have to worry, and we’re so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. Overall, Mary is an exceptional host and we highly recommend her place to anyone. She truly made our stay one to remember. Thank you, Mary!

Great place to stay in the area! The place itself was lovely, clean, comfortable and felt very modern! checking in was a breeze and Kevin was thoughtful in his communication. I will try to stay here again next time im in MTV for work

Christine’s place is located in a quiet neighborhood but walkable to grocery stores, coffee shop and some restaurants. Christine’s place is very cozy , beds are very comfortable , and kitchen is well equipped , would stay here again.

We really enjoyed staying here. You can’t beat this location right on Santana Row and across the street from the mall- tons of nice shops and good places to eat. In addition, everything was so clean and beautifully decorated. The appliances and furniture seem new. The unit is very quiet and it has a very peaceful feeling. The parking is good and it is easy to get in and out of the building. The host is very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was very responsive and made everything easy. Would definitely stay again!

A wonderful place to stay! The kind of stay you want to keep secret it was so great. Beautiful ocean view and very close to Monterey. Krista was very helpful. Would absolutely stay again!

our family had an amazing stay at this house above the clouds ❤️ the pool was great as well as the bbq pits, such an amazing view and peaceful environment my girls loved the animals on property, Gary is a wonderful host...we will be back!

Had a great stay! The place was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The host was responsive and helpful throughout. Only thing to note is that the walls are a bit thin, but that’s not the host’s fault—just something to keep in mind. Would definitely stay again!

Ann's place is awesome for exploring Monterey and the surrounding areas. It was great not having to worry about paying to park downtown. Everything you'd want to do is within walking distance, from the beaches to shopping and dining to the Aquarium. Ann was very accommodating and allowed for an earlier check in which was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!!

we had a lovely stay here! felt very peaceful up in the trees! local recommendations were great. would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Beautiful Stay and very helpful host! Great amenities and the sunset views are stunning. Plenty of parking and things to do in the area Will definitely try to be back!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for our family of 3. We utilized the park pass a few times and really appreciated having that available to us for free. The beds were comfy, although we did wish there were pillows that were more firm. We used the hot tub a few times and it was so relaxing! The beach is a 7 minute walk which was perfect for us. Our only complaint is that the walls are really thin and could hear the neighbors talking and walking around above us.

We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

As expected, a gorgeous place. Location is great—right across the Tesla shop, walking distance to everywhere in Santana Row. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my stay here, the apartment was large and lovely with hardwood floors and thoughtful decor. It was nice to have a covered parking spot so close to the apartment, and I loved the little lounge seat in the bedroom. The closets were very roomy with big mirrors and there were lots of comfy blankets and towels and plenty of paper towels and toilet paper for guests. The bathroom had two sinks and lots of drawers and cabinets. The area was quiet and safe and the neighbors were friendly. I especially loved the water features on the grounds, and the patio had a perfect view of the fountains and beautiful redwood trees. The hosts were great and answered the few questions I had. It was very peaceful and I would definitely stay here again!

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.

Lawrence was an amazing host. Very responsive and friendly and made sure to check on us via messaging during our stay. The property is comfortable and in a nice and quiet neighborhood. And also has many nice places nearby within walking distance! Would definitely stay at again!
