Guesthouse vacation rentals in Monterey Bay

We very much enjoyed our stay at Imelda's place. The apartment was quiet, peaceful and very private. It had all of the amenities that we wanted for our short stay.

This was perfect for us. Adorable apartment home with vintage charm. We had our own entrance and it felt private and protected. The house had all kinds noon extras like coffee, teas, and snacks as well as lots of games. It was close enough to walk to really good restaurants and all the fun but far enough away from the crowds, partiers, and noise of the boardwalk that we could rest peacefully. The whole house was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I would highly recommend.

Phillip and Lisa were by far the best Air BnB hosts we have ever had the pleasure to stay with. They provided a race day package upon learning that we were in town for the Big Sur Marathon that was both thoughtful and practical. Their space was exactly as advertised and the perfect place for a weekend getaway to Carmel. Philip and Lisa went out of their way to ensure our comfort while utilizing the Nestle Inn. We cannot recommend a stay with them highly enough!

The lodging is in the back, in a garden and near the swimming pool and tennis court. The backdrop is beautiful, and the host and hostess were friendly and accommodating. There is privacy and the area offers much in terms of restaurants and shopping. The internet is broadband, so one can work in the lodging. Amy and Lou are wonderful people----worthy of friendship in any circumstance.

We really enjoyed the property we stayed in. Stu was very responsive with inquiries we had and did a great job coming up with solutions. We would definitely stay at the property again.

Erin and all other Co-Host’s were certainly kind and helpful. The place was beautiful and the decoration made it feel like home. Our stay was wonderful and we cannot wait to do it again!

Had an absolutely lovely stay at Rezan’s place. She was the utmost in hospitableness and thoughtfulness The property is absolutely gorgeous, filled with birds and trees and flowers and the sound of frogs, statuary, walking paths, places to sit and enjoy the environment, a little pond with fountain, and just minutes to downtown Los Gatos. I had the best stay.

We enjoyed our 2 nights at Tom’s cabin. All instructions were clear and everything listed were accurate. He was very friendly and available for questions too. We will stay there again when we go back to Carmel!

Josephine’s place was perfect for my stay! The place had everything I needed, from essentials to thoughtful extras that made my visit even more comfortable. It was spotless, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Check-in was a breeze, and the clear instructions made everything super easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and well-equipped stay!

Perfect host. Perfect stay. The whole experience was 6 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ highly recommend.

We had a great stay. We chose this area for the proximity to Pinnacles NP and it was perfect. Great space and early check in was much appreciated 😊

Stayed at Arthur’s to attend a SAP Center event. Planned to Uber but found the neighborhood very walkable. Place is nicely tucked away and quiet away from the street and main house. We only had trouble street parking on our first night which was a Thursday after 5pm. Otherwise it was fine. Overall enjoyed our stay.

This place was so cute and perfect for our stay. It was clean and looked new and well maintained. Martha was accommodating to our needs and very responsive. We felt really at home and enjoyed our stay there. We would stay here again next time we are in the area.

Super cute place! Our kids loved the ducks and horses across the street. They couldn’t wait to explore! The house is very well stocked- games, kids toys, cookware, laundry soap… everything you can think of! We had a really great time, and it’s such a unique place to get to stay!

First off I want to publicly say Thank Betsey for everything!! Great location, easy freeway access. Very close to downtown for restaurants and entertainment. For extended stays it is the best!!

We will be returning for sure. Kimberly and the space could not have been better for our needs. We've been touring colleges with our daughter and for our UCSC round we found the location to be utterly peaceful and quiet and exactly as described and clean as a whistle. It's one block from one of the prettiest beaches and has a ton of food/amenities located nearby. Kimberly was highly communicative and offered lots of useful suggestions both for restaurants and things to do while in the area. If our child ends up at UCSC we will be benefit from this space regularly. Thanks for the wonderful offering and help, Kimberly.

We loved staying at Kyle & Rachel's studio. It was clean and bright with all the modern accommodations and more. Kyle and Rachel were very responsive and thoughtful hosts. The studio had everything you'd want and more! The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom and shower were really nice and spa-like. It's a great location, easy to access but yet quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend staying there!

My grandpa and grandma stayed here and they said this was the best bead and breakfast they have experienced in their life. huge thanks to Silvia for being responsive and making my grandparents feel at home!

We spent almost 3 weeks in this cozy and charming apartment. The location is perfect for experiencing all that Santa Cruz has to offer and we walked to the beach, wharf, and Boardwalk daily. Many coffee shops and restaurants are blocks away. Mike was extremely responsive and friendly, but not intrusive at all. We hope to stay here again.

Highly recommend. Central to the Bay Area and major freeways. Clean and quiet. Easy access and private parking. Everything was perfect. This is my second time staying and will be staying again! Thank you!!

very beautiful place to stay. felt very private and personal. even though the parking is on the street, there were plenty of open spots to park in. definitely would stay at again if i’m ever in the area.

This is such a gem! This little duplex was so cute and perfect for our stay in Santa Cruz. The pictures don’t do it justice! Kathleen was a fantastic host. She was great with communication and checked in with us throughout our stay. The location is unbeatable, 20 minute walk to the boardwalk, 10 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute walk to Verve coffee! I highly recommend Kathleen’s spot to anyone!

Awesome cottage; amazing vibe. We loved our stay, the only thing we didn’t like was that there was so much to do in the area that we didn’t spend as much time relaxing/enjoying the cottage as we wish we had. We didn’t need to reach out for anything, it really was like having a home away from home, but there is no doubt that if we had needed anything our hosts would have been responsive. It was truly a worry free stay.

Mary’s cottage was a peaceful and comfortable oasis for us in our travels. The cottage is modern and spotless, and the bed very comfortable. We really appreciated having a washer and dryer and the use of a full kitchen. The downtown area is only a few minutes away by car.
