Otter’s Den by Monterey Beaches and Aquarium

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 208 reviews1 week ago

A Cozy and Convenient Stay at Otters Den My two kids and I recently stayed at Otters Den during our visit to Marina, California, and we had a lovely time! The studio was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s in a great location—close to the beach, restaurants, and just a short drive to nearby attractions like Monterey and Carmel. The space felt safe and peaceful, and it was the perfect home base for our little adventures. We especially appreciated how easy everything was, from check-in to communication. Overall, Otters Den is a solid choice for families or anyone looking for a convenient and relaxing place to stay in Marina. We’d happily come back again! Thank you Victor.

Gorgeous Bungalow 3 blocks to beach

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviews6 days ago

My family and dog stayed at Jeremy’s house for 5 days and loved every minute. The house is very spacious and airy, super well-maintained with lots of room to relax and enjoy. The front and back yards are big and perfect for a dog and kids. Everything you’d need is covered, from outdoor shower to a handy pooper scooper and toys for the dog. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, yet only 3 minutes walk to great burgers, pizza or Mexican food. And only 8 minute walk to The Hook or 38th Ave for surfing or beach. 5 minute drive or an easy bike ride to downtown Capitola. Jeremy was a fantastic host, always asking if we needed anything. Will definitely visit again!

Our overall experience at Perla’s place was great! I got all the information I needed to settle in on the Airbnb app. The lock codes were easy to use. Perla was very responsive and left clear instructions for us to feel right at home. This Airbnb is very clean, especially the kitchen, the bedrooms, and bathrooms. My adult son, my wife, and I enjoyed the very clean facilities. The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook and eat our meals with beautiful cookware and environment. We enjoyed walking to the beautiful clean beach. We searched for fresh seafood and were pleased with the Sea Harvest fresh seafood market. Thank you for the coffee too.
