House vacation rentals in Monterey

Booked for my parents to stay at for my wedding. We were met with brownies and a wonderful home. Incredible views overlooking Carmel in a peaceful, private setting. It was everything we could have asked for and more. Highly recommend.

Tammy’s place is a wonderful home to stay at while visiting the area. It is comfortable and clean with plenty of room for several people. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. The backyard is very inviting and the hot tub is a nice perk. Tammy provided clear instructions and was responsive. Highly recommend!

Debra's place was great - she clearly put a lot work into making it a nice vacation home. The secret garden is very relaxing and the house was well stocked (coffee in the kitchen, toys and books for kids, TVs everywhere, gym essentials!). The aquarium and beachfront are really close.

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

Incredible place. As amazing as it looks in the photos. View is beautiful, place feels very fresh, and host was a great communicator/very responsive

I proposed to my now fiancé at Mary’s place… An absolute dream getaway for anyone wanting to experience Big Sur. I recommended to several of my friends this exact Airbnb.

The Oak Treehouse far exceeded our expectations. From our pre-arrival and throughout our stay, Daniel was communicative and super responsive. While we had visited Carmel many times this trip was full of discovery and pleasant surprises. From finding a local bread and salami at the the Village market to beautiful and breathtaking hike to finding new eats all around town. Then being able to come back to relax and enjoy the amenities of the retreat in the hills made it a wonderful getaway. We highly recommend to all!

We stayed at this magical treehouse cabin for my birthday weekend and it was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled among towering redwoods, the space felt peaceful, private, and full of charm. The cabin was thoughtfully designed—cozy, clean, and filled with sweet touches that made it feel special. The hot tub under the trees was an absolute dream, especially in the quiet of the early morning or under the stars at night. The surrounding forest was alive with birdsong, and we loved how connected we felt to nature while still having all the comforts we needed. If you’re looking for a place to slow down, reset, and experience the magic of the redwoods, this is it. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of coming back.

We thought this place would be great and it was better than expected. The patio area was nice and there's plenty of room for your group to hang out inside or out. The beds are very comfortable, too. This is a great place!

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

We had such a wonderful stay at Mariam's place! From the moment we booked, Mariam was incredibly kind and communicative, making sure we had everything we needed and answering any questions right away. The house was spotless and super cozy — the perfect size for our family of four and our two pups! It's in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to the beach, which was a huge plus for us. We felt so at home and would absolutely love to come back. Thank you again, Mariam, for such a lovely experience!

Clean, comfy, and conveniently located for our road trip to Santa Cruz and the coast. We walked to shops, the marina, and the beach during our stay. The large dining table was great for playing Yahtzee while Alexa served up our favorite tunes on demand. Al, the maintenance guy who lives next door, introduced himself the first day of our stay, gave us his card, and offered to support whatever we needed—but we didn’t need much. A previous guest left a broken corkscrew, and I could've called Al. Instead, I walked to Day’s Market Liquors & Deli and bought a $5 replacement, along with freshly made chicken tamales that were absolutely delicious.

I LOVED this place. It was so beautiful on the inside and out. Each room was so spacious and organized. Also, the walk from the house to the beach was doable and super convenient.

This was a lovely house in the arena area and I got to say it was really comfortable, well furnished, and it kind of pretty much everything that my family and I needed for a one night's day. I really thought it was a great value as well given the hotels in the area and a special note that I really loved the mattresses. Good job.

My family had a wonderful stay at Mike and Ashlie's place. We were six adults and a two year old and the place was perfect. My daughter loved all the toys and books and Ashlie kindly let us borrow a high chair. We enjoyed walking to the boardwalk/beach and downtown was just a short drive. Parking was easy with a driveway able to accommodate our two cars. The kitchen was spacious and fully stocked and we enjoyed our meals around the island and on the back patio. The neighborhood is quiet and private, yet close to everything in Santa Cruz. It's clearly noted in the listing, but it's helpful to know there is an attached studio that is also an airbnb rental (unless you reserve the entire house). It's connected behind a locked door next to the living room where the original front door/entry of the house is located. Depending on the guests, you can easily hear noise from that unit and you need to be mindful if you're up early/late in the living room. Would definitely recommend this place

Our stay was great. Located in a quiet neighborhood that was centrally located for the things we wanted to see and do, Carmel by the sea, Santa Cruz and Big Sur! House was as pictured, clean and the beds were super comfy! We didn’t have time to use but the backyard and firepit area looked nice, we would definitely recommend Roberto and staying at his place!

This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

We loved staying at Shelli’s home in Monterey Dunes Colony. Every room was set up nicely and clean, and you could tell Shelli has put a lot of care into the home. There were 7 of us and each family member enjoyed their stay. We love staying at Monterey Dunes Colony because the location can’t be beat. Every home has their quirks but honestly we didn’t find any at Shelli’s. It was comfortable to hang out and enjoy the beach and scenery, and close enough to outdoor activities and the aquarium. The living room is set up comfortably for a big group, while offering privacy too. It was a restful and rejuvenating getaway! We plan to book again.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful stay! Every detail was so thoughtful—from the Sensitive Dove body wash (a lifesaver for my daughter’s sensitive skin) to the soothing fountain and fragrant garden that made the whole place feel like a retreat. We loved dining outside at the large table, with those stunning doors that opened the whole space to the fresh air. The cozy cottage near the pool was the cherry on top. Truly a 10/10 experience—one of the most special Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in!

Everything about our stay was fantastic!! The beds, the pool, the town…the three of us loved this Airbnb and look forward to coming back. Swimming in a heated pool in the winter is a heavenly experience.

We LOVED our stay! This home was such a great find. It’s beautiful, unique, and scenic. The property offered a lot that it’d be a tragedy not to spend most if not all of your time there. We enjoyed it so much we canceled outings. We had with us four teenagers and a pre school age little one. They loved venturing out, enjoyed the jacuzzi and pool time, and s’more making at the fire pit. We wished we had more time to BBQ and enjoy the gorgeous views of the valley. The separate unit above the garage with two bedrooms was perfect for the girls to enjoy their privacy. All of the beds were comfortable, & it had plenty of bathroom & pool towels. Everything was decorated beautifully & was well stocked. The living room had a comfy couch & the kitchen, although on the small side, was perfect for quick home cooked meals. This was a beautiful property, easy to disconnect from reality & a comfy home! It’s worth the drive up/down the windy road, so if you get car sick, just come prepared!

We loved every moment spent in this house ,especially the cats , the house was very comfortable, clean and cozy, I would definitely recommend this house .

Wonderful place in a wonderful environment. We had an excellent time with the kids, very nice pool, beaches close by and in the middle of the nice green hills of California

We enjoyed a one night stay at the house to celebrate a milestone birthday at the coast. The house was lovely and well appointed, the directions were clear and friendly, and the location was amazing. After playing on the beach, we relaxed with wine on the balcony grilling dinner and watching the sun set over the water. The stay was the perfect balance of luxury celebration and low key cozy for us.
