House rentals with a hot tub

Very Private, Jacuzzi, King, 3 Balconies, Espresso
Lovely home with very nice touches from the hosts. They really went above and beyond to make your stay incredibly welcoming!

Cozy Hot Tub Retreat
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!

Monterey Home with a Secret Garden!
Very cozy house in the woods with a stunning garden. Lots of small details in the house. Debra was extremely friendly and helpful with everything. We enjoyed our vacation here and wish we could stay longer.

Isolation Retreat - ocean view & hot tub
Karin's place has a beautiful view, nice hot tub and outdoor shower area to use, and is a well stocked kitchen with everything you'd possibly need. We appreciated the location being between Carmel and Big Sur which allowed us to explore in both directions. My only complaint is that it is a very expensive stay - we paid $680/night for a shared space with owners on the same property and the many reminders about taking out the trash, not overusing electricity, and no shoes in the house. We are always respectful and treat everyone's place as we would our own - but felt like for the price point of what we paid, we shouldn't be asked to take the trash out, etc. Feels like for that price-point these things should all be included so we can relax without feeling like we needed to be mindful of every little detail. Again, great place, but it was definitely a big splurge for us!

Beach Oasis in Downtown Santa Cruz
We had a wonderful stay at Ali’s home. They were very responsive to all questions and requests. The location was perfect, very walkable to downtown and also the boardwalk, but private and peaceful at the same time. A perfect spot to explore and enjoy Santa Cruz!

Relaxing West Cliff Escape with Hot Tub!
The house was a peaceful oasis just moments from the heart of Santa Cruz. It had a very well-stocked kitchen. The hot tub and outdoor shower were a hit with the kids and adults. Thank you for setting up this house with families in mind—we had a fabulous time and can’t wait to come back!

Serene luxury beach bungalow in Pleasure Point
The house was in the best location, just a short walk from the Point (less than a block). The sound and smell of the ocean were clear from the time we stepped out of the car. The house is surprisingly spacious. From the outside, it looks like a little charming beach cottage, but once you enter the gate, you are greeted with a hidden wonderland with all the amenities you would expect at a fancy home. The private yard has a private outdoor shower nook, hot tub, outside fire, and TV. The outside space is well designed and laid out for living and entertaining in the warm evening sea breeze. The covered space includes outdoor couches, a fireplace, and a large outside dining table steps away from the gas barbecue (which worked great) to cook dinner on our first night. The magic continues inside with very clean, sleak and extremely functional interior spaces. The living room and kitchen are open to each other and warm and inviting with plenty of comfortable seating. Its amazing all around!

*New* Oak Treehouse Retreat
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!

Chic comfort just a stroll from the sea!
Cute and clean! We felt very comfortable here. The place was well kept, great use of a small space, and had everything we needed. There’s an enclosed outdoor yard also, perfect for hanging out when the weather is nice.

Premium Monterey Bay Retreat minutes to Carmel.
We enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was spacious and clean. The kitchen area is a good design and space to spend with your friends and family. Faris responded to any questions we had very quickly. We would stay here again.

Big Beautiful Home Away From Home/9beds/18 Guests
Thank you!

Blue Whale Bungalow
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!

Spacious 3-Story Home Close To SC Beach Boardwalk
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.

Marina Refuge - A 4BD Home Near Town & Aquarium
There were 9 adults for a girls weekend and it fit us perfect! The beds are comfortable. The couches were super comfortable. Plenty of blankets and towels. The temperature in the house was perfect. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. Mina was proactive and sent messages with all the information needed to get in and enjoy the home. And then the day before our departure provided cleaning instructions which were very minimal. She responded quickly to any questions I had. We were able to fit 4 vehicles in the drive way. I recommend this place!

Sunlit Surf House 3 BR/2BA Downtown +Walk To Beach
We loved this place! Mike and Ashlie were so helpful and friendly. The house was convenient, clean, and comfortable. We felt very "at home". Loved the location. Quiet neighborhood. It was a perfect Santa Cruz mini-vacation for us!

Monterey Bay Getaway - spacious 3 BR/2 BA home
We loved thw place, felt right at home the moment we walked in. Safe residential neighborhood, close to all of the attractions you come to enjoy in and around Monterey. Very nice and clean house, stocked with everything you possibly might need during your stay. Confortable beds, clean linens, nice towels. Kitchen -- it has everything and more. Coffeemaker (and coffe for it), ping pong table, and firepit in the backyard was an awesome bonus to our stay. We will be back!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
House rentals with a pool

Central Coast; Meadow, Hot Tub, Polite Pets Welcom
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

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!
This place was nicer than the photos and absolutely perfect for a girls weekend. Everything was well equipped and labeled. The location was very quiet and peaceful with great access to a quiet beach. You definitely need a car as it's a little isolated but that added to the charm.

Private Pool Villa for family getaways
Beautiful home! My husband and I brought my parents who were visiting and our 3 kids on a trip for spring break. We wanted to enjoy a day at the beach. The home is located in a quiet rural area. Everything was super clean and the kids enjoyed the pool and the tiny office (looks like a fairy house) my girls lost track of time playing inside :) they have plenty of games in the kids room and the backyard is breath taking. Loved this home so much! Looking forward to book again in the near future :) Thank you Sean and Wendy!

Redwood Oasis - Private Heated Pool by State Park!
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.

Relax Watch Waves Crash Chic + Modern 3BD
We’re a family of four with young kids, and we had a fantastic stay! The home is spotless, beautifully decorated, and the kids’ room with the trundle bed was absolutely perfect for our little ones. While there was some occasional noise from neighbors and street traffic, and unloading the car from the parking behind the building was a bit of a juggle, these were minor things compared to all the positives. The short and easy walk to the beach was such a highlight — it made everything so convenient and fun! We created wonderful family memories here and would happily stay again.

Private Carmel Valley Retreat
Mary was an amazing host! Very responsive and her property was amazing, really peaceful getaway! Hot tub view of the mountains was unreal.

Toro Park Sunshine
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 .

Oceanfront Retreat w/Private HotTub
We do family trips pretty often. And honestly, this was our favorite trip so far. The home is better than the photos, which didn't do it justice even though they look great. The view and beach access were incredible. This was a perfect spot for the kids to play on the beach. We'll definitely be making this property a regular stop for us in the future.
