Vacation rentals with a patio in Carmel-by-the-Sea

Clean place in a great area. Kitchen was definitely a nice feature that we very much enjoyed. There’s a beach in walking distance. The whole place is cozy and homey. Cons: coffee maker wasn’t clean, expired food was left behind, the beds were bunk beds, which wasn’t preferred. Overall, it was a positive experience and was very comfortable for 3 nights

We had a great time staying in the Treetop Heaven "treehouse"! My wife and I loved the mountain feel of the environment without the excursion into the actual mountains. Amenities, shops, and restaurants are just a mile away and the area has a small town, community feel. Hosts were very attentive and made sure we knew they were available if we needed anything. The accommodations were perfect for the two of us and my wife especially enjoyed our meals on the deck hidden up in the trees! A great place for a getaway!

My daughter and I loved staying here . The location is perfect for a true vacation. We barely needed to drive anywhere , as almost everything we needed was within walking distance . It is the perfect beach bungalow , and we can’t wait to go back !

What a cute homey space! It really did feel clean, and I think part of it is because shoes are not to be worn indoors. I really appreciated this. The size was perfect for just myself. The space was laid out to maximize its function and use, and I appreciated all the windows that could be opened for fresh air. Everything was very organized. Nikki was quick about answering my questions about the wifi (very fast!) and other amenities. I did not walk to the shops, as it seemed it would take too long to walk there with the limited window of time I had to do so. But driving there only took a few minutes. A lovely stay!

We loved our stay here in Carmel. For four people, it is spacious enough with very comfortable beds and a fantastic living space. The location is unbeatable with the beach a ten minute walk away, and so many restaurants nearby. We’d love to come again!

Wonderful home! Looks even better than the photos. Well appointed, clean, bright and on a lovely street. Host was welcoming and responsive. We loved staying here and highly recommend it.

Such a lovely and peaceful retreat. Steps to the beach. Howard was excellent with communication. Highly recommended

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

Susan was awesome with responding to any question we had! The place was perfect for our family to gather and stay together for my son’s wedding, which was just a few miles away. We highly recommend the home for a group!!! Thank you, Susan!!!!

My friends and I had a wonderful time staying at VacatioNEST. The house exceeded our expectations. The location is beautiful and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Check in was very easy. It is 45 minutes to Santa Cruz and Monterey. There are several wineries close by. I highly recommend staying here for a group vacation.

My husband and I met my son , his wife and our two grandchildren at Meli’s place. The house is lovely. It’s very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The views from the porch and great room were gorgeous. The grandchildren loved the playground right across the street. Meli’s book with things to do, restaurants , directions was so helpful. The location is perfect for exploring Monterey, Carmel and even Santa Cruz. Meli was very responsive and easy to work with. We highly recommend staying at her spot!

We had a great stay. Ian’s place is cute, comfortable, and close to everything but still nice and quiet. Beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was spacious and well-stocked. My dogs had a great time walking through the neighborhood to the beach and hanging out in the fenced in backyard! The hot tub was a highlight, and Ryan (Ian’s brother) was awesome—he spent nearly a whole day cleaning it after the previous guests to make sure it was perfect for us. Communication with him was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

James was very responsive and kind. The house was beautiful and in a great location. It was quiet and felt secluded and peaceful but still close to stores and restaurants.

Nice kitchen, stocked with all kinds of dishes. Extremely comfortable beds and memory foam pillows. Perfect place for my two friends and into each have our own room, but hang out in the living room.

Beautiful home, well appointed, wonderful amenities, extremely comfortable. Comfy bed. Very clean. Bobby and Kristen were excellent hosts.

We loved our stay and the beautiful views. The layout and housing was nice and the beds were very comfortable. The only issues we had was that it was close to the freeway so you could hear the cars sometimes. The place is very easy to find and to get to. The only thing that may have helped was having pot holders for using the oven. Definitely follow the instructions to turn on the fan and open the window when using the stove because the fire alarm is close to the kitchen. These are really minor things. I would recommend others stay here and would have loved to stay longer otherwise.

Joanne and Nicole’s apartment was very spacious, and both David and I had more than enough room to relax and enjoy our time. The home theater was such a special treat, and we really appreciated the helpful information they provided about nearby restaurants. On top of that, they generously left snacks and even pasta sauce for us, which made us feel very welcomed. The outdoor hot tub was warm, clean, and incredibly cozy, making our stay even more relaxing. The instructions they gave were very clear and easy to follow, which helped everything go smoothly from the moment we arrived. They also placed a very easy-to-understand guidebook inside the apartment, so we could quickly find anything we needed without any confusion. Thanks to their thoughtful setup and care, we were able to fully relax and enjoy a slow and peaceful two-night, three-day stay.

We had a wonderful weekend at this lovely home! The house was very clean and well-maintained, and it’s located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that made for a relaxing stay. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was super convenient. One of the highlights was the amazing view of the ocean right from the house absolutely stunning. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

The location of the apartment is awesome. We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and excellent view of the beach and ocean. Sleeping with the sound of the ocean waves was such a gift. Patti is lovely and kind with her communications. We did have some issues with the shower and bath sink in one of the bathrooms. We also wished we had paid attention to what was not listed in terms of provisions. For example, you’d have to bring your own coffee, teas, paper towels, and bathroom hand soaps (although napkins and bath soap bars were provided). Overall, a beautiful home at a great location with potentials for some minor improvements which I understand Patti will address in good spirit.

If you are looking for a place to rest, relax and reset your mind this is the place for you. Pajaro Dunes is a wonderful location to walk along the beach just steps away from the condo. It’s very peaceful and the resort grounds are clean. Soojin is a wonderful host and her condo was more than we could have asked for. Very clean, modern decor and the amenities provided were very well thought of especially in the kitchen and in the bathrooms. Beach amenities were provided as well. We hope to return and bring our family and friends to join us next time around.

This place felt like we were staying at a classy, upscale friend’s place. Seriously, the quality of the amenities to the mugs to the thoughtful touches spread all over the home were very much appreciated. Ideal location that is walking distance to the beach and driving distance to the many scenic spots that the Santa Cruz area has to offer. Would 100% stay here again!

We had a great time here! Clean, great location, and comfortable. Spent a few days here with my little kids because our place was getting painted, and we all had a great time. Short walk for beach and pool, park right next door, and a beautiful view from the living room. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Aptos.

This was the perfect place for my family and I to relax and enjoy. Plenty to do and a great little restaurant right on location. Sidharth was awesome to communicate with and was very proactive.

Would family had an amazing time at Sean condo! It had amazing views, the house was extremely nice, and very clean. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Aptos!!
