Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Del Monte Forest

Perfect place to stay. Great for kiddos with a park across the street. Beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants are all close by. We loved our stay here!!

Just the place we needed to do the Big Sur Marathon!

Truly enjoyed our stay and experience at Dave & Lee's place. Incredibly responsive and friendly hosts. I was in town for the Big Sur marathon and received a TON of useful info from them. The house was perfect for our family with two small children (1 and 3 years old). The bed and pillows in primary were very comfortable. Everything was very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cooking supplies. The house rules and checkout procedures were reasonable and easy. All in all it was a great Airbnb experience, and I recommend staying here on your next visit to the area. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful stay. A short walk to the beach makes this a perfect location. The house has everything you might need... beach towels, a washing machine, lots of comfy couches...

Place was great--fit our needs perfectly. Recommend opening windows at night to bring in that beautiful fresh air. Our 4.5 yo was absolutely over the moon by all the activities outside in the yard-- very well equipped area for adults and kids alike! The sand toys were also a hit--we loved walking to the beach and appreciated how well written the instructions were. Just took a photo of them and went on our way. Only bummer is the lack of sidewalks in Aptos, but most cars do seem to watch for walkers. Marianne's ice cream is great, and tamales across the street also fantastic. Weather cooperated and the easy access to Santa Cruz and Monterey made this location ideal. Colm was a great host--responded immediately to any questions I had. Very thankful for this spring break trip--we truly feel rejuvenated!

We really enjoyed our short stay in Santa Cruz & this home was in the perfect location for us. Although not warm enough for beach weather, we enjoyed the sunset & views + a super close walk to the beach. Kids enjoyed the Boardwalk & that was also a short walk away. The house was adorable - so nicely renovated & decorated. Beds were really comfy - everyone slept well! The private & secure parking was a nice plus. We hope to come back & would definitely stay here again!

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.

Amazing stay at the Wave house! It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the location, it was close to everything. Greg was very helpful. This beautiful home was definitely worth it!

I couldn't be happier with our stay at Michele’s Le Bijou at Toujours Maison! We booked it after reading the great Airbnb reviews and am so glad we found it. I wanted to stay at a cute and nice place in Carmel, and had some difficulty finding a place that fit our needs. WE LOVED Michele’s place, and can see why it gets so many compliments! Our stay was a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and he also loved it just as much as I did. More than anything, the hospitality was outstanding - every detail of the experience felt thoughtful and personalized. From the heated towel rack and heated floors to the cozy board games and beautiful design touches, everything felt curated to made our stay feel extra special. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Carmel from a great host who makes the whole experience feel effortless and so worth it!

Amazing apartment! Just a quick drive to downtown Monterey! The kitchen was very well stocked. We loved the projector and Pac-man machine! Very nice touches!

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.

Well-stocked, simply furnished bungalow-type attached residence in the Seabright neighborhood, convenient to the northeastern residential sections of Santa Cruz and to supermarkets and natural food stores. Many new, easy-to-operate small appliances and good laundry set-up. Ample kitchenware and condiments. Quiet city surroundings, easy parking. Overall, staying at the unit (and interacting with owner) was a pleasure.

Great hosts, great location. I will definitely stay here again when in Monterey.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated that it is independently owned, including the community activism to give back. The location was great, we were able to walk to the beach for dinner; and a short drive to the college and other areas.

Dan’s place was walkable to all the places we wanted to visit. Parking definitely a plus! Dan is such a great host and very accommodating. Had a wonderful stay.

A lovely comfortable place. Loved the decor and the great light from all the windows. Centrally located close to the beach, boardwalk, parks, and restaurants. The place was spacious and met all our needs. We will definitely return for another stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s condo! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kristina was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this Airbnb – we’d definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

We had such a relaxing time! So close to the beach, loved being able to walk out the door and be at the ocean. We could hear the waves at night. Sunsets were beautiful. The condo was perfect for us, had everything we needed! Great place to stay!

The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

This place was perfect for my family. Spacious, clean, and close to the beach. Highly recommend and hope to come back again

The view from this property was extraordinary with amazing sunsets from the deck each night. The location was perfect to visit Santa Cruz one day and Pinnacles National Park the next. The host was very responsive. We’ll definitely save this to our wishlist.

Just go and let Aaron be your host! You will not be disappointed. Aaron was very accommodating, and can’t wait to return to the Harbor House.

Clean,comfortable,quiet and modern, great ocean view from every window. 5 minute walk to beach, great local restaurants and a small town feel
