Vacation rentals with beach access in Monterey Bay

The place was very nice and peaceful. Even went the extra mile to make this special trip of ours extra-meaningful by gifting my wife a surprise of a bouquet of flowers. This meant a lot for us, and David was very helpful, welcoming and responsive.

We had a great stay in this apartment in Capitola. It was clean, spacious and well equipped. Located in a central location in a quiet, walkable surf town

It was so awesome and comfortable to stay here! Our hosts were awesome and responsive the whole time and everything listed was just as described. It was an extremely easy setup and very straightforward. Had everything we needed and we wanted to stay even longer! Will definitely be coming back here anytime i go on a Monterey 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 !

Great place. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to take a family vacation to America's best little small town, Pacific Grove. Would absolutely stay there again.

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.

Very nice, beautiful place. It is right on the same street as the stores and restaurants so you can walk to most places. However, as renters have said, parking during the day can be difficult, there is traffic noise and a store plays music across the street during the day. At night, just the occasional car. Plenty of space for us and good kitchen. They were able to let us check in a few hours early.

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.

Perfect place to stay near the beach. Was too cold for beach activities but enjoyed walking the neighborhoods along the beaches with all the spring flowers blooming. House had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Great hosts!

We had a great stay at Kathryn’s cozy airbnb! Amazing location right at the beach and easily walkable. Kathryn was such a nice and helpful host. Would love to stay here again!

What an absolutely stellar and extremely comfortable home. My entire family greatly enjoyed the hospitality, well appointed kitchen, fantastic outdoor space and the built in bunkbeds worked perfectly for our teens. Incredible location and visiting the nearby Farmer's Market was a definite highlight (as well as the beaches of course!). We'd love to return sometime in the future! Thank you!

This house was exactly what it was described as. It was immaculately presented and very easy to find everything and we were greeted by a lovely gift when we arrived. We had an amazing time at the house and would recommend this to anybody. We were also contacted by Sarah on the day we were checking out asking would like a later check out. This was amazing for us as trying to get four children together and all of our luggage meant it gave us that little bit extra time to make sure we had everything before we left. If ever we we were in Aptos again, we would stay here 100%.

Lori's place was perfect for a large group of people to both enjoy each other's company in the large living/dining/deck areas, while having privacy for sleeping. It's two stories with lots of space inside and outside with a third story outside crow's nest deck as well. The hot tub was a bonus! The beach access was incredible and the best thing about the location. It's just a 2 min. walk away! The neighborhood is tranquil. Lori was easy and great to work with as well! What a special time!

Joyce’s place was clean and had a really great location. We thought we were right on the Cliff so that was kind of a bummer to have a house in front of our ocean view. But the place was really nice, and very clean! The space was really cool and had great decoration. Beds were comfortable. Kids were happy. We loved playing in the hot tub and in the garden in the backyard.

My family had a great time . The house is beautiful and the location couldn’t be better . Thank you for helping us make amazing memories.

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!

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 a great time at Seascape. The home was right by the beach and playground, also central location to lots of places by Santa Cruz and Monterey. The home was spacious for three adults, a toddler and baby. It was also very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

After a last minute cancellation by another property, we were lucky enough to find Blake and Lisa’s wonderful home. The whole space is beautifully renovated and the view is incredible. We actually changed some of our plans so we could spend more time staying in and watching everything going on at the beach. Getting to see dolphins from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom was a real treat. The walking path along the beach is just steps from the door, as well as several restaurants, a market, and a deli. Parking was right outside the door as well, and the neighborhood was quiet. We can’t wait to go back and spend more time there. Thank you, Lisa, for being so accommodating and helpful with our last minute booking. We really appreciate everything!

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.

This place was truly a gem! The wall of windows and the balcony to watch the ocean is perfection. We even saw a few seals from the balcony! The condo is clean, comfortable, and spacious. Well set up for relaxing! We felt at home- it is well appointed with everything you could need with instructions on where to find things. The location was perfect- within steps of the beach and great restaurants, easy drive to Monterey, Santa Cruz, etc. A new favorite spot for us to visit! Thanks for the hospitality!

We really enjoyed our stay, the home was beautiful and very clean. Easy check-in/access with responsiveness from the host. Views were beautiful with great restaurants within a short distance. Our only disappointment was the second bedroom not having the bunk bed setup that was indicated/pictured at our time of booking last year. We made due but would have preferred it as shown when we booked. Would stay again and recommend to others!
