Beachfront vacation rentals in Monterey County

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.

Great location and space for a weekend getaway! We came up for business and pleasure (2 adults + doggo (huge plus!)). The location is centrally located. We went to Big Sur, Carmel, fisherman’s wharf, and Cannery Row. Cannery Row was a walkable distance (great for a post meal/drink walk) and also far enough away from the hustle and bustle. There is a grocery store conveniently nearby to grab anything you need. The home was tidy and had all that we needed. One bed is upstairs, the other is at the floor level. Both beds are comfy - it was chilly on the first floor but there were blankets in the laundry room that helped. The bathroom was clean and provided enough towels. On a clear day you can see the ocean - the greenery and ocean blue make for a nice view. The home was also easy to get in and out of. Having a parking space is a plus! We brought a 4Runner and it fit up the driveway fine (was kinda tight on a turn but we made it). Host is responsive. Overall, a successful stay!

Very nice and welcoming host, very recommended

This is a great place to stay for kids and adults alike. The view of Monterey Bay doesn't get any better than this place. We had an ocean view, the rooms are new, clean and comfortable, there is a great pool, the hottub could have used a scrub, but there were other amenities that made up for it. The check-in was super easy. The kids got s'mores making kits for the fire pits. Great sushi place nearby (Ichi Riki). We kept our luggage at the hotel while we went to the aquarium. We highly recommend this place for an easy stay.

We had a 3 night stay at Rich's "Brown Barn" - we could have happily stayed longer. Right from the beginning, Rich and Darryl were great hosts. Always replying promptly and being so flexible and accommodating. The "Brown Barn" was a fabulous place to stay for a family. Very spacious, so comfortable and lots to do both within the house and a short walk or drive away. This was a great stay - highly recommended. Many thanks again to Rich and Darryl for being so friendly and helpful and making us feel so welcome.

If you want something away from the downtown area, but with a view and close to point lobos, this is a great option. We had our dog with us for the first time at an Airbnb and it’s definitely dog friendly if you want to bring your pup.

This was a beautiful property. As others noted as well as pictures indicate, there are lots of stairs. We loved getting the workout of the stairs to the beach and climbed them multiple times a day. The house was beautifully decorated and all the appliances new. Everything we needed was in the kitchen.

Such a beautiful space and so easy to get around. Hosts were incredibly responsive and welcoming. Parking is easy but tight, so if your car is larger you might want to use the ample street parking. Easy either way.

One of the best air b n bs! Lots of amenities, fully stocked. We loved our stay!

All around great experience, location, hosts and stay. Very helpful and responsive hosts, and the onsite community association members were helpful, kind and welcoming. The unit was nicely updated, and it's unlikely you'll find a place closer to the beach. Close to the boardwalk to the north, and the aquarium to the south. Minutes to Castroville and what is easily one of the best Sushi restaurants in California. Recommended.

This home was absolutely beautiful. Right on the water. Everything inside the house was clean stocked with utensils. Had some of the best sleep here. Very peaceful.

This is a special place in a great location; perfect home base for exploring Big Sur, Carmel, Monterey, Capitola, and Santa Cruz!! The grounds are immaculate and the staff onsite offer friendly support. The unit has everything you need in the kitchen and there are lots of sleeping options. GREAT restaurant and bar onsite! But that’s the only place to eat that’s walkable. So we used the BBQ grill for one night, which was clean and in good shape! Enjoyed cooking outside and eating at the private patio table. Hot tub and pool super clean and well kept! Was nice! Come here to relax, recharge, watch sunsets on the beach and adventure around the many beautiful nearby destinations!!

Everything was advertised. This unit had it all. Very comfortable for 2 or 3 couples. The location was spectacular.

Janice’s apartment had gorgeous views and was a short walk to a lovely and walkable beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to make easy meals and the whole place was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!

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.

Very nice location. Relatively remote from civilization. Very scenic views.

We had a great stay at Jennifer and John’s home! We really appreciated having kid gear and toys for our toddlers, and loved being able to borrow their stroller for walks along the coast and to the aquarium. The home was very quiet, comfortable and cozy and was a great base to explore Pacific Grove and the greater area. Thanks again for hosting us!!

The condo unit is located in a peaceful quiet setting with access to the beach that is very secluded. The community has a nice walking path. Parking is easy. The Unit is as described with clean towels, bedding and lots of cutlery in the kitchen. We liked the place.

We wanted a place between Santa Cruz and Monterey for our vacation, and we were pleasantly surprised by the beauty and seclusion of the property. Soojin was super responsive to any and all questions, and the place was perfectly clean- and had an amazing view. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful place on the beach and a great host!

We had a wonderful stay at Jack's home in Cannery Row! The location is unbeatable—steps away from the vibrant waterfront, restaurants, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The house was clean, cozy, and had enough room for us and our friends. The check-in process was seamless, and Jack was quick to respond and ensured that we had everything for our stat. We loved the location and the views from the balcony. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Monterey!

Exquisite place to stay! The perfect serene home base for spending time in and near Carmel -- just as special as the pictures. And the hosts included all sorts of thoughtful touches that made all the difference. Highly recommended!

Great location for someone wanting to explore Carmel and Monterey. Place was very clean and would love to comeback and stay longer.

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

First time staying at this area and it was very peaceful. The view from our room was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Megan was an awesome host and would definitely come and stay again.
