Cottage holiday rentals in Big Sur

Really hard to describe how wonderful the whole back yard is. Sunset here were amazing. All kinds of wildlife. The smell of the California hills in springtime always refreshes. Dogs loved it (and couldn't quite believe it). We swung on the swing, sat in the gazebo, enjoyed basking in the balcony views.

What a GEM this house is!!! You will not be disappointed staying at Shari's home! From the great communication & responsive host ... to the welcoming cookies... to the private adorable backyard and extensive amenities ... it has it ALL! Great location all around and just a short walk to the beach too! We will definitely be back!

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

Channon and Randal were so friendly and helpful! And the property is so beautiful to see, from the pond with fishes and turtles to the large oak trees and outdoor fireplace, my wife and I couldn't get enough. This property is definitely worth a visit. The large property size combined with it's location in wine country really made it feel more private and secluded, just what I was looking for. I am grateful I got to stay here, and also grateful for their hospitality and accommodations!

Great host. tons of games for the guest to play and chill. Loved the cozy place. The host was always communicating and making sure we as guest are comfortable.

Liza's place was wonderful! I would happily book a stay at Rickett's retreat again. The location is ideal, and the place itself is lovely, and it is well represented by the listing. Liza's communications from booking to checkout were detailed, timely, and friendly. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood in Cambria. Katy’s place had everything we needed to relax. We loved our “home base” to return to in between eating tasty food in town and enjoying the nearby hiking trails and ocean views. The hot tub is the cherry on top!

Wow!!! Just the home feeling was amazing, we went in the jacuzzi early in the mornings and the slight fog felt perfect for the privacy feeling, the safe and comfortable atmosphere was very pleasant. We were able to cook meals and the cottage had all the necessary utensils needed. The directions were accurate and helpful and found the cottage right away. The customer service and messaging response was amazing and we will definitely be coming back.

We absolutely loved this cottage, it was the perfect location, a quick walk to downtown. The place itself looked just like the photos, was clean and had everything we needed! We will be back!

We had an amazing stay, and the property is fantastic. Everything was super well communicated, including any questions we had. The property was quiet and private, with a lovely deck in the sun. Kitchen had everything you needed, as did the rest of the property including the cool milk bottle display. The rest of the property was spotless and we really enjoyed staying! Bravo to the hosts.

It was a cosy cottage in a great, quiet location. Host was very friendly and communicative. Overall, it was just what we were looking for!

Just returned home after a few days at Aaron’s place. This is the type place that restores one’s soul. The home is cozy, clean and comfortable. Beautiful updated kitchen and amazing deck. Really great location. As a side note, I forgot a few items in the closet after we had left. Aaron sent them to me and wouldn’t let me pay-I just can’t thank him enough. Completely recommend this place…we hope to return soon.

Great place, very cozy

Always love staying at Janet’s place. This was our fifth time and are planning on staying in November. Almost want to keep it to myself because it gets booked up 😉

I really appreciated Diana's timely responses and very helpful information. I loved that she had a video explaining and showing exactly what we could expect, and moreover, that the house exactly matched those expectations. the house was as described, very calming and in a peaceful neighborhood a very short walk (3 min) from awesome views of the ocean. Great value and just what I had hoped for. Thanks, Diana, for a beautiful stay!

This was a great place! Close to everything but still very quiet, clean and lovely on the inside with a beautiful courtyard on the outside and safe parking. Everything was just as described, and I would definitely stay again!

Sean & Jen’s listing is what AirBnB is all about. A lovely , tranquil and elegant space built probably for themselves and being shared to fellow guests. Great amenities and well setup. The creek is magical . We enjoyed our stay and hope to return .

I really cannot say enough good things about this place and the host Joanne! My sister and i booked this as a birthday weekend for our husbands and it was wonderful! She even left birthday cards waiting for them on the dining table! The home is beautiful, comfortable and easy walking distance to downtown Cauyucos! She even made many recommendations for the surrounding areas as well. We all found the beds very comfortable and the home very well stocked for all our cooking needs. The back deck is a beautiful place to spend time relaxing and we spent much of our time out there! The tv is downstairs and I am happy to report that because of all that we were able to do and go see and the beautiful deck we didn’t watch one minute of it! We will definitely be returning and hoping this will become a frequent place we visit!

We loved this place! Great location and everything was well thought out.

The cottage is located in a private, peaceful area with lots of birds flying around and a fantastic view. Kitchen amenities, particularly sharp knives, and ample cookware were available. We found a wok in the cabinet where one of our friends could practice his wok tossing skills. Beds were firm and very comfortable. Grocery store, Pioneer Market, is a short drive away. It was a very enjoyable visit.

Lovely home! Great host. We would love to return when we are in the area again. The home felt very spacious and comfortable. It was so quiet and private, just perfect!

Our stay was amazing. The house was easy to find and the instructions were very detailed. Parking was great the whole time but we were there before peak season. The location is unbeatable, perfect for going to and fro from the beach and the restaurants. The space was very inviting and clean. We had everything we needed and more, including beach toys and laundry detergent! We would definitely visit again.

We didn't want to leave. The house was so cozy and the back yard kept is entertained when we were there. the shops were in walking distance and so were some restaurants. It was literally within minutes of everything closer to Morro Rock and the beach where the Kite Festival was being held. We will be booking again!!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage in Los Gatos. The host was friendly, and the accommodation was great. The quiet, peaceful neighborhood is conveniently located near downtown Los Gatos. The check-in and check-out process was smooth. The bed was comfortable, and the TV provided a variety of options. Thoughtful details, such as the motion and humidity sensor in the bathroom and the mini night lights, contributed to our comfortable stay. The laundry facility, stocked with detergent and fabric softener, was also helpful.
