Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Monterey Bay

This house is awesome for family adventures. It had every possible amenity for a vacation getaway you could need. The house was spotless upon our arrival and well-organized, with a detailed list of items available to ensure you had a great time. The Pacific Ocean is viewable from the second floor porch which seated six comfortably around the propane fire pit. There were many toys available for families traveling with children. Our toddler granddaughter really enjoyed playing with the many toys. The kitchen was well stocked with modern appliances. The location was just a few minutes' drive to downtown Monterey and Fisherman's Wharf. We absolutely recommend this Airbnb house in the Monterey area. Our host Meli was awesome. She communicated with us from the time we made the reservation until we left. Her instructions for the house were clear and concise. We contacted her twice while we were there and she responded to our questions within minutes. Meli is a top-notch host.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hummingbird (and saw hummingbirds at the feeders in the back yard). There were 6 of us (including our 2 teenagers and my parents) and it was comfortable and peaceful. The garden in the back is a work of art! We loved looking at how beautiful everything was placed and masterfully pruned. Very lovely and reminded me of being in Japan. My 14-year old son said it was his favorite place because of the granola bars, Ramen, and hot chocolate Shiho graciously stocks for guests. And the kitchen had all the little things you wish you had when you’re away from home, like sandwich baggies and a plastic spoon for your lunch. We made all our meals and ate at home every night. She had everything we needed to make meals. Shiho is a lovely hostess and has thought through little things to make your stay pleasant. The sheets were so soft. Plenty of towels in the bathroom and everything was spotless. We felt at home and would love to stay there again.

Love this place! Will definitely come back!

A million Mahalos Vic and Leanne. We had an amazing time at your place in the Redwoods. First I want to say WOW, not only was this place clean, it was spotless. We felt like we were the first people who've ever stepped foot in the air bnb. Vic and Leanne had everything thing we needed and beyond. They really took their time when they put this place together. Their kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed to put our meals together and the grocery store was only a few minutes away. Via and Leanne also had a ton of wonderful tips in their welcome binder. The prime location of Vic and Leanne's place made daily trips to Henry Cowell state park a must. Vic and Leanne are amazing hosts who made my family feel welcome and right at home. This place is heaven in the Redwoods for sure. Aloha Vic and Leanne!

The home was so beautiful, it felt like we were transported to somewhere far!! The hosts were very accommodating and there are so many extra cherry-on-top touches that made the stay so lovely. I would definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance!

This beach bungalow is fabulous ! The home is clean, comfortable and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing getaway! The outdoor patio is a bonus living room! The location has a nice ocean view and easy access to walks along the beach. Heather is a great host! The recommendations provided are very helpful and spot on! Will definitely book this wonderful gem for our next visit to Santa Cruz!

Mina’s house is absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!

The house was great! The neighborhood was peaceful and felt very private. The view from the balcony by the dinning table had to be my favorite thing. Got to enjoy both breakfast and dinner with a nice view of a small part of the ocean and the lights glowing from Monterey as it is across the small part of the ocean that you can see from the balcony, separating the cities. The place is close within a 20min drive to several other locations such as Monterey, Old Fisherman’s Wharf, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Lover’s Point Beach. Felt right at home, would definitely go back.

Matthew was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The space itself was very clean and in a peaceful location, with some great hiking trails nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

We have stayed at many beach hotels and apartments and this may have been the best. Beautiful view of the beach, which is pretty quiet. And you can walk on the beach for a couple of hours in either direction. Also really enjoyed the location in Watsonville, which is the strawberry capital of the US. And nice to have Monterey and Santa Cruz nearby. Communicaiton with Pajaro Dunes was very good and helpful. Look forward to coming back.

I had a wonderful stay, Jeff was so helpful arranging a last-minute trip and was a fantastic host. The studio was very quiet and peaceful and I enjoyed spending time on the patio in the back. It was a great place to spend some time in the Carmel area.

A very peaceful and relaxing place. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought into making the place comfortable and full of amenities. A very warm welcoming vibe upon entry, we (2 adults 1 kid) settled in immediately and felt right at home. We hope to be back again soon. Thank you!

Perfect location, nice layout inside, Junipero St north of 5th has easy overnight parking and there is 10min parking around the corner. The staff and food at Toro sushi downstairs are wonderful. Sound travels within and to/from outside the place but it was quiet and peaceful at night. It can get both chilly and hot in the place but there are extra heaters and blankets and a nice ocean breeze with the door open.

We had a great stay here! The place is cozy, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, which made meals easy during our visit. It’s also conveniently located near kid-friendly attractions like Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, The Tech Interactive, and the Children’s Discovery Museum—great for our family trip.

Best spot in Capitola to stay & play,we will come again! The host is responsive, and the home is high quality while being comfortable too!

My family and I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean and well-maintained, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The view was absolutely stunning and added a special touch to the experience. On top of that, the host was outstanding—extremely responsive and genuinely committed to ensuring a great stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate any needs, which made everything seamless. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful spot. Quality home in a beautiful location. Very peaceful beach - great for families. We made a fire on the beach for s'mores. The pool/spa was busy but well maintained.

Excellent stay , beautiful and very clean home . Lijun is super fast in responding to queries.

Great View and Weather!

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

The home is large with many decks for enjoying the beautiful mountain top views. We were in town for a wedding and had 7 people in our group: 2 couples and 3 singles. The sleeping and bathrooms worked out great and included using the Murphy bed in the large living room and the guesthouse. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pans, knives, flatware… everything you need. The beds were comfortable and the bedding and towels were nice. The home is a little dated, it’s exactly what you see in the pictures, and was a great place at a reasonable price for our large group.

Lots of space and well stocked. Thanks for a great stay!

BeaUtiful grounds, comfortable bed.
