Holiday rentals with a kayak in Monterey Bay

The location was perfect, less than a block to the beach, with a walkable or bikeable pathway extending in both directions. The house was comfortable, with all of the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. There is construction currently along the beach pathway which unfortunately blocks the view a bit, but hopefully that will be done soon. It didn’t take away from being so close to the beauty, sounds and breeze of the Pacific. Would stay again!

This was the first air bnb i’ve ever stayed and it was great. the view was beyond beautiful. There was so many things offered to us like boogie boards, board games, and other family fun. Definitely recommend staying here. It’s so peaceful, you can hear the waves crashing from the ocean while sitting on the couch. I will definitely be returning!!

We had a phenomenal stay! The serene gardens surrounding the property are exceptionally well cared for, providing a peaceful escape from any unwanted noise. You can enjoy the most beautiful sunset views here. I cannot express enough how wonderful Marc is! When we arrived in the evening, he prepared a charcuterie board and offered us wine and blankets, allowing us to comfortably relax outdoors while taking in the scenery. In addition to his delicious and beautifully prepared breakfasts, he stocked our room with fresh local berries, chocolates, and water. He even started the fireplace for us each evening. We have stayed in many places around the world, but Marc is truly the best host we’ve encountered! He treats guests like a considerate, generous, and welcoming friend. While Marc respects guests’ privacy, we found ourselves looking forward to our conversations with him. If you’re looking for tranquility nestled in beautiful surroundings with the most gracious host, this is it!

What a nice eclectic Santa Cruz spot. Our stay was awesome. The location was great and the house was comfortable and clean. The garden is beautiful. Host was very accommodating. Thanks

When we arrived the maid was parked in the driveway and still cleaning the house. She came running out when i said "whos cars this?" Because depending on how you park, the driveway will fit 2 small cars. This house is beautiful. I don't want to leave. there's a view from both sides of the house & up stairs. it right across the street from twin lakes beach. the windows set up is very updated. the skylight actually open and the have shutters that open & closes by pushing a button. Also I love the fact that there's tvs in every room. The only things I would add is more body mirrors and bigger pots and pans. Other than those 2 things the place is perfect. oh & maybe a bathtub. But the showers are beautiful too. The hotub is in a location where you can see the ocean ,but the street can't see you. I highly recommend this House. We would definitely stay here again.

Was a beautiful home in walking distance to the beach and the town of Carmel by the sea. Would love to stay again the next time we visit. Was perfect for our family of four.

This place was AMAZING. I didn't want to go anywhere because the views and setting were so beautiful. I just loved walking up and down the beach path and sitting on the deck enjoying observing the surfers. We saw dolphins one day. Both of the living areas (dining room and living room) were positioned so you could enjoy the natural beauty. People were so friendly and the neighborhood was chill- not always what you find in popular destinations. The kitchen is well stocked and the cook enjoys some great views too. We cooked some of the time and ordered in the rest- because who would want to go to a restaurant when you could have a view like this? The home itself is old and has some wear that is expected with a beach front home. The woodwork throughout the home is beautiful and adds a nostalgic feeling. This really is a special place. For us, it was a splurge- but well worth it. I dream about returning. Thank you!

It was a wonderful place to stay. Very private. Can't say there was a negative. The home, yard and view more than met our expectations. I will definitely recommend this home.

This is our second stay at this property. We occupied two units. There is always plenty of space, and it was clean and ready to go. We enjoyed the little details: plush towels, the “nice” TP, etc :) Thanks for hosting us - we’d come back if you’ll have us.
