Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Monterey Bay

This is a beautiful, large house. The primary suite is on one side of the house, another primary on the other side with the other 2 bedrooms and the 3rd bath. Large living room, large dining, kitchen and a very large playroom/rec room/ hangout space, for billiards and games, that can be closed off to the rest the house so you can have different things going on in various large shared spaces. This house had a master suite on one side of the house, another and the other 2 bedrooms on the other side. A large living room, extra large kitchen, dining and family room. And a huge rec room with couches and a billiard table and space for games and fun. We were 4 sets of adults and it worked perfectly. It was walking distance to most everything. Plenty of space and privacy, quiet and very accommodating. I cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful house. Enjoy!

We loved staying at the Postage Stamp. It was the perfect charming cottage in such a beautiful location. The outdoor space was really incredible!! The fire pit was fun for evenings making s’mores and sipping wine. The beds and bedding were all very comfortable. It was perfect for our family of four!

Amazing location near the beach and beautiful home. We especially loved the backyard and patio. The hammock was so comfortable and the boche ball court with sand toys were a hit with our family. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area!

This house fit our needs perfectly. We were able to easily walk to our seminar and cook our own meals in the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Ali’s home. They were very responsive to all questions and requests. The location was perfect, very walkable to downtown and also the boardwalk, but private and peaceful at the same time. A perfect spot to explore and enjoy Santa Cruz!

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!

Great place to stay with kids (even though there is a stairway, so you may have to keep an eye on that). Place is great and has the right amount of things for kids to play with (sometimes it might be too much so kids can create a mess, but it's not the case here. Def place to consider for staying again.

Vic was a wonderful host. We would recommend this location to anyone looking for a quiet safe place to stay while visiting.

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

Very safe, clean, quiet and comfortable room with private en-suite bathroom. Great location just a short drive to downtown Campbell or Los Gatos.

Our stay at Michele’s Airbnb was absolutely lovely, the space was so charming. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the Michele had considered every detail to make guests feel comfortable and cared for. The space was warm, inviting, clean, and it truly felt like a home away from home.

Rainee and Steven are wonderful hosts. They helped us with our luggage and responded promptly to our messages. The home is lovely and fully equipped with everything we needed. We had an unforgettable stay!

My family of 4 visited San Jose for a hockey tournament. This apartment/condo was 5 minutes from arena. Very convenient. Space was clean and perfect for our 3 night stay. We did cook and do laundry quite a bit; wished there was more pods for dishwasher and laundry, and a few extra trash’s bags. Other than that, stay was perfect and would stay again.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Susanne's place! It was located in a quiet neighborhood north of downtown Carmel. While the walk into town takes a little while (~25 minutes downhill to town and ~30 minutes to climb back up to the house), there are lovely cottages and beautiful gardens to admire on the way and a nice path to guide you through the intersections. The home was very well-appointed with plenty of toiletries in the bathroom if you forgot anything and lots of books/records/DVDs to entertain yourself in the evenings. In the kitchen, Susanne has provides snacks and tea/coffee. Unfortunately, a guest before us damaged the electric kettle by placing it on the hot plate. However, I notified Susanne and she responded quickly and had a new kettle waiting on the porch the next morning. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and cozy trip to Carmel!

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.

Daniel's place is a super nice spot for a couple or two individuals that know each other well. Its in a very walkable area with plenty to walk to. The balcony is super nice to sit on and chill. Kitchen is fully stocked and good to go. Overall it was a nice place to stay and we had a great time. If its colder weather (it was high 50s to mid 60s) you will need to rug up inside.

this was a wonderful place, amazing views and very peaceful relaxing bday trip would love to come back

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 an amazing stay at Ahnalisa’s beautiful home in Monterey! The place was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning — waking up to them every morning was a treat. It’s also in a perfect location: peaceful, yet just a short and easy walk to everything we wanted to explore. Ahnalisa was a wonderful host and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Monterey!

Marc’s beach view condo was absolutely beautiful. Spent a girls weekend there and it was very comfortable for three people. Kitchen was fully stocked, fireplace was nice and cozy. He was very flexible with our check-in time. I highly recommend this place if you’d like a peaceful location & quite beautiful ocean view. This is a perfect location in between Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel.

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!

Amazing host, super responsive and friendly. Could not ask for a better spot to stay in Capitola!

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Just go and let Aaron be your host! You will not be disappointed. Aaron was very accommodating, and can’t wait to return to the Harbor House.
