Cottage holiday rentals in Monterey

Booked last minute- was very pleasantly surprised! Even better than photos! Location was easy to find (drive in late at night) very easy to check in. Very walkable to everything- beach was a few blocks! Great location to get to the middle of town in no time at all. The private patio space with the hot tub was so amazing after a beach day. I will for sure be booking this place again! Also Liza was super helpful and easy to reach if I had any questions. Book here - it’ll exceed expectations!

We love it so much we returned and plan to make it an annual tradition. It's peaceful, well priced and a complete delight!

Our family of four, loved Shari’s place and we’d definitely stay again. It’s one of those good-vibes Airbnbs where you can tell a lot of love goes into the setup and maintenance. We loved the hot tub for relaxing together — under a beautiful magnolia tree — and my partner and I were able to take a couple work calls in privacy in the spotless studio. Also, everything just works … coffee works, all the TVs were easy to use, and it was easy to get in and out. Thank you for a great stay Shari!

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!

A magical sanctuary! We loved every minute of our stay and the only negative part was that we had to leave. The location is epic- walk anywhere, restaurants, beach, UCSC, downtown, coffee shops. The hot tub is totally private and the place has a very homey feel. The lot is beautiful. Would stay here again.

We absolutely loved the location, the balcony and front porch looked directly at the ocean. The kitchen was fully stocked and loved having the laundry available. The backyard was closed in to let our dog out in the early morning. We will definitely be back.

We loved our stay! Great location in walking distance to town, perfect & peaceful house with everything we needed, as pictured. Host was kind and responsive.

By far one of the best and most comfortable place my family has stayed at. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked which was especially nice. Simple and clear rules and instructions for checking in and out; would absolutely return here if we vacation in this area in the future.

Carmel River Inn is exceptional! I have stayed here many times and it's always an excellent experience! Beautiful grounds, beautiful, quite,peaceful with a babbling brook behind it!! you can't go wrong, highly recommend it,easy access to many great restaurants and shopping

We loved our stay at Gabriel’s cottage! It was perfect for a long weekend with our kiddo. Fully stocked kitchen and laundry room really helped make everything run smoothly for us. Beds were comfy, neighborhood was calm and welcoming, and just a quick walk down to the beach. It was exactly what we needed! We would love to stay again on our next trip down.

Cozy updated cabin in beautiful area. Very clean and bed was comfortable. Check in was also very easy. Would definitely stay again. :)

What a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The surrounding redwoods are beautiful! The home was very cozy with attractive decor. It was both comfortable and clean. The location was great and close to State Parks, Roaring Camp redwood forest steam train and a shopping center. SC is about 20 minutes away, so convenient as well. The host Lynn was courteous and friendly which added to our positive experience. Hope to be back again sometime! Thank you!

We loved our stay in this beautiful home! We LIVED in that back yard with its fairy garden, kid activities, and fire pit. We had a magical time! We made several meals in a small but full stocked kitchen, loved the porch and could have stayed for longer. It was true relaxation! Thank you!!!

Cute and quaint place! Very cottage-y but there was enough space for our small group.

Cute clean cottage and responsive hosts. Recommend!

Looked for a place that would accomodate our family of 10 for Christmas and have some flexibility. That expectation was met and then some. Communications were proactive and there were just a couple of suggestions we could make. I do not receive email on my phone, check in code arrived while I was flying and with phone numbers we were able to get code sent to my phone for our after 4pm arrival. So appreciated the size and location - walking was relaxing, educational (flora and fauna) and we were only 6 minutes from the beach. Took a bit to find the garbage, recycle and yard debris containers but otherwise clean up was easy. There were 2 fridge/freezers the one in the kitchen was not cold enough for groceries or ice cream but the smaller one in the dining room worked fine.

Great spot close to the water and easy to access, park and walk to and from.

From start to finish, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thea and Stefano were helpful and attentive hosts. We highly recommend you treat yourself to a stay with them! They have thought of every detail, so you don’t have to!
