Cottage holiday rentals in Monterey

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!

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.

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

This cottage was the perfect getaway for a long weekend with friends and a small dog. The bathroom was super clean, and we enjoyed hanging out in the front yard and being able to walk to the beach and shops, etc. Gabriel was super responsive, helpful and friendly! Will definitely be returning.

This was the perfect little place for our family of 4! The house had everything we needed and had beautiful surroundings. Our daughters loved the porch swing out front. We saw hummingbirds right outside the kitchen window where the feeder was hanging. We cooked all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen. The organic coffee was very appreciated! Wish the queen bed mattress was a little firmer (was lumpy & soft- not great for those with bad backs) but overall very happy with our stay!

Thank you Tamara for sharing your lovely home. We had a great time in the area and your house was the perfect place to return to after a long day at the beach or hiking in the local redwoods. The beds were comfortable with plenty of linens and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed barbecuing for dinner while enjoying the great view from the backyard deck. We would definitely recommend your house and the area to others!

Beautiful cottage in Carmel Valley. All the amenities you could want. Feels like home. Super convenient for visiting family in the area for us. Thank you!

Wow where to even begin! We stayed here for my son’s birthday/ Mother’s Day. This place was beyond what I expected, my family LOVED the little cottage and the gorgeous views of the ranch. We also enjoyed that we were able to really walk around outside and see the animals, my son especially enjoyed Russel the cat greeting us. The sound of the frogs at night was actually quite pleasant as well… The location was truly amazing, tucked up away from the busy city, surrounded by stunning vineyards. The house was clean, welcoming, & cozy. Check in was really easy, and communication was quick and friendly. It felt nice knowing their caretaker Samantha was on the property. Cheryl greeted us the morning we were leaving, I’m glad we got to meet her! She was very cool & very sweet. 🥰 Barlocker’s is definitely a one of a kind GEM 💎 We are still reminiscing 💗 In hopes to come back again 🤞🏽

Peaceful place and his directions were clear. Would definitely recommend.

We absolutely fell in love with this area and this little cottage is the perfect catalyst that started it all. Location is perfect and walkable to all that we wanted to do. My husband and I felt right at home and had an amazing time. Would love to stay here again!

Great stay and Pilar and Chris were very helpful with local recommendations. Would stay again

Had a little difficulty entering communicated with the host, he was very helpful and made it very easy and accessible moving forward! Over all, it was very quiet out the way space exactly what we were looking for!

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

The location is fabulous! Two blocks from downtown Pacific Grove, several more blocks to Lover's Point. The host was super sweet! She brought over binoculars for us to use and extra towels when requested. Several coffee places within walking distance. A fabulous bakery Pavel's and a 5 star restaurant Fandango's just a few blocks away. The place is full of light which I love. If you need darkness to sleep, advise bring your own blackout curtains. We also walked to Monterey Bay Aquarium. You can walk to Fisherman's Wharf but you can also take the bus. We also did 17 mile Drive, went to Carmel and whale watching. It was a magical trip.

This is a beautiful place to stay. It’s secluded and quiet with big windows with really pretty views. We did many Point Lobos hikes and sightseeing along the coast. We went to cute dinners, an orchestra, and the farmers market in downtown Carmel. The Airbnb is easy to drive to and easy to check into. Friendly Naomi and Anina are very helpful and can suggest the best activities. The Airbnb kitchen has just about everything you would need to cook nice meals and is kept at a comfortable temperature. We had a great stay thanks to Naomi!

Cozy Corralitos has a garden filled with a wide variety of plants. The lemon and other citrus trees had an abundance of fruit. Many different birds were on site. The house was clean and comfortable with a well provisioned kitchen . Melissa was gracious and quick to reply when I had a question. The neighborhood is very quiet.
