Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Monterey

Really appreciated the stay, and was great overall! Lots of nice touches, amazing location, and very helpful host.

Just the place we needed to do the Big Sur Marathon!

Truly enjoyed our stay and experience at Dave & Lee's place. Incredibly responsive and friendly hosts. I was in town for the Big Sur marathon and received a TON of useful info from them. The house was perfect for our family with two small children (1 and 3 years old). The bed and pillows in primary were very comfortable. Everything was very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cooking supplies. The house rules and checkout procedures were reasonable and easy. All in all it was a great Airbnb experience, and I recommend staying here on your next visit to the area. Thanks again!

We had a great stay! Five of us coworkers shared the house, and it accommodated us perfectly. Everyone was comfortable, we all slept well, and there was plenty of space for getting ready in the mornings. The home is charming with a cute beach-themed decor. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, and Janiece provided clear, detailed instructions that made check-in and the stay smooth. We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our short stay in Santa Cruz & this home was in the perfect location for us. Although not warm enough for beach weather, we enjoyed the sunset & views + a super close walk to the beach. Kids enjoyed the Boardwalk & that was also a short walk away. The house was adorable - so nicely renovated & decorated. Beds were really comfy - everyone slept well! The private & secure parking was a nice plus. We hope to come back & would definitely stay here again!

This house was great for our family of four. We had plenty of space, the kitchen was well equipped, and the outside area gave the kids a nice place to play. Our toddler especially enjoyed the Thomas train set in his room! This is a lovely area of Santa Cruz too - easy walk to the beach and Boardwalk.

I took my young nephews and their parents to go to Santa Cruz Boardwalk for their spring break . Rex’s house is just perfect fit for us, just like staying with a friend or relatives house , very homey, enough space for a group . We enjoyed walking to downtown and have a bite to eat and drinks for adults . Bed and linens are super comfortable. Thanks Rex

Amazing stay at the Wave house! It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the location, it was close to everything. Greg was very helpful. This beautiful home was definitely worth it!

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.

Perfect for our anniversary weekend! The place was very spacious and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Everything was clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully set up. The images helped locate the parking. As long as you know what the exterior of the building looks like then you’ll easily locate the parking area behind. The parking entrance was narrow but wasn’t difficult to maneuver. Overall, a great experience and would definitely visit again!

We loved our stay and hope to stay here again in future. Wonderful neigborhood- lots to walk to and close to UCSC.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated that it is independently owned, including the community activism to give back. The location was great, we were able to walk to the beach for dinner; and a short drive to the college and other areas.

Dan’s place was walkable to all the places we wanted to visit. Parking definitely a plus! Dan is such a great host and very accommodating. Had a wonderful stay.

Nice to have 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, nice living room and very clean. There is an office and people outside a lot early, but we had places to go, so didn't bother us.

A lovely comfortable place. Loved the decor and the great light from all the windows. Centrally located close to the beach, boardwalk, parks, and restaurants. The place was spacious and met all our needs. We will definitely return for another stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s condo! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kristina was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this Airbnb – we’d definitely stay here again!

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 such a relaxing time! So close to the beach, loved being able to walk out the door and be at the ocean. We could hear the waves at night. Sunsets were beautiful. The condo was perfect for us, had everything we needed! Great place to stay!

The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

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

This is our second time at Sally's Seaside Condo. Wescrutinized different units and we came back to this one for several reasons - of course, Sally is great to work with, very responsive and helpful. The key amenity is the view - we love the sunset from this unit ... April through the summer from this unit. The view is indeed the killer feature. Everything All the rest is gravy - the unit is setup very comfortable for a weekend stay, walking to restaurants across the street, walking to the beach, hot tub, etc..

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.

We really enjoyed our stay, the home was beautiful and very clean. Easy check-in/access with responsiveness from the host. Views were beautiful with great restaurants within a short distance. Our only disappointment was the second bedroom not having the bunk bed setup that was indicated/pictured at our time of booking last year. We made due but would have preferred it as shown when we booked. Would stay again and recommend to others!
