Ferienunterkünfte direkt am Strand in Carmel-by-the-Sea

Our family had a wonderful stay here! Plenty of space for the 5 of us, and perfectly located. Just a block away from the coastal path, and easily walkable to restaurants in both Pacific Grove and Monterey. The bedroom with the twin beds is definitely cozy, but it was perfect for my younger two children. The other 2 bedrooms are nicely sized, as are the bathrooms. The neighborhood felt very safe, and it was so nice to have off street parking in the driveway! The house is very well maintained and nicely stocked - we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

The location of the apartment is awesome. We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and excellent view of the beach and ocean. Sleeping with the sound of the ocean waves was such a gift. Patti is lovely and kind with her communications. We did have some issues with the shower and bath sink in one of the bathrooms. We also wished we had paid attention to what was not listed in terms of provisions. For example, you’d have to bring your own coffee, teas, paper towels, and bathroom hand soaps (although napkins and bath soap bars were provided). Overall, a beautiful home at a great location with potentials for some minor improvements which I understand Patti will address in good spirit.

We had the most magical stay at this charming beach cottage! From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by its cozy, welcoming vibe and the peaceful sound of the ocean just steps away. It was the perfect escape- peaceful and beautifully decorated. Huge thanks to Katcha for making us feel so welcome!

Very nice location. Capitola Village is wonderful - beautiful, walkable, excellent dining. Right in the middle of Santa Cruz County. Anything and everything you could wish to do in a California surf town is right there for you to explore and enjoy.

What a peaceful place. We had a great short visit and hope we can come again! The place is even better than the photos. We spent hours watching the birds, ocean and sun set and rise. It was great that we could bring our dog along too!

Perfect spot to hang in between beach and hiking adventures. Has a great enclosed outdoor area for doggos, plus 5 minute walk to the beach. Would definitely rent again.

Laura’s place was spot on for our short stay. Beach was a stones throw away, which is where the kids wanted to spend their time. The place was perfect, it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. Detailed instructions for the apartment to go alongside the stay and useful local information.

Fantastic airbnb and a great location. easy walk to 41st Ave for coffee, food and shopping. We also walked to Capitola, east cliff drive and the beach. Cute backyard, fully fenced, great for our little dogs. We also enjoyed the sauna, comfy living room with a nice TV, board games, and a record player with lots of albums to choose from.

We spent several nights in David’s condo, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I had kind and timely communication with David even before our arrival, and the condo itself was just perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice, it is in a very peaceful, private area and closer to the water than expected. Breathing the ocean air and the sound of waves is so healing. I watched humpback whales breach and dolphins feeding, it was very pleasant to have pelicans flying right past as well. The sunsets were beautiful and it was such excellent viewing at any time of day with 2 deck levels to choose from. You can view the coast from Santa Cruz all the way down to Monterey! The condo is tastefully decorated and spacious, and the beds were extremely comfortable with cozy quilts and pillows. There are comfy throws for your lap and many other homey touches. The condo has so many dishes and pots and pans it’s easy to cook a meal. I can’t wait to stay there again. Thank you David!

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 loved staying at Shelli’s home in Monterey Dunes Colony. Every room was set up nicely and clean, and you could tell Shelli has put a lot of care into the home. There were 7 of us and each family member enjoyed their stay. We love staying at Monterey Dunes Colony because the location can’t be beat. Every home has their quirks but honestly we didn’t find any at Shelli’s. It was comfortable to hang out and enjoy the beach and scenery, and close enough to outdoor activities and the aquarium. The living room is set up comfortably for a big group, while offering privacy too. It was a restful and rejuvenating getaway! We plan to book again.

Great location, great stay. Beautiful and comfortable space. Worked well for our family of 4. The third bedroom felt a little far away to have our littlest stay in alone but thankfully the second bedroom had a large bed for both kids. Wagon and chairs provided were great for the beach.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. It was so peaceful and we felt so at home. We're already planning a return trip!

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).

Janice’s apartment had gorgeous views and was a short walk to a lovely and walkable beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to make easy meals and the whole place was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!

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

Absolutely amazing place. The views were incredible. The place was cozy, clean, and super relaxing. Would definitely recommend as a couple retreat from the world !

This was the perfect house for our family. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfy. The living room on the top floor had amazing views of the ocean. Would highly recommend for a family getaway.

Our family loved this spot. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and the ocean views and fireplace made it a very cozy stay.

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.

First time staying at this area and it was very peaceful. The view from our room was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Megan was an awesome host and would definitely come and stay again.

We had a great week at Jon's place. We were traveling with a 4 year old and a 5 month old. It is tough traveling with young kids and this house was ideal for our traveling circus. The kitchen is spacious, and we loved being able to cook meals for our picky toddler, and having in-unit washer/dryer was so handy. The location was walkable to local shops, restaurants (pretty much any type of food imaginable), coffee shops, and some of the nicest beaches in the area. We are familiar with Santa Cruz and have stayed in a few other neighborhoods and this one so far is our favorite. The house had a pack-n-play for the baby and even sand toys for our toddler (which he was thrilled about). Jon was very responsive, and when we had questions he responded right away. We would definitely stay here again for our next trip to Santa Cruz.

What a beautiful, light-filled space. Lighthouse Field and Westcliff Drive are a short walk away, making for beautiful surroundings and a peaceful stay. The space is clean with green views of the mountains out the windows. The hosts were responsive and helpful! This is the perfect spot to stay for a trip to Santa Cruz.
