Copper Nest beach retreat with stunning views
We had a spectacular visit to Coppers Nest. The house is a marvel from the second to walk the boardwalk to their stairs, and the interior is thoughtful and very well appointed. The complex is quintessential California, with unique architecture, gorgeous flora and fauna, plenty of amenities (pickleball, tennis, bball courts, bocce, etc), all with the constant and soothing pounding of waves and ocean views at every turn. Bryan and Erin were terrific hosts, making sure we had everything we needed while never feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a Monterey Bay vacation.

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
We never wanted to leave! beautiful place, extremely gorgeous surroundings, lots to do nearby, great recommendations from Stefan and all the guests felt like they had the best room. I loved how pelicans would fly by right at eye level, we could pop down the beach in less than a minute, I could look out and see the endless ocean from almost any room, the kitchen was big and bright, and I even saw some whales migrating north!!

The Beach House - On Cayucos Beach
I spend a lot of time in the area and the accomodations at this beach house were superior! Will definitely return. Very nice home.

This place was AMAZING. I didn't want to go anywhere because the views and setting were so beautiful. I just loved walking up and down the beach path and sitting on the deck enjoying observing the surfers. We saw dolphins one day. Both of the living areas (dining room and living room) were positioned so you could enjoy the natural beauty. People were so friendly and the neighborhood was chill- not always what you find in popular destinations. The kitchen is well stocked and the cook enjoys some great views too. We cooked some of the time and ordered in the rest- because who would want to go to a restaurant when you could have a view like this? The home itself is old and has some wear that is expected with a beach front home. The woodwork throughout the home is beautiful and adds a nostalgic feeling. This really is a special place. For us, it was a splurge- but well worth it. I dream about returning. Thank you!

Full Ocean View Cottage!HotTub+Bikes+Srfbrds+Kayak
The location was perfect, less than a block to the beach, with a walkable or bikeable pathway extending in both directions. The house was comfortable, with all of the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. There is construction currently along the beach pathway which unfortunately blocks the view a bit, but hopefully that will be done soon. It didn’t take away from being so close to the beauty, sounds and breeze of the Pacific. Would stay again!

Shore To Please Beach House Oceano Pismo Avila SLO
My children and I loved our stay. It was cozy and the beds were so great to sleep in as well as linens. We loved it! Felt like home. Another plus, were the washers and dryers available to use. We stayed longer than a week and it made it easier and faster to do laundry with 2 washers and dryers available. Amber was very prompt at responding and fixing a couple of issues I encountered during our stay. I would definitely recommend and come back.

Ocean View House Few Steps from Miramar Beach
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. I loved hearing the waves at night. The house was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and I would stay here again. The property is beautiful and close to restaurants, shops, and great walking trails.

Luxury Ocean Front & Harbor View Home
One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve ever had. The view alone is worth it — absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. The house was spotless, super modern, and had little luxuries that made a big difference — like heated floors and even heated toilet seats. If you’re looking for a peaceful, high-end place to unwind in Half Moon Bay, this is it.

Newly remodeled 2 bd room House - Carmel 57
The place was very clean, comfortable and well located to do lots of fun stuff, near the village/ downtown and near a great walking / view area at Los lobos, as well as 17 mile drive.

Oceanfront beach house with private hot tub
One of the best air b n bs! Lots of amenities, fully stocked. We loved our stay!

Cambria by the Sea Near Moonstone beach/park
It's a lovely place and a beautiful house! The house was clean and exactly as described. The beach and a playground are a 3-minute walk from the house, well-suited for our three-year-old. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. The picturesque Bluff Trail is a walk or a short drive, just a few blocks down the road. A 15-minute drive to Elephant Seal Vista Point! We loved the place and would stay here again.

Seascape Ocean Front Villa
Had a great stay! Bjorn replied quickly to messages. The place was beautiful and just as described. Overall we had a wonderful time! Would definitely book again.

La Selva Seaside Sanctuary
Our family had a great time staying here! The condo was beautiful, clean, spacious and stocked with all the supplies we needed! The bedrooms were comfortable and clean with plenty of space, the kitchen was great and we appreciated the coffee bar and pans for cooking. The living room is a fun place to chill and the condo is super close to the pool and tennis courts and the beach! Vincent was friendly and easy to communicate with and check in and check out was very easy. Hoping to stay again in the future!

Relax Watch Waves Crash Chic + Modern 3BD
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.

Bird's Eye View in Cambria, CA
Bird’s Eye View was a beautiful and serene place for my family’s vacation. Spacious, clean, comfortable and close to all the great things Cambria has to offer. Their pet-friendly policies (and town!) made it easy for us to include our pups in this wonderful vacation and we all had a great time. Breen was quick to respond to all my questions and was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this host and rental! If you’re looking for a great place to get away from it all, you’ve found it. Looking forward to our next visit, thanks so much 😍

Blessed Beach House 200 steps from the Ocean
Loved our stay and the proximity to the beach was the best. 5 min walk and beach was great. House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was great to cook in and bbq too. Highly recommend. Loved our time in Monterey exploring Pacific Grove and Carmel and pebble beach.

Beautiful Beach House steps from the Beach
The house is absolutely amazing. It’s a short drive to restaurants and shops. The walk to the beach is only a couple of minutes. The ambiance of the house is warm and cozy. So many amenities were available including the indoor fireplace, the outdoor grill and fire pit, as well as bikes for the family. The outdoor space is perfect for dining. Even though it was a bit cold, the outdoor heater made it warm enough to stay outside at night. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming. Absolutely loved the house and we really hope to come again.

Ocean View River to Sea Beach House
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.

Seaside Sanctuary
Both Jaleh and the location were pretty awesome! We arrived to find that the access information needed some assistance. Jaleh was on it within seconds…literally. When we had questions she was completely responsive. The location was nothing short of a once in a lifetime experience. Great memories made for everyone in our family.

Beach Front House On The Strand. Sleeps 8
A dream beach house ! we had so much fun at the house on the beach and all over pismo. Ideal beach house that you can tell was very loved with lots of character.

Hot Tub - Just Steps to the Beach - Sleeps 12!
This Airbnb met and exceeded all of our expectations! We came for an organization retreat and fully used the property, its amenities, and its ideal location. Would rate this at 11/10 if we could, and would recommend any family or group of friends to book this place as it allowed us to spend meaningful time with each other. Having the beach just steps away was amazing!

Beach Suite
Andrew was a great host who was responsive and proactive. The space was comfortable, quiet and within walking distance of the ocean. The king sized bed was comfortable. There is a small kitenette with a mini-fridge. Parking is on the street in front of the unit. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend this for your visit to Santa Cruz!

Best Beach House Santa Cruz-Opal Cliff Beach House
Joyce’s place was clean and had a really great location. We thought we were right on the Cliff so that was kind of a bummer to have a house in front of our ocean view. But the place was really nice, and very clean! The space was really cool and had great decoration. Beds were comfortable. Kids were happy. We loved playing in the hot tub and in the garden in the backyard.
