Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Monterey Bay

This home is just like the photos. It is roomy, the kitchen is terrific, and the back patio is great for kids. The house is in a quiet neighborhood not far from downtown. Easy parking. Recommend strolling San Benito Street for restaurants, coffee shops, and outdoor dining!

We loved staying at the Postage Stamp. It was the perfect charming cottage in such a beautiful location. The outdoor space was really incredible!! The fire pit was fun for evenings making s’mores and sipping wine. The beds and bedding were all very comfortable. It was perfect for our family of four!

The Beach House was exactly as described - tastefully remodeled while retaining the classic Aptos Beach bungalow vibe. Very thoughtfully prepared with outdoor games and items you would need for a beach getaway. The outdoor area and backyard are cleverly organized for everything you would want. I just wish we could have stayed longer (and had warmer weather!). Lots of great information in the folder for things to do and places to eat. Kudos!!

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Ali’s home. They were very responsive to all questions and requests. The location was perfect, very walkable to downtown and also the boardwalk, but private and peaceful at the same time. A perfect spot to explore and enjoy Santa Cruz!

The house was very clean and had plenty of amenities. The photos were accurate and the host was very responsive.

Wonderful host. I have very high standards on cleanliness, and chose this rental for that reason. Carolyn and team exceeded my expectations. We loved having a fireplace during some considerably cold Monterey area days. Beds are super comfortable. We appreciated being within easy walking distance to grocery stores. Great central location to access all the best attractions of the area. Would definitely stay again.

Came to the Bay Area for my sister surgery down at good Samaritan . Which was only five minutes away. This house was perfect for 3 adults. all bed are comfortable and the fact that they were king size beds all three was a plus. House was super clean and looked like the pictures. It's a corner house next to a main Street so I appreciate the fact that they had earplugs if you're a light sleeper. We will be back.

Totally worth every penny. 2.5 baths were very helpful for 6 people. Neat rooms. Very organized. Laundry pods dishwasher pods were also provided. Very thoughtful of what is needed. Made us want to return to airbnb after a tiring day. I think that is all you need when you are away from home.

Thank you for opening this wonderful home for us to stay. It was spotless, comfortable and a wonderful spot to cozy away in the rain and soak up the sun a few days later. Appreciated the easy parking and outdoor deck-with space to store a surfboard. It was a perfect getaway for this newly empty-nester couple and now our new favorite spot!

This two person apartment was a wonderful stay! Michele was a wonderful host and gave even more wonderful recommendations! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a quiet and peaceful getaway.

Rainee’s home was very comfortable. Such a beautiful, cozy place to stay in — very quiet and peaceful area. Host was also very friendly, understanding and responsive. We definitely enjoyed our stay, and would gladly return.

This is one of the most beautiful properties you could ever stay at. Peaceful, serene, and beautifully maintained. It is two thousand feet up and the views are spectacular. The hosts were very responsive and proactive and made me feel right at home and are the most kind people that has ever hosted me. I have found my new place to stay when working in San Jose.

Peaceful and quiet. Bed was comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

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.

Luxury apartment in the heart of Capitola Village! We really enjoyed our stay!

Amazing views of the Pajaro River and the ocean. Perfect place for wildlife viewing. We enjoyed the comfortable seating area with panoramic coastline views through the large picture windows. There's also a nice deck attached to the living room and master bedroom.

This was the cleanest AirBnB we've ever stayed in! Pristine! Tidy! Stunning ocean views from both the living room & primary bedroom. The entire villa has been remodeled yet still has the Old World Charm and coziness. This Villa is located on the 2nd floor of North Bluff - is very private - has a pool jacuzzi just steps away. The resort offers many amenities, restaurant, bar, room service (or pick up) massage, sauna - endless. Aptos Village is right across the street - walking distance offering many shops, market and a great place for pizza and Italian food. We will definitely stay with Sue again - as soon as we can! Next time, we'll try her other property #33. Sue is a GREAT hostess in every area and has earned Super Host many times over!

What a lovely place with stunning views. Appointed to the highest level with a wellstocked kitchen. Lots of food options to eat within only a few minutes walk from the penthouse. Two ways to access the place via back gate with security code or through front door and elevator If you prefer a very dark bedroom/s you won’t get that here so luckily I had my eyepatch to knock me out. You might pay a pretty penny for this place, but you will definitely notice it better than just about anything you could ever hope to find

We really enjoyed our stay at Marc’s lovely beach rental. Everything was as described, Marc sent clear messages regarding check in and necessities provided. Location was central to a lot of the day trips we had planned, (Monterey Bay Aquarium, Carmel/Point Lobos, and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk), but still off the beaten path offering a restful private retreat. My daughter enjoyed riding her bike around the pond path. Marc offered a very nice assortment of beach gear and toys. The beds were better than most, and I appreciated the queen/twin combo room instead of a typical twin/twin offering in the second bedroom. I really appreciated the well stocked kitchen, sharp knives and pantry basics. In the future I would pack a few pans since the non stick cookware was pretty beat. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend.

Loved this place! Right by Capitola wharf so it was super easy to walk downtown for dinner and shopping. The apartment was bigger than I expected, super clean, and had everything we needed. Jennifer was very helpful and got back to us right away when we had questions. Definitely staying here again next time we visit!

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).

We liked this place so much that we returned for the second year for our winter getaway. The space is ample for a couple and the furnishings very comfortable. There are restaurants and coffee shops in easy walking distance and the beach is also just two blocks away. Aaron is always ready to help

Beautiful little place, with picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean and natural landscaping. Clean, comfortable and easy access. Lots of security that patrolled day and night, which is nice. Fine dining restaurant is within walking distance.
