House holiday rentals in Carmel-by-the-Sea

We had friends retreat for 8 people. One of the best houses and client service we experienced. It has everything we needed and more! Everything is new, sparkling clean and high quality. Kitchen is equipped with professional appliances. Location is very close to fun activities, but you easily can stay at home and chill in pool, soaking tub and sauna. We definitely want to book this place again for the next year.

A wonderful and peaceful stay! We loved the serene location and the thoughtful amenities — a perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing escape.

Fantastic location and home for a family get-away. Much to see and do on site and in the local area. The home is very comfortable and welcoming with all the amenities you might need and more. Can’t wait to book again!

We had a wonderful time during our recent stay at Sean's place. The house is so spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the large kitchen; it never felt crowded, even with a few of us in there at once. We also really appreciated how well-equipped the kitchen was with all the pots, pans, plates, and other essentials we needed. Our kids absolutely adored the pool area! It was beautiful and private, and they had so much fun with the basketball hoop. They also loved watching the hummingbirds at the backyard water fountain and the rabbits hopping around in the garden. Overall, we had an amazing stay. Thanks for hosting us!

We had a lovely weekend with our family celebrating a birthday. The place was perfect for hosting 6 of us, walking to the beach and then driving up to Capitola and other towns very close by for celebration dinners. We enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend others to consider for a beach getaway.

Cute house. Would advise driving during daylight tho, the roads are extremely windy and challenging at night. We had a tough time driving up in the dark. The amenities like hot tub were great. House was as described! Easy to use amenities. Would advise bringing a jacket on April.

We loved every moment spent in this house ,especially the cats , the house was very comfortable, clean and cozy, I would definitely recommend this house .

For a great get away this place is fantastic l, Really enjoyed our stay it’s best for staying local and Allison had great recommendations for food and local sites..

We had a beautiful stay. The location is amazing and the views are stunning, perfect for watching the sunset. Its the ideal location for exploring the nearby towns and so much nature. I would highly recommend.

The house is beautiful and very comfortable, and the host is very responsive!

My family came to visit us from out of town and we made the 3 hour trek from Elk Grove to take them to Monterey and Carmel. This was the perfect rest stop for us during our two day stay.

We had such a lovely stay here! The home is beautiful, and our kiddos (2 yo and 4 yo) just love it here as well. We had so much fun eating family dinners on the patio outside, and we also loved watching the sunsets (and the fog roll in) on the front deck. We try to come out to Carmel once a year and this is our second time staying at Holly’s home. We look forward to staying here again for our next trip!

Beautiful property for families and friends alike! The large deck with games and a hot tub let's you really relax and take in the Carmel Valley views. Hosts were very responsive and flexible with our needs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious stay in Carmel Valley!

This place was so beautiful. Great location- private and quiet. Good view of the ocean from the balcony. We also saw a deer and her fawn on the yard as well as various birds. Everything was clean, tidy, and we had everything we needed. Thank you for providing such a great getaway for us!

Fantastic and responsive host in the 17-miles drive. Love the table tennis!

Had an incredible stay. Would recommend it to anyone.

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!

Very beautiful house with lots of space in the living area and beautiful outdoor areas. In a great location, a quick drive or Uber down to Carmel by-the-sea or Monterey. Highly recommend!

Mimi and Alan’s is a wonderful home base in Monterey/Pacific Grove. This was a last minute trip for us & we really lucked out that it was available. The home itself is beautiful, with everything you need in walking distance. We walked to the aquarium, the grocery store, the cute restaurants up the street, & the trail along the ocean to Lover’s Point - so many seals and otters visible along the way! The only little blip that we had, & it’s no one’s fault, is that the kitchen breaker had tripped before our arrival. This wasn’t obvious to us as we hadn’t used anything in the kitchen, except the microwave which remained unaffected. It wasn’t until late in the afternoon the following day that my husband decided to investigate because the fridge was not cold. We did end up having to throw away some of our groceries that we bought upon arrival. If helpful, there are green lights on the outlets that let you know they’re working & breaker box info is thoughtfully included in the house guide.

We loved our 3 day stay here! We spent many hours sitting by the large windows reading while looking out into the ocean and seeing pelicans fly by. Having beach access just by the unit was amazing. The water was cold but it didn’t stop us from wading in to hunt for sea shells and sand dollars. The location is very remote but that was exactly what we wanted. Even though the unit is part of a larger condominium community, we were never disrupted by loud noises or boisterous neighbors. We slept very well and felt completely safe. It was difficult to leave and we stayed till the very last moment we had to leave to check out in time. We can’t wait to return!

We stayed here for our 25th anniversary. The property is absolutely amazing. Very peaceful, relaxing and romantic. I highly recommend staying here if possible. Janiece was very courteous and accommodating. She even reached out to us during our stay to be sure there was nothing we needed. She’s Great..

Perfect spot for a birthday getaway with my family of four. Chris’s home in Pacific Grove is situated ideally for easy access to Carmel, Monterey, and Big Sur. What we also discovered is that PG is a destination in itself—with quality restaurants, a beautiful coastal trail, and unique shops. Chris was a friendly, helpful host-offering us terrific recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. He also was kind enough to let me know we could check in early and check out a bit later, if we needed to. Finally, he was so thoughtful on my birthday, delivering a box of delicious baked goods to me. Chris’s descriptions and photos of his home were accurate; I love the front room’s natural light, the wood floors, the solid wood furniture, and the home’s layout. We didn’t do much cooking, as we wanted to try the restaurants in the area, but it was modern and well-equipped. The beds were very comfy and the shower heads had great water pressure. Top ratings! Thank you, Chris!

Great house rental for a vacation with a group of friends

Absolutely lovely! We really enjoyed our stay at Bri’s! Her place is absolutely beautiful and cozy. I loved the design and thoughtful touches. Perfect space for my spouse, toddler, dog and I.
