Guest house holiday rentals in Monterey

Sarah's place was great, and we truly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and cozy, making it a very comfortable base for our trip. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of snacks in the kitchen – it was a lovely welcome! Parking was a breeze; we found easy street parking, and Sarah even provided a parking pass, which was essential for summer street parking. The location was perfect for us as we were able to walk to the beach, various restaurants, and downtown. We highly recommend Sarah's place and would definitely love to come back on our next visit!

Great little place which was pristine on arrival. Philip was very responsive both before and during the stay. The lodge was very private and great on site parking. Lovely little garden area which was totally private. Slight distance from Main Street in Carmel but once we worked it out was a 20-25 walk downhill. We did get an über back when it was dark but could have walked it up the hill. A great place to stay and was cheaper than Carmel hotels x

My stay in Amy's home was relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. I loved the location - nested against the hills and so close to shops/restaurants. I loved walking the hills in the neighborhood and coming back to a quiet and comfortable space. You are in the backyard of the owners but they are friendly and respectful and the setting is idyllic.

We enjoyed our stay with Jasmine! She was a very friendly host and helped us out with whatever we needed. The petting zoo she has was one our highlights there! Would recommend a stay!

We had a lovely visit in Santa Cruz. We were in town for an event at UCSC and this place worked great for our needs. Erin was lovely and the Airbnb was cute and as described.

Mike and Mary were such wonderful hosts. Their “hidden gem” really is that… a perfect place to have a relaxing and private stay in Santa Cruz while still having easy walkable access to all of downtown. I spent a week here and was able to work remotely in the serene quiet setting, enjoy town, and even tried out some great new spots they recommended. Exactly what I was looking for, but even better than I had hoped!

A great bolt hole, close to Downtown Santa Cuz. It felt like a little oasis of calm, yet close to the restaurants and beaches of the area. So lucky to have stayed in such a wonderful spot and would highly recommend for couples coming to this part of California.

Loved the peaceful tranquility of this spot on a beautiful and quiet street. The location is still very close to tons of restaurants in Los Gatos and Campbell. The hosts were kind and helpful. I loved the bed and slept like a baby thanks to the serene neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Wonderful stay, it was very nice aesthetics and clean overall. Josephine was always quick to respond.

We loved our stay here! The rooms, bed sheets, kitchen, and bathroom were spotless. The decor was charming and thoughtfully done. Our kids especially loved the snack bag the host prepared for us. We’d definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

Martha’s place was perfect for our stay. Very nice and clean. The entire place was updated and in great condition. Clear check in/check out instructions. We would book here again.

This was one of the most beautiful airbnbs we’ve stayed in! The house is gorgeous and the property is so cool - our kids loved all of the animals. Laurel is so communicative and helpful. We truly had the best time!

A great option when staying in Santa Cruz. Clean, quiet, close to everything.

This place was magical! We love staying at air bnbs on this road. It’s very private and the forest is so beautiful. The house had everything we needed. It was cozy and overall a great experience.

Beautiful love shack! My husband and I loved our stay. Loved the outdoor shower!! Felt so nice showering outside. Everything was clean and cozy. Will forever remember our stay here. At the love shack💜

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on the deck above the creek. Surrounded by beauty and the sounds of the creek created a sweet spot! The lighting was an excellent touch. The accommodations had everything that you need and the bed was extremely comfortable! We would stay again!!!

Beautiful views and wildlife. Beautiful house that looked brand new.

The place was cute, clean, updated, and quiet. The TV and AC worked well. The host was friendly, and the instructions were clear. It was a great stay, we would definitely love to come back again!

I had a good time during my stay. It is very quite and clean space. I would love to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dipti's place! She and her husband are both very friendly and were helpful with a request we had when checking in. The unit was very clean, comfortable, spacious for 2 people and enjoyable to be in. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Would definitely stay here again if available.

Our stay here was great! Kitchen had everything we needed and all the appliances worked perfectly. Bathroom shower has ample hot water. The bed was unique in that it was a bit of a loft in a cozy nook. Very comfy and lots of space in the room. There was a small deck with a table and chairs. Perfect place for coffee overlooking a pretty wooded area. There were many walking traiks, state parks and beaches within a 10 mile radius. Grocery stores and restaurants were also nearby. Would definitely stay here again when we're in the area.

My wife and I came here for our honeymoon and had a fantastic time! The guesthouse was very close to both Monterey and Carmel, but far enough removed to be quiet and peaceful. It has a beautiful view from the balcony looking downhill and into the sea, and our host did an excellent job making us feel welcome.

Absolutely wonderful spot in an incredible neighborhood. Safe and quiet, it felt like stepping back in time when leaving the busy city for this hideaway on the edge of the hills. Highly recommended and we will be definitely have it on our short list for return trips!

Another resident in the home practiced guitar very softly somewhere in the house and the music added to the loveliness of the place. We hope to return.
