Pink Venetian (Upper Unit)
Beautiful place right on the beach. Fully remodeled unit and very clean. Fully stocked kitchen. Our family had a great time staying at this unit. Already planning to come back in couple of months.

Oceanview Condo - StepstoBeach Surfboards\Bikes
We loved this place it was perfect!! Right in the heart of the Capitola action! Everything and more! so glad we found this gem at the last minute. Great set up for our short weekend passing through to Oahu. 🌈🌴

This is our first time in Capitola, and my husband and my twin boys enjoyed the unit and the surroundings so much! You can see the ocean view through the bedroom, grab some snacks, and sit on the balcony. Then, you can just go downstairs and walk across the street to the ocean! This unit has a private parking place, so you can just drive and park there easily. Moreover, the restaurants and the shopping store are just a one-minute walk away. All you can do is relax here!!

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape
We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

Evan and David were bother very helpful and responsive to my questions. The spot was nice and convenient walk to the beach. Enjoyed the stay and would book again in the future.

Cannery Row Bungalow
Ann's place is awesome for exploring Monterey and the surrounding areas. It was great not having to worry about paying to park downtown. Everything you'd want to do is within walking distance, from the beaches to shopping and dining to the Aquarium. Ann was very accommodating and allowed for an earlier check in which was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!!

Top Oceanfront 1BR Stunning View
Had a great stay here! The location was perfect, right next to the beach where we spent most of the time. The place itself was clean and tidy with plenty of room. Will definitely stay here again!

Seascape Beach Resort condo with ocean view
Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

Riverview Beach Bungalow
The location was even better than expected with a 2-3 min walk to Capitola village. The place is smaller, but you don’t feel it at all! Very well laid out and use of space everywhere! Outdoor front and back are amazing. Bonus to find a cart and a few chairs and cooler in the shed. To take to the beach. The only thing missing was something to paddle on the river and maybe a few more games or cards. The place is super clean, very cute and I would definitely stay again.

Pacific Breeze at La Selva Beach
Great place to stay. I love to cook and this place was great for that. Definitely one of the better equipped kitchens I’ve ever found at an Air BnB. Both Keurig and traditional drip coffee makers, great stove top with griddle incorporated, and my favorite, the LUXURY level Waffle Iron (I might have to get one!). Can’t think of any “tool” that we wanted while cooking that I couldn’t find. Location is great wrt surfing as several of our family enjoy. Very impressed to see wet suits in the supply room, although I guess that’s got to be a standard for the West coast (most of my beach time has always been in south Florida, so no comparison there). The only thing I can critique - the easiest exit from the home to the beach goes through the bathroom of the lowest level of the house. Wasn’t a major issue, but we had one day where shower timing and beach access needs were not coordinated. Outdoor stairs are right outside unit but ya gotta remember the key!

Seascape Ocean Front Villa
Beautiful location, very clean and place was perfect for me and my family. Will be booking again

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!
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!

Oceanfront Beach House overlooking the Boardwalk
This house is absolutely perfect for a family trip to Santa Cruz. it had everything we needed and the location is unbeatable! The only thing I would change is there not being a large enough table for everyone to sit down for meals. Other than that, brilliant.

Adorable Sea House
Dean’s place was great in terms of location, size and privacy. We’re familiar with pacific grove/monterey area so we knew what we were looking for. The house has (2) bathrooms which is great and appreciated as (1) bathroom abnb in the area are commonplace but with more than 3 people it’s great to have 2. House is located directly across from ocean walking path. You cross street and you are on the water-10 min walk to aquarium, cannery row, 10 min walk the other direction and you’re at lovers point restaurant. 10 min walk to downtown PG for many restaurants. Clean house, would stay there again for sure. Wife and I were there this time with 17yo nephew, 14yo and 12 yo sons. Plenty of space.

7 Pelican Point Oceanfront Views & Beach Access!
Affordable, very close to the beach and a beautiful view

180°OceanView+HotTub+EBikes+Surfboards+SUPS+Kayak
Evan's place provides the best views of the ocean and is located close to multiple beach waves points. The electric bikes made for great fun, as we rode all over town. It was a great place, for a great price. A true million dollar view, especially from the decks. Highly recommend to people of all ages.

Seascape Oceanview Luxury 2B w/theater walk2beach
I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. You can really tell they care about their guests and take pride in providing a great experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay. Thank you for everything!

One of a kind full River and Ocean view!
Amazing views of the Pajaro River and Pacific Ocean. Short walk (300 yards) to the beach along a boardwalk or enjoy the views from the livingroom through the large picture windows or deck. Perfect for a couple or young family (the two twin beds in the second bedroom are quite small but my 20 something daughters had no complaints). Abundant bird watching opportunities along with the occasional sea lion\seal and otter.

Condo in Seascape Beach Resort
Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

Beachfront Condo in Watsonville, CA
We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It’s absolutely perfect and has everything you could possibly need. We were especially delighted to find chopsticks, which totally made our day since we were planning to have ramen and thought we’d have to use forks! The view from the condo is stunning, like something out of a movie, and it was such a treat to have easy access to the beach. Watching the sunset was one of the highlights of our trip. The host was very responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions for everything, from check-in and check-out to using the washer. The check-in process with the gate attendant was smooth and made us feel extra secure. Everything was super clean and thoughtfully prepared. We stayed at several Airbnbs along Route 1, and this one was undoubtedly the best. Highly recommend!

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
My family of 4 had a wonderful stay! The pictures didn't do it justice - all the upgrades were well worth it and my family thoroughly enjoyed the stay there. My was very responsive and helpful. So glad we found it! Would definitely stay there again.

Spectacular Ocean View- Heated Pool & Spa Seascape
Had a wonderful time at this Seascape 1 bedroom unit. It has all the comforts of home plus an amazing view of the ocean. It was well stocked with everything you need. Tyler was very responsive when I needed help with the television remote control. Without a doubt one of the best places to stay in the area.

Royal Villa - Ocean View - Heated Pools - Seascape
Amazing views and walk to the beach. Beautiful beach! Perfect condo with lots of great touches like the bidet, and cutco knives.

Beachfront Paradise Pajaro Dunes Pelican Point
