Vacation rentals in Marina

This was, by far, the best air bnb we have ever stayed in. In addition, Kim and Pam were fantastic and couldn’t have made our stay any better. They thought of everything to make a couple or family feel right at home. Everything was spotless, plenty of basics such as towels, linens, blankets to make your stay so cozy. And the beds, they were heaven. Great night’s sleep is definitely to be had. We used the fireplace inside when we arrived as it was chilly. Just perfect touch. Walk in shower is great. So nice to have two bathrooms, one with tub. Walking distance to beach. We went there every day with our dog. Very dog friendly area; you will encounter many daily. We appreciated the privacy and fenced yard, lovely entertaining area and the hammock was great. I highly recommend cloud gazing. Thank you, Kim and Pam for a truly memorable stay. We had the best time and you helped make it that way :)

Had a fabulous stay here and will absolutely be returning. The cottage is tucked away off the road which makes it feel really peaceful and private. It has a great outside patio that gets the sun. The cottage itself was comfy, cozy and has everything you need. It is a super quick walk down to the water. We cannot wait to come again!

Every detail of this home was incredibly well thought out. There’s truly nothing you’ll need, it’s fully stocked with everything from games for the kids to all the cooking utensils you could want, and the beds are extremely comfortable. The patio and entry garden are absolutely stunning. The decor is perfect; every little detail was considered, and it really shows. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish- what a treat. I’m going to go home and redecorate with a Hawaii theme 😏

We loved staying here. Easy access to restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. The duplex was beautifully decorated, private and easy to find. The fully equipped kitchen was a dream to cook in. There were good quality dishes, cooking utensils and pots and pans. Every thing was squeaky clean. But the lovely fenced garden space was like a private little slice of heaven. The duplex is a small space but very efficiently and comfortably arranged. Carolyn has thought of everything you could possible want. This is the best experience we have ever had in 10years of AirBnB-ing. Thank you Carolyn, if we ever get back to Pacific Grove we will definitely want to stay at your beautiful place.

We stayed here for about a week and loved it! The place was spotless when we arrived and looked exactly like the pictures (maybe even slightly larger than the pictures make it seem!). The location is quiet and super walkable. We loved our daily walks to Verve for coffee. Note there is no door on the office room, but we made the space work for us with two people WFH by utilizing the outdoor space quite a bit.

Our family of four (two teenage boys) had an amazing beach vacation at Anchor's Away Beach House. Holly & Mike's beautiful home was such a relaxing and peaceful getaway. We loved that we could just walk to the beach in seconds and the beach views from the balcony, each bedroom, and living /dining room were breathtaking. Their backyard was also a great place for lunch and dinner after the beach. Our boys lucked out with the available boogie boards provided and used them every day and wished we could have stayed longer so they could use the kayak and paddle board. The thoughtful touches for guests were very much appreciated from the welcome basket of local goodies (delish loaf of bread, cookies, & wine!), stocked kitchen, comfortable beds & great linens, beach chairs, towels, outdoor hot shower, and relaxing outdoor spaces. It was a perfect beach vacation for our family. Thank you, Holly & Mike!

This was my third stay- whenever I want to go off the grid but have all of the comforts of home, this is the first place I think of (I’d probably have more stays here but I am pretty much a spontaneous booker, so Vicki’s place isn’t always available when I want a local getaway). If you’re not local, it’s also a great home base for everything Santa Cruz County has to offer. Vicki is an excellent host and I highly recommend!

The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

I had a good communication with Casey before and during our stay. There were a few things that my group wanted to know and she responded with minimal wait time. The driveway up to the house was steep and curvy which the host explained very well. But not a problem driving up since we arrived with the sun is still up. I don't remember seeing any lights on the driveway which might be a problem driving up at night. Beautiful scenery around the wrap around deck. The house was very spacious for our group of 5 couples. A tray with snacks, coffee and wine awaited us in the kitchen, as well as bottled water in the fridge. I would definitely stay here again and also recommend this house to friends or family if they are in the area. On a side note: it would've been nice if they had some type of games (billiards, ping pong, foosball or arcade games inside the 2 car garage.
