Spacious Sunny Getaway Near Harbor and Beaches
First impression- WOW! House is very spacious and clean. Stocked with every need. The house was very quiet inside. Owner (Gabriel) was very helpful with local recommendations and accommodating a special request. Gabriel was very responsive and stayed in communication with me when I had any questions leading up to the time of our stay. He was also very kind and accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend staying here. It’s a great location near to stores, restaurants and downtown. Definitely somewhere we will be coming back to.

Sparkling Clean Private Sunny Beach-Hike-Golf-Bike
This place was exactly what we were looking for! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The check in and out was smooth and she was very quick to respond to us! The garden and room were super cute and well decorated. It was super cozy! It was my first time booking through Airbnb and I would definitely stay again! Thank you again for letting us stay!

Charming Light-Filled Carriage House Apartment
This was perfect for us. Adorable apartment home with vintage charm. We had our own entrance and it felt private and protected. The house had all kinds noon extras like coffee, teas, and snacks as well as lots of games. It was close enough to walk to really good restaurants and all the fun but far enough away from the crowds, partiers, and noise of the boardwalk that we could rest peacefully. The whole house was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I would highly recommend.

The Nestle Inn Carmel
Phillip and Lisa were by far the best Air BnB hosts we have ever had the pleasure to stay with. They provided a race day package upon learning that we were in town for the Big Sur Marathon that was both thoughtful and practical. Their space was exactly as advertised and the perfect place for a weekend getaway to Carmel. Philip and Lisa went out of their way to ensure our comfort while utilizing the Nestle Inn. We cannot recommend a stay with them highly enough!

Hidden Gem by the Sea
We spent almost 3 weeks in this cozy and charming apartment. The location is perfect for experiencing all that Santa Cruz has to offer and we walked to the beach, wharf, and Boardwalk daily. Many coffee shops and restaurants are blocks away. Mike was extremely responsive and friendly, but not intrusive at all. We hope to stay here again.

Private Cozy Suite Los Gatos - Saratoga
Had an absolutely lovely stay at Rezan’s place. She was the utmost in hospitableness and thoughtfulness The property is absolutely gorgeous, filled with birds and trees and flowers and the sound of frogs, statuary, walking paths, places to sit and enjoy the environment, a little pond with fountain, and just minutes to downtown Los Gatos. I had the best stay.

Carmel Rustic Cabin Like a Treehouse + Dog
We enjoyed our 2 nights at Tom’s cabin. All instructions were clear and everything listed were accurate. He was very friendly and available for questions too. We will stay there again when we go back to Carmel!

Garden Beach Cottage
This is our second time staying at Carla’s, we love the place and the location!
Guest house rentals with a patio

New 1 Bedroom 3 Beds
The house is very cosy, welcoming, and clean. The host is very kind, and responsive. She responds to messages within minutes and is very flexible. We felt welcomed and supported. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped. I highly recommend this place for itself, and for the quality of communication with the host.

Remodeled Cozy Retreat near Downtown Salinas!
Josephine’s place was perfect for my stay! The place had everything I needed, from essentials to thoughtful extras that made my visit even more comfortable. It was spotless, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Check-in was a breeze, and the clear instructions made everything super easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and well-equipped stay!

Charming L.G. Guest House with Views
We highly recommend Karin’s Los Gatos vacation rental. The house is quiet, comfortable, beautiful, convenient, and extremely clean. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio, overseeing a canyon and listening to the sounds of birds. It is a short drive to downtown Los Gatos but it is up in the hills and feels away from everything. The landscaping is gorgeous. This is truly a beautiful place to stay (inside and out). We’ll definitely try to stay here again.

Cozy Nest w: A/C & Private Patio
This place was so cute and perfect for our stay. It was clean and looked new and well maintained. Martha was accommodating to our needs and very responsive. We felt really at home and enjoyed our stay there. We would stay here again next time we are in the area.

Orchard Cottage in convenient countryside location
Super cute place! Our kids loved the ducks and horses across the street. They couldn’t wait to explore! The house is very well stocked- games, kids toys, cookware, laundry soap… everything you can think of! We had a really great time, and it’s such a unique place to get to stay!

Adorable renovated guest cottage near downtown
First off I want to publicly say Thank Betsey for everything!! Great location, easy freeway access. Very close to downtown for restaurants and entertainment. For extended stays it is the best!!

ADA Accessible Cottage w/Private Bathroom
This was the best hostel I’ve stayed in. Super clean, super friendly and safe feeling. I would highly recommend staying here! Also it’s very close to the beach and everything like downtown

Natural Bridges Beachside Retreat w/ Views
We will be returning for sure. Kimberly and the space could not have been better for our needs. We've been touring colleges with our daughter and for our UCSC round we found the location to be utterly peaceful and quiet and exactly as described and clean as a whistle. It's one block from one of the prettiest beaches and has a ton of food/amenities located nearby. Kimberly was highly communicative and offered lots of useful suggestions both for restaurants and things to do while in the area. If our child ends up at UCSC we will be benefit from this space regularly. Thanks for the wonderful offering and help, Kimberly.

Hilltop Carmel Valley With Stunning Views
This house is located just perfectly, really private area, but still close to basically everything you want to visit. The views down the valley were amazing. The house was very clean and equipped with everything we needed.

The Hen House Haven
We loved staying at Kyle & Rachel's studio. It was clean and bright with all the modern accommodations and more. Kyle and Rachel were very responsive and thoughtful hosts. The studio had everything you'd want and more! The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom and shower were really nice and spa-like. It's a great location, easy to access but yet quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend staying there!

The Point Cottage
This was such a great rental! Everything was perfect. Host VERY helpful and communicative. Beds were AMAZING! Linen was awesome. Everything was spotless. Quiet at night, even though the house is close to great food, ice cream and coffee. I would absolutely stay here again and I highly recommend this place. Perfect for 2 couples or 2 couples with a child or a family of four. One of the best places for it's size in the area. And one of the best hosts as well.

Newly Built | Modern 1BR/1BA Private Cottage
“This place was perfect for both work and leisure. The environment was comfortable, well-equipped, and ideal for traveling with a loved one. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.”

Guesthouse Carmel Highlands ~ Ocean Views ~
Thank you so much for hosting us in your beautiful home! We had an amazing time during our vacation — the house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. The location was perfect, and we especially appreciated all the thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly felt at home and would absolutely love to come back in the future. Thank you again for being such a great host!

Studio with redwoods in backyard, infrared sauna
Very very private, quiet place nested in the woods. It smelled really good. It’s a lot bigger than the pictures and a lot more beautiful than we imagined. You can open the door and see the red woods right in front of you. The place was also very clean and organized, beautifully decorated. It was cold but the fireplace heated up the studio very quickly. We did not pack a lot of stuff because Zohar provided most of it (soap, shampoo, hairdryer, washer and dryer). The shower heated up quickly and the water pressure was strong, and we really enjoyed the hot shower after a long day out. It basically had the amenities of modern living while being in the middle of nature. It’s a very calming and relaxing place, if we didn’t have so much stuff to do we would have hung out on the deck all day. Steep driveway but it’s not that bad, just drive slowly and you’ll get used to it.

Cozy 1-Bedroom duplex in Seabright
This is such a gem! This little duplex was so cute and perfect for our stay in Santa Cruz. The pictures don’t do it justice! Kathleen was a fantastic host. She was great with communication and checked in with us throughout our stay. The location is unbeatable, 20 minute walk to the boardwalk, 10 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute walk to Verve coffee! I highly recommend Kathleen’s spot to anyone!

Cozy Seaside Cottage
Awesome cottage; amazing vibe. We loved our stay, the only thing we didn’t like was that there was so much to do in the area that we didn’t spend as much time relaxing/enjoying the cottage as we wish we had. We didn’t need to reach out for anything, it really was like having a home away from home, but there is no doubt that if we had needed anything our hosts would have been responsive. It was truly a worry free stay.
