Family-friendly vacation rentals in Seaside

We came here with our dog and had a great time! The place was comfortable, clean, and great backyard with a hot tub, just as advertised. Loved the neighborhood. It's super close the beach and within walking distance to a few really good places to eat. Shyamal was easy to communicate with and a great host. Instructions were very clear.

Tammy’s place is a wonderful home to stay at while visiting the area. It is comfortable and clean with plenty of room for several people. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. The backyard is very inviting and the hot tub is a nice perk. Tammy provided clear instructions and was responsive. Highly recommend!

House was beautiful inside and out. Garden and back deck were great in the morning for breakfast. Quiet area. Beds were comfy and the place was clean, rooms were large. Thank you Sun for a great place.

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

You will not regret staying here. Debra and David were so incredibly nice. The house and the outdoors/garden are beautiful. We loved the hot tub being off the master suite and the fact there are no neighbors so it’s incredibly quiet. It’s in a great location near both downtown and the fairgrounds. We can’t wait to return. We might need to add more nights because we had such a fantastic time. Thanks Debra. So great to meet you and David!!

What a GEM this house is!!! You will not be disappointed staying at Shari's home! From the great communication & responsive host ... to the welcoming cookies... to the private adorable backyard and extensive amenities ... it has it ALL! Great location all around and just a short walk to the beach too! We will definitely be back!

Loved staying here it was very clean Pamela was a great host she was very kind and helpful and gave me and my girlfriend amazing ideas and stuff to do

Joyce’s place was clean and had a really great location. We thought we were right on the Cliff so that was kind of a bummer to have a house in front of our ocean view. But the place was really nice, and very clean! The space was really cool and had great decoration. Beds were comfortable. Kids were happy. We loved playing in the hot tub and in the garden in the backyard.

Loved it here, only regret is not staying longer! Thanks for sharing this gem💞

Love the house, very spacious , nice garden. Very unique place, super cool collection of toys. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay this past weekend. The house was nicely updated and wonderfully equipped for anything you might need for a beach vacation. It was very thoughtfully decorated and comfortable. They even provided dog bowls, treats and waste bags. The outdoor area had ample seating and was a great space for a dog sniffari and the humans to hang out. It’s a short walk to the beach and Harbor Cafe which has a great brunch menu. Would gladly stay here again.

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

I had a most wonderful stay at this peaceful and lovely hideaway. The place was ideal and so convenient—to the beach, to Santa Cruz's sights, and walkable spaces—but as perfect as it was, Ron and Nikki were the perfect hosts. Helpful ahead of check-in, responsive and full of great suggestions once I was in, and when I needed to help out a relative, extremely understanding and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

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!

Tom was a friendly host throughout the entirety of our stay! Check-in went smoothly with clear instructions, and the location was beautiful. The proximity of the location to Monterey and Carmel was super convenient, too. If we are ever finding ourselves in the area again, definitely going to try to book here!

A sweet house close to all the best of Santa Cruz! We were in town for a wedding and it was a perfect home base. We loved biking to Capitola and walking to get coffe and ice cream. The house was a nice size for two couples. The host was responsive and low key. We would definitely stay here again if we return.

Amazing place, wish we could have stayed longer! We couldn't wait to run down to the beach (pretty sure we made it there in less than 28 seconds 😉) Very clear instructions with pictures to find the place which I greatly appreciated (our last airbnb gave us the wrong address). The view from the living room is beautiful and so cozy next to the fireplace. We saw lots of sea lions, dolphins and a whale! Everything is nicely labeled with clear instructions. Spent most of our time on the sand but when it got dark, the workout mirror and 3D tv are very fun. Comfy beds. Aquarium passes were a nice bonus too!

This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

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.

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!

Himani was super sweet! She made sure she was available when we arrived to give us the keys then gave us a run down of the place. My husband and I stayed with our friend and her fiancé so it was perfect as there were 2 private bedrooms, each with a private entrance outside. Each couple had our own half restroom and shared a shower, so if you don’t mind that, this place is perfect! Super close to Capitola and seascape resort where we attended a wedding.

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

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 .
