Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Bonny Doon

we loved staying here! everything was in excellent condition and looked exactly like the photos, plus you can’t beat the location! the beach was right across the street and walking distance to coffee, shops, food, etc. evan was super responsive and gave very clear, easy to follow instructions for check-in and check-out. highly recommend for your next beach trip!! ☀️

This was our 3rd year staying here for our annual summer trip to the Santa Cruz area. Our son (6) is now old enough to remember and request this place--he says it's really calm. The home itself is no frills, but has everything you might need to feel at home for a week--well stocked kitchen (pots, pans, bakeware, kidsware, dishes and drinkware galore, even some plastic containers, which came in handy for lunches on the go), extra towels, throw blankets for cozying up on the couch to watch TV (with plenty of streaming options!), dining table or patio dining! Last year we came late enough to snag some plums from the backyard tree, but this year I got a couple loquats from the front. They may have upgraded the mattresses in the past year, because those felt extra comfy! The location is great--surrounded by trees, walking distance to the farmers market (Tuesday afternoon) and two little free libraries, a few minutes drive to parks and restaurants, about 20 minutes to the beach/Boardwalk.

Laura's place is the best. Everything was as described and she was very responsive. We'll definitely book their house again.

We had a wonderful time during our recent stay at Sean's place. The house is so spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the large kitchen; it never felt crowded, even with a few of us in there at once. We also really appreciated how well-equipped the kitchen was with all the pots, pans, plates, and other essentials we needed. Our kids absolutely adored the pool area! It was beautiful and private, and they had so much fun with the basketball hoop. They also loved watching the hummingbirds at the backyard water fountain and the rabbits hopping around in the garden. Overall, we had an amazing stay. Thanks for hosting us!

Kimberly is an amazing host, very organized and easy to reach and communicate. The house is spacious and airy, in a walking distance from the beach and Downtown. It is equipped with everything you might need and more. We had a wonderful time and we hope to come back again soon!

Really great location in the red woods. Perfect place to spend a quiet weekend. The kitchen was well equipped. The fridge had a whole entertainment component built in so it was nice to use to play music in the kitchen. The outdoor space is super private and the hot tub is so peaceful. Bathroom is nice. Shower is spacious. Comfortable sleeping options. Overall a clearly well loved and taken care of space.

Beautiful property with stunning pool and nearby hikes. Comfortable bed and amenities in peaceful and quiet surroundings. Very friendly and responsive hosts. Thanks for such a wonderful stay! Would love to return again for future trips in the area!

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.

We had a fantastic stay at Anna’s place. The location is unbeatable—right at Stanford’s doorstep and just a short walk from the field where I could go for a run. The apartment is spacious and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The furnishings are high-quality and thoughtfully chosen; I especially appreciated the soft cotton sheets, the comfortable bed, and the spacious deck for enjoying the outdoors. Anna was a wonderful host—responsive, helpful, and kind. This place is truly a gem!

This spot was great for a weekend getaway! Right at the start of Lighthouse Ave where all the shops and restaurants are located. We were able to walk to the beach as well which was lovely. My partner and I felt extremely safe walking around at night as well. The space was very clean and cozy. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Monterey area. We’ll definitely be back as well:)

A beautiful spacious listing. We so appreciated Heidi's extra touches of beautiful flowers and other thoughtful touches. It was a wonderful stay.

Over the past few years I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs, but Renzo’s place truly stands out. It’s a perfect, top-tier experience from start to finish. The stylish interiors, modern appliances, and thoughtful design reflect a beautifully renovated space. What really impressed me, though, was Renzo’s hospitality: the little touches and personalized care made me feel genuinely welcomed. It’s clear that this Airbnb is crafted for each guest, not just a standard stay. If you’re looking for a curated Airbnb experience (not just a place to sleep), this is absolutely the one to book.

We had a wonderful stay at Jonathan’s place in San Francisco. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a pleasant visit. Jonathan was a fantastic host. He's friendly, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. The location was great, and we felt right at home. We’d definitely stay here again next time we’re in SF. Highly recommended!

Perfect oasis in the beautiful Carmel. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the sunset, a perfect place!

Amazing stay. I stayed with kids and the house was pristine. Looks exactly like the photos. Close to Marianne’s ice cream which was a win! Highly recommend Ben’s place! I’ll be back next year.

Jane and her husband were lovely hosts and their home was beautiful! We had an amazing stay and would love to return!

My family and I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean and well-maintained, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The view was absolutely stunning and added a special touch to the experience. On top of that, the host was outstanding—extremely responsive and genuinely committed to ensuring a great stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate any needs, which made everything seamless. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

Great View and Weather!

Beautiful neighborhood. Many walkable trails and parks with access to the Bay Trail. House is large and comfortable (great beds) and spotlessly clean. Large private backyard and very close to the tennis/pickle ball courts and pool. Only complaint is that the kitchen was not well stocked for our two week stay. We needed to borrow cooking implements and equipment from our son who lives in the area. But overall, a wonderful property and would not hesitate to return.

The home is large with many decks for enjoying the beautiful mountain top views. We were in town for a wedding and had 7 people in our group: 2 couples and 3 singles. The sleeping and bathrooms worked out great and included using the Murphy bed in the large living room and the guesthouse. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pans, knives, flatware… everything you need. The beds were comfortable and the bedding and towels were nice. The home is a little dated, it’s exactly what you see in the pictures, and was a great place at a reasonable price for our large group.

Lots of space and well stocked. Thanks for a great stay!

This was a great escape in Oakland! Every guest had their own bathroom and the kitchen/living room space was so spacious.

Beautiful place to stay.

The best part of this place was the room in the back. It really was like an Executive Director suite. So of course my ED took advantage and took the room for himself. lol. We appreciate the extra blankets and we each had our own room.
