Cottage holiday rentals in Del Monte Forest

Liza's place was wonderful! I would happily book a stay at Rickett's retreat again. The location is ideal, and the place itself is lovely, and it is well represented by the listing. Liza's communications from booking to checkout were detailed, timely, and friendly. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Really hard to describe how wonderful the whole back yard is. Sunset here were amazing. All kinds of wildlife. The smell of the California hills in springtime always refreshes. Dogs loved it (and couldn't quite believe it). We swung on the swing, sat in the gazebo, enjoyed basking in the balcony views.

David is probably the best host we've encountered so far. Very proactive, provided details for the property, sent very detailed recommendations for nearby activities. He was open to coming by and showing us everything if we needed. And he added one day stay to our reservation for free without us even asking! The location is great, quiet and beautiful, close to Carmel and Monterey and to nearby parks. Great place to stay with kids. We will be back.

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!

A magical sanctuary! We loved every minute of our stay and the only negative part was that we had to leave. The location is epic- walk anywhere, restaurants, beach, UCSC, downtown, coffee shops. The hot tub is totally private and the place has a very homey feel. The lot is beautiful. Would stay here again.

This cottage was the perfect getaway for a long weekend with friends and a small dog. The bathroom was super clean, and we enjoyed hanging out in the front yard and being able to walk to the beach and shops, etc. Gabriel was super responsive, helpful and friendly! Will definitely be returning.

This place is so adorable. The grounds itself is very clean, peaceful and inviting. There are so many flowers and colors. Our cottage was so cute, my partner was saying she wants to buy one as a vacation cottage lol. It was very clean when we got there. Our kitchenette was convenient and had enough kitchen tools and utensils for the two of us. We also utilized our outdoor patio to eat breakfast and we were able to hear the ocean. It’s right off the highway so it was quick trip into Big Sur and right around the corner was a store and restaurants. Overall we had a very nice stay and were very pleased with our booking.

This was the perfect little place for our family of 4! The house had everything we needed and had beautiful surroundings. Our daughters loved the porch swing out front. We saw hummingbirds right outside the kitchen window where the feeder was hanging. We cooked all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen. The organic coffee was very appreciated! Wish the queen bed mattress was a little firmer (was lumpy & soft- not great for those with bad backs) but overall very happy with our stay!

Thank you Tamara for sharing your lovely home. We had a great time in the area and your house was the perfect place to return to after a long day at the beach or hiking in the local redwoods. The beds were comfortable with plenty of linens and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed barbecuing for dinner while enjoying the great view from the backyard deck. We would definitely recommend your house and the area to others!

Beautiful cottage in Carmel Valley. All the amenities you could want. Feels like home. Super convenient for visiting family in the area for us. Thank you!

Wow where to even begin! We stayed here for my son’s birthday/ Mother’s Day. This place was beyond what I expected, my family LOVED the little cottage and the gorgeous views of the ranch. We also enjoyed that we were able to really walk around outside and see the animals, my son especially enjoyed Russel the cat greeting us. The sound of the frogs at night was actually quite pleasant as well… The location was truly amazing, tucked up away from the busy city, surrounded by stunning vineyards. The house was clean, welcoming, & cozy. Check in was really easy, and communication was quick and friendly. It felt nice knowing their caretaker Samantha was on the property. Cheryl greeted us the morning we were leaving, I’m glad we got to meet her! She was very cool & very sweet. 🥰 Barlocker’s is definitely a one of a kind GEM 💎 We are still reminiscing 💗 In hopes to come back again 🤞🏽

Had a little difficulty entering communicated with the host, he was very helpful and made it very easy and accessible moving forward! Over all, it was very quiet out the way space exactly what we were looking for!

Great spot close to the water and easy to access, park and walk to and from.

Love Pacifica, with all the shops and restaurants. Beautiful location with tons of activities to do with the family. Kayak, bicycle rentals, sailing or just swimming all walking distance to Lovers Point. Public Library and markets for groceries are near by too! Such a lovely peaceful home, this is my family’s second time we rented. Definitely will return. :)

This is a beautiful place to stay. It’s secluded and quiet with big windows with really pretty views. We did many Point Lobos hikes and sightseeing along the coast. We went to cute dinners, an orchestra, and the farmers market in downtown Carmel. The Airbnb is easy to drive to and easy to check into. Friendly Naomi and Anina are very helpful and can suggest the best activities. The Airbnb kitchen has just about everything you would need to cook nice meals and is kept at a comfortable temperature. We had a great stay thanks to Naomi!

Cozy Corralitos has a garden filled with a wide variety of plants. The lemon and other citrus trees had an abundance of fruit. Many different birds were on site. The house was clean and comfortable with a well provisioned kitchen . Melissa was gracious and quick to reply when I had a question. The neighborhood is very quiet.

The Airbnb was perfect for our stay. The cottage was homey and private. The parking was perfect and super close to the Aquarium, restaurants, etc. The Airbnb was super clean and we loved being able to watch movies with the pull-out bed. This cottage was the perfect place for a staycation.

My stay at Thea and Stefano’s cottage in Pebble Beach was nothing short of magical! This charming retreat is a true gem, nestled in the serene beauty of the coast, making it the perfect escape for a weekend or even a longer unwind. The property itself is breathtaking—every corner bursts with incredible art, both inside and out, creating a vibe that’s both inspiring and cozy. The thoughtfully curated decor feels like a warm hug from creativity itself! Thea and Stefano are the heart of this experience. Their warmth and genuine hospitality made me feel like family from the moment I arrived. They’re not just hosts; they’re cool, personable folks who go above and beyond, always ready with a smile or a thoughtful tip to make your stay unforgettable. Whether you’re seeking a quick getaway or a longer retreat to recharge, this cottage is a slice of paradise you’ll never want to leave. Highly recommend!

Andrew’s cottage was private and very clean, the bed was very comfortable. It was surprisingly quiet, despite the industrial area surrounding it, and we loved sweet Elena’s coffee shop/bakery just around the corner.
