Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Carmel-by-the-Sea

This house is awesome for family adventures. It had every possible amenity for a vacation getaway you could need. The house was spotless upon our arrival and well-organized, with a detailed list of items available to ensure you had a great time. The Pacific Ocean is viewable from the second floor porch which seated six comfortably around the propane fire pit. There were many toys available for families traveling with children. Our toddler granddaughter really enjoyed playing with the many toys. The kitchen was well stocked with modern appliances. The location was just a few minutes' drive to downtown Monterey and Fisherman's Wharf. We absolutely recommend this Airbnb house in the Monterey area. Our host Meli was awesome. She communicated with us from the time we made the reservation until we left. Her instructions for the house were clear and concise. We contacted her twice while we were there and she responded to our questions within minutes. Meli is a top-notch host.

This home was the perfect home away from home for our family vacation. It’s set back just enough to feel private, safe, and quiet. The open layout was ideal for keeping us connected as a family, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic, easy to get to everything, which is especially important when there’s so much to explore. There are also great casual dining options close by, which made mealtime simple and stress-free. We had such a special stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing, and convenient home base for their trip.

Proactive host, luxurious accommodations, lovely decor, helpful and clear rules and instructions. We loved our stay here!

We loved our stay here. It was spacious and had room enough for our big group. Our host was responsive and friendly.

Our family had a wonderful time soaking in the spectacular mountain views and embracing nature’s beauty. We loved our unexpected encounters with the local deer family, watching quail cross the streets, and discovering fascinating California native plants. Surprise to find items we need in the pantry and refrigerator, made us feel right at home. The comfortable mattresses and bedding ensured a restful sleep, even with the mysterious sounds of the wild surrounding the house at night. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

My family and I spent a fantastic week at Jackie's house. Sunny, comfy, and well-equipped with everything visitors might need, the house is a perfect spot to start and end a day of exploring beautiful Santa Cruz. We hope to return!

Beautiful, peaceful setting and a perfectly comfortable, clean and well-appointed home. Everything was great! We had a wonderful stay and hope to return soon.

Had a great time! Great host, great location, highly recommend!

Hi there. I made this booking for my boss. She said Angel's place was 10/10 :)

We loved our weekend at Jamie's amazing apartment in Capitola! It was so easy to walk to the beach and we loved hanging out in the beautiful backyard with our little one. Perfect spot for our little family's getaway to the beach!

Beautiful resort and a fabulous room! It was very spacious and well stocked. A little pricey....but that's the economy - would absolutely book again in the future if possible

My boyfriend and I spent the weekend at Fidel’s place and it was truly a wonderful stay. It was very close to Monterey and Carmel. The apartment was well stocked in the kitchen and bathroom and everything was very nice and neat. I would definitely recommend staying here and would definitely book again!

A wonderful place to stay! The kind of stay you want to keep secret it was so great. Beautiful ocean view and very close to Monterey. Krista was very helpful. Would absolutely stay again!

Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

Matthew donates part of the rental proceeds to charity, renter gets to choose the charity. also great location, 100 yds from the sea front

Great location, apartment, and easy check in and out. Would 100% stay again! Very cute places to eat / shop / beach close by!

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

Very nice place, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Host was very nice, quick to respond and took care of everything we needed. Very beautiful area surrounded by redwoods and very private. Would definitely stay again.

This is a charming cottage in a beautiful location. You can go back and forth to Santa Cruz (30-35 minutes) but we also enjoyed Boulder Creek and Ben Lomond. Tao’s Edo Sushi right in Boulder Creek was a great discovery. Cottage is just as pictured and everything was clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay with dogs, friends and family, Loved the creek and fire pit under the redwoods!

Jon and Amanda were amazing host and super friendly. They responded really quick and were very helpful from the time we arrived until we left. Loved the scenery from the windows, the view from the patio, the lights at night look amazing, the fire place felt really cozy. Would definitely want to get that experience again at the Fuselage!

As our first stay ever in an airbnb, this was the best place for a get away ❤️ Surrounded by nature in a beautiful home. All as pictured and described. We will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family.

Booked this for my bachlorette party! Super relaxing, cozy, and the fun glamping vibe I was looking for!

We had such a lovely stay at this cozy cabin in the woods! It was the perfect peaceful getaway for our family—my partner, our son, my mom, and our dog all felt right at home. The space is beautifully designed, both stylish and functional, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The layout made great use of the space, and it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating a welcoming environment. We especially appreciated the little touches, like hooks everywhere and a well stocked kitchen that made it feel extra special.
