Beachfront vacation rentals in Sierra Nevada

Loved staying here! Its was small and cozy and had beautiful views. Easy instructions for check in and check out!

This place is an absolute gem. The decor is stunning—thoughtfully curated with impeccable taste and attention to detail. Everything inside feels high-end, from the furniture to the finishes, making it not just a place to stay but a space to enjoy. The location is perfect, tucked away in a peaceful area yet still close to everything you’d want to explore. But the real showstopper? The backyard. It’s unreal. Our kid had the best time running around and playing freely, and the creek out back is serene and beautiful—a perfect spot to unwind with a morning coffee or evening drink. You can tell the host put real care into every corner of the home. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and stylish getaway

Great hosts! Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a great view of the beach, a close walk to the pier, and for live music next door at Schooner's.

The Miner cottage needs a sink stopper.

We had a fantastic stay! The location is absolutely perfect—just steps from the beach, which made it easy to enjoy morning walks, sunsets, and plenty of ocean time without any hassle. The house was clean, well-stocked, and exactly as described. A peaceful and relaxing getaway—we’d love to come back!

This is a great place to stay! The house was so clean..beautiful views..we saw a whale from the family room. Very hospitable, Bernardine was easy to communicate with. Our family cannot wait to return!

Mark and Jacqueline have a beautiful home and property. It was spacious for our 3 families with small children. There were plenty of supplies to make our stay comfortable. The best part was being able to drive down to the river for a swim. We are already planning to book again. Thank you Mark and Jacqueline for the hospitality.

Love Neals place, so serene, literally! The three bed was great for our family. The kitchen was very well stocked and the road the home is on is so sweet. In the winter, be prepared for snow for the ski bunnies! Soda springs is at the highest elevation… We came looking for snow and found it. I bet the lake in the summer is gorgeous too. Thank you Neal!

This neighborhood is safe and peaceful. We have stayed at The Dunes numerous times over the last 4 years. Lisa’s home is beautiful and inviting. We all felt very comfortable and relaxed. It is such a gorgeous area and the staff at the front gate is always so helpful too. I had to reach out to Lisa multiple times throughout our stay and each time her responses were quick and respectful. It was a delight to chat with her and we are definitely planning to come back and would rent this home again.

Wonderful stay! We used the property as a base for exploring the local national parks - very convenient location! The property/house was clean - we notice small things and think the cleaning crew does a good job. It is rare today that online pictures accurately display the current condition of a property, but all online pictures are very representative of the property! Obviously the pool/hot tub were amazing, especially upon return from a day of hiking, the afternoon heat of California and with kids! Perfect dwelling for a young outdoor family looking for a resort like feel at a fraction of the price! Furthermore, the privacy and quietness of the location will best any other place in town. Excellent stay and the hosts are very responsive, often immediately responsive, and offered great recommendations. Overall, great property, location and value.

The resort is a perfect getaway spot for families. The villa was very comfortable and had an amazing location (probably the best in entire resort). Next to the pool, amazing view and great for the kids. Would love to come again.

Love this place! Will definitely come back!

The decor was delightful! Very well outfitted with everything you need.beds super comfy. Really good size. We had more than enough room. I appreciate that Crystal saw no issue with my service dog joining us. I was a bit disappointed that you had to be on the balcony to see the beach. There was a complex in the front blocking most of the view from indoors. I also had issue with parking. The garage was only for small cars and the street parking was inconsistent and required several steps. My handicapped daughter found it a bit difficult. The area was not easily walked being on a very very steep hill. I wish there were more info in the description. All in all, it was a gorgeous place and really clean, highly recommend for non handicapped folks.

It was a great stay. We loved our time there and would definitely visit again.

This location is ideal for those who like easy access to hiking, walking, beach, pools etc. Also a short drive to Capitola, and Santa Cruz to the North. Views from the balcony are way better than the pictures. Stay here, you will not be disappointed.

I stayed at this lovely home when I was in Truckee for a wedding and it was perfect for my stay. The home was clean and cozy with clear instructions for everything. It is well stocked with plenty of kitchenware, towels, extra blankets, and more. The layout and location were ideal and in a nice quiet neighborhood. There is a big driveway and a garage you can park in. Sean was easy to communicate with and responsive. I didn't need to reach out to him, but it was nice to know he would be available. I would easily stay here again the next time I am up in the Truckee area.

We had such a great time!! The amenities were so amazing! Paddle boats, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, fishing poles were so amazing! We did not leave except to go to the bait and tackle store! It was amazing! They were so kind and attentive! we had a wonderful time

Amazing views of the Pajaro River and Pacific Ocean. Short walk (300 yards) to the beach along a boardwalk or enjoy the views from the livingroom through the large picture windows or deck. Perfect for a couple or young family (the two twin beds in the second bedroom are quite small but my 20 something daughters had no complaints). Abundant bird watching opportunities along with the occasional sea lion\seal and otter.

We had the best stay at Lake Tahoe and it was made even better by our home at the Winans' townhouse (Mitchell). The location was perfect; just a short drive to Sand Harbor and even shorter drive (just minutes) to South Lake Tahoe. The complex was quiet and peaceful. With this unit being just steps away from the shore, the views from the balconies were gorgeous. The condo was spacious and stocked with everything we could need. Although we didn't travel with children, I noticed that there was a closet full of necessities for kids. Such a home-y and cozy feel. I highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks Mitchell! - Emily

My son and I really enjoyed our stay at Ron and Donna’s. The accommodations were comfortable, peaceful and private, with the most amazing views and direct access to walking trails along the beach!!! Ron was always very friendly and responsive, although we didn’t need much as their attention to detail was spot on, and everything listed was provided. I would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Great place and location. The hot tub with a view of the water and the stars is everything. We have stayed here before. It is a favorite. Unfortunately, a work crisis interrupted our stay, but we will be back. The local restaurant Tony’s Seafood was apparently bought by Hog Island and the oysters and the clam chowder are to die for. Rachel was our server and couldn’t have been nicer. I recommend purchasing groceries and libations in San Rafael or elsewhere before you get there. Enjoy.

Staying at the Sea Wolf Bungalow was one of the most special experiences of my life. I had the joy of working with Kim to plan my engagement there, and she made every step seamless, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable. From vendor recommendations to her calming presence, Kim went above and beyond to help create a perfect moment. She welcomed us with such warmth—it felt like staying with family. The bungalow itself is peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly nestled in nature. The stunning seaside views, colorful tide pools, and sightings of whales, seals, and other wildlife made every moment feel magical. Kim’s local insight into trails, sights, and hidden gems only added to the experience. The Sea Wolf Bungalow will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I feel incredibly grateful for the memories made there and for the chance to get to know Kim. Truly the best trip I’ve ever had. Thank you, Kim—for everything.

Elizabeth was at the property wrapping up a couple things when I arrived early. She was welcoming and friendly allowing me to get settled while she finished up. The house is really cute and worked well for our purposes, shared accomodations for a conference with a collegue. The kitchen was well stocked for making meals with breakfast/coffee/fruit available as well. Each bedrooms has a bathroom next door and are separated (split level) which worked well for us. The driveway accomodates one car and there was plenty of street parking. The house is close to a commercial strip with all kinds of restaurants, shops and cafe. One can hear street noise such as trash pick up on Wednesday morning and unloading at the cafe around the corner. I was able to walk to Monterey with the majority of it on the bike/walking path which was really enjoyable.

This is my second time visiting Jesse's home. Everything went super smoothly and I was provided with all necessary information. I love the open floor plan and you can't beat the location. I love his eco friendly approach and all the kitchen accessories he has in order to cook in house. I haven't made it in the hot tub either visit, but hope to do so next time :)
