Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Salinas

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

I stayed here with my wife and son and it was the perfect place. Had a nice little backyard and enough space for the kiddo to roam around. Super comfortable and felt like home away from home. Love how close it is to the Henry Cowell redwoods state park. Kathleen was an excellent host. Would definitely stay here again. 😊

Beautiful roomy home. Beautiful view. Comfy beds and clean.

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

Beautiful home, well appointed, wonderful amenities, extremely comfortable. Comfy bed. Very clean. Bobby and Kristen were excellent hosts.

First off the photos don’t do this house justice. The spaces, including that wonderful balcony, are bigger than you think. We had 7 adults, a toddler & an infant and we didn’t feel cramped at all. The beds, linens and pillows were so comfy, the multitude of windows to let the ocean air breeze come through, along with fans in the bedrooms, were perfect. The kitchen was the most well equipped I’ve used in an Airbnb before. The wagon, chairs and beach towels were also so nice to have for the short one block walk to Black Beach (one of my favorites in Santa Cruz). Oh and do not let the 1 full bathroom for everyone scare you off. Having the 2 half baths made it all work and we never had an issue. My family LOVED this place and wants to come back so very much. We have spent 26 years coming to Santa Cruz almost annually and this was our best residential experience yet. Thank you to Kim and her Rental Mgr, Nancy, for taking care of us and communicating so well. This family highly recommends!

I had a good communication with Casey before and during our stay. There were a few things that my group wanted to know and she responded with minimal wait time. The driveway up to the house was steep and curvy which the host explained very well. But not a problem driving up since we arrived with the sun is still up. I don't remember seeing any lights on the driveway which might be a problem driving up at night. Beautiful scenery around the wrap around deck. The house was very spacious for our group of 5 couples. A tray with snacks, coffee and wine awaited us in the kitchen, as well as bottled water in the fridge. I would definitely stay here again and also recommend this house to friends or family if they are in the area. On a side note: it would've been nice if they had some type of games (billiards, ping pong, foosball or arcade games inside the 2 car garage.

Lovely stay. Friendly, proactive host. Great kitchen for cooking that has not only pots and pans, but oils and spices. The bedding was cozy and kept us warm during cold winter nights. Gorgeous views and a hiking loop that starts from the home. Bring ear plugs: We had a wood pecker pecking on the house under our bedroom each morning. Other than the wood pecker, it was very quiet!

Great stay. The space was larger and nicer than expected. Very good location with proximity to beach and restaurants. Would stay here again.

This is a clean and beautiful place to stay! Very baby friendly! We didn’t realize that there is another unit above the Airbnb - you can hear footsteps occasionally.

Susanne’s place was beautiful. Quiet and peaceful. She was also very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed! We would definitely stay again!

My husband and I loved staying at this Carmel cottage. It was comfortable and cozy. The bed is very comfortable and the water is hot. The fireplace is wonderful and easy to use. There is a convenient unit for heating and cooling the space. The kitchen was great and we saved money by buying groceries at Trader Joes and cooking. The gardening around the cottage is lovely and there is a nice patio space out back. Very easy access off highway 1. Truly a charming place and I'm very glad we chose it as a basecamp for going to big sur and other places in the area.

QUIET! I am fairly good with maps and finding locations... and love to find well-located homes in a quiet area. The house is on a corner of 2 smaller streets and there really is not any traffic - one of the streets is really 1 lane and very quaint! It is very comfortable and cozy. There were friendly walkers - it is a obviously a great neighborhood. Ben is a great host. The house guide binder was very well put together and helpful....I wish I would have read it as soon as I got in. There is a very interesting walk of about 1 mile to downtown that is all on quiet streets and finally across a bridge into town - take it! Without a doubt, I would stay here again next time I am in Santa Cruz!

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s beautiful oceanfront home! The views from the patio, and living room were absolutely stunning—we even spotted seal pups right from the patio. The location is perfect: easy walking distance to the aquarium, Cannery Row, the beach, and a scenic walking/bike path. The home was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—laundry soap, extra towels, high-quality bedding, and comfortable, homey furniture. Jane made the check-in process seamless with clear instructions and even left us a list of local recommendations and binoculars to enjoy the views. Although Jane lives upstairs, the unit feels very private. She was responsive and welcoming, while giving us plenty of space. This was one of the most comfortable and well-prepared rentals we’ve stayed in. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay here! The place is cozy, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, which made meals easy during our visit. It’s also conveniently located near kid-friendly attractions like Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, The Tech Interactive, and the Children’s Discovery Museum—great for our family trip.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The home was spotless and in great shape. I really appreciated the large beautiful kitchen. The fireplace was so wonderful. The high ceilings and balconies were such a treat. I also really loved how clean and new the bathroom felt. The parking was a luxury in town. Overall it was wonderful. Thank you!

Excellent stay , beautiful and very clean home . Lijun is super fast in responding to queries.

Although our trip was a short weekend trip, Nick’s place suited all our needs and had a lot to space to accommodate our party. If we return to that area in the future, we would definitely book again. Thank you.

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

I rented this house to celebrate my birthday with friends and it was such a beautiful, well sized space. The views were gorgeous and the accommodations were unique and perfect for what we needed. Overall such an amazing stay and would definitely consider coming back again.

Beautiful home with a great view! Very clean and homey. Matthew is also a great host with clear communication and very helpful instructions pre-check-in. We felt right at home when we arrived. The horses are also very friendly and my son loves petting them. All in all would definitely recommend!

My two adult daughters and myself had a quick overnight stay in San Jose and this place was perfect! Clean! Comfy beds! Plenty of room! We stayed in the third floor suite which had a kitchen and a sweet little reading nook. We will definitely book again when heading through San Jose!

Jose and Gabriella’s beautiful home exceeded my already heightened expectations after reading the reviews. The pictures do not capture the thought and care they've poured into their property. The kitchen is the heart of this mountain home. It was clearly designed for function and entertaining, and the panoramic view of coastal redwoods was the perfect backdrop for both. It came comprehensively stocked with every imaginable appliance and gadget, including a refrigerator twice the standard size, two full-sized ovens, and a massive island that can comfortably seat ten people. Jose and Gabriella were the perfect hosts, attentive, genuine and pleasant to interact. Easily one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had. I wish I didn’t have to leave, but I look forward to returning soon.

This place has easily become one of our favorites!!! My husband and I wanted a low key babymoon with our daughter. We chose Janiece's place. It was absolutely perfect. Easy to get to Monterey and Carmel where we wanted to explore. But we also wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle and this place checked all of those boxes. It was a quick and beautiful walk to the beach, which was never crowded. And my daughter LOVED the pool. We did not want to leave. It was clean and easy to get to and Janiece was a very attentive host. Will definitely visit again when we can.
