A Spectacular View of the Bay! ⚜️⛱️⚓️✨ 6 mins to the beach! Great for big groups

Large 5-bedroom home with a beautiful view of the Monterey Bay.

Large living room - great for conversations and games—overlooks the bay with beautiful sunsets, dining room, and galley kitchen (*light use*—let us know if you plan to do a lot of cooking). Seating area in backyard and on front porch. Front staircase is excellent for group photos!

Please note: There is a long-term tenant who lives in an attached apartment (with a separate entrance).

Each room is listed separately; you can find them on my profile.

Please enter correct number of guests for accurate price.

Bedrooms:
- Butterfly Suite (up to 5 people - king size bed, double sofa, foldout single bed)
- Beach Room (up to 4 people - queen size bed, single sofa bed and a foldout single bed)
- Captain's Room (up to 3 people - queen bed and single sofa bed)
- Honey Room (up to 3 people- queen size bed and single sofa bed)
- Tintin's Study (up to 2 people - double sofa bed) - if you don't need this as a bedroom, it can be kept as a sofa and add to the living space as it has a sliding door which opens onto the living room.

We also have a couple of crib-size mattresses that can be placed on the floor for young children.

Please park your car directly in front of the house on the main street and enter the house through the FRONT door (not the side door by the garage). You will need to come through the garden gate and up the front stairs. We ask guests to remove their shoes in our house - there is a shoe closet near the front door.
The side entrance from the driveway is handicap accessible - arrangements can be made to use this entrance.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like recommendations on local attractions, restaurants and shops.

High up on the hill in Seaside, CA, our house is located in a peaceful neighborhood, with an amazing view. We are VERY close to Laguna Seca and the Monterey County Fairgrounds and just outside the main touristic area, a short distance from the attractions of Monterey, Carmel, & Pacific Grove. We are one of the last small cities on the way South to Big Sur. It is worth noting that the weather here is moderate all year long. It is not the "Sunny California" that you hear about; there is normally a bit of a chill. Our beaches are not the best for sunbathing and only the intrepid enter the water. Just around the corner from our home is a playground for kids. Seaside itself is not much of an attraction, but it has a number of nice restaurants and tends to be more reasonably priced than neighboring cities.

We are next to a bus stop with frequent service to the Fairgrounds, Downtown Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Aquarium (Jazz B - every 30 min), and just a short walk away from bus service to Carmel-by-the-Sea (bus 94 - every 2 hours) and shops (Jazz A - every 30 min). Unfortunately public transportation in general is not great in this area. It's possible to walk down the hill to some shops and restaurants, but much easier if you have a car. With a car, there is easy access to Carmel, Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Salinas.

• We are just down the street from the fire station—which means that we're all set if we have an emergency—but we also have the pleasure of knowing every time anyone else does.
• We are on a quiet main street next to a school. The street doesn't have much traffic, but the sound carries when someone drives by fast or playing thumping music. We do not get much noise from the school at all. During school drop-off and pick-up times, it can be hard to find parking - otherwise there is plenty of room on the street in front of the house.
• You might run into our family outside or hear our children playing in the backyard. We respect out guests' right to privacy, but we may be using some of the outdoor areas during your stay.
• The front door is up a set of stairs, but the side door has a ramp and is handicap-accessible!

Wonderful spot to gather for the whole family!
Our experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, and we're already planning our next visit! Noelle's place is perfectly located, just steps away from all the amenities Seaside and Monterey has to offer. Whether it was exploring the beach, browsing local shops, or savoring delicious seafood, everything was very close-by. What truly stood out was the generous space Noelle's place provided. Traveling with a large family can be challenging, but not here. Noelle's home comfortably accommodated all of us, allowing us to create beautiful memories together. It felt like a home away from home, and we felt relaxed instantly. The themed rooms were a delightful surprise! Each room had its unique charm, and the attention to detail was impeccable. The themed decor added an extra layer of fun to our vacation. Noelle was a fantastic host, always responsive and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. Her hospitality made us feel truly welcome, and her local recommendations enhanced our experience. In summary, Noelle's home exceeded our expectations. Convenient location, spacious accommodations, and charming themed rooms made for an unforgettable vacation. We wholeheartedly recommend Noelle's place to anyone seeking a family-friendly retreat in Seaside. Thank you, Noelle, for making our trip special—we can't wait to return and create more beautiful memories in your wonderful home!

Wonderful family retreat
I held a family gathering of 10 with my parents and brother’s family. The place sits in a peaceful neighborhood with a great view of the bay. Plenty of space to stretch out and rooms for everyone for their privacy. The house is also well stocked and feels at home. The hosts answered our inquiry in a timely manner which we appreciate. Overall, 2 thumbs up and will definitely come again should opportunity rises.

Saw a rodents in living room and kitchen
On our second night there, we saw one rodent in the living room and another in the kitchen. We didn’t feel comfortable staying there any more and risking our infant and toddler coming in contact with rodents. We moved to a hotel last minute and the host refunded us for the third night… hoping the host takes this issue seriously and focuses on pest control going forward to offer a safe stay in the future.

Overally, a great place if you have a larger group and need lots of sleeping space. The house is dated, but has a "grandma's place" kind of charm. Could use a little fixing up.... but it was very well equipped!

It was a pleasant stay. 1. The house is little over packed with stuff which is ok but little more empty space would have helped keeping the belongings of the folks staying there. 2. The house and furniture seemed to be little old (still quite well maintained) so had to maintain little cautious to use them . Overall experience is good.

Big house and yard, nice park nearby
This was a great house to stay with multiple families, very kid friendly. Yard had a lovely playhouse. I personally was not a fan of the small throw rugs (trip hazard for young and old) but overall there was plenty of space for all 12 of us. The porch was great to watch the sunset and the owners were very responsive to all of our questions. We will be back! 🙌🏼

The house accommodated us all.
We had 5 couples/families that were accommodated comfortably. One couple had 4 children, and they all were comfortable in the largest bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom. Another family had 2 children, and they were also were comfortable in another large bedroom with their own en-suite. The living room and family room enabled us all to spend quality time together. The kitchen was a bit of a challenge as it was a narrow “galley” shape, which made it difficult for more than one person to move around at a time. There was not a single empty cupboard, which meant all of our food had to sit on the counters, taking up valuable work space. Although we had pre-prepared all of our dinners at home before we arrived, it was still difficult to function in the kitchen at meal times. The hosts were extremely helpful in all ways, but the house had its limitations with the kitchen.

Great for a large group with kids
I grew up in the Carmel/Monterey area and wanted a large house for a recent trip. My two adult sisters and I each brought our husband and two children (6 adults and 6 kids ranging from teen to infant.) This was just the right size for all of us. If you are looking for a good home base for exploring Carmel/Monterey and Big Sur, then this location in Seaside is great option. My family and I frequently stay in HomeAway/VRBO houses when traveling. Some are more "homey" and feel lived in, and some are more sterile/generic/hotel-like. This property is definitely on the former end of spectrum and feels more like staying in a friend's home. The kitchen was well-equipped and there were more than enough linens/towels. The owners even left some baby toys and equipment out for us. The owners had great communication before, during and after the stay and clearly take pride in the charming, themed rooms. There is no TV in the house. One brother-in-law grumbled about that, but most of us loved that it meant we were able to hang out in the living room and talk. We brought puzzles and games. Would be great for a "retreat."

Wonderful location
Noelle was very accommodating, she let us unload everything from the driveway since we had 2 families with two kids each. My family had quite a bit of luggage. They were returning down South after spending Thanksgiving in the Bay Area. Everyone enjoyed the house, perfect for a family get together. The only thing I was concerned for was the noise level since the kids liked to play hide & go seek & chase each other. They were very noisy but they never complained. Not recommended for small toddlers who likes to touch everything. Too many knick knack. Otherwise we had a great time. House was very clean, rooms were spacious & the beds were very comfortable. Very close to many activities. Noelle was very friendly, helpful & most welcoming.
