Hilltop Haven - Seaside House - Views, Views, Views!

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in a residential area of upper Seaside is perfect for a short vacation or a longer stay. The main living areas – with panoramic ocean views – are on the upper level, along with the master bedroom and a full    bath. Downstairs, two guestrooms (one Queen and one twin daybed with a pullout trundle) share a second bath (also with a tub/shower). This home features multiple areas for enjoying the outdoors. A small deck off the living room has a gas barbecue, and on sunny days the ocean view balcony off the master bedroom will be your favorite hangout… unless you’re in the yard, serving wine and cheese on the oak wine barrels, under a vine-covered arbor… or warming yourself around the fire pit (Duraflame logs only) after the sun goes down. The living room has bamboo floors, a large TV, and a gas log fireplace. The kitchen has tile countertops, a gas range, a side-by-side refrigerator and a breakfast bar (there’s also a glass-topped dining table with seating for four). But in this location, cooking is definitely optional: take your pick from fast food, delis, diners and a gamut of international cuisines: Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, German, Italian and more.  Single car garage. Sleeps 6 in beds: 2 Queens and one twin trundle (plus air mattress for extra guests). Seaside Transient Use License #STR 20-0065 Seaside is a small coastal community just north of Monterey.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, a microwave, and a dishwasher. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
This smoke-free vacation home features surfing/body boarding nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Birthday celebration

My friend and I came to celebrate her birthday. We both needed an ocean fix. The house is very cute and clean. The driveway is very steep and narrow. There are a lot of cars parked on the street. Steep stairs to get to main floor but they are carpeted. Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with two types of coffee makers Would stay again for sure!!

Beautiful Home Base

We stayed at Hilltop Haven while visiting the towns in the general vicinity - Monterey, Carmel by the Sea, and Big Sur. Hilton Haven was a lovely and comfortable home base to go back to, but we wished we had built in more time to just relax in that beautiful space. We will definitely do that next time.

Graduation Weekend

We are a family of 5 who came down from the SF Bay area to spend 4 days/3 nights for our daughter’s graduation and bday. Great location to CSUMB and excellent property for us to hang out, cook together, and still have ability to have quiet space too.

A home-away-from home

Hilltop Haven was exactly as presented in the VRBO listing. Staying there was like living in a second home. We will definitely stay there again when we are visiting friends and family in California in the future. Much appreciated to the owners for all the effort and care they expended to make the home so comfortable.

Seasides weekend getaway

The property is clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds are very comfortable. The property is located close to Monterey with easy access to everything. Private garage (1 car) and driveway parking is a plus. The only thing we wish not there was the early morning traffic noice in weekdays since the master suite is facing the street. Some light sleepers may want to bring with them some noice cancellation devices or ear plugs for that. But this is at no fault of everyone involved. Overall, we enjoyed the short three day stay at the property very much.

Monterey area

We are a group of 5 sisters on our yearly trip together. Originally we had scheduled for January but the flooding concerned us, so management worked with us to move our reservation to August. This house is so fun, tastefully decorated, meet all our needs. The only drawback (besides having to leave to come home) was the driveway... Steep and on a busy street, but we solved the problem by posting a "lookout" on the sidewalk who could direct the driver when it was safe to back out. We would definitely stay here again!!

Charming clean well-equipped

Pleasant, lots of outdoor space. No a/c, but in master (front of house, 2nd floor) you can open the sliding glass door and use a fan (supplied) to mask the street noise (somewhat busy street) at night. The 2 bedrooms in lower level are quiet and cool. Every need has been planned for. (Fan, hamper, soaps, lotions, games, every utensil we needed, coolers, ice packs, beach chairs, etc). This is the most pleasant, well equipped, clean vacation home we have ever stayed in. The home is in a residential (not tourist) area and the neighborhood is quiet and feels safe, despite fact that the other homes are not well kept up. We appreciated parking in the driveway (steep though).

The most well stocked VRBO

Great location for Monterey. Good communication with owner. The standout feature for us was how incredibly well stocked the rental was. They are serious when they say everything you need other than groceries for a beach stay. Would definitely stay at again.
