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 and a large TV; 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 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.

We enjoyed our stay at this rental! The views were stunning, kitchen well-stocked. Close to Carmel and a short drive away from Big Sur. It was very clean and easy to check in, beds and couches were comfortable!

Quaint Cottage
Our party of four enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Haven. It looked just like it did in the pictures and was clean and ready when we arrived. The kitchen is fully stocked with all sorts of things, which made preparing food there so easy. The towels and pillows were of a nicer quality than you typically have at a vacation rental. The only things that would have made our stay nicer were knowing about the steep driveway (we had an elderly person in our party) and having someone respond to our request about how to turn on a fan (we sent multiple texts with no response). All in all it was a lovely stay.
Our host was great! Loved the home and it had everything in the kitchen to make our Thanksgiving Feast!! Awesome!Beautiful view and quiet neighborhood!!
This stay was wonderful….It needs to have extra boxes of Kleenex otherwise it had everything we needed! I did text and call Michelle for questions and did not here back from her… nothing earth shattering but would have liked a response

We are so glad your stay was wonderful! This is Michelle and I’m so sorry, I did not find a text or phone message left by you (I save everything in my electronic file). You and I did communicate successfully just prior to your arrival by email for your early check in, so I reached out to you by email when I saw this review asking what number you tried. Looking forward to hearing from you.

pleasant and clean
We had a pleasant stay and were amazed of the gorgeous plants in the yard.
The house and property are beautiful. Check-in was easy. The house had evrything we could have needed and more. The beds we so comfy, and we made great use of the kitchen. It had wonderful views of the coast on both balconies. We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our week!
Clean, great location, well stocked and comfortable

Great place close to Monterey
Hilltop Haven was very comfortable with plenty of room for three of us. We found it easy to get to all the Monterey area locations we wanted to visit, with a quiet, clean and comfortable home base.
We had a great stay at this property. Everything went smoothly from initial communication to check-in through check-out. The property was very clean and had absolutely everything we needed. The location was great for everything we wanted to do. We will definitely stay here again.
My wife and I stayed here 3 nights on a trip to Monterey Bay, Big Sur and California coast. Nice home, great views from the second story. Clean and welcoming, easy in and out driving around the peninsula, would stay again.
