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.

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!
Very enjoyable. Beautiful home. Very accommodating. Well stocked. Very clean.Thank you.

Hilltop Haven is a great vacation rental!
Our last trip to Hilltop Haven was awesome! This was our third time staying at this great location. It is so close to the lightly populated Del Monte Beach or Seaside beach. The location was great for all of our needs and wants. Close to Smart and Final, Monterey's Fish House restaurant, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf. This vacation rental is clean, well kept, fully equipped, and a great place to bring our family. After a day of shopping, or at the beach, this is the place where you can relax and enjoy. We look forward to our next visit.
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.

Beautiful House with Beautiful Views
My son was recently stationed in Monterey. I drove his car out and my family came to visit. The house was perfect for the whole family to enjoy. We wish we had time to have had a fire in the fire pit. We did a lot of hiking and the house was in the perfect location to be able to get to a lot of what the area has to offer. I would definitely recommend using the house on Hilby. This was my first time visiting the Pacific and it did not disappoint.
Great property, super clean with all the amenities one needs. Top it off with great views of the bay and the sunset!

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.

Clean, comfy, & convenient
The unit was very clean and extremely well stocked. Beds and pillows were super comfortable! We caught up on our rest and enjoyed our stay. It was a good location to get to all the places we wanted to visit in the Monterey/Carmel area.

Girls trips - Summer of 65 Celebration
Perfect location to explore the area, Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur.
House has great spaces outside to drink wine and visit and upstairs balcony has great sunset viewing. Would book again, super cute place, clean and very well appointed.
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.
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.
