About this property

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.

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.

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!!

Wonderful home!

Hilltop Haven is a wonderful home to stay in if you’re in the area. We have family in Carmel and this home was perfectly located for a back and forth visit. Very well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Clean, with a nice view. We were in Carmel for a family wedding weekend. But we’ll be back for another visit. Communications with the property management was also pleasant.

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.

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.

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!!
