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 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.

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.

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.
We had a whale of a time here!! The property was shrimply fintastic! The whole property is everything it is advertised to be and is in a great location. Thank you for the stay! We will definitely stay here again if our travels bring us to Monterey in the future!!
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.
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.
Very well stocked kitchen, clean, comfortable bed.
Neighbors dogs barked a lot, not sure if it was there 3 labradoodles or the contractors doing work there.

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.

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.
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!!
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.
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!
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!!
