The house is super cute! The host gave a great list of restaurants to try! Thank you very much for the coffee! The neighborhood was very quiet and nice! Big backyard for our dog. The beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water, the soft water was a nice touch. Moss landing beach was beautiful with nice walking trails and only 8 mins from the house. Castroville is a beautiful little town I would definitely stay here again! Not a far drive from Monterey at all

Gateway to the greater Monterey / Santa Cruz area

My family and I had a great stay in Castroville over the holiday weekend. Castroville ended up being a good choice for us because we were able to get to Monterey easily, enjoy the activities around Moss Landing, and go fruit picking up in Watsonville. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a location that gives you access to a large part of the bay.

We came to the area for a Monterey family getaway. This was such a great location and affordable. Only 20 minutes to the aquarium and less then 10 to whale watching. Caleb was a fantastic host!! I highly recommend this property!

The house was perfect for our needs. Clean and the neighborhood has quiet. Close to Moss Landing for dinner and within 30 minutes of Laguna Seca. The host was very attentive to any questions we had and checked on us to make sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

Cozy House

We enjoyed our recent stay at this property which was very cute and cozy with comfortable bedding. The kitchen, dining and living room were open with a beautiful wood bar with extra seating on both sides. Loved the whale and sea gull that were painted on the rocks in the front yard which was a nice touch. The property manager, Caleb was very accommodating and responded quickly to our questions.

Nice place to stay

Caleb’s house is a gem, it’s super clean, tidy and comfortable for us. The location is great and the neighborhood is very quiet and clean. Caleb is very responsive and caring for us. He provided us a great opportunity to have an ocean view dinner at a beach restaurant. We watched the beautiful sunset while having dinner, it’s an amazing experience we’ll never forget. I definitely recommend Caleb’s place to everyone and will come back again for vacation.
