The living room touts a wall-mounted flat screen TV and service throughout the house includes streaming media players with access to Netflix, Pandora, HULU, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and other popular services, with standard TV service provided by YouTubeTV.

Perfect Beach Getaway

We had the most amazing stay! The hosts were so wonderful and very thorough. This house is the best equipped kitchen/home we have ever stayed in. It had everything we could possibly need, even nice pans. The community is quiet and lovely. The beach was absolutely gorgeous!! 10/10 recommend.

Great location, relaxing time

Stayed here while visiting the Monterey Aquarium. We were originally planning on staying right in Monterey or Pacific Grove but so glad we found this property. Just a great location. Quiet relaxing time by the ocean. Nice that it is in a gated community with not a lot of traffic. Will definitely go back next time we visit Monterey.

Great location with a short walk to the sand. Easy drive to Monterey, and Castroville had lots of great places to eat. The security guards at the HOA were very nice and helpful. The property had all the amenities we expect of a vacation rental, which made packing easy and food prep simple.

Condo was great and we enjoyed our stay. However, although the weather was pleasant it did get warm in the condo at night and there was no air or fans. We considered leaving a window open in the master BR but it didn’t have a screen.

Epic Location and Pristine Unit

This is our second time staying in this complex, but our first at this property. It was everything and more. The photos don’t do it justice. The layout was great - two bedrooms upstairs for us and our smaller child and the downstairs one for our older child. The view from the dining area and master are exceptional. Everything was clean and neat and in great working order, which is rare for a rental these days. Communication was great with the hosts! We would 100% recommend and will stay again on our next visit.

Peacefull beachside location

We were in town for Rennsport so didn't spend much time at the condo. We did like the location, hearing the ocean at night was nice and watching the sunrise light up the waves was serene. Wish we would have been around during the day to enjoy the beach or watch a sunset. The bed and bathroom in the upstairs front bedroom were comfortable, I didn't hear any complaints about the rest from others in my group. Though we didn't use it the kitchen seemed well equipped. I appreciated the provided k-cups and keurig as I didn't bring my own coffee.

Beautiful and Peaceful

The property was beautiful and the setting was so peaceful and serene. We were in for my son's wedding in Monterey and unfortunately the first few days we just needed a luggage depository, a place to clean up, change and sleep. The last day and 1/2 we were able to relax and enjoy the property. The climate/temperature was fantastic! The ocean breeze and the sound of the wave were the only sounds heard. My son and I decided it would have been the perfect place to live during the COVID lock down. The property was close enough to anything you might need or want to do, i.e. cannery row, Monterey Aquarium, but far enough out that you could truly relax. I would like to thank the owner's for sharing their piece of paradise!

Amazing Views

After driving from Iowa seeing the dunes colony was amazing as it felt we were in the country, it was very nice to be away from the hustle and bustle! Walking into the home the first thing your eyes go towards is the view from the windows! Even though we traveled out and about, it was great to come back to this home and be able to walk the beach.

Great stay on Monterey Bay!

Admittedly, we were a little taken aback as we approached—it felt more like a charming farming community (the Artichoke Capital!) than a seaside villa or marina—but any hesitation melted away the moment we stepped inside. Waking up to the sound of rolling waves set the tone for the entire trip. Each evening we were treated to beautiful sunsets. We ventured on a whale-watching tour in Monterey and were thrilled to see dozens of majestic humpback whales and playful sea lions. Despite our best efforts, we didn’t spot any marine life from the deck. One member of our group ran the Big Sur Marathon. We loved being close enough to drop them off at the bus and sprint back home for a few extra hours of sleep before cheering them on at the finish line!Back at the property, the pool and hot tub on-site were a wonderful treat after the marathon, and the grounds were perfect for kite flying on breezy afternoons. The accommodations had everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy bedding. Peaceful, picturesque, and perfectly located—this oceanfront gem exceeded every expectation!

Nice view, but...

The Host is great! John responded quickly and with humor when we had trouble unlocking the door. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The accommodations are dull and uncomfortable. Not enough comfortable, family-friendly seating in the main room. Beds are okay but creaky and unstable. The headboards constantly banged against the wall, and when we would turn over, it would wake us up. No one slept well…except the one person who slept alone in the king bed! We were asked to take out the trash, but the trash can was half full and smelly. Some dishes were put away unclean.We stayed here for a weekend in mid-December. We were surprised how close all units are connected. Luckily, we had no neighbors, so we had some privacy. We would not recommend this property to a family. The whole operation was a bit slipshod.

Artichoke capitol of the world

The view of the beach with the seals playing in the waves was wonderful and walking the beach collecting sea glass was awesome! The owners were wonderful communicating with us especially when an earthquake and tsunami warning occurred! Aside from all of this, I think the owners need to up their house presentation and hospitality. Grey, discolored towels, greasy, old pots and pans, dirty, non-working soap dispensers and lack of basics like sponges to clean counters or dust and cobwebs and old food in couch cushions really disappointed us! This could be a wonderful place to experience and appreciate the beauty of the Monterey Coast if only the house lived up to it's hype!!
