Serenity on the coast
For our family, it was one of the best experiences. We shared an early thanksgiving with our parents and this property was perfect for easy access to the beautiful coastal views and paths to the parking. The home was well maintained and clean. The property manager was easy to contact for any and all questions. We already considered renting again sometime.

Wedding elopement
My husband and I had our three kids and our parents over for a weekend getaway where we had a minister visit to marry us. It was the perfect location for a small family gathering for our families to be combined and see us get married. We got married by the sunken window, ran in the ocean, changed into pajamas, and had s’mores at the fire pit. There were 10 of us plus the minister. It was tiny, intimate, and total perfection. We plan to come back every year for our anniversary. Note - we recognize there are no events allowed- this was NOT an event, this was a super tiny gathering of family and no more than the listing slept. Huge thanks to the owner for having such great communication with us. 10/10 recommend for a getaway in the perfect beach location!!

GREAT spot!
We joined with family for 3 nights at this location and it was EXCELLENT! The firepit was the ultimate highlight as well as the sunken living room with a view of the ocean. all the bedrooms made for a comfortable stay for our group of 8 adults & 2 kids. only critique we had was that the kitchen is pretty small for a large group, but we cooked all of our meals for the entire weekend.

Beautiful getaway
We enjoyed a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. Monterey and Santa Cruz are just a short drive away, offering plenty of activities and adventure opportunities. While the home is serene and in a quiet area, with a beach that was often empty with just a few other people scattered about at most. We enjoyed walks, s'mores, watching sea otters from the shore, and collecting shells. The hosts were quick to respond to questions. The kitchen is very well equipped. All of us - including the teenagers! - were very sad to leave.
