Fun property within walking distance to several restaurants. Will be even better when the bridge is reopened to traffic.

Thank you, Greg! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and the convenient location. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back once the bridge is reopened. Safe travels until then!
Wonderful renovation job, very sleek, modern, and comfortable. Plenty of room for the whole family. VERY clean and a well stocked kitchen for anyone who likes to cook family meals. Fun games for the kids, cool patio with gas fire pit. Easy 10 min walk to the beach. Nice location for day trips exploring sites like Monterey Bay Aquarium, Big Sur, and much more! We wished we could stay longer
