The views on all three floors are absolutely breathtaking! The pictures don't do it justice. The stretch of beach is massive in both directions and although the town home complex is large with several units it was very quiet and peaceful during our entire stay. We are a family of 5 that includes teenagers and it was nice to have room to spread out on multiple floors with two showers/bathrooms. Being on a private drive was reassuring for safety and security. Great location for easy day trips to Santa Cruz, the 17-mile drive/Pebble Beach, Monterey and Carmel by the Sea.
