We had a wonderful time at this beach townhome and it's a great location! Close to The Wharf, Cannery Row, 17 Mile Drive, Carmel, Santa Cruz and Soquel Drive (antique shops) for easy day trips. Easy access to the beach and a great separation of rooms for quiet rest. The stove top/oven is not the best but two good burners and oven just needs to be turned up a notch. I did one small load of laundry and understand why we needed to bring our own sheets/towels as the dryer would not be able to turn these items over quickly. Also, did need to purchase toilet paper and coffee filters which was mentioned in another review. The kitchen was stocked and had everything we needed! Looking forward to a return trip to this beautiful part of California!
