If you want a quiet getaway near a beach, where you can see whales breaching in the distance from your balcony, you'll love Bob's home. He was always quick to respond to our questions and the house is well maintained, clean, and very spacious. We loved to cook dinner in the well equipped kitchen and the home is a 20-30 minute drive from fun attractions like the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Santa Cruz Boardwalk. One thing we did notice about the area of La Selva is how it tended to be cold and gray, maybe just this time of year. Overall, a really nice place to stay if you'd like a retreat.
