Our stay at Mary’s place was one of our best travel experiences ever! Mary’s home exceeded all of our expectations in terms of comfort, space, functionality, cleanliness, and just about every other characteristic that matter. We are a family of five and we had space to spare in the main house without ever setting foot in the casita. We enjoyed lovely family meals in her kitchen, the great outdoor spaces (especially the upstairs patio), the modern appliances to clean up after ourselves (including a dishwasher and washer/dryer), and a number of other child-friendly features from board games to sand toys! Most of all, Mary’s location simply can’t be beat— less than five minutes by foot from the Seacliff Beach at Aptos, and two minutes away from CA Route 1 for easy access to all of the attractions of Monterey Bay. Book with confidence—Mary’s place is a true gem!
