You can't get much closer to the Pacific than this beachfront. We watched several blockbuster sunsets while walking the beach and, at other times, while sitting in the condominium. The views are truly amazing from both the living room and the outdoor deck. The unit is in tip-top shape and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. You can prepare meals and watch the kids playing on the beach in front of the building. If you're planning a beach escape, this condominium is well situated. If you're looking for lots of restaurants and shopping, this is probably not the ideal location. Since it is situated between Santa Cruz and Carmel/Monterey/Big Sur, we used it as a base to explore those two areas, however, it is a bit of a hike and isolated from supermarkets, restaurants and the best attractions on this stretch of California coast. Overall, though, this is a terrific place to stay and we very much enjoyed Josephine's well-appointed place.
