We had a great weekend here -- it is close to the beach, but also close to Monterey Bay Aquarium and to many outdoor adventures that we had. The house fit our family perfectly; the beds were comfortable and the house was spotless. The house is well equipped with pots, pans, serving dishes, etc., but be sure to bring any cooking essentials (salt, pepper, oil, etc.) that you may need. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this place again!
