We had a great time staying here over 4th of July. The location is perfect - right next to the walking trail, very close to the aquarium, and of course right across the street from the beach. We made heavy use of the aquarium passes and also really enjoy the nearby Dennis the Menace park (my 2 yr old son loved it!). Barb was incredibly responsive with any questions we had, and the house was clean and really well setup. I would definitely recommend others who are looking for a great location near Monterey to stay here - we really enjoyed!!
