Enjoy ocean views and a perfect walkable location 3 houses up from the water.
We used to live on the Peninsula 15 years ago, and our friends lived in this very villa, so we had visited it before and fondly remembered it. It was a dream come true to spend 3 nights with our family in it, all of these years later. There are great views from the open kitchen/dinning room area and master bedroom. Imagine falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to your own dolphin show from the comfort of your bed! (We did wake up to this- it was truly magical watching the dolphins swim around for so long, right in our view. We also saw seals, otters, and a whale.)
We enjoyed coffee on the balcony off the dinning room every morning. The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and it is a lovely space to enjoy meals with a million dollar view.
One of the best parts of this rental, is it's amazing location- a short walk to the aquarium, Cannery Row, and Lover's Point. We love walking as much as possible when we visit Monterey. We walked to Cannery Row and into downtown Monterey, on the walking trail for a few meals, as well as to Lover's Point and towards Asilomar Beach. There is Andronico's market 2 blocks away for groceries. (We knew the walk to Alvarado St is a little longer, so we brought the kids' scooters, so they could zoom along and we could negate possible whining;)
My husband kept remarking how spacious the house is. Two bedrooms & a full bath are downstairs & and the master suite is upstairs. This would be a good house to share with another couple or extended family, while allowing for some privacy. Our kids are 7 & 9, so they were okay sleeping on a separate floor from us.
The view alone is worth the price of admission. This is a special place.
