This gem was a perfect find for myself, a friend, and her 15 mo. old. It was easy to get to and from the airport. It was close to the beach, an 8 minute drive from downtown Monterey/Cannery Row area, and 1 hour from Santa Cruz. The neighborhood was unbelievably quiet all hours of the day. From having coffee in the morning around 7am to star gazing and hearing the ocean at 9pm. Very little car traffic or chatter of people heard. The house itself is spacious, newly renovated, water is hot with great pressure, well stocked kitchen for cooking meals, very sharp knives which I really appreciated, beds and pillows were comfortable, and towels plush. I liked that I had my own personal code to the house for my stay and it was only good from check in-check out. The hosts communicated with great detail about how to find the home, what things there was to do in the area, recommended restaurants, and checked in with me after the first night to ensure I was settling in okay. Definitely will inquire about staying here should I find myself needing a peaceful vacation from Seattle!! Thank You, Sarah & Young!!
