Thank you for your kind words. We are so thrilled to be part of your family’s best summer getaway experience. And we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you again for being our guests.
Your host,

This host was the best I’ve ever had on Vrbo. If every host was like this, you wouldn’t stay anywhere else. A great hidden retreat, community, totally isolated and secluded with great privacy and quiet. How are you not starving?

What beautiful kind words! We want to thank you for being great guests. Our most heartfelt thank you!
Your host
I can’t wait to come back! This place is absolutely amazing. A quiet retreat away from the 4th of July crowds. Close enough to easily pop into Monterey and Santa Cruz. I could just sit and watch the whales and birds all day. This is now what I picture when I think of my happy place.

Your host
What a fantastic experience. I highly recommend a stay here. The proximity to the beach and the ocean views are just the beginning. If you enjoy cooking you will be envious of the kitchen which is immaculate and has everything you need.
Just a short stay but still enjoyed the property and the beach/dunes.

Great location for car week. Close enough to everything but secluded enough to get away from the craziness. The house was comfortable and relaxing. The host was great to work with and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again
Enjoyed a relaxing couple days watching the waves and walking the beach.

My family of 4 stayed here over Thanksgiving break, and we had a great time. It was wonderful to wake up and just walk out onto the beach. We saw groups of sea lions swimming and playing in the surf every day, and the beach was very clean and peaceful. We had everything we needed in the house. Thank you!

Your host.
This condo was beautifully appointed. And the location was a short drive to Carmel and Monterey. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. It was a great place to have a quiet romantic and very private stay. Would definitely book again!

Hello Patricia: So nice of your kinds words about our beach house. Really happy to hear you got around to explore those quaint and charming towns around. Carmel and Monterey have so much to offer in their spectacular natural beauty and fine dining. And isn’t it sweet to have the beach all to yourself for a romantic getaway! We truly hope we will have you come for a return visit. Yours, Amy
About the host
Hosted by Amy Sung
My husband and I work in the Bay Area. He enjoys hiking and I much prefer water. We always want a beach hideout right by the water. As a host, I love doing something special to welcome our guests. We want to create a comfortable space to kickback and relax. A space that feels like home. When I am not hanging out at beach, I do real estate helping people buy and sell in the Bay Area.
Why they chose this property
It was first sight in love. A quaint beach hideout only an hour's drive from the Bay Area. The home is in a gated community with onsite security and is well managed. It’s private and secluded, and yet close to Monterey and Santa Cruz. And we can walk to the beach from our deck. The beach is private and away from huge crowds ideal for getaways, entertaining, and for family gatherings.
What makes this property unique
We want our guests to be wowed by our beautifully renovated home, digging sands for hours, and walk away with a fond experience that they yarn to return again and again. So we created a sun kissed space with dazzling ocean views, a chef’s kitchen to gather and share, and a comfortable place to roam and relax. Best of all, we treat our guests to premium linens and comfortable beds for a good night’s sleep.
