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.

We are so thrilled to have you at our beach house and so looking forward to your returns soon.
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.

Your host.
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.

The house is perfectly situated on the beach and great for family. Clean and well situated in a quiet area but near town.

We had such a lovely time at this property. In addition to being beachfront, this gated community also has a clubhouse with tennis courts and a heated pool. A perfect place to vacation. Also a short drive to Elkhorn Slough for kayaking and plenty of restaurants and fruit stands within 2-5 miles. We hope to return.

We are so happy you had a wonderful stay including enjoying the clubhouse amenities and the entire community. It’s a lovely place and we can’t wait to welcome you back. Until then, please stay healthy and go travel!
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!
