The neighborhood is beautiful and perfect for morning strolls, or a cycle around the loop (Corral de Tierra loop is 16 miles and is known as a cycling destination). The region is called the Pastures of Heaven and is home to beautiful rolling hills, seasonal streams, deer, wild turkey, and dozens of bird species. The neighborhood is quiet and safe.
I or my cohost will be available via Airbnb, text and phone throughout your stay. Please don`t hesitate to reach out with questions.
Our neighborhood is the lovely San Benancio Village. From the house you can take a stroll through the neighborhood, or easily access Highway 68. Monterey and Salinas are each 8-10 minutes.
There are two bus stops nearby, but having transportation is best in this area. The house is easy to find, just off the highway, but not directly adjacent, so its quiet but close.
This is a neighborhood, please be aware quiet hours of 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. are enforced. Please do not park on the street, ensure all vehicles are parked in the driveway behind the house.
There are 3 HVAC (air conditioning) units, and 4 Heating units throughout the house. These are located: HVAC (Living Room, and in 2 Bedrooms), Heater (1 in Living Room, 2 in Bedrooms, and 1 in Hallway near laundry room).
***Please be aware the three bedrooms closest to San Benancio Rd. will be warmer in the summer as the HVACs are concentrated on the other side of the house. They also tend to be cooler, although the Hallway Heater is in the center of these 3 bedrooms. We provide portable fans and heaters for the 3 bedrooms that do not have their own AC/heating units.***

Great property!! Worked really well for two families to share. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are on one side of the house and three bedrooms and another bathroom are on the other side of the house. Plenty of room to relax and spread out. Yard was great with the bocce ball and corn hole. About an hour and a half from Big Sur and 20/30 minutes to Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Owner was quick to respond to questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!
