Awesome property!!

We came to the area for a Monterey family getaway. This was such a great location and affordable. Only 20 minutes to the aquarium and less then 10 to whale watching. Caleb was a fantastic host!! I highly recommend this property!

Gateway to the greater Monterey / Santa Cruz area

My family and I had a great stay in Castroville over the holiday weekend. Castroville ended up being a good choice for us because we were able to get to Monterey easily, enjoy the activities around Moss Landing, and go fruit picking up in Watsonville. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a location that gives you access to a large part of the bay.

The host, Caleb, was super helpful! The place itself is pretty modest. Seems a bit pricey at 400 a night. Personally, I’m not in love with rock lawns, front and back.

Caleb was a great host, texting us recommendations throughout the weekend and checking in to see if we needed anything. Place was very clean and was great to have access to the backyard to enjoy the weather. Would definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

The place was older but still nice. Doors were all a bit weird and very hard to close. They need some work done honestly.It was nice it was pet friendly. Bed is fairly comfortable. The place was nice enough not worth the price tag.The cons:*They changed the back yard to all rock, so it was completely unusable for our Dog and cat and I would even want to walk around out there.*All the Teflon plans were severely scatched and not safe to use.*The couch is so uncomfortable to sit on, I can't imagine sleeping on it. It was hard and lumpy.*The shower water pressure is really bad.*If you go to enter the back yard from the side gate by where you park, the plants are crazy overgrown.If you enter from the garage, the door doesn't have real door knobs and instead has part of a soda bottle as the knobs. Also the door is falling off the wall and impossible to close.Wouldn't stay again for sure.

The house is super cute! The host gave a great list of restaurants to try! Thank you very much for the coffee! The neighborhood was very quiet and nice! Big backyard for our dog. The beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water, the soft water was a nice touch. Moss landing beach was beautiful with nice walking trails and only 8 mins from the house. Castroville is a beautiful little town I would definitely stay here again! Not a far drive from Monterey at all
