Hear the ocean from this historic cottage. Almost beachfront.
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, 210 reviews
"We three adults stayed here for 2 nights. It was charming and in a good location. Having the bathroom attached to the bedroom was ok for us but not great. The sofa bed in the living room was broken. I managed ok on it but a large person and certainly 2 would not. It's a sweet place for up to 3-4 people if they share a bed--definitely cozy--(great shower!)"

It was the perfect setting for our family of 10, providing ample space and all the amenities we could ask for. The location is only a short walk to the deli, restaurants and coffee shop which was nice. But what truly made our stay unforgettable were the moments we spent on the back patio. We were...

Spacious Ocean Front Beach House on Beautiful Monterey Bay

"Spacious property with beautiful views of the beach. Security entrance staff was warm and welcoming. The unit has all the amenities and comforts of home- pots, pans, dishes, cooking oil, dryer/washer and was pleasantly surprised they had a high chair for our 3 yr old. Comfy beds. The beach access is as awesome. Unfortunately the waves are pretty strong and I wouldn’t recommend a swim or having children to near the shore. Constructive feedback for owners/cleaning staff would be to please ensure...

"Beautiful views of the ocean throughout the home. I enjoyed the endless walks on the beach and drifting off to the pounding of the waves. The home was well equipped with anything you needed for a peaceful beach escape. The children enjoyed fun in the sand and investigating all sorts of items the tide left behind. My only suggestion would be to bring a baby gate for the stairwell if traveling with toddlers under age 5. We were able to block access by moving the couch. This vacation home...
