Serene & Modern~ Ocean Front View~ 2 Bd 2 Bth~1st Fully Remodeled
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (58)
"Really loved the property and it was super clean and well appointed and lovely access to the beach. The host was very communicative and responsive as well. Found it to be a bit remote from services that we wanted to access (golf, fishing, etc), but no fault of the host in that, I think more that I failed to research the distance to Monterey and Pacific Grove."
