The deployment of electronic surveillance is limited to locations that do not violate the reasonable expectations

The Neighborhood:
The Monterey Peninsula is different than any other part of California. Here, time slows, the architecture is humble (with the exception of the homes in Pebble Beach), and the lifestyle is the perfect synthesis of SoCal laid back and NorCal sophisticated. On the northern side of the peninsula, the town of Monterey draws most of the tourists, while farther south, Carmel-by-the-Sea lures the easygoing wealthy set. Tremendous price tags on real estate helps maintain the small-community atmosphere along Monterey's jaw-dropping coastline.

This area makes for a tremendous road-trip stop or romantic weekend stay. And did we mention the golf courses? This stretch of the California coastline boasts some of the most coveted fairways in the world. Add to than an abundance of natural wonders, luxury resorts and seafood restaurants, and Monterey might just be the ideal destination for your next getaway.

Wonderful beach getaway!
What a lovely decorated home right on the beach! Cooked lots of meals in the well stocked kitchen. Enjoyed fires in the fireplace with duraflame logs provided. Nearby we kayaked on Elkhorn Slough and ate lunch at Sea Harvest. We so thoroughly enjoyed how comfortable the home was even to just hangout on the back deck enjoying the sound of the waves hitting the shore.

Great and relaxing condo
This is our second stay this year. We love the location and this unit has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The decor is great for a beach house and super comfortable. Our only suggestion is to maybe add some brighter lighting inside as it felt a bit too dark during the day. Our stay happened to overlap with foggy weather which was a factor.

Fantastic Family Vacation
The property was just what we were looking for to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday. It was clean, updated, comfortable and you can’t beat the location. Close enough to Monterey and Carmel for a day trip but our favorite day was spent at the house and the beach out the back door. The property manager was fantastic and super responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Looked for sunshine
Our little group of friends enjoyed our time immensely! Location is great! Views for miles! All around good time. Some observations to get to a 5 star rating: 2/3 showers ran slow, door look was a challenge to use at times, couches could be more comfortable for older people, and primary suit bed was a bit lumpy. Again, we really enjoyed our stay! Will be back again!

Beach Haven Drama
Well the house is nice but had a mild smell when we got there. The view is great and they made a bottle of wine which was nice. The only issues we had was no TV in any rooms except the family room. And we tried to get a late check out when we booked the place because it was my daughter 13th birthday and 10am is ann early check out as it is. But we never heard back so I thought no big deal. Then we asked the day before and we’re told just get out as close to10 as you can. Well at 10:15 the cleaners showed up and instead of saying we will come back in 30 mins they just pushed their way in and started cleaning . So we got our stuff and got out as fast as you can with 4 teenagers. Then the owner showed up and was not a nice woman. She asked us to move out of the parking spot so the house keeper could park there . There were plenty of other spots. We were on our way out just putting in the address in my wife’s navigation in her car. She kept asking us questions . And I told her that usually you get an hour past before house keepers show up especially since we asked twice . She told us she had quartz’s come b at 3 pm. That was 5 hours from then. Plenty of time to clean that little house three times . We had a nice trip that ended badly because of poor people skills. Won’t rent there again !!

Excellent time!
Marco was very helpful in communicating details in advance of our arrival. Home is very clean and well stocked. We cooked dinner and BBQ'd during our stay and the kitchen had everything we could need which I feel like is very rare in vacation rentals. Fabulous spot to rest and relax on the beach and only 25-30 minutes away from Santa Cruz/Monterey/Carmel if you want to do excursions from the house. We would definitely book again!

Race Days
We came to California to attend the races at Laguna Seca and to celebrate my son's 18th birthday. The house was in a great location for our daily trip to the races and allowed us to return to the tranquility of the beach after a noise filled day at the track. It accommodated our group of 5 perfectly. We would love to stay there again.

Beautiful, quiet beach front
The unit was clean, up-to-date and comfortable. It is well supplied which was nice. It is a short walk over the dunes to the beach and quite beautiful. It is in a quiet, somewhat remote area where you need a car to go anywhere. Our activities were mainly walking on the beach, flying kites, exploring the beach and driving to kayak, etc. It was quite cool in July and mostly foggy. The hot tub was delightful. We had one day when we lost electricity and the car was stuck in the garage. The automatic door did not work and the manual override was broken. The management company arranged for dinner for us as we couldn't cook or drive anywhere. The stove is a little quirky but we figured it out.

The property was perfect for our long weekend getaway. It was stocked extremely well with amenities (although we couldn’t find a bottle opener) and had several nice touches. It was a nice location for us to access whale watching, pinnacles NP, and Monterey bay. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and quiet. The wind was pretty fierce over the weekend. Felt no drafts in the home! Home was well stocked with needs for cooking. Nice special touches including wine, chocolate, and ingredients to make s’mores. Hot tub was wonderful. If you are looking for a quiet ocean getaway look no further.

Perfect location!
The house far exceeded our expectations. I have never stayed in a vacation rental that provided as many amenities as this place: shampoo and conditioner in every shower, laundry soap, dish soap, fully stocked kitchen, camp chairs and beach towels for the guests to use...they thought of so much. The property manager even made sure to contact me before hand to see if I had any questions, and to give details on how to get to and access the house. The view is phenomenal!!!! A super short walk to the beach, which felt like a private beach because there was hardly anyone out there. We actually canceled some of our plans on the last day so that we coikd just enjoy being at the house. I have to rave about the beds and pillows, too. I wanted to bring them home with us, they were so comfortable! Overall we wished that we had scheduled a longer trip so that we could have enjoyed it more!

Lots of problems. Would not return.
Miele appliances very difficult to use, even with 4 of us trying after reading the manuals for each. Never able to cook on stove top successfully. Many windows fogged internally and so dirty on outside obscured the view (which would have been gorgeous). Very poor lighting: one dim table lamp for entire living room, kitchen and dining area very dim even after adding 4 battery operated lanterns, bathrooms so dark impossible to use cosmetics/toiletries. Living room furniture set so low that when seated could not see view of dunes/ocean out the windows (had to perch on edge of cushions to see view). No closet in king bedroom downstairs! No dressers or anywhere to store things you don't hang up in any of the 3 bedrooms. Screen doors to back deck very difficult to move. No ice maker; need to fill ice cube trays. Only 2 chairs in living room that face TV. Had to carry other chairs upstairs for TV watching. Majority of liviing room seating faces away from ocean and TV. Positives: incredibly good wine provided along with good chocolates and biscotti. Ample towels, lap blankets, free Netflix streaming, good closet space and hangers, flashlights in each bedside table, beach chairs and beach towels, hot tub that 's really hot in front courtyard, electric baseboard heaters work well and there are thermostats in each bedroom, washer/dryer easy to use.
