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!

Comfortable Family Getaway
The relaxing home in Castroville was perfect for our family of four. We felt instantly at home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The washer and dryer were clean and in good working order. We appreciated the bathroom having two cabinets for toiletries and the great water pressure in the shower. The town of Castroville is perfectly located to take advantage of the Big Sur area. We were less than 20 minutes from the city of Monterey which offered extensive dining options. We were only 5 minutes from the beach. Our family loved Moss Landing which was only a 5 minute drive. There was an adorable restaurant, the Power Plant that served delicious coffees and drinks as well as a full menu all day. You were surrounded by plants in a cute and unique environment. We ate at Phil’s Market. It was a simple sandwich shop that provided a lot of options and surprisingly delicious flavors. The beach st Moss Landing was a perfect place to spend time with the family on the Pacific. This is also where whale watching, eco, and fishing tours are located. We went on the eco tour and saw sea lions, harbor seals, and sea otters. This is a great place to watch sea lions, they gather on the docks around Moss Landing. From this house you’re also near many vineyards. The 101 offers 200 vineyards and historic Spanish Missions. Extremely Fresh produce is sold throughout the region as it’s produced there. We loved it so much we didn’t want to leave.
