  • Summary:

    180° Monterey Bay Views – Beachfront!



    The Space:

    This bright and beautiful condo offers a must-see 180 degree view of the Monterey Bay!  

    Short-term Rental Permit #231206

    The perfect beach holiday awaits you in this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom end-unit condo on Rio Del Mar State beach.



    Relax in the fresh ocean breeze and watch the frequently passing whales and dolphins. Enjoy the sunset with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean.  Sleep to the soothing sound of the waves crashing on the sandy shore. Wake up to a peaceful ocean sunrise.  Soak up the sun on a beautiful beach ideal for long walks on the sand.



    The living room has abundant natural light, amazing ocean views, hardwood floors, sofas, TV and a gas fireplace. Simultaneously enjoy a warm fire, entertainment and whale-watching.



    The home features three appointed bedrooms, including one with a luxurious king-size bed, another with a plush queen-size bed, and a third with two comfortable single beds—an ideal setup for a family seeking both space and relaxation.



    The elegant kitchen has custom cabinets, granite counters and another gorgeous ocean view window above a large apron-front sink. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for preparing gourmet meals including a Viking range fit for a chef, Subzero refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, various small appliances and plenty of cookware.



    This charming and near-perfect condo is not only conveniently situated on the beach - it is also near restaurants and coffee shops with tons local flair!



    Why NOT break away from the herd in ordinary hotel rooms and make your home-away-from-home extraordinary!
