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.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Start to Retirement
Weekend of relaxation & golf to kick off my husband’s retirement. This location was great because it’s not in town but right on the ocean. Gorgeous views and direct access to beach. Peaceful and comfortable.

Perfect
This house was truly a wonderful getaway for our family. The house was comfortable, immaculate and clean with many thoughtful touches (high end linens, coffee, plenty of dish ware). Truly a gem. We’ve traveled a lot and stayed in many rentals-this is an A.
