Head upstairs and you'll find the spacious living area where a Palladian-style window opens up the space to bathe the room in natural light. Enjoy a quiet evening cozying up on the couches as a family while you watch your favorite movie on the flat screen TV or simply spend time together prepping for the next days' adventures. Prepare a luscious breakfast in the modern kitchen to enjoy in the dining area, which can seat 6, or at the breakfast bar with its 2 additional chairs. At sunset, take a walk out onto the furnished sun deck to enjoy an evening seafood spectacular or an adult drink as you lay back on the comfortable outdoor furniture and watch the stars appear in the sky. You'll also find the King Master Bedroom (with private deck access) and the Queen Master Bedroom on this floor, each with their own private bathrooms with another half-bathroom down the hall.
When it's time for some fun, take the stairs down to the private pool for a swim or getting a tan out on the patio. With the beach only 1 mile away (3-minute drive/15-minute walk), it's easy to spend the day in the waves before coming back, rinsing off in the outdoor shower, and tossing the laundry in the downstairs washer and dryer. Be sure to take advantage of all of the Monteray Shores Community benefits including a clubhouse, fitness center, and playground.

Family vacation
The house was perfect for our family of 8. We all enjoyed the pool and spending time together. Some things in the house are a bit dated and it could use painting inside and out. But not a bid deal. The rental company was very responsive to my calls and answered questions quickly. We would stay there again, but really want something on the beach next time.

Nice stay but horrible management and needs some TLC
The beds were comfortable and the space fit the needs of our group.
Upon arrival we noticed some small issues and replied to an email that was received wanting to know about the cleanliness. As it was Sunday, a response was not expected. Sunday evening, we tried to use the oven and smoke just billowed out. Luckily there was a toaster oven that met our needs. Monday morning, I called to discuss the issued emailed and the issue with the oven. I was told that the oven was a major issue and that a technician would be sent out that day. Tuesday morning I called again to get a status update as no one showed up. I had to leave a message. I never got a call back nor did anyone come out to address the issues. Highly disappointing!
The home is in need of some TLC, there were blinds missing on the door in the upstairs queen bedroom, the shingles by the pool had chipped paint and the bathrooms and kitchen were dated.
