Summary:
Sitting in a quiet neighborhood in the charming city of Seaside sits this lovely 2-bedroom cottage, the perfect place to make unforgettable memories on your next vacation.
The Space:
From the beautiful beaches and coastal lifestyle to the sweeping views of the grand Pacific Ocean, your romantic getaway, couple’s trip, or family adventure will be everything you’d like it to be. Enjoy quiet moments surrounded by the comforts of home or immerse yourself in the action of the surrounding coastal cities and towns. The choice is entirely yours! Del Monte Beach is 1 ½ miles from your front door, an ideal spot for a picnic on the sand or enjoy refreshing swims on the warmer days. Spend a day in scenic Monterey where you meander along the cute boutiques and local seafood spots of the downtown area. Nature lovers won’t want to miss the opportunity to visit Monterey Bay Aquarium, offering amusement for the entire family, or taking a hike up Jacks Peak Park for panoramic views of the California coastline.

Stepping indoors, you’ll be greeted by the cozy living room where a plush sofa, armchair, and large mounted TV invite you to kick up your feet and stream your favorite shows. Steps away, enter the galley kitchen, well equipped with all the culinary necessities including stainless steel appliances, drip coffee maker, cookware, and dining ware. Whip up a delicious breakfast each morning and enjoy it at the counter with high-top seating for 2 or seated around the dining room table with room for 4. Take your fresh morning cup of coffee out on the front porch as you enjoy the quiet morning hours, planning out the day’s activities. When you return from exploring everything the area has to offer, head into the private, enclosed back yard and fire up the barbeque grill, preparing a delicious evening feast. As the sun sets, overhead string lights illuminate the area around the firepit where you can reminisce on the day while toasting marshmallows for a round of s’mores.

Super cute property, perfect for a weekend away. Great space mins to Monterey Bay Aquarium and great restaurants. Great backyard with picnic table and firepit. Gas to firepit was shut off at the meter the first night we arrived, with no instructions about how to turn it on that I could find, we tried to turn the local gas knob at the fire and light to no avail. Tried to assess with host (a management co) whether they could provide or point me to instructions on Friday night as I assumed something like this may be the case and they messaged they would send a technician the next day which identified the issue. Appreciated the help, but do wish they could have provided instructions the first night so we could use as we had really looked forward to it and only stayed two nights. Kitchen seemed well stocked from my quick peruse (blender, mixing bowls, measuring cups, etc) but we only ate out, had snacks, or takeout at the house so didn't test it out. Nice shower and small bath, worked great for us. Small living room, laundry in kitchen, and kids books available. Queen beds were fine, although wish there was an extra blanket in each bedroom and some for out back. We had brought a blanket in our car that I used to keep warm inorder to sit out back the first night and then ended up using that to sleep with at the start of the night before the room got hot. As an FYI on booking the mgmt company requested a lot of personal info to verify my identity and to sign add'l T&Cs.

Weekend in Monterey
Cute cottage! Clean and bright, and a good central location to enjoy the weekend in Monterey with easy access to activities and restaurants. Simple check-in and check-out with easy to follow instructions for the keypad door lock. Nice kitchen with plenty of dishes, glassware etc. Plenty of driveway parking, and the backyard with the fire pit is a great space to enjoy. Not a lot of extra room in the bedrooms if you have large suitcases but very comfortable. Great spot for a girls weekend or couples getaway!

Never again
The process to rent this charming little place is, unfortunately, ridiculous. They have an outfit called “Superhog” (sounds like a scam) doing a verification of every renter. You must send them a copy of very confidential info. Then the host “Grand Welcome”. Harassed us like hell to pay when in fact, we had already paid. Never again

Seaside Cottage
Well appointed cottage in Seaside, less than a mile from beautiful urban walking trails & ocean/beach access. Easy drive to Monterey as well. Found tons of delicious local eateries too. Had some trouble accessing property upon arrival, perhaps because we were 30 minutes early or because our welcome email had the incorrect code. Instructions were a little unclear, you have to use the back door. Property management company answered promptly and we got an updated code very quickly. Minor feedback but the water pressure in the only shower isn’t great for washing long hair & same with bathroom sink. Could also use more silverware but we just ran the dishwasher a couple times. Great to have off street parking & outdoor space is adorable. We were very comfortable here for a week. 💙☀️🌊
