Rooftop Retreat - Monterey House - Walk to the Monterey Aquarium
Oceanviews... and a splash away from the Monterey Aquarium, Cannery Row (restaurants, shops), and San Carlos Beach. This classic bungalow, crafted in 1935, has been lovingly restored and is a great central location for enjoying all the delights of the Monterey Peninsula. The open and airy great room features beautiful wood flooring, a pitched ceiling with beams and a skylight, a wide, galley style kitchen, and a peninsula with seating for four. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances including a gas stove, refrigerator with in-door filtered water/ice dispenser and a dishwasher. A microwave oven, toaster and drip coffee maker are at the ready. The living area has a large sectional sofa and a 65” wall-mounted TV. Primary suite #1 (King bed) is at the back of the bungalow, affording privacy along with a 43” television (with streaming apps) and a walk-in closet. The en suite bathroom features a tub/shower with rainshower head and a vanity with two sinks. Bedroom #2 features a large closet and a queen size bed. Bedroom #3 includes twin bunk beds and a roomy closet. The full hall bathroom has a beautifully-tiled shower with rainshower head and is located conveniently to both guest bedrooms. A door off the primary suite leads to a spacious patio framed by a huge graceful oak where a small, freestanding building equipped with a desk and large monitor offers a private workspace. The home’s namesake rooftop terrace will beckon you to enjoy the bay views. Comfortable outdoor furniture and a railing with wind-break panels provide a space for relaxing and breathing in the fresh sea air.
The vacation home features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great property and just the right space for us during our month long stay. Amazing location and easy walk to Aquarium, Cannery Row and the key Monterey sites. Good communication with management company and other than a few small requests we had the stay was smooth. Would definitely go again!
