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.

Great location for a getaway
I spent a few days here with my parents and ten-year-old son. The views from the house are amazing, and we saw some sea lions playing in the waves. The beds and living room furniture are all extremely comfortable, and it has everything you would want in a vacation house. We would certainly come back!

Six adult cousins & spouses gathered folllowing the Celebration of one who left us too soon. The property was lovely - very modern & relaxing. We enjoyed visiting the Monterey/Pebble Beach/Carmel area a short drive away. Our only complaint was the jets in the hot tub refused to come on. Other than that, a wonderful visit.

Unforgettable Memories @ the Beach
We have rented many homes on the beach and this one is by far our favorite. It is perfectly located only steps from the secluded waves which is the perfect backdrop to sip your morning coffee or cheers with a glass of wine at sunset. The sand + surf kept our children (including teenagers) busy ALL DAY, and when we were ready to rest, the home was well appointed (and super clean) to make family dinners, play board games and watch movies TOGETHER. The property manager was so friendly, communicative and attentive to all of our needs and questions. Needless to say the memories we made were unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!

Private oasis on the ocean
We spent a week enjoying the sound of waves crashing and beautiful views from our townhome. Quiet walks on the beach and family time were a highlight! Beach Haven was so beautiful! We absolutely loved everything about this property. We did day trips to Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz. We hiked, we loved point Lobos Nature Reserve. Gorgeous cliff walks on the ocean. We spent a couple days just relaxing at the property! Morning and evening walks on the beach, sleeping to the waves crashing, hot tubbing at night in our private hot tub, swimming in pool, pickleball, reading on the deck, and the list goes on! We loved the remote feel and the cool weather! It was so perfect! A week of true relaxation and fun! Thank you!

Wonderful beach getaway!
What a lovely decorated home right on the beach! Cooked lots of meals in the well stocked kitchen. Enjoyed fires in the fireplace with duraflame logs provided. Nearby we kayaked on Elkhorn Slough and ate lunch at Sea Harvest. We so thoroughly enjoyed how comfortable the home was even to just hangout on the back deck enjoying the sound of the waves hitting the shore.

Great and relaxing condo
This is our second stay this year. We love the location and this unit has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The decor is great for a beach house and super comfortable. Our only suggestion is to maybe add some brighter lighting inside as it felt a bit too dark during the day. Our stay happened to overlap with foggy weather which was a factor.

Fantastic Family Vacation
The property was just what we were looking for to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday. It was clean, updated, comfortable and you can’t beat the location. Close enough to Monterey and Carmel for a day trip but our favorite day was spent at the house and the beach out the back door. The property manager was fantastic and super responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Our little group of friends enjoyed our time immensely! Location is great! Views for miles! All around good time. Some observations to get to a 5 star rating: 2/3 showers ran slow, door look was a challenge to use at times, couches could be more comfortable for older people, and primary suit bed was a bit lumpy. Again, we really enjoyed our stay! Will be back again!

Beach Haven Drama
Well the house is nice but had a mild smell when we got there. The view is great and they made a bottle of wine which was nice. The only issues we had was no TV in any rooms except the family room. And we tried to get a late check out when we booked the place because it was my daughter 13th birthday and 10am is ann early check out as it is. But we never heard back so I thought no big deal. Then we asked the day before and we’re told just get out as close to10 as you can. Well at 10:15 the cleaners showed up and instead of saying we will come back in 30 mins they just pushed their way in and started cleaning . So we got our stuff and got out as fast as you can with 4 teenagers. Then the owner showed up and was not a nice woman. She asked us to move out of the parking spot so the house keeper could park there . There were plenty of other spots. We were on our way out just putting in the address in my wife’s navigation in her car. She kept asking us questions . And I told her that usually you get an hour past before house keepers show up especially since we asked twice . She told us she had quartz’s come b at 3 pm. That was 5 hours from then. Plenty of time to clean that little house three times . We had a nice trip that ended badly because of poor people skills. Won’t rent there again !!

Marco was very helpful in communicating details in advance of our arrival. Home is very clean and well stocked. We cooked dinner and BBQ'd during our stay and the kitchen had everything we could need which I feel like is very rare in vacation rentals. Fabulous spot to rest and relax on the beach and only 25-30 minutes away from Santa Cruz/Monterey/Carmel if you want to do excursions from the house. We would definitely book again!
