Wonderful renovation job, very sleek, modern, and comfortable. Plenty of room for the whole family. VERY clean and a well stocked kitchen for anyone who likes to cook family meals. Fun games for the kids, cool patio with gas fire pit. Easy 10 min walk to the beach. Nice location for day trips exploring sites like Monterey Bay Aquarium, Big Sur, and much more! We wished we could stay longer
