Perfect spot!

We loved this house! Great views of the bay and wildlife-otters and seals everyday plus birds and whales! The house was so clean and very quiet-the best sleep of our vacation! Jane was extremely helpful and flexible. Their home is an 8 minute walk to restaurants or the aquarium. Neighborhood is very quiet and parking is easy! We’d definitely stay again!

Really great location in easy walking distance of Monterrey Aquarium and many excellent restaurants. Magnificent view right out the front windows. The house is beautiful and everything worked as advertised. Especially enjoyed the outdoor firepit which made sitting outdoors in the evening warm and pleasant.

This property and the hosts were wonderful and exceeded our expectations. The patio and fire pit were a treat to sit next to in the evening while watching the ocean waves.
