3 Bedroom House in Sand City

Nestled at the edge of Seaside in Sand City (population 372), this home rates a major WOW. (Or two or three.)The upper level features a swoon-worthy kitchen, dining for eight, a living room with a large TV and fireplace, a master suite (with a private bath and walk-in shower), a powder room, laundry, and the piece de resistance: a covered patio with a firepit and a sectional for lounging. Downstairs, there’s a bedroom/den with a fold-out sofa and a desk, a full bath with a tub/shower, and a guestroom that opens to the backyard (w/dining table, chaises and a barbecue). From here, you can walk to the local craft brewery or enjoy a slice of pie at Sweet Elena’s bakery—while perusing the fanciful wall murals created by Sand City’s many artists. Ocean lovers will appreciate easy access to the beach via the Tioga Road overpass (approx. seven-minute walk). There’s also a corner playground for the kiddies, and if you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll find scores of delis and diners nearby, along with a gamut of international cuisines (Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, German, Italian and more). Street and driveway parking only. Short term rental permit:STR 22-14

Summary: We were two couples visiting the Monterey area for a few days' holiday. The home was clean, spacious (two stories) and has a deck upstairs with fire pit and downstairs patio with gas grill. The instructions for arrival and departure were crystal clear and I loved that we didn't need a key -- simply a door code. Most everything we wanted to see was at most 12-15 minutes away (Carmel, Pacific Grove) and the airport was only about 9 minutes away. The house was perfect for our needs. Great big kitchen and dining area that was ideal for enjoying meals and catching up with old friends. Downsides: The house is located in a newer subdivision and I'd say the neighborhood is industrial. Not really conducive to walking to shopping or local dining. The beach is about a 15 minute walk through the industrial part, over a highway overpass and then drops you straight to the sea. So, if you are considering a beach vacation -- probably not the ideal choice. The is allegedly a sea view from the house, but it's a peek a boo view from the upstairs loo! (didn't really mean to rhyme). One can also walk to the corner and up the next street slightly and get a sea view, which is lovely a sunset. The sound of the traffic on the highway drowns out the sound of any waves. Communication with the staff was easy and prompt replies. The propane tank on the balcony was out of gas, and the staff brought a replacement later that day. Overall, an ideal home for a cozy getaway with family or friends provided you are ok with the location and not expecting to have easy beach access.
