Recent Monterey Bay vacation rental reviews

This property is very close to the beaches, so I enjoyed my morning walks. My brother biked to a small grocery store. A few minutes drive to Capitola, Boardwalk, etc. where you can dine and shop. The neighborhood is quiet; neighbors were very friendly.

The location was better than I thought it was going to be when I booked Beach Haven. It was so close to the water/Pleasure Point, and we enjoyed watching the surfers in the morning. A short car ride and you're in Capitola or at the Santa Cruz pier. Comfy beds too.

Spacious, modern. Needs system instruction sheet.
