About this property
Oceanfront: Step to the Beach from Your Porch! STR#0091
This home is one of only two in existence along the entire coastline that is both oceanfront and bordering Asilomar State Park in the back. It is a true 'Beach House' where you can actually experience whale watching from the living room couch!
Great location--a short walk along the water to Spanish Bay/Pebble Beach.
The home is simple, sturdy and comfortable. As of 2019, the home was renovated with new baths, new paint, new tile floors, new carpet, window coverings, light fixtures etc. Downstairs features an open floor plan with large living room, dining room and kitchen all flowing from one to the other. There are large picture windows along the front with wide open views to the beach. The living room features a large wood burning fireplace, comfy couch and easy chairs, a game table, satellite TV, Stereo, etc. Kitchen is well- appointed with lots of cookware and appliances. Dishes are done 'old school' as there is no dishwasher. But since the kitchen sink faces the ocean, the task of washing dishes is fairly painless!
Upstairs there are three comfortable bedrooms, all with huge windows, comfy beds and flat screen satellite TV's. There is also an upper deck overlooking the dunes and the beach.
Outside you will find a firepit in the sand, perfect for bonfires...or just have a seat on one of the benches and gaze at the stars. The night sky is incredible as there is little ambient light!
The famous recreation trail that stretches from Pebble Beach to Santa Cruz is just across the street. You can walk to Spanish Bay Resort (maybe a mile) for world class dining, or wander along the trails of the Asilomar State Park.
If you are a beach/ocean lover, this is your spot. One thing's for sure: spend your vacation here and you will come to know why we love our Beach House so much!

About the host
Hosted by Vilia Kakis Gilles
'When our parents bought this oceanfront corner lot 60+ years ago,they couldn't have imagined the amount of joy this property would bring to our family. When we were kids, we delighted in exploring the state park in our back yard, sliding down the sand dunes and watching the herds of deer graze around the house. We spent hours at the beach, collecting shells, playing on the rocks and coming home soaking wet with our pails full of treasures. Our friends and cousins delighted in joining us as they took turns visiting all summer long to stay and play at the Beach House.
The house is simple; built originally as a summer beach house by our lovely parents, Greek immigrants, who absolutely had to be near the seashore. It is strong and cozy and was originally filled with as many beds as possible, as my parents, with their amazing Greek hospitality, never said 'no' to any of the legions of visitors who always wanted to come and stay. Many dignitaries and celebrities have stayed there over the years, Having traded in their luxury hotel suites for a home with no dishwasher, they delighted in sitting at my mother's table for a home cooked meal while watching the whales go by and sleeping like logs to the sound of the waves crashing.
After the last full time family member moved out, we decided to open up the opportunity of a vacation rental to others besides family members and friends through VRBO. While the house is probably not the fanciest available for rent, it is comfy and inviting. It is only one of two houses existing as oceanfront with the Asilomar State Park in the back yard. The views are immense and endless from every room. Don't forget to take a moment to sit outside at night. The waves are illuminated by the moon and the stars in the sky are so abundantly visible. We hope you will have a great time and come to love this spot as we all do!'

Why they chose this property
