Great place on the beach!

We loved our few days here. The building is right on the beach! This place is on the ground floor and near the parking lot for ease of unpacking, but it's a short and pretty walk out to the beach. The house is well stocked with lots of extras like towes, blankets, games, balls, kites, et. We will stay again when in the area! It's a short drive to Monterey, Carmel, and other cities.
