The condo has been beautifully remodeled and furnished. It is very comfortable, has a great location, and 180 degree view of the Monterey Bay. We have previously rented other homes/condos in the area and this one is definitely a stand out. Thank you to Sharon and Kevin. You stayed in touch with us to make sure all was going well.

We love hearing how much our guests enjoy staying in our new condo. We're looking forward to your next stay! Thank you.
From the moment we stepped inside this stunning 2-bed/2-bath oceanfront condo, our jaws dropped and never came back up. This isn’t just a “remodeled” unit – it’s been transformed into a luxurious, magazine-worthy retreat with the finest finishes imaginable: gleaming quartz counters, spa-like bathrooms with rain showers and designer tiles, sleek hardwood floors, and high-end furnishings that make you feel like you’re staying in a boutique hotel rather than a rental.The open-concept living area is flooded with natural light thanks to the massive floor-to-ceiling sliders that frame the most jaw-dropping, unobstructed ocean views we’ve ever woken up to. Every evening we threw those sliders wide open and let the rhythmic sound of the waves become our personal soundtrack while we watched sunsets so spectacular they honestly defy description – fiery oranges melting into cotton-candy pinks, right from the comfort of the plush sectional.Both bedrooms are serene sanctuaries with ultra-comfy beds dressed in hotel-quality linens. The bathrooms harness a spa like feel with heated floors and a state of the art bidet. The condo is blissfully quiet – thick walls and quality construction mean you hear nothing but the ocean, even on busy weekends. Having a dedicated parking spot right by the condo is the cherry on top – no circling lots or lugging bags across the street.Every detail has been thoughtfully curated: fully stocked chefs kitchen, WiFi,and smart TVs in all rooms. The best.
Very well-appointed apartment with 180-degree ocean views! Easy instructions, walkable to beach and restaurants, close drive to everything. I recommend this stay!
I am an interior designer from Dallas and I completely approve this condo! Every single detail shows great intentionality to comfort. You KNOW this host has anticipated your every comfort. Extremely well equipped and spotless. Small but lives much larger than its square footage. Honestly this lives very upscale and the kitchen is perfection. A Viking gas range? Yes indeed. Quartzite countertops? Dual drawer dishwasher? Yes! And the views!!! These views at this price point was unexpected for us, but combined with the luxe feel? We were blessed indeed. Don’t pass this up. Short drive to Monterey and walk to a nice beach. Perfection! Outstanding host!

About the host
Hosted by Sharon & Kevin
We are from the San Joaquin Valley and enjoy coming to the Santa Cruz area for so many things. It's very close to Monterey and Carmel, along with sweet little town of Capitola for their boutique shopping and dining. Then there's the Santa Cruz board walk with the roller coaster and all the games and rides they offer.
Why they chose this property
In looking for a property, we chose this condo, as we previously owned and rented Unit L, but there was just one amenity missing...a large balcony for dining outside on the deck. When this property came on the market we jumped at it. We just love eating outdoors and watching the whales frolicking and sunsets. It doesn't get any better!!!!
What makes this property unique
The VIEWS are the best for any condo in the county. And we recently completely renovated it, even the furniture! It's so relaxing and comfortable.
