This was our second stay here-- the perfect beachside home away from home for our family vacation! It is clean, comfortable and well appointed--everything we needed for our wonderful week there. Easy communication with the host and we hope to stay there again the next time we visit the Monterey area.

Thank you for returning to Sea La Vie and for your review, Cyndy. We're glad your family had the perfect beach vacation! - Gina & Family
The house, view and community are exactly as described. Gina made things super easy and enjoyable with great communication and check ins to make sure things were as expected. Working as motorsport photographers, we were in town to shoot the IMSA race at Laguna Seca and the house had just the right distance from the track. Easy and reasonable drive to it but at the same time, enough away from it to make you feel like you have some separation (IYKYK).

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Holly. Happy to hear that Sea La Vie is in the right location for those going to Laguna Seca. You were also great to work with. Please reach out for your next race! - Gina & Family
Spacious house with attention to detail and welcoming layout. Unobstructed view of ocean within a bay affording nice sandy beach walks. Gina, the host was incredible, responding quickly to questions we had from the day we booked the reservation to our final departure date. The house offered all of the essentials and then some. Proximity to Monterey and Aquarium was good. Great hot tub near the house. There were three generations aim our family all told and each of us had a great time

Thank you, Bruce! Happy to hear that the home met everyone's needs and that you hope to return. Many thanks - Gina & Family
The home has a beach view that immediately let me know I picked the right place. Comfortable beds and perfectly sized entertaining areas. Space to dine together and share time. 62 step from the deck to the beach!!! Amazing access. Saw less than 20 people on the private beach over the 3 day weekend. Peaceful and serene. I would definitely return.

Thank you for your review, Reginald. The proximity to a quiet beach certainly makes it a gem! We're glad you found the beds to be comfortable and plan to return. - Gina & Family
Loved the activity area with pickleball, basketball, pool, etc. worked out well for kids. Very quiet area, weather wasn't great because of wind and high surf but would stay again.

Thank you for the review Diane. I'm sorry to hear that the weather wasn't favorable for your stay. I'm glad the kids loved the outdoor sports area. Plenty of waya to keep them active! Thank you again. - Gina
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful beach house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean views and the peaceful, private atmosphere. The home is impeccably decorated—bright, airy, and full of coastal charm. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, from the cozy linens to the well-stocked kitchen.

Thank you so much for your detailed review Jonna. We are so happy that you had such an incredible stay! It is definitely a peaceful place. - Gina & Family
The view from the living room and dining room was 100% dunes and ocean. The space was perfect and we all love our annual stay in Gina's unit. Our family gathers to play, boogie board, soak in the hot tub, swim in the pool, play tennis, and play bocce ball. It is the highlight of our year. Gina has the washroom ready for laundry, games to play, DVD's to watch, beach chairs, unbrella, all one needs if they have not been packed to bring.
