About this property

Sandcastle - Sand City House - Hidden Beach Gem

Nestled at the edge of Seaside in Sand City (population 372), this home rates a major WOW. (Or two or three.) The upper level features a swoon-worthy kitchen, dining for eight, a living room with a large TV and fireplace, a master suite  (with a private bath and walk-in shower), a powder room, laundry, and the piece de resistance: a covered patio with a firepit and a sectional for lounging.  Downstairs, there’s a bedroom/den with a fold-out sofa and a desk, a full bath with a tub/shower, and a guestroom that opens to the backyard (w/dining table, chaises and a barbecue).  From here, you can walk to the local craft brewery or enjoy a slice of pie at Sweet Elena’s bakery—while perusing the fanciful wall murals created by Sand City’s many artists. Ocean lovers will appreciate easy access to the beach via the Tioga Road overpass (approx. seven-minute walk). There’s also a corner playground for the kiddies, and if you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll find scores of delis and diners nearby, along with a gamut of international cuisines (Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, German, Italian and more).   Street and driveway parking only. Short term rental permit: STR 22-14
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful property and would stay here again! The road noise looks like it'd be awful, but we didn't hear anything. No concerns about the neighborhood either. Beds were great, facilities excellent, and it made for a great base for excursions to Pinnacles, Monterrey, and beyond.

Host was communicative and transparent. Check in/out instructions were easy to follow. Space was well decorated and stocked. We had a nice evening eating on the balcony around the fire pit. Only things to keep in mind are that the AC doesn’t work and traffic between the VRBO and Monterey/Carmel-by-the-Sea can be heavy, but it’s still a much cheaper accommodation than you would find in those more popular areas.

Very cute well appointed home very central to everything. The only thing that could be better was the water pressure and temperature- the shower would not stay hot. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Very comfortable beachy house which was suitable for toddlers. The location was convenient and there is a pocket park with a playground like a block away. We had a great stay.

Great house for visiting with your group.

I spent 5 nights with 3 family members and this house was the perfect place to visit and catch up with each other. The open area including the kitchen, dining, and living was light filled. The house is located in a very quiet area. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well supplied, The beds were comfortable.

Great place to stay at

Really enjoyed our time in this house. We stayed in a few different properties on this trip and this one was by far the best! Plenty of space for 6 people, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms and very clean. It's on a dead end street, so very quiet.
