Hands down one of the best rentals I've stayed in. Not only great location and place, but also fully stocked and set up for a family vacation with plenty of amenities and a very nice and responsive host.
Absolutely amazing spot in Seaside, close to everything, view of the amazing Bay and beach, and the house inside was immaculate. 10/10 would stay again.
This was the perfect getaway! The property is absolutely beautiful and in a great location. Meli was the best host we ever had! Highly recommend this beautiful home - also minutes away from beautiful 17-mile drive and Carmel!
My entire family loved staying at this property. The view was beautiful, and it was a short drive to all the places that we needed to go. The house was extremely clean and well decorated, with all the amenities that we needed. The neighborhood was also very quiet.
We had a lovely stay at this very beautiful home! Meli is a great host! Easy to communicate with and she very thoughtfully pulled out all the stops to make our anniversary special! The home is clean, well organized and comfortable, meets all your needs. The views of the ocean are incredible! Short drive to Cannery Row/Aquarium. Perfect house, perfect host, we will be back again!
Spacious, clean, and beautiful! The home is very well-organized, in a convenient location, and it was clear that Meli put a lot of care and thought into making the home so welcoming!
Meli’s home is lovely and communication was very clear and helpful! Everything is super well organized and comfy, and proximity to the aquarium & restaurants unbeatable!
Thank you, Meli!

Thank you so much for taking to review your experience. I’m glad that you enjoyed my home and the surrounding area. I enjoyed hosting you and look forward to your next visit.
Second time at this a property. Meli is an incredible host.
This was our 2nd time at this property. Love everything about it including it is close to lots of tasty eats, Laguna Seca Raceway, downtown Monterey and a great view. Meli takes wonderful care of us and goes above and beyond. Looking forward to our next stay!! Highly recommend this property!!!
What a memorable spot! Definitely one of our favorite VRBO! The home was perfectly set up to relax, play, cook & enjoy the view, even with a rainy day. We appreciate that we had everything we needed, even some special treats from the Owner.
We loved our stay at meli's place! It was honestly the best VRBO I have ever been to and we have rented quite a few. Meli put so much effort in making her guests feel welcomed from the amazing communication to the gift basket and even toys/play area in the garage! It was awesome! My family and I had an amazing time. Thank you Meli!
What an incredible place! It was perfect for our family vacation in the Monterey area. Conveniently located to everything but tucked away in a great little neighborhood. Melí goes above and beyond with all the extra little details and was very easy to communicate with.
We had a fantastic stay at this location. Home is well organized and well thought out. The host is wonderful and even had goodies waiting for us upon arrival. Cleaning service went above and beyond. View was wonderful. Location was perfect as it was close to the race track and lots of eating options nearby. I will be aiming to stay here again next year when we race Laguna Seca. Exceptional!!!
The house was perfect and filled with all the amenities you'd need or want from a vacation rental. The host was very responsive and friendly, with a smooth check-in and check-out process. We even got an early check-in and late check-out for no extra cost. The only downside is the neighborhood is weirdly industrial and the beach is actually on the other side of a highway. But we still managed to find our way on foot.

Thank you so much for the 5 star review. I love hosting our Sand City home to guests visiting the Monterey area. When possible I offer early check-in and late check-out at no additional cost so that guests may settle in early and/or take their time leaving.
Sand City is our happy place. Our neighborhood of beach style houses sits on a hill overlooking the Monterey Bay, Sand City, Seaside & Monterey (Beautiful City Lights at night and an amazing ocean view).
Many of the nearby Sand City business warehouses have exterior walls that are professionally painted by mural artists from all over the world. Our community is very unique and we are so grateful to be a part of it and happy to open our home to visitors.
All my best,
Melí
My adult children and grandkids enjoyed our stay! Meli thought of everything a guest could need including toys for the kids! We enjoyed the fire pit on the balcony while we saw the beautiful sunset! The house had a nice layout. The bedrooms were cozy! She even has beach gear we could have used, but our stay was too short this time to enjoy them but we do plan on returning maybe later this year or next summer. Thank you Meli you are the best!
We stayed at what my kids call the blue house. We had an amazing stay where everything was just perfect. It looks like Meli the host knew exactly what my kids would enjoy and had toys tailored just for them. The views from the house was phenomenal. We got to downtown Monterey in 10 mins for all our planned activities and came back to the house for a good relaxing evening. Communication with the host was great and were on top of everything. They even accommodated late checkout was really sweet of them. We had a wonderful weekend at Sand City. Thank you once again.
Meli is an incredible host. From setting up the listing to check in to our final day, she was by our side making sure everything was perfect. The property itself has a beautiful view, is exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated and super comfortable. Waking up to the view of the ocean and watching the sunsets from the balcony was one of our favorite things. The listing itself is very accurate. The place was well stocked with thoughtful curated treats and all the basic necessities you’d need to feel at home including coffee, spices for cooking, dish washer and clothing detergent, soap and conditioner for showers and the most softest towels ever.
Thank you Meli for such a wonderful stay. Worth every penny! We will definitely stay here again!

Nadia, It was my pleasure to host you and your family. I strive to create a five star experience for every guest. I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated all of the amenities that are offered. I look forward to hosting your next adventure to the Monterey area. Melí
Hey, you! Yeah, you!! So, you’re the person who’s making a booking for perhaps a group of people. I have 2 suggestions to you:
1) def get this property. It’s perfect.
2) make sure you snag the upstairs bedroom.
You deserve it for taking your group to a great time! The upstairs bidet situation is *chefs kiss*.
Very communicative property manager. Lots of interesting snacks. Beautiful views of the ocean.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your 5 star experience. You absolutely deserved this trip and the master suite! Glad you enjoyed all of the “amenities” ;-). For your next stay you will find a new cozy chair added to the master suite and a teak bench in the master bathroom.
This property was fantastic. Meli was a wonderful host who kept in contact every step of the way and was very responsive.
The property has a beautiful view of Monterey and is in a centralized location that is is not far from downtown.
The upstairs living room is nice spacious and was able to accommodate our Christmas Dinner with all the supplies and amenities needed to prepare our meal.
The master bedroom is beautiful and the bathroom was large with unique amenities like photo therapy! The toilet was also a very high end toilet with an electronic bidet. Very luxurious.
The downstairs has 2 spacious rooms and a bathroom with high ceilings. My niece and nephew enjoyed their room and I was able to sleep comfortably in the 1st floor bedroom.
The property has plenty of dishes sheets pillows and centralized heating to make everyone comfortable.
This was the perfect place for our vacation. Meli also noticed us of a few items we left behind and gave my family an opportunity to coordinate a delivery. Excellent host and property would definitely recommend to other renters.
EVERYTHING was great! Our host, their attention to detail, the location, everything! The space worked out great as did having multiple bathrooms for us and the kids. We were a little anxious about having the kids on the lower level near the first floor doors and us on the second floor but seeing the police station 50' away helped ease our concerns quite a bit. We easily got around Monterey and had no issues coming and going from the house each day. We'd stay there again if we went back!

Familienurlaub
Es war alles sehr gut beschrieben, sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Leider befindet sich der Highway recht nahe.
This was the easiest VRBO that we have ever stayed in. Early check in, no problem, running late on the checkout, no problem, had a quick question, no problem. I’m telling you Meli was the most accommodating hostess that I’ve ever had. The house, is gorgeous, with a view of the bay. She left a gift basket (only time ever in any VRBO). Coffee and tea with creamer in a little tower, I mean, who does that, awesome. The house was decorated as though it was our house, with little knickknacks, candles, pictures and on and on. Other places are bland and void of personality, not here, completely felt like home. When you stay here you will be completely comfortable like we were, you will be able to talk in front of a fire in the front room or on the deck, like we did. But most importantly, you will be able to relax and enjoy the home with your friends and family.
Yes, I highly recommend you stay at Meli’s place.

Why they chose this property
Rosa de los Vientos Beach House has been a place of inspiration, peace and celebration. She seems to have chosen us and we want to share her with other families. During the pandemic we learned that gathering with family and friends is even more precious. The home has been a great place for special moments.
The home has easy access to everything along the Central Coast (Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, Lover's Point Park, Pebble Beach, Carmel-by-the Sea, Weather Tech Raceway). It is also close to shopping which is very convenient as time is not wasted picking up necessities so that more time can be spent with those closest to you.
What makes this property unique
Rosa de los Vientos has amazing views of Monterey Bay, city lights and sunsets. The house is close to the Public Mural Art District in Sand City's West End which lends the home to being a place of adventure. There is also a small park with swings and a teeter totter directly across from the house which makes it appealing for families with small children. A paknplay, 6-in-1 highchair/booster and jogging stroller are available for guest use.
