Stayed here many times. Can’t beat the view and the peace and quiet, beach is literally at your feet, place is adequately stocked, and there are some good places to eat nearby (Beach Street Cafe, couple miles to Main Street in Watsonville, Moss Landing Cafe). Krishen is easy to communicate with. We’ll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Condo Manager/Owner

Host profile image
The owners are professionals who have living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 25 years. This condo is our personal oceanfront retreat as well as a vacation rental. We love spending time here whenever we can, enjoying the beautiful ocean views, peaceful surroundings, refreshing sea breezes, and spectacular sunsets. We take pride in our coastal getaway and are delighted to share this special place with guests who appreciate the beauty and tranquility of oceanfront living.

Why they chose this property

A peaceful getaway that feels like your own private beach! We especially love being on the top (third) floor, where the condo is wonderfully quiet and filled with abundant natural light, beautiful ocean views, and a spacious, airy feeling enhanced by the high ceilings in the living room. At night, we love opening the windows and patio doors to enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze and the soothing sounds of the waves as we drift off to sleep.

We previously owned a beautiful second-floor condo in the same community for 10 years, and although it offered spectacular ocean views, we sometimes missed the natural light, openness, and privacy we wanted. Eventually, we decided to sell it and purchase this top-floor condo, which we remodeled to create the peaceful oceanfront retreat we had always envisioned.

One of our favorite things to do is simply relax on the comfortable sofas, sip a cup of coffee in the morning or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening, and watch wave after wave roll onto the shore. It is a special place where we can slow down, reconnect with nature, and truly unwind. We hope you will love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy beautiful ocean views from both the living room and bedroom of this spacious, top-floor condo. Relax on the sofa or sit out on the deck and take in the spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. Open the windows and patio doors to welcome the refreshing ocean breeze and soothing sounds of the waves. With its high ceilings, abundant natural light, and peaceful top-floor location, this condo is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy quiet moments, and experience the beauty of oceanfront living.
