An economical option compared to houses closer to the beach. Nonetheless access to Monterey State Beach, excellent, is straight down the hill. Many other attractions at an easy driving distance, but not just a walk across the road behind the house, as might be inferred from the advertisement. The house is easy to find, with a big illuminated street number, and there is room to park 3 cars, 2 in the driveway and one on street. The garden in front is well cared for and the house is clean. We grandparents took one room, and our grown children with their spouses and our grandchildren took the other two rooms. The kitchen is large and had all the accessories, like coffee grinder/maker, corkscrew, etc. etc. and a nice big refrigerator. The dining room table was very nice, high with stools, easily seats 8. We also enjoyed the outside table that caught the morning sun, outside by the hot tub, and we did enjoy the hot tub in the evening. The front deck chairs have a great view out over the bay and the city.
A couple of gripes, the kitchen cabinets were built for someone 7 feet tall. My wife couldn't reach anything! There were only 4 spoons in the cutlery drawer, but an oversupply of forks and knives. The dishwasher was out of order, no problem to wash by hand. Nothing major. You will be amused by the eclectic arrangement of furnishings and artifacts!
