My wife and I have stayed at vrbo listings for many years, and this by far has been our best vacation. We were looking for a place with a view of the ocean, and we got that and so much more. We spent a lot of time on the deck eating dinner, reading books, and admiring the ocean sunsets. A beautiful hummingbird visited me daily to get the red flowers about a foot away from my lounge chair. I took a hot shower first thing in the morning on the private hot tub enclosure and then sat in the the hot tub to begin my day. We went on some great hikes in Point Lobos, Partington Cove, Andrew Molera, and the beach at Gerratapa and Carmel. We even used the complementary tickets provided to go the the Monterey Aquarium, really special. Lots of wood is provided and we had several warm fires as Carmel gets a bit chilled at night. As others have said, everything is provided you can imagine. Carmel about 10 minutes away had some great restaurants too. My wife and I wanted a chance to get away and connect and this sure fits the bill. We highly recommend this getaway!
