Recent Monterey Bay guest reviews

We appreciated the spices in the spice rack so we didn’t have to buy them for 2 or 3 meals! Thank you 😊

The home is beautiful with a gorgeous view. Steps to the beach and ocean. The house has everything you need and is very accommodating. Perfect for a family stay.

The Boardwalk Dream spot is a great, centrally located location to have access either on the beach or downtown Santa Cruz. If you are walking, be prepared for lots of stairs, inside and outside of the rental. To get downtown, it's a walk down quite a of stairs, and it can be tough if you aren't in the best of shape. If you need groceries, the closest thing is in downtown Traders Joe's and they have a great selection of citrus.
