Gateway to the greater Monterey / Santa Cruz area
My family and I had a great stay in Castroville over the holiday weekend. Castroville ended up being a good choice for us because we were able to get to Monterey easily, enjoy the activities around Moss Landing, and go fruit picking up in Watsonville. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a location that gives you access to a large part of the bay.

Comfortable Family Getaway
The relaxing home in Castroville was perfect for our family of four. We felt instantly at home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The washer and dryer were clean and in good working order. We appreciated the bathroom having two cabinets for toiletries and the great water pressure in the shower. The town of Castroville is perfectly located to take advantage of the Big Sur area. We were less than 20 minutes from the city of Monterey which offered extensive dining options. We were only 5 minutes from the beach. Our family loved Moss Landing which was only a 5 minute drive. There was an adorable restaurant, the Power Plant that served delicious coffees and drinks as well as a full menu all day. You were surrounded by plants in a cute and unique environment. We ate at Phil’s Market. It was a simple sandwich shop that provided a lot of options and surprisingly delicious flavors. The beach st Moss Landing was a perfect place to spend time with the family on the Pacific. This is also where whale watching, eco, and fishing tours are located. We went on the eco tour and saw sea lions, harbor seals, and sea otters. This is a great place to watch sea lions, they gather on the docks around Moss Landing. From this house you’re also near many vineyards. The 101 offers 200 vineyards and historic Spanish Missions. Extremely Fresh produce is sold throughout the region as it’s produced there. We loved it so much we didn’t want to leave.

Great location, perfect host!
For anyone wanting to explore the Monterey Peninsula, this home is a great place to set up your base camp. It's a very easy location to branch out from in any direction. It's a warm, cozy house with a nice kitchen for those wanting to explore their inner chef. The beds are comfortable and the shower is great! Most of all, the host Caleb is very attentive to the details in his texts and calls. He made the check in and out as easy as it could possibly be. My wife and I will definitely be returning!

Cozy House
We enjoyed our recent stay at this property which was very cute and cozy with comfortable bedding. The kitchen, dining and living room were open with a beautiful wood bar with extra seating on both sides. Loved the whale and sea gull that were painted on the rocks in the front yard which was a nice touch. The property manager, Caleb was very accommodating and responded quickly to our questions.

Clean, quiet and family friendly
The house is simple, immaculately clean and a good fit for our family of 4. The kids enjoyed the back yard and proximity to the Salinas River State Beach, as well as the proximity to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I appreciated the convenience of cooking our own meals in the small kitchen. In absence of a TV we enjoyed bonding over board games, journaling and reading. The first night there we had a need for an extra blanket, which we couldn't find, and the owner was very responsive in quickly supplying additional bedding upon request, the next morning. We really enjoyed our stay and will consider it for future visits.

Clean, pleasant, quiet retreat near Moss Landing and Monterey
My friends/colleagues and I stayed at this house for a retreat. It worked wonderfully for this purpose. The house was clean and pleasant, and the host was friendly and accommodating. I would say it comfortably sleeps 5. We did not use the patio as this is a cooler time of year and the patio furniture was not outside. We would definately stay here again.
