"This is a remarkable house, hidden in the redwoods on a small mountain road several miles from Watsonville. It's a uniquely designed home, a great kitchen, and four bedrooms. The road and driveway up to the house are themselves quite an experience, and guests should be aware that there are quite a few stairs up to the large deck. "

"Nice family trip to the beach. The condo was spacious and the primary bedroom was fantastic. The other two bedrooms were small, but were still accommodating. The property is very well maintained. There’s paths to walk on for a nature walk and the beach has some hard sand that makes long walks on the beach very easy to do. There were 6 of us that went and there was plenty of space. Great stay!"

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic stay for our family! The location could not be beat, the hotel was absolutely beautiful, and we were very comfortable. Parking was also extremely easy and we were happy to be walking distance from several eateries, both local spots & recognizable chains. If we are ever lucky enough to come back to the area, we would happily stay here again."
