Spend your days wandering Cannery Row, exploring the renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, tasting local wines, or watching sea otters play along the waterfront. With direct beach access, ocean views, and proximity to trails, dining, and the historic Wharf, this home makes it easy to balance relaxation with adventure. The Space: Inside, a coastal-modern warmth sets the tone as the spacious living room opens to sweeping water views. A smart TV, fireplace, comfortable couch, and two armchairs create an inviting space to unwind after a day by the ocean. Adjacent, the dining table for four anchors the open layout, making shared meals feel effortless and connected. The kitchen blends style with functionality, featuring stainless steel appliances, counter seating for two, and open sightlines straight to the Monterey Wharf and Cannery Row—letting you prep breakfast with a view. Slide open the doors to step onto the private balcony, where coastal breezes and shimmering bay views set the stage for morning coffee or sunset wine. With beach access just outside, plus thoughtfully provided beach essentials, you can head straight to the sand for picnics, strolls, or simply soaking up Monterey’s ocean charm. Or step right outside your door where the community pool awaits. Whether you're planning a romantic retreat, a quiet coastal escape, or a scenic California getaway, How Sweet It Is delivers the kind of peaceful, waterfront stay you’ll want to make a tradition. Also, just outside, is the Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail! Walk, or bring your bikes, and head north for a few stops, but the real fun is to the south and west where you can head through Cannery Row, into Pacific Grove. For the advanced bike riders, stick to Ocean View Blvd, head around to Sunset Dr and make your way through Pebble Beach on down towards Carmel-by-the-Sea on 17-Mile Drive. Don't forget though, you still need to get back! In all, if you follow this path and ride back to the townhouse, you're looking at 22-25 miles and about 2 hours plus all your stops! This home comfortably sleeps 4 guests between 2 private bedrooms. Bedroom #1 includes a queen size bed, a fireplace, a desk, balcony access, and an ensuite bathroom with a single vanity and a walk-in shower. Bedroom #2 includes 2 twin size beds. This home also includes a half bathroom and a full guest bathroom with a single vanity and shower/tub combo. THINGS TO NOTE: • Washer and dryer in home. • Driveway parking for 1 vehicle available. There are additional guest parking spaces in the community. • This is in the city of Monterey. All stays must be at least 29-nights or 30-days. • This unit is not ocean front. This is the second unit from the sand. Visiting Monterey feels like stepping into a coastal postcard—where rugged bluffs, sandy coves, and sparkling ocean views meet charming historic streets and world-class attractions. Explore the famous Cannery Row waterfront, stroll through the shops and tasting rooms of downtown, or tour the renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium for an up-close look at marine life. Scenic drives along 17-Mile Drive and the Pacific Coast Highway deliver unforgettable vistas, while nearby Carmel-by-the-Sea adds storybook architecture and upscale dining. Whether you're here for beaches, wildlife, wine, food, or breathtaking scenery, Monterey offers a relaxed yet sophisticated California coastal getaway. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the condo: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Office ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107790000/107786200/107786137/f9b1da3e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enjoyable 2-bedroom apartment in downtown Monterey with Cable & WiFi Old Monterey - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-27&endDate=2026-03-28&selected=107786137&PinnedHotelID=107786137&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, iron/ironing board, WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101540000/101537000/101536902/a38c68ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Standard Queen Room Near Beach and Across Lake!
