 1 Bedroom Walk To Beach Condo

You know what they say about good things coming in small packages? This compact condo at Ocean Harbor House—one of Monterey’s only beachfront complexes—is a case in point.

This condo has carport parking for one vehicle right outside the front door. Del Monte Beach is at your doorstep… and if there’s anything better than waking up to ocean views, it’s sleeping to the sound of the surf. Ocean Harbor House offers a weight room, two swimming pools, hot tubs, his and hers dry saunas, and two recreation rooms with pool and ping-pong tables. less ↑

Cosy convenient studio right at the water

Had a lovely time at #312! We stayed for a month in August 2024. This is as comprehensive a review as I can do about the place, the location, and everything else. Anything in the following review that might sound like a complaint is ONLY meant to let you know of minor, and I stress, MINOR, inconveniences you might need to work around. We adore the place and MVR and would stay there again anytime. The unit is clean, quiet, has one parking space right at the door, and is close to the beach. Easy to spend as much time as you like at the water. The beach right in front of the condos is not crowded, even on holidays, even though there are a fair number of folks who use Surf Way for beach access, and you can't blame them -- free all-day parking right at the beach, and it's a ways away from the rest of town. The sand is very fine and excellent for long walks; I've walked all the way down to the municipal beach and up to the hotel one exit up in Seaside. There is a SUPER convenient hose located next to the recycling and trash that makes it easy to rinse off the sand before you go in. If you're so inclined, you can walk through the complex and down to the beach through the access gates. Despite those having access cards, they are almost always open; I think the residents don't find having to carry a tag or card key convenient. The parking space is NARROW. If you have a large car or SUV, pull in VERY carefully. If your mirrors fold down, fold 'em. I was able to park my crossover-sized Pontiac Vibe , but It was necessary to be careful. Fortunately there's usually quite a lot of parking on the street except for on the weekends, when street parking is at a premium. The guest spots inside the complex tend to be taken most of the time; I suspect it's folks with more than one car taking advantage of those spaces, but I don't run the HOA, so I'm simply observing. Monday to Friday you can get a space right at the entrance to the part of the complex where the unit is, so mostly it didn't matter even if both our cars were here. Kitchen is pretty well equipped; we mostly used the tea kettle and the microwave, though I did do one large batch of cooking in the oven and found that as quite nice and as good as at home (thank you for having parchment paper in the drawers!). Dishwasher is older so a bit loud but very quick and efficient. Recommend starting it BEFORE bedtime. The microwave over the stove was out of order during our stay but MVR supplied a backup microwave and that was fine. Lots of frying pans and baking pans, but only one pot, so it's a problem to, say, make oatmeal and boil eggs at the same time. Cabinets are a little inconvenient; the glassware is in the cabinet and convenient, but plates and bowls are all located ABOVE the built-in microwave. You need to be pretty tall to reach up there; I'm 6' 4" and it was a bit of a stretch. We ended up mostly leaving them stacked on the counter while were were there, as it was far too high for my 5' 3" spouse, and she didn't want drag in the armchair and stand on it. (Not polite, or stable enough.) There is a narrow cabinet next to the microwave that we used to stack a few plates sideways, but it's too narrow for the larger bowls. There's no dish drying rack, but that seems to be common in most rental units. Oven mitts, dishtowels, plenty of utensils. Bed is a queen with a foam mattress, plenty of pillows. My wife found it a bit uncomfortable, but it's basically okay. Side next to the bath is more worn in. Bedroom lights are not on the switch and are quite bright; we brought a set of IKEA smart bulbs and a controller so it wasn't surface-of-the-sun in there at night. Don't forget to look up over the bedroom doors -- there's a half-dozen beach towels up there. :) Lots of spare blankets stacked in the closet, but the weather was mild and we didn't end up needing them. Unsure whether they might be a bit dusty from sitting. A nice vacuum cleaner in there as well. There's a fair bit of hanging space and hangers, but only a few small baskets for storage. We mostly lived out of our suitcases, which was perfectly fine, and used the hanging space for robes and things we were airing out. Heat is baseboard heat, and goes from "off" to "sauna" at the lowest setting. We definitely didn't crank it up! This is just the way baseboard heating works, but fortunately the insulation is very good indeed, so turning the heat on for a couple minutes to warm things up is all you need to keep the place nicely warm overnight if there's a chilly day. I imagine that if you were here in the winter, you'd want (and need!) the heat to be pretty aggressive. Deck is nice, with three-panel sliding door and a magnetic screen (MUCH nicer than a sliding one!) and very comfortable furniture. Spent a couple afternoons reading out there and enjoying the sea air. Vertical blinds, but we honestly left them open almost all the time -- the view of town and the bay from the couch is really nice. Speaking of the living room: couch is plenty comfortable, even nice to sleep on should you decide to. It has a pull-out trundle bed underneath. Great TV, super fast internet. (Note that the "reset everything" option to log out of the TV doesn't log you out of YouTube; you need to open the app and log out manually. That's VISIO's shortcoming, not the condo's.) My wife did several Zoom meetings and I did a couple Internet radio broadcasts with no problem at all. There's a very useful shoe rack next to the front door, and a big open space between that and the couch. We were only coming from San Jose, so we brought down an IKEA table and chair to have an "office" space there. The armchair in the living room is very nice to sit in too. Big coffee table that ended up doubling as a dinner table for us. Bath is convenient. Single sink, but plenty of counter space, and pretty much any cleaning stuff you'd need for anything under the counter. Nothing required maintenance while we were there. MVR offered to have the microwave replaced while we were in, but because the installer had been out sick, we decided we were fine with the temp microwave and decided not to take a chance on getting sick ourselves during our vacation. Plumbing was fine, never a clog or a problem. We didn't use the gym, pool, or laundry while we were there, so we can't comment on those. We have used the drop-off laundry in Pacific Grove before when renting here, and it was just as easy to keep doing that. It was warm enough to splash in the ocean (though admittedly, still not WARM) and we limited ourselves to that. Location is great! There's a Safeway and Walgreens (and a McDonalds and Home Depot) about a 5 minute drive away, and Whole Foods and Trader Joes are maybe ten. Target is 15 minutes. Easy access to the rest of town; US 1 south can be reached by driving straight out on Casa Verde, and Del Monte goes right through to Lighthouse, so it's easy to get to Cannery Row, Pacific Grove, and Asilomar. US 1 north is an easy onramp a little north on Del Monte. The only thing I'd consider an actual downside is that the next-door neighbor is REALLY SENSITIVE about the front door making noise. It self-closes, and if it's open very far at all, it closes fairly hard. Plus, the lockbox tends to thunk fairly loudly against the doorframe. After we got in, she came over to tell us that she "does research and needs it quiet; please don't let the door close too hard". Sure, we didn't know, and we did our best to not let it make noise after, but she did buttonhole us at Whole Foods a couple times and complain about the lockbox thumping against the doorframe, which seemed a bit on the overdemanding side. Be forewarned. (MVR, if you could move the lockbox, that would probably fix 90% of her problem, and it ls DEFINITELY a "her" problem.) Basically, we loved it, it was like being at home only better, and we would rent it again in a shot. (We actually wanted to extend, but someone else had reserved it for the following month!) It worked quite well for two people, but I think a larger family might find it overcrowded. If you're a single person who needs a retreat, it is OUTSTANDING. less
