How Sweet It Is – Sand, Siestas, and Vistas

Summary:

Just steps from the sand in Monterey’s Del Monte Beach enclave, How Sweet It Is offers a front-row seat to one of California’s most scenic coastal destinations. 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!
