Compare Cheap Hotels Near Montara State Beach California

"We treated ourselves to the Ocean View Penthouse, which is very spacious and nicely appointed and does have good ocean views. The view would be even better if the one distorted window were replaced. There's a little frig, microwave, ice maker, and coffee maker (which can also heat water for tea). That's all great. Take your own dishes, cutlery, etc., if you want to eat in the room. One other consideration is there's no elevator and it's 49 steps up to the room, tho if you park in the back or north side then it's only 39 steps. The "fireplace" is electric and not very convincing, so that was disappointing but minor. Just don't picture yourselves cuddling up before a crackling fire. Montara State Beach is a short 10 minute walk away but not a nice one, as part of it is on Highway 1 with no shoulder and vehicles hurtling past. We'll probably drive it next time we go. It's a short drive to the Devil's Slide Trail and that's a good place to walk. There are trails up in the hills behind the Inn as well. We haven't explored those. All in all, we like staying there. This is our second stay. "

"First the great: This property is stunning architecturally and a joy to see. It is every bit as lovely as the pictures and more. I am a huge fan of good design (and have remodeled many homes) and enjoyed studying the home. Second, the not-so-great: The neighbors run a dog kennel next door. I love dogs and brought my two (the dog-friendliness was the sole reason for selecting Montara) but mine are trained. The neighbors keep dogs in a wire run mounted against the fence and EVERY time we stepped outside they went crazy - throwing their bodies against the fence, frenetically barking, etc. - and they were just a few feet away. I'm sure they are nice dogs but they sound vicious, intimidated my dogs, and made using the outdoor space impractical/unpleasant. Also, the owners could be a bit more generous in supplies. We were only two people and used the property very lightly (and 3 bedrooms were untouched). For $1k a night touches like supplying cloth napkins, a working kettle, a bottle of olive oil and the like would have been nice and expected. Now, the bad. This prop management company (The Wave) is simply terrible. They advertise through VRBO but don't follow VRBO's policies. We are vacation homeowners ourselves (and have used VRBO) and would never dream of treating guests the way we were treated. The abusive communication style when we reached them, and their unavailability when we needed them, cast a pall on our anniversary getaway."
