Slightly elevated and completely open to the living room is the dining room with an off-white caned breakfront cabinet holding glassware and an table with cane-backed chairs that can seat up to 6.

At the perimeter is a bar with stool-seating for 4 for casual meals or conversing with the cook. The main work area revolves around a large island containing sinks, a built-in stove top and a stainless steel dishwasher. There is also a stainless steel oven and microwave and a large refrigerator faced with pine. Everything you could think of for preparing and serving memorable gourmet meals is here, including a selection of cookbooks. Brew your morning coffee and exit from the kitchen with your cup of java to an enclosed patio with a couch, chairs and a table. The spacious master bedroom has a sophisticated French feel with a cool robin’s-egg-blue and white palette, broad-striped wallpaper, wall to wall white rug, filmy white draperies, a white-caned dresser, mirror and end tables, and a white wrought-iron king bed with luxurious linens. There is a small private deck with a lounge chaise for sunbathing or reading a book. A small seating area in the master includes a white sofa and an arm chair. Take a relaxing bath by candlelight in the deep spa tub with jets in the master bathroom, his-and-hers sinks and separate shower. A second bedroom in a soft buttery yellow has a white wrought-iron queen bed with bird-themed coverlet and white end tables. A second bath with a shower has a spa feel with its taupe and beige tiling. Relax with a book in a third room, that could be used as an office, with a sofa that converts to a queen bed to sleep up to two children. City of Del Rey Oaks STR License #004

This small city is a gateway to the natural beauty and cultural richness that define the central coast of California.
One of the main draws to Del Rey Oaks is its proximity to the stunning landscapes and outdoor activities that the area is famous for. Visitors can enjoy the nearby Fort Ord National Monument, which offers miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding through rolling hills and coastal oak woodlands. The monument is a haven for wildlife and wildflowers, especially in the spring when the landscape is awash with color.
For those interested in marine life and coastal experiences, Del Rey Oaks is just a short drive from the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, where visitors can explore the rich marine habitats of the Monterey Bay. The nearby Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row offer a glimpse into the area's fishing and canning history, as well as opportunities for whale watching and sampling fresh seafood.
Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the city's proximity to some of the world's most famous golf courses, including Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill. The temperate climate and stunning coastal views make for an unparalleled golfing experience.
Del Rey Oaks also benefits from its location within the Monterey wine region. Wine lovers can venture out to the surrounding vineyards and tasting rooms to sample some of the excellent varietals produced in this part of California. The region's cool climate is particularly suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and many wineries offer tours and tastings with picturesque backdrops.
For a more relaxed day, visitors can explore the Del Rey Oaks Gardens, a peaceful spot for a leisurely walk or a picnic. The city's small-town charm is complemented by its friendly community and local events that often celebrate the area's natural beauty and resources.
While Del Rey Oaks may serve as a quiet home base, its strategic location means that the cultural and historical attractions of Monterey, the scenic beauty of Big Sur, and the charm of Carmel-by-the-Sea are all within easy reach. This makes Del Rey Oaks an ideal spot for travelers looking to explore the best of the Monterey Peninsula while enjoying a more secluded and peaceful environment.
