"Had a great stay while attending races at Laguna Seca. The track was still 40 mins away but this was a much better value than staying in Monterey. The listing was accurate - note that you are staying in a guest apartment on the owner’s property. The driveway is rough getting up to the property and isn’t lit at night so be prepared."

Capurro Ranch at Moss Landing - Moss Landing House - 5BR with cottage at Elkhorn Slough

10/10 Excellent
"Our family spend 4 nights and enjoyed every moment. There was plenty of space for everyone both inside the house and in the backyard where we utilized the fire pit and made s’mores. My family utilized the well stocked board game/puzzle library. It’s a quick drive to Moss Landing State park where we watched the sunset on the beach. Despite not being in Monterey, the drive was really quick. Everyone in the family said the beds and pillows were comfy and contributed to a good night of sleep."
