Oceanfront La Selva Beach Home w/ Fireplace, Views & Beach Access | Sand Castle
Welcome to Sand Castle, your front-row seat to the sweeping shoreline of La Selva Beach—an uncrowded stretch of the Monterey Bay known for its peaceful atmosphere, soft sand, and panoramic sunsets. From this oceanfront perch, you’re just moments from local gems like Seacliff State Beach, the charming cafés of Aptos Village, and scenic coastal trails perfect for morning strolls.
Inside, an airy open-concept layout frames uninterrupted ocean views from nearly every angle. The spacious living room invites you to settle in with a crackling fireplace, an oversized TV, and plush seating that opens directly onto the beach-facing windows. Just beyond, a dining table for four sits beside a chef’s kitchen equipped with high-end appliances, generous counter space, and everything you need for at-home meals with a postcard backdrop. A washer and dryer add everyday convenience to your stay.
This home sleeps up to eight guests across two comfortable bedrooms and a flexible living space. The primary suite features a king bed, warm wood detailing, and a private ensuite bathroom for a restful retreat after a day in the sun. The second bedroom offers two double beds—ideal for families or groups—while a full shared bathroom serves the main level. In the living room, a double sleeper sofa adds additional space for guests.
Whether you’re sipping morning coffee overlooking the surf, gathering around the fireplace for cozy evenings, or stepping directly onto the sand for a barefoot walk, Sand Castle offers the quintessential California beachfront experience—calm, bright, and effortlessly connected to the coast’s natural beauty.
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!
Monterey is one of California’s most enchanting coastal destinations, known for its dramatic ocean vistas, abundant marine life, and rich cultural history. Visitors come for the scenic drives, charming waterfront streets, world-class dining, and immersive encounters with nature—whether you’re exploring tide pools, wandering historic Cannery Row, or watching sea otters float through the bay. With a blend of rugged coastline, pristine beaches, and vibrant local culture, Monterey offers an unforgettable blend of relaxation, adventure, and classic California charm.

My wife and were absolutely dazzled by this wonderful property, clean organized and all inclusive I'm already thinking about begging for another stay. We would drop everything to come back....Thank you so much for our new memories!Russ and Rosie
We had the best time! The location, view, access to the beach… all amazing!! The house was adorable too, exactly what the pictures showed. The 5 of us fit perfectly. Check in and check out processes were straightforward and easily accessible in the app. We would love to rent again! Thank you!
Property and location were beautiful. Could be cleaner- the floors were obviously not mopped for a time - bare feet soles turned black walking around the house, sinks had white residue. Also garbage cans were already full when we got there so there was no place for us to place ours.
