Vacation Rental Recommendation
Chang House Monterey
We personally recommended this splendid vacation rental perched on a lush hillside
overlooking the Monterey Bay and the town of Monterey below. This quality
vacation rental is absolutely perfect for small family reunions
and special gatherings with a 5 bdrm, 4 bath main house,
plus a very private and separate luxury 2 bdrm,
1 bath honeymoon cottage with a
"dreamy" Bay view.

Shopping Monterey
The shops and galleries of nearby Carmel.
In the small village of Carmel by the sea, just down the road from the city of Monterey,
is a famous world class shopping Mecca. Without exaggeration this village has
some of the most exciting shops outside Beverly Hills. Shopping here,
unlike city shopping, is a delightful, relaxed experience.
The galleries are host to world class art and
the restaurants are unparalleled!
"My favorite place to shop
in California!",
