Sand City’s themed ocean retreat: a private suite where every room channels Monterey Bay. Sleep in the Beach, shower in the Kelp, dine in the Deep. Soak in the hot tub under open sky, stretch out on the king platform bed, then walk the path to the sand. Cannery Row and the Aquarium are 10 minutes away; diving, golf, fishing, and hiking even closer. Local artists’ coastal work fills the walls (take a piece home). Live like Mia Kingtide in a home themed to the bestselling children’s series

Other things to note
Take Home a Piece of Monterey
This is the home of the author behind the Mia Kingtide children’s series, and you’ll find the books waiting for you inside. Read them with the kids during your stay, let the ocean adventures set the mood for your own, and if your family falls for them, the whole series is available on Amazon to take the story home. They make a memorable keepsake from a Monterey trip spent right where the books were dreamed up.
You’ll also find artwork and photography from talented local artists throughout the unit, capturing Monterey’s landscapes, wildlife, and coastal charm. If a piece speaks to you, just scan the code, pay the artist directly, and take it home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir. And for a little downtime, there are puzzle books to enjoy during your stay, yours to keep if you get hooked.
