We very much enjoyed our stay in Marina. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, but with good access to the main roads. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and the large kitchen and dining room was perfect for our group of seven adults. I would highly recommend this property to those wanting to explore Monterey Bay.
Loved the kitchen! Great place to stay with a group, very clean, spacious and good location, 3 minutes from a beach. Only recommendation is to have mirrors in the rooms, would have been very helpful with getting ready.Would stay again!
The house was very well taken care of and was in walking distance to cheap food, coffee, and groceries. Me and my 8 friends had a great time in the residence. The house is very well insulated so sound doesnât travel much between bedrooms. The driveway was plenty big for 3-row SUV plus room for guests. The house nice touches too, such as extra blankets, dishware and utensils, and a bottle of wine.
My younger son is in school in Berkeley and my older son and I met him in Monterey. The house was perfect all the appliances, kitchen provided essentials and more. House was very clean and we could sense they care for the guests staying there. The location was perfect for easy access to Monterey and Carmel.
The house is exactly as advertised. Perfect for our family getaway. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and candy and wine. The hosts were super responsive. The location was very close to everything. We recommend this place to everyone.
Good location. close to all amenities. spacious house. everything is marked for easy findings. house is very welcoming. the host are fast to respond to messages. wil used them again next time in town
This house was utterly charming. Iâve stayed in many rentals that were fine, but decorated in gray, beige and white. I loved the personality of this one, vibrant with color and imagination! The garden was really beautiful and so relaxing and private. Close to the beach with great hiking and biking trails nearby, just ten minutes from Monterrey! Looking forward to returning!
The home was everything thing we could have asked for. I nice quiet, clean home with all amenities available. All of the guests felt at home and enjoyed the stay.
This is a wonderful property. plenty of room for everyone with an awesome kitchen! Very comfortable beds & a cozy fireplace to gather around. Our family had an excellent week exploring Monterey's Aquarium, Cannery Row, and fisherman's wharf. Thank you so much for this perfect spot to stay! We'll be backagain for sure.
The home was far larger than we expected - a nice surprise! The host has all of the kitchen cabinets - and there are a lot of them - helpfully labeled. The gardens on the property are absolutely beautiful and the backyard is an impressive space. The location is convenient but it can get a bit noisy at night (at least the weekend we were there). Overall, it's a nice place for larger groups.
This was our annual girlsâ trip; 4 ladies over the age of 60. We were very impressed with the overall cleanliness of this rental. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds comfortable. While the weather wasnât ideal for sitting outside, the patio was amazing with so many different and beautiful flowering succulents and plants. The location is ideal if you are planning to spend time in Monterey and Carmel.
The owner/management team responded timely to all of our questions and the check-in process was very simple.
We highly recommend this location.
This property was the best VRBO property I've stayed in! Not only was it beautiful, clean, and just as described, but there were also other great amenities. The other guests were right! Everything was very clearly labeled and all of the dishes and cookware were provided for us. We have 4 teenage boys so this was extremely helpful! We were able to cook and had everything we needed. The house was spotless when we showed up. And the yard looked beautiful. Thanks for letting us share your house!
Overall the property was as described. The only downfall: No access to washer/dryer. The owners are quick to respond, great communication, and generous with flexibility that was needed.

We brought our family, ages 2-64, from 3 different states to this lovely home and had a wonderful time. Clean, well laid-out, nice extras like coffee pods and kids' dishes in the kitchen. Common spaces were ample, bedrooms were comfortable, bathrooms worked well, and the back yard was lovely for a cookout and for casual gathering. Nearby roads leading to major area attractions, walk-able to dunes overlooking the Pacific (watched the sun set 3 nights in a row), and the neighborhood felt comfortable and safe. The host is responsive, accommodating, and clear about rules and requests. We would absolutely enjoy staying here again.
Three couples rented this house in June while we competed in the Spartan Race in Monterey. The house was very clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. Itâs very spacious. The paved court yard was a pleasant surprise. The lush landscaping is beautiful. Thereâs plenty of parking in the driveway, on the street, and across the road. Itâs close to restaurants and shops. A short drive to Monterey, the wharf, and Canery Row. The owner made sure our check in was smooth. She even checked in with us by email during our stay. We will rent this house again.
Perfect for our reunion with 4 queen beds and a futon for additional single
The house proved ideal for 5 of us girlfriends from college days to gather. The open plan kitchen and adjacent large dining table and comfy couches easily accommodated us. This is not a chefâs kitchen and it is a bit older with tile countertops, but ideal for us. Generous refrigerator, great selection of coffees and teas, tons of counter space gave us breathing room. We used it as base camp to explore Carmel Valley and everything in between there and Marina. The neighborhood was safe. Parking for 4 vehicles was easy. Check in and check out instructions were clear and simple. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs sharing a full bath and 2 master suites upstairs (steep). The house is older but spotless. We didnât have time to sit outside but it has plenty of seating. Of note, everyone found their mattresses to be very comfortable. The house was easy to set temperature on the thermostat and kept us comfortable. The few questions we asked were immediately answered. Zero reservations recommending this rental.
Place was incredibly clean with beautiful backyard and garden. Owners were very responsive. It was nice to have multiple bedrooms with bathrooms connected.
2 concerns- they did not give access to the washer and dryer. This was a huge negative as one of the reasons for staying in a full house is access to a kitchen and laundry. I've never stayed in a place that locked up their washer and dryer. 2nd issue was when we went to take a shower the glass panel that slides shut shattered. We did not do anything inappropriate, there was no accident like running into it or it getting hit hard. It simply shattered when slid shut- although no major injury ensued we were charged via the rental insurance. I can see if it was something done on our part, but it wasn't. It made us afraid to take showers in the other bathrooms that had the same type of glass sliding door.
All in all it was a very comfortable property- safe, clean, and well stocked.
My husband and I are both college professors. We love travelling around the world with our kids! So we would also like to host travelers around the world. We are trying our best to make this house your home away from home and do wish you enjoy staying in the house while appreciating the beauty of Monterey Bay! Please feel free to contact us should you need any help!
