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.
We had a lovely stay at this home and truly appreciated the thoughtful touchesâespecially the tray of goodies and the bottle of wine, which made us feel very welcome after a long trip. The space was comfortable for our family, and everything was well set up for a relaxing visit.While we didnât have any direct communication with the host during our stay, it wasnât necessaryâthe check-in process was smooth and everything we needed was clearly provided. One small note: the floors couldâve used a bit more attention, as we noticed they were not very clean and the blender had some stuff in it, so we couldnât use it for our margaritas. And, the tree over the driveway could be trimmed a bit more to allow two cars to park in the driveway.Overall, we enjoyed our time and would consider staying again next time weâre in town. Thank you!
The house was clean and spacious, but the decor is very outdated and wornThe bedspreads seemed very old. Everything was labelled which was helpful. Easy to follow instructions for checking in and leaving.
Our family of 5 had plenty of space. Location was good for where we wanted to go: Carmel, Big Sur, and we drove to San Francisco after our stay. We also appreciated the on-property parking. Quiet neighborhood (other than the fireworks on July 4th!) We would definitely stay here 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.
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!
We rented this place for a short Thanksgiving trip with our daughter, her husband and 4 year old daughter, and our son. Unfortunately, our granddaughter developed pink-eye and she and her parents couldn't join us. Then our son ended not being able to join us for more than a day, so it ended just the two of us in this very nice, large place for 3 nights. We kind of rattled around in all that space, but it was very clean and comfortable, with fresh flowers on the table and plants in several rooms and a nice big kitchen, and the owners were very responsive.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
We were here only briefly but really enjoyed our stay.
Since we travel rather heavily, but had to move quickly, the labeling in the kitchen and other places was very helpful. The house is spacious, and has three bathrooms and a large dining table - probably the largest among all the places we've ever rented. Driveway parking is easy.
Monterey is less than 15 minutes away on a mostly scenic and easy freeway drive. Monterey is one of the few places I know where you can rent a surrey, and travel on a path near beaches, restaurants, and shops.
There are also a range of restaurants very close to the house, probably walking distance for most people.
The hosts were kind and communicative. I'm hoping we get to stay here again sometime, for a longer period of time.
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.
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!
-Super spacious and newly refurbished. Super comfortable for family vacation. -Easy access to Highway 1. Short drive to Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, 17-mile Drive, Pebble Beach attractions. -Very close to shopping and restaurants. -Much more reasonable price than Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach with spacious welcoming house.
