We had a wonderful stay at this charming home in Marina! The house was super cute, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. You can tell the owners put care into the details—it really felt like a home away from home. Great location too—quiet and peaceful, but still close to everything. We’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Monterey! The house was spotless, tastefully decorated, and felt incredibly comfortable and inviting from the moment I walked in. The location was perfect—just a short 15-minute drive to some of the most scenic spots in the area, including Pebble Beach, the iconic 17-Mile Drive, and charming Carmel-by-the-Sea.The host was fantastic—very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during my visit to the Central Coast. Highly recommend!

Love the house and location

Marina is close to Monterey Aquarium and the rest of places one wants to see and enjoy in the Monterey Bay. The house comfortably accommodated my family and a small dog. We enjoyed the place and would recommend it.

Relaxing stay near everything in Monterey County!

My friends and I stayed here while going sightseeing around Monterey and Big Sur prior to attending a wedding. Although the bathrooms were a bit dated and leaky, the cozy and relaxing living room and bedrooms made up for it. Plus, with the location near State Hwy 1, you can get anywhere up and down the Central Coast very quickly! Bijay was a great and responsive host and we recommend staying here.
