Our family and friends enjoyed this home so much! It was extremely clean and had a large backyard for our pups to play. We appreciate so much how clean our stay was given that it is a pet friendly home. The location is also an easy drive to the beaches and cannery row. We would recommend staying here!

Host was responsive and the home was clean with plenty of amenities for our stay. The location was great with lots of parking on the driveway and on the street. The living room was especially comfortable with an additional bed which our young daughter loved lounging on!

Cute and clean property close to Marina State beach and easy to get to many stores. Short drive to cannery row, the Aquarium, Dennis the Menace Park, etc. Three bedrooms and a nice outdoor space make it great for a family vacation. Check in process was easy and communication with the host was good. Has the necessities to make the stay comfortable with some nice additional touches by the host. Would totally stay again.

Fabulous home!

My family and I had the best stay at this home! Super clean, looks just like the photos, the beds are very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful to go for walks or morning jogs in. The proximity to Monterey, the grocery store and the ocean are amazing. BJ was helpful, extremely fast at answering our texts and very kind. We will definitely rent here again!

Great stay

Our host, BJ, was friendly and always quick to respond to messages. He provided complimentary wine, beverages, and snacks which we all enjoyed. The house was close to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, located in a quiet neighborhood, and the house was very clean. My family enjoyed our stay. Thanks BJ!

Great home!

This was a great property. Everything was as described and the rooms were very nice. There were lots of silverware dishes to use, there was toiletries in the bathroom and nice towels. We were going to Monterey and it was a quick drive down both days that we went. Found a local Taqueria that was very good. We would definitely stay again when we’re in the area.

Worked out great

We met some family for a Thanksgiving brunch in the area and needed a home to lodge a few folks for the night. Worked out well, everyone was happy with their individual rooms and the setup of the house was good for our needs. Would book again in a similar situation.

Property needs some care. Master shower is very difficult to use. The door sticks badly and turning on the shower is very difficult as it is a very stiff knob. The kitchen has quite a conglomeration of plates, bowls, glasses and silverware, but only 6 cups. Also needs hot pads, measuring cups and spoons. It is decorated nicely and the heater works well which was great for the cold and damp rainy days.

Hi Nancy It was wonderful to see your comments. Just to remind you, the property is hosting only 6 guests. So all the set up will be for 6. If needed for longer stay like yours. Washer Dryer, dish washer are available as you have seen it. About master bathroom knob. We answered you with in a minute after your message. Which should have solved your problem. It was not hard to turn which you have mentioned in your comments. We explained your husband how to use it. We are happy to hear that your room heater worked perfectly to keep the house warm for you. Thanks again and it was pleasure hosting you.

Comfortable and clean home in Monterey area

The home was very clean and the beds super comfortable. There were a few snacks and a bottle of wine upon arrival which was very thoughtful! The area is close to Monterey - about 15 minute drive and easy to access from the freeway (while still being a quiet neighborhood). The only small recommendation I would make to the owners would be to have a Brita filter or Brita in the fridge for filtered water. Other than that, the house was clean, spacious and well stocked. Would definitely book again on other trip!
