The house was spectacular! Enjoyed the view from the kitchen window anytime of the day and night! The bedrooms were very comfortable and it was sweet to have a tv in each room. There were four of us and each had a room - Our host was very patient with all my crazy questions and demands - we loved the place and hope to return next year!

This house is great, many places to sit and relax or play cards. The beds are very comfortable! It is only 1/2 mile from the beach and grocery stores. Easy access to Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, and Santa Cruz. We were not ready to leave when the time came. The host was very easy to work with. Definitely would recommend

This house was perfect for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids. The converted garage/game room had everything needed to keep the kids entertained. Everything was clean and comfortable and the location was close to everything we needed. Host was friendly and responsive. We would love to stay here again!

Wonderful place to stay for our family of 5 adults! Centrally located for all the activities Monterey Bay offers. Clean and well appointed, exactly as depicted in the listing pictures. So great to watch the sunset from the front yard on the evenings we weren’t on the beach. Highly recommend!

Excellent attention to detail

Our family is from the Midwest and we are avid travelers that enjoy renting homes to spend time together on vacation. This home exceeded our expectations. It is apparent that the owner works hard to bring a home element to their house by keeping it fully stocked. There are your usually coffee maker and fluffy towels, but they went above the minimum. Need a safety pin for a dress? Check the “junk” drawer in the kitchen. Forgot Q-tips? The main bathroom has you covered. If your family is like ours and likes to play games, the owners have included a shed full of outdoor activities and indoor board games. There is even a craft box full of colored rubber bands for a little 10 year old to make friendship bracelets! At one point our group decided to go hiking at Pinnacle National Park and this shed provided coolers so we could take food with us for a picnic. If you’re headed to the beach, there are sand toys and beach chairs. The owner has worked hard to provide for your every need. This home was a delight for our family get together and we would recommend it to anyone traveling to the area.

Disliked: Location
Loved the house. Super spacious inside and out. very clean and cozy. Towels and other amenities amply supplied and in excellent condition. Kids had enough to entertain themselves with games inside and outside. BBQ worked well. We had a great time here and would rent again if we decide to vacation in the area. Neighborhood itself is quiet and rarely saw anyone outside. It definitely has it's share of homeless camping out in nearby streets. Had to walk to the taqueria around the corner to use the bathroom because we came a little bit early. Taqueria was good and food was delicious. Overall the neighborhood is older with apartments on nearby cross streets. I noticed people digging through trash cans. I grew up in similar areas, so it's not like I was scared or anything to that extent, but just something to be aware of. Batteries were out for fireplace and one TV remote, but received a prompt response from property owner and she dropped off batteries asap. No other issues. Short drive to stores (costco, target, Lucky's) and Sand City beach was a 4 min drive with a 3 hr parking along the end of a street. We went during the week and it was a little windy and overcast so not many people around. Overall one of the best stays we've had through VRBO. Would recommend this house to anyone wanting to vacation in the area.

The house was spotless and very comfortable. 4 bedrooms (two are small singles, but that was the perfect configuration for us) plus 3 full bathrooms and the bonus playroom was a great find. Big spacious kitchen, nice outdoor areas, all around a perfect choice for my family during a busy wedding weekend.
