Location was very good. Close to Beaches, Capitola, Carmel, etc. The only suggestion would be a listing of local grocery stores, sites/things to do.

Perfect Family Trip

Our family traveled to the Monterey Bay Area for a week and could not have been more thrilled with this property. Literally everything you could ever think you might need was there and available for use. We cooked in most mornings and three nights, the kitchen was extremely well appointed. The bedrooms were spacious, beds and linens extremely comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating.It is located on a golf course, about 3-4 blocks back from Beer Can Beach (which we loved!), so it made for beautiful walks. It was conveniently located off of the freeway, & the perfect distance between to explore between Big Sur & Mill Valley. I cannot recommend this property enough!!

Beautiful home to stay. Kitchen/livingroom is a great home base for family time. Bedrooms are good size & had an abundant amount of towels/sheets if needed. There is some old school charm. Be careful with babies/toddlers. Lots of trinkets around upon arrival that we kept safe in higher places during our stay. We would reccomend some baby proofing of cabinets if the lower cabinets have such breakable pieces. We were so excited to use the play structure during our stay but were disappointed that it was not in running order. Other areas of the house had some TLC that we brought to their attention. We reached out to the owners and they were great with accommodations and stated that they would fix all issues & update listing. Would like to stay again and get to use the full potential of the home. Thank you for sharing your home.

Multi-generation family vacation

We loved this property. The house was perfect. There were plenty of towels, linen and bedding for everyone's comfort. The kitchen was a chef's dream. The hosts were super accommodating from the start. Short drive to toddler friendly Rio Del Mar beach. The back deck and play structure were perfect for family dinner and undwinding from the day. We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for the week. Thanks for the great stay!

Amazing stay!

The house was a great layout for our family of 4 and the outdoor spaces/decks were awesome. This was the cleanest VRBO that I have ever stayed in. They had lots of essentials (TP, paper towels, detergent, etc) that a lot of VRBO owners don’t provide so it was nice not having to go shopping for a bunch of stuff upon arriving. The owner/manager was very responsive to our questions ahead of the stay and always answered in under an hour. The location of the house only about 1/4 mile away from the beach access is phenomenal. Thank you for the amazing stay, we will be back!

Loved the area and house. Beautiful kitchen and family room and dining room. Master bed was very comfortable! Light switch broken in kitchen area for canned lights. The thermostat was hard to figure out and when we got there is was set at 55 degrees and freezing . The lock box was also open when we arrived. Two days the trunk of the car in the driveway was open so we closed it! The kids loved the playground and had a blast! Thank you for sharing your home!

Quiet and serene

The property is spacious with lots of storage space. It is in a quiet neighborhood. We found that 2 bathrooms was a bit inconvenient for 4 people but not a dealbreaker. It took a little while to figure out the light switches. I would recommend more hooks in the bathroom to hang towels and a mirror in the second bedroom so you can put on makeup when the bathroom is occupied. The kitchen is large, huge dining table, the patio is delightful and there is ample parking. The microwave was not working but the owner sent over a replacement right away. We would stay here again.

PERFECT FOR THE FAMILY

This house is perfect for a larger family. It has three bedrooms and a huge couch that easy for someone to sleep on. It is the best stocked house that I have ever stayed in. Thr outside area, complete with a play structure for children is excellent. The kitchen is well stocked with everything that we needed for the stay. Video is excellent with large screen TVs and a variety of apps like Netflix. The back deck is very big with a table that seats eight. Great for outside dining. The house has plenty of games, including an old Pacman game that we had some fun with. While some of the bedroom furniture is dated, everything is functional and clean. We will stay there again when we go back to the area.
