Creating a Family Experience

Loved the location of the home. Plenty of room for our group of 5. Convenient to stores, freeways and sights. Well supplied with everything we needed. Liked that we could park inside the gate. Would recommend staying there.again.

"Ernie's Place" was very comfortable, very clean, and fully equipped. We were there for three nights and enjoyed the plentiful bedroom storage, the kitchen facilities, and especially, after several days on the road, the laundry. Also, the Wi-Fi is excellent; we were able to stream the IndyCar race on our Roku stick with no problems. I also appreciated the off-street parking. We would definitely stay here again.

The home had been nicely updated, and had a great amount of usable space. It was very comfortable. While we didnt spend a lot of time at the house, it would be very easy to enjoy a relaxing evening at the home for dinner or a game night.Good proximity to local activities and downtown Monterey/Cannery Row!Would absolutely book here again next time we're in town.

Enjoyable stay

This was our first trip to the Monterey area and we really liked the location of this property. It met all of our needs as far as three bedrooms, a full kitchen and washer/dryer. I had reached out the property manager prior to our trip to ask a question and didn't get a response, which is why I gave 4 stars on that. All other communication with him was great. I also gave 4 stars on cleanliness because my two year old found items and dust/dirt under the couch and bed.

Carmel Wedding Spring 2025

Great place to stay 15 minutes from the wedding we were attending at La Playa hotel in Carmel. Great Mexican and French bakery within walking distance. Cool breakfast spots, pizza and taquerias 5 minute drive. Nicely appointed kitchen and comfortable bedrooms and living room out door patio was nice. Beach vibe decor was nice.

Great time away with our family

The five of us (parents three 20 something sons) had a great time getting away together. We played games, cooked, took walks at the nearby beach and went on a handrail ride (train tracks and all). The house is set up well for family hanging out. If you are planning on specific cooking/baking, I'd bring your 'have to have' supplies (cookie sheets for one) just in case.

Wonderful stay near Monterey

Ernest's home was spacious and very comfortable. It was a beautiful place to stay while exploring Monterey. The home was very clean, well stocked and had a nice private garden area outside. Ernest was a great host and checked in to make sure everything was working properly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Fun times

We had a fun time staying at the house and enjoying the weather in the area. Only problem was with the master bathroom toilet which I told the owner about. Sorry that we had to leave a day early due to needing to return the Louisiana due to Hurricane Francine.

Beautiful property, convenient amenities, and close to everything. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The landscaping was beautiful and gave us a private area to relax in the evenings with a view of the ocean. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy Retreat

Myself and a few friends visited Monterey to celebrate my friend’s birthday. I rented this VRBO based on location, reviews and the pictures included online. We were definitely happily surprised at the home, it was clean and cozy, and accommodating. We all had a wonderful weekend celebrating our friend together.

Beautiful home with amazing views and walks to the ocean

I stayed for several days for a wedding in town. The home is beautifully done with lots of kitchen equipment, washer/dryer, and cool rooms with nice views. The kitchen and outside dining area have breathtaking views of the bay and walks through the neighborhood are beautiful as well. The home is conveniently located within walking distance of a Grocery Outlet grocery store, several restuarants, banks, and drug stores. We walked to the ocean each day. It is a wonderful find for a rental home.

Hero’s golf tournament

Home was comfortable. Had a coffee maker but no coffee or filters so need to bring your own. Neighbors took up the street parking so fortunately the driveway was long enough to fit our two vehicles. I would stay here again.
