Ants in the kitchen, not enough towels, gas smell - fixed by owner on day two; shower in primary did not drain properly, told there would be 2 parking spots on garage pad and 2 in garage, instructions in house stated no garage parking allowed; advertisement stated 3 bathrooms, but actually only 2 and a powder room. Big difference.

Fabulous

I am a rental property owner so I know what it takes to serve clients. This property was perfect. It was super clean, had wonderful amenities, a welcomed surprise gift, and perfect location. 3 golfing buddies and I shared the home. It’s the ideal foursome one or two night stay-only 20 minutes from Pebble Beach. Also it’s only 3 miles from a state park and expansive beach area. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful place for multi family vacation

We absolutely loved this place. Really nice details such as the table already set for us. Full tea selection (in the cupboard above the coffee area). To help anyone with their planning, the configuration is one queen & 1 shared bathroom downstairs, en suite king plus 2 queens & 1 shared bathroom upstairs. Really well kitted out for kids, including a walk in closet with a pack n play already in it in the primary! Had to reach out to host to get check in instructions, but was very helpful. Loved and recommend!

There was not any laundry service, which was disarmed. There were a few ants in the kitchen and no ant spray available. Other than that we loved the property and convenience of the location.

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!

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

Overall a good property with very comfortable beds, most kitchenware we needed, a good washer dryer, and generally clean spaces. We were a group of 6 staying for a week and there were a few things that became irritating for that duration, such as a bedroom door handle that didn't stay on, multiple rooms with window blinds or shades that didn't work, a very small kitchen trash and no extra full size trash bags. For the price these feel like changes the owner could and should make.

The property was very clean and nicely decorated. I appreciated the complimentary snacks and beverages. The kitchen was well equipped. The neighborhood was very quiet which I appreciated. Location was very close to Marina State Beach not walking distance but a quick drive there. The house was comfortable for all family members. I did send a question regarding the property in May for a booking in July which I didn’t receive a response to until right before our stay. Other than that, it was a very nice stay.

Weekend getaway

We stayed here for a friends’ wedding in Carmel. Everything was 20 mins or less away, including yummy food, beautiful beaches and views. It was really easy communicating with the host-BJ responded quickly to my questions. We were all comfortable and enjoyed the backyard hangs. The neighborhood is quiet and had easy freeway access- but far enough to feel away from it.
