We rented this place for a short Thanksgiving trip with our daughter, her husband and 4 year old daughter, and our son. Unfortunately, our granddaughter developed pink-eye and she and her parents couldn't join us. Then our son ended not being able to join us for more than a day, so it ended just the two of us in this very nice, large place for 3 nights. We kind of rattled around in all that space, but it was very clean and comfortable, with fresh flowers on the table and plants in several rooms and a nice big kitchen, and the owners were very responsive.
The house is exactly as advertised. Perfect for our family getaway. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and candy and wine. The hosts were super responsive. The location was very close to everything. We recommend this place to everyone.
Had a great stay! The property was spacious, clean, well-furnished and well-labeled. Our only disappointment is that the front yard is no longer grass like in the pictures, but overall we had a great time!

Nice and clean, quite, and plenty of room.
The home was everything thing we could have asked for. I nice quiet, clean home with all amenities available. All of the guests felt at home and enjoyed the stay.
The home was far larger than we expected - a nice surprise! The host has all of the kitchen cabinets - and there are a lot of them - helpfully labeled. The gardens on the property are absolutely beautiful and the backyard is an impressive space. The location is convenient but it can get a bit noisy at night (at least the weekend we were there). Overall, it's a nice place for larger groups.
This is a wonderful property. plenty of room for everyone with an awesome kitchen! Very comfortable beds & a cozy fireplace to gather around. Our family had an excellent week exploring Monterey's Aquarium, Cannery Row, and fisherman's wharf. Thank you so much for this perfect spot to stay! We'll be backagain for sure.
This was our annual girls’ trip; 4 ladies over the age of 60. We were very impressed with the overall cleanliness of this rental. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds comfortable. While the weather wasn’t ideal for sitting outside, the patio was amazing with so many different and beautiful flowering succulents and plants. The location is ideal if you are planning to spend time in Monterey and Carmel.
The owner/management team responded timely to all of our questions and the check-in process was very simple.
We highly recommend this location.
We were here only briefly but really enjoyed our stay.
Since we travel rather heavily, but had to move quickly, the labeling in the kitchen and other places was very helpful. The house is spacious, and has three bathrooms and a large dining table - probably the largest among all the places we've ever rented. Driveway parking is easy.
Monterey is less than 15 minutes away on a mostly scenic and easy freeway drive. Monterey is one of the few places I know where you can rent a surrey, and travel on a path near beaches, restaurants, and shops.
There are also a range of restaurants very close to the house, probably walking distance for most people.
The hosts were kind and communicative. I'm hoping we get to stay here again sometime, for a longer period of time.
Overall the property was as described. The only downfall: No access to washer/dryer. The owners are quick to respond, great communication, and generous with flexibility that was needed.

Perfect for our reunion with 4 queen beds and a futon for additional single
The house proved ideal for 5 of us girlfriends from college days to gather. The open plan kitchen and adjacent large dining table and comfy couches easily accommodated us. This is not a chef’s kitchen and it is a bit older with tile countertops, but ideal for us. Generous refrigerator, great selection of coffees and teas, tons of counter space gave us breathing room. We used it as base camp to explore Carmel Valley and everything in between there and Marina. The neighborhood was safe. Parking for 4 vehicles was easy. Check in and check out instructions were clear and simple. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs sharing a full bath and 2 master suites upstairs (steep). The house is older but spotless. We didn’t have time to sit outside but it has plenty of seating. Of note, everyone found their mattresses to be very comfortable. The house was easy to set temperature on the thermostat and kept us comfortable. The few questions we asked were immediately answered. Zero reservations recommending this rental.
We brought our family, ages 2-64, from 3 different states to this lovely home and had a wonderful time. Clean, well laid-out, nice extras like coffee pods and kids' dishes in the kitchen. Common spaces were ample, bedrooms were comfortable, bathrooms worked well, and the back yard was lovely for a cookout and for casual gathering. Nearby roads leading to major area attractions, walk-able to dunes overlooking the Pacific (watched the sun set 3 nights in a row), and the neighborhood felt comfortable and safe. The host is responsive, accommodating, and clear about rules and requests. We would absolutely enjoy staying here again.
Three couples rented this house in June while we competed in the Spartan Race in Monterey. The house was very clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. It’s very spacious. The paved court yard was a pleasant surprise. The lush landscaping is beautiful. There’s plenty of parking in the driveway, on the street, and across the road. It’s close to restaurants and shops. A short drive to Monterey, the wharf, and Canery Row. The owner made sure our check in was smooth. She even checked in with us by email during our stay. We will rent this house again.
Place was incredibly clean with beautiful backyard and garden. Owners were very responsive. It was nice to have multiple bedrooms with bathrooms connected.
2 concerns- they did not give access to the washer and dryer. This was a huge negative as one of the reasons for staying in a full house is access to a kitchen and laundry. I've never stayed in a place that locked up their washer and dryer. 2nd issue was when we went to take a shower the glass panel that slides shut shattered. We did not do anything inappropriate, there was no accident like running into it or it getting hit hard. It simply shattered when slid shut- although no major injury ensued we were charged via the rental insurance. I can see if it was something done on our part, but it wasn't. It made us afraid to take showers in the other bathrooms that had the same type of glass sliding door.
All in all it was a very comfortable property- safe, clean, and well stocked.
Good location. close to all amenities. spacious house. everything is marked for easy findings. house is very welcoming. the host are fast to respond to messages. wil used them again next time in town
This house was utterly charming. I’ve stayed in many rentals that were fine, but decorated in gray, beige and white. I loved the personality of this one, vibrant with color and imagination! The garden was really beautiful and so relaxing and private. Close to the beach with great hiking and biking trails nearby, just ten minutes from Monterrey! Looking forward to returning!
This property was the best VRBO property I've stayed in! Not only was it beautiful, clean, and just as described, but there were also other great amenities. The other guests were right! Everything was very clearly labeled and all of the dishes and cookware were provided for us. We have 4 teenage boys so this was extremely helpful! We were able to cook and had everything we needed. The house was spotless when we showed up. And the yard looked beautiful. Thanks for letting us share your house!
Description Perfect
Cleanliness Perfect
Quietness Perfect
While there the whole town suffered a power outage. After power came back on our refrigerator circuit breaker was still not set. Called owner and within minutes the problem was solved. Could not ask for a quicker response. Would definitely use this VRBO house again. Many thanks to the owner.
Everything was perfect. The kitchen was well organized for visitors and usage. The house was lovely, super clean and easy to feel at home. We cooked, sat around, enjoyed the yard, and made it to the Monterey Aquarium and activities to boot. Supervised the two 3 year olds on the stairs but no problem. We ranged in age from 3-85! Loved the hosts and would go back in a heartbeat! Great for family.
The house was very clean and comfortable The owner was so responsive to our questions and requests too. We had our family (husband and two adult children) plus brother and father and we need a place that would accommodate all of us. Great jumping off spot to see the Monterey, Carmel area!
