things you should know
property was clean and beds were comfortable -not adequately supplied with towels -- because there's no washer/dryer and no hooks, just towel bars -- no chance to dry towels -- -picture of linen closet doesn't look like that--children's toys and throw pillows fill that closet -fireplace didn't work -- said previous tenant lost the key and it hadn't been replaced --shouldn't have been put in description if it doesn't work -noisy stairs -- metal strips put on upside down so they click loudly -poor lighting in upstairs hall -- without nightlight -upstairs tv not set to be used by others -- set up for gaming and no way to easily change -- if it's difficult,should provide instructions -only one side of toaster worked without holding handle down -no fire pit outside in back as shown in picture -even thought a phone # was listed for owner, no vm set up and only would respond to email --we had a nice time in Monterey-and the house was pretty comfortable but comments such as mine have been left before, and the changes haven't been made

We love this house! My wife and I along with our 2 young children (ages 3 & 7) and our best couple friends stayed for 3 nights. The kitchen is well equipped. We cooked all our meals in house. We forgot to bring coffee but luckily the hosts provide coffee and a coffee maker. The beds were luxurious. The sheets were super clean and pillow super fluffy. The house is pretty much baby proof. They have tons of games and toys for kids. The also have a well stocked library housed in a separate building. The locations is 9 minutes from Marina state beach, 12 minutes from Monterey bay aquarium and 14 minutes from Whalers Cove. Our stay was perfect!

Short stay but a sweet experience
Loved the property! It had a lot of personality and character. My family really enjoyed it but we all wished we could have stayed longer. We didnt get to enjoy the fireplace since the key to the gas was missing. The property owner was very responsive to my queries. Overall, we would definitely stay again!

What a great property for our family
This place was just perfect for our family of 6 with 4 little kids. It was spacious and had plenty of outdoor space for the kids to run around in. The host was great throughout the whole process checking in to make sure our stay was excellent. The property had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be returning next time we are in the Monterey area!

Just right for our family. Spacious enough for people to have some space if they want down time, but also designed for family interaction with a large dining room table and large living room with couches. We had three vehicles; there was plenty of parking. Clean, quiet neighborhood.

Great place for families. Had a lot of plates, cups and spoons. We left a couple of things behind and got them back. I appreciate the quick communication . The house could have used more towels and hand soap. Especially more toilet paper. The stairs are a bit noisy. Overall, it was a nice stay. Easy access to the beach! Thank you for hosting us.

Did the job
House is nice behind a electric gate. Everything is clean, no bathroom downstairs and only 1 shower, as they converted half the house to a permanent living on-site residence. Besides that it’s a perfect house that worked for me and our group for a golf trip. Very clean, cable tv to watch all the games and news. Comfy beds, nice relaxing tub in master.

Management needs to oversee amenities and maintenance
Home is roomy and plenty of room for play outside. And outdoor toys and a bonus "she shed" was nice. Downside is that for a home that sleeps ten and you pay extra $40 per night per person over 6 guests (including for kids under 12), you would expect more than 6 sets of towels provided. Kitchen supplies were lacking. It should be clearly noted in description that there is no washer and dryer. For a family staying for 5 nights it becomes a problem. Also, issues with one of the two toilets not flushing waste during our stay, which was an issue with a bigger group. There was an attempt to correct flow, but problem was not resolved. One bedroom had only one working electrical outlet and one lamp for light, and door knob that kept falling off (a potential hazard in an emergency.) There is also a unit attached to the home, so home is not private. Otherwise, the home has good potential for vacation rental.

Nice place and close to all the fun things!
This functional and funky home is a great central location for anyone looking to explore the coast from Monterey up to Santa Cruz. Would have wished there was a little more of the basics in the kitchen (like bowls and ziplocks, for example) but overall the house totally met our needs. The gated property is especially nice for families with kids.
