Great central location to visit Monterey or Carmel. Clean house and responsive owners.

A nice charming updated house in a safe neighborhood. House has been renovated in recent past and has a nice kitchen and a great, roomy layout. We found having the extra blankets and pillows to be a nice extra touch. Master bedroom has a huge walk-in closet. The two free guest passes to the aquarium were a nice added, plus! Getting into the driveway on the narrow street can’t be a little tight, so just exercise caution parking driveway and garage are in excellent condition. We would definitely recommend staying there again

Our second stay at this wonderful property

Our first stay was in 2016 and we were happy to be back. The property is beautiful, clean, and has everything you would need for your stay. The full bath has a large shower. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, pots, pans and utensils. The location is perfect and quite close to Cannery Row and the Aquarium. We are already planning our next stay.

Cute little house

Was good except needed a little upkeep: 2 clean bathrooms but 1 toilet wouldn’t flush, no hand soap, some residual black dog hair on bedroom floor, a broken cabinet hinge on door in kitchen, no central heat but fireplace in living room is a heater so front area of house warm but 2 bedrooms chilly at night. Otherwise very cute fairly well appointed little house.

Comfortable!

We found this little house to be the perfect size for 3 adults. Beds were comfortable, kitchen and baths were nice! Enjoyed the aquarium passes! A quiet neighborhood and it didn't take long to get to the many places we wanted to go! It was Christmas week, so I can understand the lack of responses to questions but it would have been nice to have better communication and the one replacement lightbulb we requested upon arrival. The heating situation worked out well, but we were a little concerned upon arrival, perhaps more clarity on the heating that is included in the stay.

Great time staying here

My family stayed here for a few nights with our 2 dogs and had a great time. The location is close to many fun attractions like ice skating and beautiful towns. Also, since we took our dogs to a nearby park our girls had a blast playing at the playground. It's in a neighborhood close to parks, stores, gas stations, etc. Also, I loved the artwork and light-color decor. Going to the Aquarium was lots of fun too.

Seaside Bungalow getaway

This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath bungalow was updated/remodeled and quite comfortable. Great coffee maker! Mattresses seemed relatively new (always a bonus!) Our stay turned out to be during an unusual heat wave, so we wished there had been AC, but perhaps this is usually not a problem in that area. The only not so ideal things were that the exterior patio was quite dirty, the trash barrels were fully covered in cobwebs, wasp nests and spiders. And the welcome notebook wasn't all that "welcoming". We had hoped for a few restaurant suggestions, tips on where the local market was. Instead there was a 6-7 page "inventory" list, which was intimidating because at least 50% of those items were NO LONGER inside the home. With a cleaner exterior and an updated, helpful welcome book, we'd have given 5 stars.

nice house - unwelcoming neighbors

The house met our needs, but I did not feel safe walking the neighborhood alone. I felt trapped in the house. Upon our arrival, the neighbor across the street shouted, "Hi Renter. You need to back into the driveway. Look at the sign" He then planted himself in a chair a watched as my husband navigated the difficult the enter driveway. BY THE WAY - it is obviously easier to get out of the driveway, when you park head in first. The neighbors car is in direct shot of backing out. He will watch you. The two day later, I was walking our dog to the park one black over and was completely harrassed and yelled at by a very angry man. He accussed me of not picking up my dogs poop from across the street. I told him that my dag has not pooped, that I was on my way to the park with her STROLLER, and told him to come over to where I was and look for himself. He then followed me, yelling at me, threatening to call the police. I told him to "Please do so, for I feel threatened and would like to file a complaint" When I got back to the house, my husband was very upset to hear what I went through with this altercation. He went to speak with the man, he was no where to be found, Just harassing me, a 65 year old women walking their little white dog. I felt so unsafe, not sure if he was going to hurt me, I am shaking writing this. BTW. This was 10 in the morning. Would I return to Seaside. NO WAY.

Property run down

We were very disappointed about the condition of the property…The rug in the living room had several dirty spots on it.. the couch had 2 torn spots—the entry rug was pretty worn and the chairs were stained.. The outside furniture was in poor condition with some torn cushions. We could not have let our small dogs in the back yard due to the condition it was in with stuff laying around. There was also some pealing happening on the wall near the shower…The positive thing was the beds were very comfortable and clean…This place needs some tender loving care especially when you pay almost $1400 for 3 nights!

Aquarium Stay

We were very happy with the bungalow and quick response from the owners. Our Ford F150 Electric truck was a little difficult to maneuver into the driveway backwards but we did it! We even found a quick charger near the Target where we shopped for groceries and the skateboard helmet my son forgot to pack. We came to see the aquarium so very appreciative to be given the 2 extra tickets! Comfy master bed and nice to have the two bathrooms for 4 adults. My only negative was there wasn't an extra sheet set for the couch for my son to sleep on, but he was ok with just the blankets. Also, the outside door frame and backyard patio could have used a spider web brush off! First time vrbo-ers and we loved our stay! Thank you, Kathleen E.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay with our family of 4. The house provided everything we needed. It was close to everything we wanted to do but also comfortable enough to stay in and relax after full days of exploring. Mal’s Market in the neighborhood has excellent sandwiches. Appreciated the owners leaving the passes to the aquarium also.
