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!

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.

Nice neighborhood. Clean property. Kitchen well stocked. All of my friends told me they were very pleased with my choice for our reunion. There was one thing that might need attention... We noticed a gas smell occasionally emitting from the gas fire place.

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.

Relaxing stay near everything in Monterey County!

My friends and I stayed here while going sightseeing around Monterey and Big Sur prior to attending a wedding. Although the bathrooms were a bit dated and leaky, the cozy and relaxing living room and bedrooms made up for it. Plus, with the location near State Hwy 1, you can get anywhere up and down the Central Coast very quickly! Bijay was a great and responsive host and we recommend staying here.

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.
