What a beautiful property and location! Our family enjoyed the views, walks, and s'mores on the patio. Jane was a kind host and even texted us immediately when we left an item behind. Thanks for the wonderful stay.

Amazing stay on the water!

This home is beautiful and relaxing and we had a wonderful time on the patio by the fire watching the otters every evening. The house is walkable to the aquarium and the heart of Monterrey. Jane is an amazing host and very helpful and responsive. The pictures are exactly as described and we will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Perfect spot!

We loved this house! Great views of the bay and wildlife-otters and seals everyday plus birds and whales! The house was so clean and very quiet-the best sleep of our vacation! Jane was extremely helpful and flexible. Their home is an 8 minute walk to restaurants or the aquarium. Neighborhood is very quiet and parking is easy! We’d definitely stay again!

You can’t beat the location and views from this perfect house. Beds are comfortable and the place was spotlessly clean. We sat outside and watched dolphins, otters, and seals in the water. Walkable to restaurants and the aquarium. We loved it and would return again.

a short visit to Monterey

Terrific! We have visited Monterey several times over the past few years as our daughter is at school in the bay area. This is the best place we stayed. It is a very comfortable layout with two nice bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. Nice kitchen, comfortable living area. But the best thing is location. The patio area looks right out at Monterey Bay and the fire pit there was warm and made it so inviting to sit out in the evenings and listen tot he sounds of the bay. The indoor fireplace was also great. A super nice place to stay for a small family or two couples. We'll stay again!

We decided to splurge a little on this place and it was such a great decision! The host is incredible - communicative and super helpful. The place is amazing - clean, well furnished and absolutely beautiful view. The location is perfect. We walked almost everywhere - the aquarium, restaurants, attractions. I would stay here again ten times out of ten.

Amazing Retreat!

The pictures don’t even do this place justice! From pulling up to the curb to walking inside this beautifully appointed home is meticulously decorated and has everything that you need! The fire pit on the front porch is amazing and allows you to sit and watch the ocean, waves, birds and sea lions in action. Our host, Jane, made it so easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect! Can’t wait to return!

Perfect Place

My wife is very picky about cleanliness. I think this is the first place we have ever stayed that she would give a "Perfect" rating to. The unit was very well stocked with everything you might need for your stay. The location was perfect. Just across the street is a beautiful cove with baby seals laying around. In the water we watched sea otters and whales. A short walk down the street you will find the Aquarium and Cannery Row as well as several good restaurants and a very good grocery store. Jane is a very helpful, friendly host. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.
