Nice place, we were comfortable
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.

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.

Charming house in a perfect location!
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!

Wonderful hosts!
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!

Spacious and Clean
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.

Nice place to stay
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.

2024 Girls Trip
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.

Lovely Home - Great for Family Gathering
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.

Perfect to see Monterey from nearby!
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.

Great place to visit Carmel and other places
Place was great and Yongling communicated very well with us. Bummer that there wasn't a washing machine that we could use, but us it for just 4 days. Very good connection with the main road to Carmel and other places. Coffee, chocolates and wine were a nice touch :) Grill was functioning perfectly, so thank you! It has some stuff for kids (plastic plates) which is really appreciated when you visit houses with kids. Everything worked fine. Location does not seem to be the safest, but we were never afraid of the neighborhood either.

Fantastic house, fantastic hosts
We were in town to play golf. The house is close to the courses on the peninsula. Very close to food shopping. Really, everything was great. We had four guys, we needed four bedrooms. We were cooking and grilling -- they had every kitchen utensil/dish/plate/pot/glass imaginable. Every cabinet had a label telling us where everything was. There were instructions on how to work anything in the house. So well thought out. They supplied towels, soap, shampoo, paper towels, all bedding. There was some bottled water, a bottle of wine, plenty of tea and coffee, little chocolates. The house was immaculate. If we go back to the peninsula to play golf, we will stay here again in a heartbeat.

Clean, well equipped, convienent
First and foremost, the owners were wonderful to deal with. They manage and clean the property themselves, are close to respond to any issue. Windows are open to air house before you arrive (and we left them open as requested when we left). We have never been in a rental that has been so clean in our experience of over nearly 50 years and multple countries. We were looking for a place where our daughter and granddaughters could enjoy the beach, we could also take them to the Monerery Bay Aquarium, we could have our own meals, watch some videos, and the grandchildren play some games. Five stars for all of that! A plus came from TVs iboth upper bedrooms and also downstairs. So their game programs could plug into multiple places for that part of the trip. Beds were comfortable! Big plus for us plus double pillows. Because we stayed long 4 full dys, a few more kitchen towels and couple more hand towels would have been nice. We left that suggestion privately for the ower so suspect you will not have to deal with that!
