Views! views! Views! The view is the main attraction here and the yard and house is set up to take adavantage of it all. You just can't find this kind of panoramic view here yet be so close to the beach and all the attractions. New hot tub and a cold plunge. had a 1k upgrade 12/2019 - both get serviced weekly by a prof. Pool & Spa guy. New smart TV flat screen 50 inch in Living Room. And a TV in the Master. SEE THE FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS from the back yards deck and the living room. Two of three bedrooms and the entire Back Yard have a view. A true gem with panoramic views of Monterey Bay, Monterey Cypress, and even to Santa Cruz. The night time views are just as gorgeous as the daytime views, since the city lights sparkle like diamonds on the bay. Usually a two night minimum unless it's a weekday Monday through Thursday.
NOTE: Car week has a 6 night minimum at 750/nite.
This house is in a sun belt so you'll enjoy the sunshine and the views when others are in the fog. Quiet well cared for neighborhood. It's the last street in the entire area. Near us is 8,000 acres of park land.
Enter through the front door into this carpeted home with lots of outdoor entertaining space. There are many places to see the water and mountain views from the Living Room and Dining Room combination to the bedrooms. The Living Room has a fireplace, outside the back door there is a very large patio for grilling or soaking in the hot tub.

This is a difficult review to write. The two best things were meeting the owner, Susan, who told us all about her interesting life and accomplishments. She was friendly and very nice, even bringing over flowers and some treats when she learned we were celebrating our anniversary. The other best thing was the view. And the location, despite it being a very run down and neglected neighborhood, was close to all the things we wanted to do and see. The curb appeal of the house was not good. The yards were neglected and overgrown with dead plants and furniture that had been damaged by the elements. The roof was covered in pine needles which could be a fire hazard (though the Fire Station was right down the street). Having the yard cleaned up and dead plants removed/replaced would make the property far more inviting. Had we been touring the area and only seen the yard, it would have dissuaded us from renting the property. The house was filled with so many items and decor that it felt overcrowded and a bit claustrophobic. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were of good quality. The cold water in the large bathroom barely trickled out. The kitchen was crowded with too many things on the counters, which were sticky and not clean. We had hoped to cook there, but it was an unwieldy space for two to maneuver. There were various internal signs of neglect with chipped paint, not very clean carpeting, sliders that didn't open, and way too much clutter. We wouldn't rent it again.

We had a fun time staying here for a week. Susan was warm and welcoming, and the yard/hot tub were a wonderful way to relax and unwind. Our kids are musicians and really loved the piano on the wall. Thanks for a great time!
4.5
Killer view of the bay from the yard and 2/3 bedrooms.
VERY comfortable beds/ mattresses/ linens.
Excellent communication by owner!
Well stocked with kitchen, laundry, etc needs
Not for the faint of heart - the owner is a professional harpist who has soooooo many collectible / unusual antique harps in this home - the clutter might put some off but we found it joyful and unique.
We were there for the Big Sur Marathon and it was very well suited for driving to the finish in Carmel as you couldn’t access the course except for start and finish.
Most of all was the owner’s flexibility and patience - I booked fhe VRBOnbut wasn’t arriving til the next day, out of town in-laws were the first guests there but it was seamless. And when a 4th couple asked to join us, Susan had no problems and solved our last minute change.
Definitely would stay again.
Mahalo Susan!

Remember your quirky, eccentric Auntie Abigail? The one who was constantly shopping at second hand stores, and sang just a bit too loudly in church??? Well, she decided to join a French Vaudeville troupe, and she's asked you to house sit for her. Auntie Abigail always kept her trove of bizarre collections in their proper place, but she was too busy perfecting her kazoo skills to have much time to neurotically "clean" the place. Sure the cabinet handles and floors are mildly sticky, and the rug (on top of a rug) on top of a carpet is a......unique design choice, and storing your flour in an old tin bin is more rust than rustic, but we ALL (should) know better than to use Auntie Abigail (or any other VRBO's) flour anyway!!!! Auntie Abigail does take great pride in her hot tub, and it is surely the highlight of the stay, but the camera pointing at the hot tub is very naughty.....and against VRBO policy. The outside is quaint, with plenty of places to relax and enjoy the views. The "love shack" in the back yard is interesting, especially the lock on the OUTSIDE......creepy!!!! Aunties house would be an excellent place to have a seance, halloween party, or a burlesque party. If you decide to stay, do yourself a favor and pluck a few of the stings on the piano guts...it will transform you straight to The Overlook Hotel (The Shining). Its also fun to count the obscene amount of mirrors!!! If your coven isn't obsessed about cleanliness, it's a good enough place for a ritualistic sacrifice, just leave the youngest witches at home, as there are far too many interesting and fragile trinkets to explore (or break). And I DARE YOU to peek inside the windows of the camper van in the driveway, you just might find (but I can't prove) THAT AUNTIE ABIGAIL WAS LIVING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE WHOLE TIME!!!!

We had a wonderful stay. Owner and Concierge responded very quickly to all questions we had.

Our family was in the area for a wedding and was pleasantly surprised how close this place was to everything. The view and hot tub were terrific bonuses and we really enjoyed the small amount of time we spent there. We would have liked the outside furniture to have been cleaner and feel more inviting but inside was more comfortable. We didn't use the TVs or the appliances so can't say much for that or how well the kitchen was stocked but it definitely served our purposes. Cute place.

Beautiful view, very comfortable seating and bedding. Everything you need for your dining experience. Would definitely come back.

Susan was a great host! She provided all the information that we needed, and she made sure everything was good for our stay. The location was perfect as we could go to Monterey/Pacific Grove or head over to the trails in Fort Ord National Monument.
4.5
Very clean, well stocked and comfortable house. Very interesting art and decorations around the house. My grandchildren and I loved checking out all the musical instruments and figuring out the scales on the inside out piano. It was also great to have a hot tub already at the perfect temperature to get into after a day out hiking in the foggy Monterrey summer weather.
One addition that might be considered is an electric outlet to charge electric cars.
4.5
This property had many strong points. It was close to Monterey and all that community offers. It had a great view of the bay and we enjoyed the fireworks and watching the fog roll in over the bay. The hot tub worked like a champ and several of our party used and enjoyed it. There were accommodations for our entire party of seven. We also took advantage of the extensive seating outside to converse or relax or just enjoy the view. The inside had many "antiquish" fixtures and furnishings which were sources of interest for some, curiosity for others and detraction for a third group.
There were also significant issues with the property. The most serious of these were maintenance related. Generally, things could be made to work but it took some effort or the defect detracted from the appearance. Here are a few examples:
1) The garage door was tilted, leaving a gap between the lower edge and the concrete floor. This is usually a sign of improperly adjusted springs in the opener mechanism. We did not have or need access to the garage as it was owner storage, but it created a poor impression on checking in.
2) The mechanism for the fold out couch was crochety. We got it to work and used the fold out bed successfully, but it took multiple tries and you had to hold your mouth just so.
3) There were three patio doors which were very positive as they led one to the outside space and provided views from the inside of the house. They were old and the locks and rollers were recalcitrant. While the property in general was clean, there was a bunch of debris in the sliding door tracks.
The beds were comfortable; the kitchen appliances worked fine; there was copious hot water and many many additional pillows, linens, towels and blankets available.
The tenants prior to us had contracted Covid and had to stay an extra night. The host ensured that additional cleaning procedures were put into place and we had no health issues. This schedule re-alignment did require an additional amount of communication with the host. We worked through the problem effectively and Susan was responsive and flexible in our conversations.

Most of our time at this house was spent enjoying the patio! Gorgeous daytime views and also a propane fireplace to enjoy at night! There was so much outdoor seating I wish we had more people there to enjoy it with us. Susan and Lauren were very communicative and available for any questions or concerns. This was a perfect stay for the weekend, wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy all the house and Monterey had to offer!

Susan and Lauren worked hard to make us feel welcome. They were responsive when we had questions. This property has beautiful views and it is in a nice quiet neighborhood. The backyard was perfect for us and our little dog.

This place was a perfect little mini-vacation for our family. Mom, Dad and 3 kids plus one dog were more than comfortable... there was plenty of room for more than the five people (and dog) that we brought... it can easily accommodate 8 people.
The hot tub and outdoor firepit (propane) were both clean, ready, and easy to use. We used them both, every night. You have a clear view of Monterey Bay and the sunset from the hot tub and the rest of the backyard. The house was charming inside and out, and had everything we needed.
Susan was great to work with and everything ran incredibly smoothly. We will definitely try to stay here again if we ever find ourselves traveling to Monterey again, and I would recommend Susan's place to anyone.

We loved our stay in Seaside! The house was well stocked, clean, and perfect size for our group. The hot tub view was amazing for sunset and we spent a lot of time enjoying the wonderful garden. Coordination and communication with the host was easy and I would recommend this place to everyone, especially those with dogs. Close to the beach, wine tasting, galleries and good restaurants, and most importantly the amazing state parks along the coasts! Book this place you won't regret it!
4.5
Amazing if the weather is nice since there is so much outdoor space to take advantage of and hang out. Indoor space has two large sitting areas too. The only thing is the cooking area of the kitchen is a bit cramped so don't expect to be able to do any major cooking beyond breakfast especially for more than 4 people. All basics are provided in the kitchen. And there were plenty of linens and towels provided for 7 of us. Don't really recommend for families with very young kids though since there is a lot of glass tables and art around in this place. Place was clean but some parts of the home could use some updates. We were even worried with our teenagers and had to remind them to be careful. Then owner and concierge were so responsive and friendly and made checkin, checkout and our stay very easy. Would definitely stay again.
4.5
We really enjoyed our stay, the house is very charming and comfortable and is well set up for guests. The beds are a bit high, but very comfortable. The kitchen is small but well stocked and fully functional. The Backyard is very nice, although while we were there the weather was very windy due to an offshore storm, to the point where we couldn’t sit outside. The hot tub is wonderful, a perfect way to relax after a day at the beach. Only issue with house is that a general yard clean-up for overgrowth and a few weeds needs to be done. The host was super responsive and took personal interest in our stay, which I really appreciated.

Can't rave more about this property and Susan. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and went out of her way to ensure we had the best stay and were happy at her property. Thanks to Susan, we were able to gather our family together, including my elderly mom, for a Christmas that will be one of our most memorable for so many reasons. The house has the amazing views promised and the space was cozy and warm yet spacious. Kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor area is as lovely as described. Location was fabulous also - a quick drive to shops and restaurants, beach, biking, hiking, etc. In short, we had an exceptional stay and hope to come back in the summer. Thank you, Susan!

Great location, and amenities.
Don't hesitate to communicate with Susan, she is there!

Susan, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful house with us, and for being a wonderful host! We enjoyed every moment of our stay, from the enchanted entryway and front yard to the gazebo and jacuzzi in the backyard, and everything in the middle. The house itself is already an adventure! Unique furniture, décor, vintage and handmade musical instruments, arts, beds, and even light fixtures are special. So many items that show owners' care and love to their home, nature and arts. We were speechless when we got out to the patio. The jacuzzi with the unique view was such a treat! The patio was so wonderful we didn't want to leave the house : ) This is one of the best experiences of the year for our family. Glad we found this rental. Thank you again! Looking forward to return!

The view from this property was amazing! The outside patio was so inviting, we spent almost all of our time out there. The kids loved the toys, great treat for them. Location was great, not to close to all the hassle, but close enough for an easy drive to the beach. Overall, we will be back. It's our new favorite place to stay!

Enjoy the fabulous views and watching the fireworks on the 4th of July, and outside next to the outdoor fireplace. We BBQ everyday. It was nice going in the spa and it was relaxing. We celebrated my wife’s daughter birthday with the grandchildren and they enjoyed the house as well. The grandchildren liked the outdoor room in the backyard. Our dog enjoyed the house and backyard because there was a lot of room for him to roam.

We spent 5 days at this home in Seaside, and it was a wonderful vacation! Susan is an excellent host, very responsive to texts or emails and she provides a clean, well stocked home. The house is clean and surprisingly roomy/well laid out for the square footage. Everyone in our party was able to sleep and hang out comfortably. The neighborhood is nice and very close to all kind of amenities: coffee shops, grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants, shopping, tourist destinations, freeway access, the beach, and more. The outdoor area is superb, with lots of seating and a hot tub to enjoy the incredible views. The backyard overlooks the Monterey Bay, and a propane fire pit kept us cozy while we spent a lot of time just hanging out enjoying the views. The landscaping is all eco-friendly succulents, which was a very pleasant surprise for me, as I love succulents. I would be delighted to stay here again! Thank you so much, Susan!

The house that was in this posting was not the house we ended up staying at because of booking error. But the home we did end up staying in ended up being a little larger and worked well for our visit. The house itself was clean we found a few dishes not cleaned, the coffee maker was dirty, along with the blender. The owner was very responsive and helpful with all of these issues but overall I would say it is a nice home but definitely overpriced for what you are getting.
