The front yard/ porch area was the best! Super cute and cozy house and the owner was very responsive to each request.

loved this place, great location. walking distance to everything. the place itself was fantastic. It had a nice homey feeling. very reasonably priced compared to what it offers. we would love to stay here again. they are also very helpful, we were having a hard time with the tv remote controls and after 10 mins we had someone in the house helping us and walking us through it. The owner was super nice as well, loved and tremendously enjoyed our stay.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this vacation rental and the owner was very easy/wonderful to work with! We had a girls' weekend and had an amazing time! One night we cooked pizza bread in and there was everything we needed to drink wine and eat pizza. The next day we walked all over town and the house was perfectly located for walking, there is a bit of a hill so bring comfy shoes. We also walked to dinner later that night. The home was comfy and clean. It also helped that there were 2 bathrooms. I would REALLY REALLY REALLY recommend staying here for young couples, girls' trip and young families.

I must say that this house was great for 2 couples to get away for the weekend. It was a very clean and well decorated home. Very comfortable. It is very close to Cannery Row, and has a great bay view. You can hear the sea lions at night while laying in bed. This home has everything a person needs to enjoy your time there. I will visit this rental again. The owner of the house was very easy to deal with. I must say, she has a very lovely home.

We changed our plans at the last minute and needed to arrive a day early to the property. The owner was wonderfully gracious and accommodated us without any problem. The home is, I sense, literally the home of the owner...it seemed like she lives there and then vacates for vacationers. Clothes in closets, lots of personal things around, etc. I have no problem with that. But I've had a lot of experience with VRBOs and for the most part, the rentals were strictly rentals. So this was a first for me and on the morning we arrived, the owner's friend was doing his laundry in the house. I'm not a stickler for privacy. We were with my adult daughter. But if you're looking for privacy, this may not be the place for you. There is a tenant who lives behind the property--really, the unit it attached to the vacation rental and the tenant's back deck is directly adjacent to the guest bedroom window. You cannot open the drapes without looking into the tenant's kitchen. Parking for the vacation rental is on a fairly busy street, too. Again, no problem for us. But if you have small children, it's a narrow sidewalk and you'd want to be careful getting kids in an out of a car. But let's move to the positives! It is a charming cottage with a ton of personality. Appliances are all topnotch. It was very clean. Nice sheets, towels. The side terrace is beautiful with a pot belly fireplace. True, it is a busy street and other reviewers claimed the traffic was noisy. Not so much for us..the view is beautiful sitting out there. We scored with 75 degree weather so we BBQd and had a fire and pretty much tuned out the cars. There is a market about five blocks down the hill and this property is within walking distance to the aquarium and Cannery Row. A moderately long walk but certainly do-able. For dog-owners, this is paradise. The side terrace and garden are securely fenced in. You are also about 20 minutes from Carmel...dog-heaven beach!! Again, to be clear, I absolutely loved this place...but I really feel that giving a review without some kind of critique is not being fair to the owner or the prospective renter. I know that when you are on a budget you want to maximize every dollar. And the privacy issue, while not a big deal to me, might be for others..also the busy street for small children. Otherwise it's a charming little cottage in a town that otherwise features kinda modern, non-descript hotels.

My wife and I shared the house with my brother and is wife. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. Very convenient to groceries and Tourist sites. Home owner is wonderful to work with. A word of caution. The house is located near a stop sign and the traffic noise was disturbing us in the morning.

Beautiful home, great location, excellent service, very clean! Perfect!

Beautifully decorated house with all amenities Great location. Had every thing we needed.

The home was fantastic and the owner was the best! We ended up arriving early and she agreed to let us put our things in the home while we explored. The weather was amazing and due to El Nino, the whale activity was non stop. Everything about the home was great, (make sure you use the massage chair after a long day). I wish there were more channels available on cable while relaxing in the evening but if that is my only thing to be critical about that's pretty weak :-). Thanks again Guita, we hope to return soon!

We had a great time in Monterey and loved staying in this wonderful home. There was ample enough space for grownups and teenagers alike to have a little privacy, and the patio would be a definite bonus in good weather. Being able to walk to the aquarium, Cannery Row, the supermarket, bike rentals and bike path, and restaurants was perfect for all of us. The location also provided very easy access to beautiful drives. And, Guita was very nice to work with.

Thank you for the great stay! We were actually so busy sightseeing that we mostly only slept here, but it was very comfortable and we greatly enjoyed the massage chair after a long day and enjoyed looking at all of your beautiful flowers!!

Outstanding location. Very nice house with everything close by! All the comforts of home including a great little kitchen. We look forward to staying there again! Thank You!

We stayed here with another couple for the weekend to attend the AT&T pro-am and it was the perfect spot. Close cab ride to the courses and walking distance to Cannery row, restaurants, grocery stores. House was very clean and had everything you may need to make it as if you were at your own home! In fact we wished it was our own home! Ha! The house was even better than the pictures on the site. Owners were amazing and very responsive, helpful and friendly. We can't wait for our next visit!
