The house was ok
The home was fairly cleen other than hair in the sink drain and shower drain. The toilet seats were very loose almost falling off .the listing showed 4 passes to the aquarium but when we arrived there where none. The host sent us theirs but they where not accepted, witch made us feel like we were trying to scam the aquarium we asked for a refund for the 3 aquarium passes we had to purchase that were supposed to be included. It has been a few weeks and still no answer!

Salinas get-away
We were in Salinas to visit some friends who live in the area so we stayed here for 3 nights. The house has obviously been recently redone and it is all very nice. The appliances are all new and everything was very comfortable.

Great for young families
We stayed here while visiting the Monterey Aquarium with our 3 young boys. The guest passes were easy to use and actually allowed us to skip the line when checking in at the aquarium. Traveling with our kids, we appreciated the pack n play crib and high chair available in the home, as well as the large playground within walking distance from the house! Although we didn’t do much cooking the kitchen was well stocked. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Great family stay in a convenient location
House is much bigger than we thought with 2 good sized bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and living area. Perfect for our family of 5 using the sofa bed in the living room. Location is easy to get to and only 25 minutes to Monterey centre/aquarium. Great to have the aquarium passes too - we spent an entire day there and the kids loved it.
