We had a wonderful stay - the house is has very modern furnishings (they’ve thought of everything- even heated floors and towel warmers in the bathroom and fancy toilets). Great location and will definitely stay again next time we’re in Monterey!

Beautiful Home

The “secret garden” is such a beautiful home with everything you need and more. From the welcoming board greeting us with our names to the bottle of wine, we truly felt at home with everything we needed and more. We would definitely come back if we are in the area.

What a great home! We rented the home for Car Week, and it was just perfect. The location was great with exits on to both highway 68 and highway 1 as well as easy access to downtown Monterey. The outdoor areas were beautiful and well maintained. The outdoor kitchen was a huge bonus and we got lots of use from the hot tub. The house was clean, easy to use, and had plenty of tools for cooking, towels and pillows, and very soft TP! Would definitely rent again!

Wonderful stay at The Secret Garden:)

Our family was in Monterey, from Pennsylvania, to golf at Pebble Beach and visit Big Sur for my son’s high school graduation trip. We lucked out finding such a fantastic home! Close to everything, comfortable, and so clean! Debra was wonderful to communicate with and answered all of our questions quickly and offered such great suggestions. We loved relaxing in the hot tub each evening. We have stayed at several VRBOs and this is by far our favorite! We will certainly return! :)

We came for a wedding and the place was perfect for a group of 6! The hosts were so great with allowing for an early check in. The library and gym were so nice too. Only con were some of the towels were not clean, there were hairs on them.
