Annual family vacation

Beautiful surroundings and lovely unit. We do a lot of cooking while there and could use more dish soap. We also ran out of toilet paper and went out to get more. We miss the regular coffee pot. Already looking forward to next year but the mattresses are getting tired so new ones would be great. 👍🏼

The price was on the high side but we are remodeling our home in Pebble Beach so I needed accommodations for relatives 4 adults and 4 teens. Moss Landing is a great location, much closer than Pajaro Dunes so this worked out great. My only complaint was the hot tub and pool weren't available when they wanted to use them, so this should be fixed or don't advertise this ammenity. The bonus was this is a 1//2 walk block to the beach not a mile and there were seal pups playing in the waves off the beach, quite entertaining. Thank you.

This house was great for the 6 of us adults and 2 kids that stayed here. We had enough hot water for all of us to shower with the tankless water heater, and not have to shower in rotations, lol. The access to the beach from the home was perfect and it was great to be able to be that close with an outside hose by the back stairs to rinse off our feet before going into the house. The place was clean and inviting. It could use some maintenance/upkeep on some of the outside stuff. For example the screendoor on one of the ground floors had only half its screen door attached, so we didn't dare leave that sliding door open for too long due to bugs. The robot vacuum was handy for cleaning the floor for the most part, but It also would have been nice to have had a vacuum with a hose attachment to be able to suck the sand out of places like the dryer, etc. The pool and hot tub were great as well. We were able to see seals and fish right from the beach. Overall, this would be a place we would choose to stay at again.

Thank you for telling us about the screen door - we contacted the HOA, and they have scheduled a repair. We also passed on your suggestion for an additional vacuum to the owner. We're happy to hear you enjoyed vacationing in this very special spot and hope you'll make a return visit.
