Phenomenal location for day trips up and down the coast and other areas in the interior. Very accessible but safe and quiet. Beautiful sunsets and accessible beach. The place was perfectly laid out with great views. Would definitely rent again.
The host was truly concerned about our experience and exceeded expectations by locating and returning personal items left behind. She was extremely gracious and accommodating.
This year marked our fifth annual sister vacay, making it a significant milestone for us. We invited additional family members to join us, which helped create even more memorable moments and allowed us to enjoy new experiences that will last a lifetime. We were extremely happy with our overall experience, and the accommodations for the six of us were perfect. The space was just right, and the grounds were beautiful as well.
Absolutely wonderful place! Highly recommend as her description and location is exactly as it is in reality. Very close to several nearby attractions etc! She has the house fully stocked and everything one could imagine. Beds and bedding are extremely comfortable and once again just and absolutely wonderful time!
We had an excellent moms weekend. Alison was the greatest host and her condo was in excellent condition. We felt right at home the moment we entered. We highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.
We had an amazing long weekend thanks to this incredible space. Aside from the ideal location and lovely space, I was impressed by the quality linens, toiletries, and other amenities. It's a condo, but feels very private. We would love to stay again!
Best location in Monterey. I am speechless when it comes to this property. The location, the privacy, everything you could possibly need, this property has. It was absolutely perfect. First evening, we saw a whale from the outside deck, the next morning, seals swimming in the ocean and laying out on the beach. Perfect is the only way to describe this property. We cannot wait to visit again! Thank you!
Absolutely stunning location and beautiful home. Highly recommend this property. Very responsive owners, and everything you could need inside the home. Close to nice restaurants in Monterey and Carmel.
I didn’t want to leave. The home and venue are just too perfect. Alison’s home is the quintessential restful retreat. It’s tastefully decorated, and has every amenity you could think of for fun and relaxation. The weather was perfect, surrounding areas fun to explore and the accommodations most delightful
