Just what we needed
Our hosts were very accommodating from the start with our request for slightly early check in. Sorry for the trouble 🙂. We found the place had many unexpected conveniences like updated appliances (washer/dryer, dishwasher, compactor, etc) and more than enough supplied linens, towels etc. than we ever needed for for our 1 week stay. Super clean and the bed was comfortable too. They’re many special touches by like live plants and decorations made it feel like home to us. So, just what we needed plus some nice surprises . Thank you folks for everything! Bob & Lynda

Birthday Getaway
Very pleased with this little property. The place was clean and cute. It’s well appointed with all one needs. The view is amazing. The location is perfect for kayaking at the nearby Elkhorn Slough. Happy with this rental and would stay here again!

Blessed.
I would encourage anyone visiting the Monterey, Santa Cruz area to make this booking. Daniel is very attentive and responsive. You will find that you are in the perfect spot to plan all activities and enjoy the area. Beaches, zip lining through the red woods, roller coaster over looking the ocean, etc. Daniel provides excellent recommendations and the drive up to the house was GORGEOUS. Very thankful for the week we spent here and the memories we created. GREAT PLACE !

Unique location and property
The property was at the top of a hill in a rural area north of Monterey. The location was perfect for me... away from the crowds, beautiful view from the patio and close to the wildlife I came to see (especially the Elkhorn Slough which is a must see for anyone interested in otters). The only drawbacks were the parking situation (although that could just be because I am not good at backing up in tight spaces) and the guest house is in need of some sprucing up (stairs up to the second floor, floor between bed and bath and bathroom walls). But those things did not detract from my stay as I was not in the guest house that much. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a unique experience and proximity to the beach and the Elkhorn Slough. I highly recommend the Power Plant for coffee, Tristan's Cookies for sweets and Lemongrass for Thai food all off Highway 1 in Moss Landing.

A great Monterrey stay
The property met our needs for proximity to activities in area and safe place for our dog. It is very hilly and not conducive for walking our dog. Light bulbs were burned out . Please add dish towels and a cutting board. The shower is very slippery , secure shower drain cover and fix paint and some general maintenance like broken lock pad and random nails sticking out need to be addressed.

Peaceful and comfortable
Even though it rained for most of the time we stayed here, this unit was a perfect place to cozy up for a few days. Even with the clouds, we still had a great view. The kitchen is large, and they have lots of fuzzy blankets for curling up with a movie or a good book. We appreciated the recommendations for both places that were closer by and the places in Monterey and Carmel.

extremely quiet and relaxing location
you couldn't find a nicer family and a more relaxing spot with spectacular views. The driveway is daunting, and getting vehicle close to the apartment at the back building of the spectacular "Chalet" meant a scary backup when leaving, or parking in front of the big house and walking back, which was ok, unless you had heavy packages to carry. HotTub and views from the deck were unmatchable. lots of moths and cobwebs, but expected for the country setting on a hilltop.
