Plenty large, clean, great location, well equipped, comfortable beds, right across the street from the beach. Definitely a place to return to.
We had a great time just hanging around the beach and Monterey. Lot of room for all of us. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!
Our family had the best time ever! Beach time every day just across the street from the Rental; Pickle Ball every day at the courts just down from the Rental. Beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys - all provided with the Rental. And best Host Manager throughout our stay! We'll definitely be back next Summer 2024.
Place was very well stocked for all occasions, from house to beach.
Great family friendly property with lot of beach supplies. Very well maintained.
We had a wonderful time at this house which was right across the street from the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook fabulous meals. The extra refrigerator in the garage was used for all our extra beverages. We had enough bedrooms and beds for everyone to spread out comfortably. The kitchen/dining/living room is so open it's a great gathering place for everyone. This is a great place to stay for a large group. I would definitely stay her again.
This house has it all. Thanks
The good: the house is very nice. We had 14ppl & it never felt crowded. Plenty of fridge space w/ 2 fridges. Deliveries came easily. There are a ton of games, dvd’s, & beach toys. We had no problem with parking for 5 vehicles. The blackout curtains in all the rooms & each room having a thermostat was great. The bad: 1)vinyl covers on the bed are awkward. The crunchy sound when you move was enough to wake you up. If you’re going to go to that extreme for cleanliness you can’t go the complete opposite and never wash the comforters. Who’s going to use them knowing they are never sanitized? 2)there are a ton of rules. Made us feel like we had to walk on eggshells in this place. Hanging signs like the one on the toy room door pointing out crayon marks a past renter made & to not be like them was awkward. They were also weird about the headcount. We maxed @14. One of our group left so another family member came to fill his space. I was being courteous by giving the owner a heads up so she didn’t think we were bringing in extra people and I received a text back blatantly saying no. No swapping allowed. She said it was discussed beforehand but all our rental contract said was no day visitors beyond your max headcount…. Head count was never over. One left, one came. so it was very weird to get such a brash response. When you pay thousands to stay somewhere for a weekend you don’t expect to be micromanaged. 3) paid highest cleaning fee we’ve ever been charged and still had to clean. most places just have you pile up your used towels. This place had you bag up all used towels, sheets, & blankets separately & place them in the main hall which is alot in a 3story house. Plus doing all dishes, including running the dishwasher and putting it all away before leaving. I suppose you just have to hope everyone before you used soap or the dishwasher to sanitize the dishes since it’s not part of the professional cleaning. 4) there is a camera inside in the livingroom looking out front. It has audio capabilities which made us uncomfortable and is listed on the website as against VRBO policies. “Our policy allows reasonable monitoring of the outside of the property while still protecting privacy inside the home. Surveillance devices, which use any form of capture device such as a camera or an audio recorder, can’t be used inside of a property.” So to sum it up, the house and location is great but the management is a bit extreme.
Had a wonderful time at this property during a long-weekend away with friends. 3 families (2 adults + 2 kids each) fit very comfortably in the house, with room to spare. Incredibly well appointed kitchen, and so many comforts of home for the kids - scooters & helmets, beach toys, a toy room that kept them (ages 4-9) entertained for hours. And, the location is ideal - located directly across the street from the beach access. Actually easier to access the waves than from many other properties in Pajaro Dunes that are directly on the ocean. Property manager, Stacey, was incredibly attentive and responsive. Definitely two thumbs up, and we look forward to renting here again.
Great stay. Exactly as advertised. Enjoyed our time there and the quiet location.
Everything provided for our big family, including beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, etc. and across the street to the ocean!! We will be back for sure 2023???❤️
My wife and I recently hosted our two daughters and their families (in total, 6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 20 months to 7.5 years old), and the house suited our needs very well. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the close proximity to the beach was a huge plus. The house is very well organized and there are plenty of books, toys, beach stuff to keep kids occupied. There was only one negative: the mattresses and the pillows on the beds are all protected by fairly heavy plastic cases that rustle whenever you move while one the bed. That doesn’t make for a great night’s sleep, so I suggest that the owner /property manager come up with some other alternative.
We came here for a family spring break getaway from LA. Our group ranged from 8 months to almost 80 and everyone was comfortable and had plenty of space. The home is really well setup for families with children and it was great for us. The beach is only a 30 second walk away, we will definitely be back
