Family Friendly Homestead + 2 Aquarium Passes located 25 minutes from Monterey

Wonderful host and home. Had a great stay here with all of my friends, and would highly recommend for anyone who is traveling to the area.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming homestead tucked right in the city! The home was full of character, with beautiful original art throughout that made the space feel warm and unique. I especially loved the peaceful outdoor area—spending time with the friendly ducks and chickens was such a treat. Katie was the most accommodating host and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her kindness made the experience even more unforgettable. Highly recommend.

Beautiful cozy home fully stocked with everything you need ! We had a blast! Great location too!

A lovely home and gracious host! We always enjoy our stay here!

Everything was wonderful!!

Several friends went to see Keith Urban in Salinas at the Rodeo grounds. This property was just a few blocks away so we could walk there. The property included free passes for the aquarium so we spent a fabulous day on Cannery Row and had a great dinner at the Wharf. The Steinbeck Museum is nearby and Carmel a short ride away. What a fabulous time we all had!!! Would definitely rent this place again for a large group. The owner was readily available but not needed because she already completely informed us of everything. There is also a lovely backyard where we ate and shared cocktails in the evening. It was perfect for us!

We really enjoyed our stay at this great house in Salinas! The home was great for two families to share with a nice big dining room table and a living room that was comfortable for all. The ducks and chickens in the back yard were a great addition, as were the fresh eggs that Katharine left for us! The house was nicely decorated and Katharine left fresh flowers and coffee, both of which were greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!

Upon entering this house, it is captivating and quaint! The hosts provided fresh flowers; eggs (unfortunately the ducks and chickens weren't laying at that time, but they provided store-bought eggs anyhow!), and butter; coffee and creamers; and some of the standard fare - oil, etc; and supplies for the showers! It was clear that the hosts were intentional about ensuring that our stay was wonderful from the outset! Additionally, anytime I reached out via the chat, the response time was quick and clear! While we weren't able to use the aquarium passes due to our itinerary, we all discussed the desire to return if our group is big enough to fill the home! Everyone in our group discussed how good the home felt. Definitely planning to stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful place! Everything was clean and just as described. The kitchen being fully stocked was a plus and the whole house is filled with extra accessories like hair dryers, iron and ironing board, etc. Comfortable beds all around. Host is absolutely phenomenal with the hospitality, was very communicative and graceful with check in/check out. Made us feel very comfortable. The fresh chicken and duck eggs were delicious. Can’t forget the aquarium passes… soo many added perks that we loved, beautiful home, and wonderful host.

Our 3 generation family had a wonderful stay at this home. Our group of 4 adults and six kids had plenty of room for our needs and we found the kitchen well stocked. Great set up with several nice touches that made the house feel like home. The kids loved the ducks and chickens in the backyard and the fresh eggs awaiting us in the fridge was a lovely welcome gift and were delicious. The owner’s communication was exceptional. The house location worked great for our needs. Central to Monterey and Santa Cruz region. We used the aquarium passes worked well. Would absolutely stay here again when we return to the area on another family trip.

The home is clean and well decorated. There is more then enough space and the property is in a great location. It was the perfect spot for my bachelor party
