Marbella Lane - 3BR Designer Home in Pacifica

The company made our vacation disappointing & uncomfortable after having spent approximately 2000 . Was my first and last time renting from VRBO. Asked for a picture with me holding my drivers license and visa card twice. Instructions were complicated , demanding & confusing, they refused to provide me the address of the rental & the instructions for entry until 2 hours before lodging. When one is juggling flights of 2 separate groups, rental car, delayed flights, one feels uncomfortable not having concrete details on the lodging. After paying and getting through the initial phase, I received threatening messages asking that i report any visitors coming to the rental at any time. My reason for making this trip was specifically to visit my Son, daughter in law & granddaughter. Told that cameras were in place to monitor and that we would BE EVICTED if others came to visit! IT WAS HORRIBLE!! In all my years of renting from other welcoming sites, I was NEVER TREATED IN a DISRESPECTFUL FASHION. I also called the CA DEPT OF MOTOR VEHICLES who STATED THAT DISTRIBUTING COPIES OF MY LICENSE WAS NOT RECOMMENDED as IT MAKES ONE VULNERABLE TO IDENTITY THEFT. VRBO already had my & info.The rental smelled , pillows uncomfortably , lnchairs dirty. No blankets -I selected the house because it had a small back yard & was not kept. Long grass-we were unable to walk on it.House & neughborhood mediocre. City worked on street daily-loud drilling next to house caused me headaches.

House is in a great neighborhood close to multiple beaches, shops and restaurants. Close to downtown San Francisco and Half Moon Bay for easy day trips. The house was adequate for our needs and we enjoyed sitting outside watching sunsets and enjoying the cool weather. Backyard was in need of attention during our stay, grass was way overgrown. Kitchen was lacking in some basic utensils but we made it work. Please note the strict house rules when booking.

We enjoyed this house very much. The three rooms were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bathroom is small but functional and everything was very clean. We did have to report that the house smelled of cigarette smoke. Communication with the property manager was fine, although a telephone number would have been helpful. Note the key pad is on the door and not the lock boxes on the porch.I would stay here again as it was an excellent location and had everything we needed.

Nice little house, loved the neighborhood. I highly recommend!

Very good

This was a nice home in a safe neighborhood. Very close to amenities (grocery stores) and the beach.There were only two improvements I could suggest. For the price of the rental, we were disappointed in the cleanliness of the house. If the host would like to contact me directly, I’d be happy to

Beautiful home, felt very safe. Plenty of people walking dogs at all times of day. Close to the beach but not the cleanest beach. Not a far drive to get to a nicer beach further south or to san francisco. Loved having laundry facilities. Limited kitchen, only 6 plates. Fire alarm went off once in the middle of the night and sprinklers were broken.

Took our family of 6 on a summer trip to San Francisco. House was clean, well equipped and in a great location. Communication between the owner was great and instructions were clear and very helpful. Would stay here again!

This is our second time staying in a Marbella rental, and this will be the last time. The check-in process was laborious, inconvenient and confusing. There was no local host when we arrived. Very basic things lacking like a can opener. After much back and forth with remote personnel - again laborious and time consuming communication, we were told to supply our own kitchen supplies and then send a receipt. I am still waiting for a refund. Marbella is a slimy corporation and they should not be in business.

Close to the beach and shopping center which is very convenient.
