Perfect family getaway! The location was within 15 minutes of everything yet away from town (downtown Monterey) so you had the quiet and peace of the suburbs. The huge yard was great for dogs and the patio with BBQ grill worked great! The host was Awesome!! They left a nice gift (which we didnât use) but checked with us twice just to see if everything was good (which it was). Already talking about when we can stay here again.

Hands down one of the best places my pals and I stayed at on our annual Monterey trips (and we've been taking this trip for years!)! The house was lovely and well maintained with plenty of beds and seating areas. The kitchen had practically everything we needed (though a pizza cutter would've been helpful) and enough space for a few of us to work on dinner together. The customer service was phenomenal and very prompt whenever I called with a question. We were a little confused by the trash situation and we would've benefitted on a primer for at least when the trash cans needed to go out on the curb before we arrived, but otherwise we figured out the sorting with no issue. All in all, La Casa de Estrella Marie was perfect for my friends and me and we'd love to visit again next year!
There's a giant yard which is good for outdoor games, suggest bringing your rc monster trucks if you have them. It was easy to drive to everything we wanted to go to. Lots of great beaches nearby. The location felt safe and secure. They had everything a family could need! My son loved the popcorn maker, bunk beds and games. Our baby was comfortable in the pack n play and high chair. My mother in law found her room to be peaceful and comfortable. Had all the cooking supplies we needed.
Wonderful house. A few things could use upgrades kitchen sink for example, but the house came well stocked with all the essentials to make a proper dinner. Huge back yard. They allowed me to bring my dogs and driving a Tesla, access to charge my car was well worth it. Wonderful experience.

This is a wonderful little house. Quiet street. Big backyard. The EV Charging was a huge plus. The kitchen is very well equipped. I've booked this house 2x's. They allowed me to have my dogs and I was so thankful for that.
The backyard is full of stickers, not very fun to play in. The house photographed well, but was definitely not as appealing in person (shout out to the photographer). The bathroom needs a new shower curtain liner and the cleaning was bare minimum. Absolutely livable, not gross, but also not what I would expect to be a thorough cleaning before we arrived.
We were headed up to the Monterey area for spring break, traveling with 3 children (7, 5, 1.5 y/o) and 4 adults. We found this place, which seemed to have the perfect combination of location, space, and a reasonable rate. Our stay went great! Ample space for everyone to spread out and equipped with enough for the kids that we probably didn't need to lug as much as we did. The house was well positioned near Monterey and surrounding areas that it was not a problem to get where we wanted to be for our activities. About 15 min to Monterey/Cannery Row. Overall a great stay and would definitely consider returning to this property again.

Our stay at 3956 La Casa de Estrella Marie was truly wonderful. The home was very comfortable for our family of 6 (grandparents, parents and two teenagers). It was probably one of the best equipped houses we stayed in. From the spices in the kitchen, to the big TVs, games, bedding, bathroom extras like make-up wipes, the brand new BBQ grill it was really great. We did not have need of extra help during our stay but I am sure they would have made every effort to help us out. It was very quite and a quick drive to shopping and to Monterey.

Took the family for a quick summer break getaway to Monterey and this house was a perfect setup for our group. We had space to spread out between the adults and kiddos while all still feeling comfortable. The welcome wine and cheese/crackers were a lovely touch, and we really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen since we did cook several meals during our stay. The house location is close to everything but also removed enough for a feeling of escape from the hubbub. On the downside, there was construction going on all over the neighborhood and since we were there during the week, it was constant- however, the house had good sound insulation from it all so other than the detours going on and out of the neighborhood it didnât really bother us too much. We had a small issue with the Keurig being non-functional when we arrived, but there was another coffee maker we used instead and the property management replaced the defective one immediately upon notification, which was wonderful. They were really communicative and responsive so definitely 5 stars there! Our only other complaint would be that there is only one small towel rack in the bathroom and no hooks on doors, so with 6 people we had to be creative to hang our towels up after showering. Also the backyard potted sticks formerly known as plants were a sad sight, but of course had no significant bearing on our enjoyment of the space. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
