The property was VERY clean, and we even thanked the cleaning person when we left. It's super close (very walkable- a block and a half) to a great park. The negatives: the backyard doesn't have the fire pit as shown in listing, the dryer was having issues with the hose not being attached to the wall, the instruction sheets conflicted on if we needed to take the garbage to the street and if we had to strip beds (we did). Overall decent place, lovely neighborhood, great location in Seaside.

There were some pros and cons to our stay here. Pros: Seamless check in process, perfect size for our family of 4 plus 1 friend, great/safe neighborhood, convenient location to get to a lot of spots, walking distance to a park. Cons: the pictures are quite outdated on the listing, the backyard is overgrown and looks like it hasn’t been cared for in a long time, the cleaning crew did a pretty poor job (ie a used diaper in one of the bedrooms, hair in the bathroom/tub), the bathtub had mildew in the grout (which probably would have come off if it were actually cleaned). Despite the cons, it was a nice place to stay for our trip to the area and would consider it again if the backyard was in better shape.

The house worked very well for our family and pretty much met all of our needs. The location was great and convenient. And had a nice view! The only improvements I recommended were to fix the back fence as it is falling over by the playground, the bath tub plug doesn’t work so we weren’t able to give the children a bath, the beds were extremely soft and uncomfortable and the packnplay was very old and dirty and needs to be replaced.

Great Stay near Monterey

The property was very clean and in a very quiet neighborhood. There was a playground in the backyard that my 5 and 4 year old loved. Less than a 10 minute drive to Cannery Row. We will be looking to stay here again in the future.

There was a note left “from management” that the washing machine or dryer was not working which was incredibly disappointing since we were there for a long stay and absolutely planned to use the machines. According to reviews this has been an issue since September. Even if they did work they were so covered in mold I was not excited to try them out. Also the pack and play was broken and taped together and not safe for a child to sleep in. When we told management they said “thanks we’ll update the listing.”

Perfectly Simple, comfortable and Clean

Location was quiet and central to many things. Grocery store is 2 minutes away. House was very clean and well stocked. Bed was super comfortable as was the couches. This place was perfect for our work crew. FYI, they only have a Pod coffee maker, but did provide a refillable Pod.

Great location and the property worked well for myself and my family of 5. Well equipped with a high chair, travel crib, and board games. After doing a load of laundry the first day we noticed the dryer didn't work. We informed the property management company, who offered us an hour later check-out (not sure how that remedied the situation, but we opted for it and hung our clothes on the dining room table chairs to dry). Other than that inconvenience, the property was fine. A word of caution for parents, the wall heater extends to the floor and gets hot, so we opted to keep our toddler away from it to avoid her getting burned.

At first, welcoming via text, however when we had an issue with the dryer not working after confirming with them that washer and dryer were in working condition. We washed our clothes and the dryer tumbled but never heated to dry our clothes. After messaging the host, an update was never sent. I sent another message in the evening to let them know I had wet clothes and a reply was sent at 11:30 pm to state an apology for the inconvenience and nothing can be done. Kitchen and laundry access is a huge component of renting a house for our trip. To not have laundry access was a true inconvenience especially to not have an update until 11:30pm and have to bag up wet clothes to take into our car for a 12 hr car ride was very upsetting.

Overall, not bad but we got disappointed a few times and our concerns were not addressed (the reason for loosing one star). First, I communicated with the host before renting that I will need a travel crib and they ensured us that there is one. When we got there, there was one very dirty travel crib that I didn't risk putting my baby in. If you are renting and planning to use the crib, make sure they replace or properly clean it. Also, 2 hand towels were dirty (make up stain and obvious that they were not washed) so I'm not sure if the rest of the towels were washed or not. In addition, the trash bin was broken and did not open properly. I addressed all these the first day and they told me that the maintenance team will be there to address all these issues. No one showed up and I was too busy with my kids to follow up. The house was overall clean. The backyard was not clean and neat like in the pictures. There was overgrown grass and vegetation everywhere that made it very hard to walk. My babies played on the swing set a little bit which was fun. I got good communication from the host but as I said, none of my concerns where addressed. We were told to start a wash of the towels on our way out which we did, so the next person going in will definitely have fresh and clean towels.

Nice time but issues need addressing.

Thank you for letting us stay at your rental property. We had a good time, but the following items made us give a 3 star rather than a 4 star rating. The bed in the middle room was very uncomfortable. Some of the knives were rusty and grips were falling apart. There was no grilling spatula. We Found ourselves having to go to the store for items like aluminum foil and salt. The shower drain appeared clogged and didn’t drain appropriately during showers. On a positive note, the property was very clean and tidy. It was conveniently close to many attractions. There were plenty of fresh towels. The fridge and freezer & washer/dryer were very clean and nice. We also liked the game closet and had lots of fun playing “shoot the moon.”

Ok experience

The location and neighborhood were great—quiet and close to stores. But the house was not clean or well maintained. We found ants in the kitchen every day. The couches were stained enough that we had to put sheets over them just to feel comfortable sitting down. When we opened the beds, we found hair in the sheets. Towels were stained, worn out, and discolored. The bathtub also had hair in it, and the shower curtain was visibly stained—we had to go out and buy bleach just to spray everything down before using it after a long day of travel. The washing machine, which is used for all the towels and linens, had a thick layer of mold around the seal—even after running a full bleach cycle, the mold was still there. The backyard didn’t match the photos—the garden was completely dead, the kids’ play gym was beat up from the sun and full of spiderwebs, and the awning was ripped. Overall, the property wasn’t maintained to a basic standard of cleanliness or care.

Disappointing quality and communication

Instead of receiving check-in instructions 2 hours before arrival as anticipated, we sat in our car in the drive for nearly 45 minutes waiting for a response from the customer care team. Once getting inside, seemed fine at first glance. The longer we stayed, the more problems we found. - the bath doesn’t work, only the shower; - the hardware for the shower curtain rod was hanging broken off the wall; - black - the sprayer on the kitchen sink leaked and sent scaling hot water all over me; - advertised a crib- there is actually a very used, stained pack and play- we specifically asked if there was a sheet for it, were told yes and there was not a sheet; - advertised as kid safe with exposed electrical outlets throughout the house
