Recent Monterey Bay guest reviews

We had a group of eight stay in this home for a weekend. It was very clean, lovely, and peaceful. We cooked a couple of meals and the kitchen had mostly everything we needed (except tupperware, which I'd bring next time). The beds and rooms were very comfortable. Two of us stayed on the fold out couches in the office which was totally fine but I'd make sure to bring eyemasks and earplugs because of the motion sensor light and ring sensor (which we couldn't turn off). There was a small snafu with the Pebble Beach gate, but minor. I'd just expect to pay $12/day/car that enters and you'll be fine. Sometimes the gate guards are lenient as well and don't charge.

The location of this home is perfectly placed in walking distance to the santa cruz beach boardwalk, and the restaurants and downtown area! The home included everything needed for our stay and was very clean.

Rodrigo M. | Nov 2024

The house was spacious and great for the 10!of us. The water heater in the bathrooms was quick. The kitchen was well equipped, had enough dishes and silverware. Easy to get in and out. My family enjoyed cooking, so we were able to prepare a gourmet seafood meal and enjoyed it. We also loved the small wine cooler. We would stay there again. The only issue we had was trying to communicate with Vacasa.
