The property was very clean and nicely decorated. I appreciated the complimentary snacks and beverages. The kitchen was well equipped. The neighborhood was very quiet which I appreciated. Location was very close to Marina State Beach not walking distance but a quick drive there. The house was comfortable for all family members. I did send a question regarding the property in May for a booking in July which I didn’t receive a response to until right before our stay. Other than that, it was a very nice stay.

Nice neighborhood. Clean property. Kitchen well stocked. All of my friends told me they were very pleased with my choice for our reunion. There was one thing that might need attention... We noticed a gas smell occasionally emitting from the gas fire place.

Weekend getaway

We stayed here for a friends’ wedding in Carmel. Everything was 20 mins or less away, including yummy food, beautiful beaches and views. It was really easy communicating with the host-BJ responded quickly to my questions. We were all comfortable and enjoyed the backyard hangs. The neighborhood is quiet and had easy freeway access- but far enough to feel away from it.

Relaxing stay near everything in Monterey County!

My friends and I stayed here while going sightseeing around Monterey and Big Sur prior to attending a wedding. Although the bathrooms were a bit dated and leaky, the cozy and relaxing living room and bedrooms made up for it. Plus, with the location near State Hwy 1, you can get anywhere up and down the Central Coast very quickly! Bijay was a great and responsive host and we recommend staying here.

Fabulous

I am a rental property owner so I know what it takes to serve clients. This property was perfect. It was super clean, had wonderful amenities, a welcomed surprise gift, and perfect location. 3 golfing buddies and I shared the home. It’s the ideal foursome one or two night stay-only 20 minutes from Pebble Beach. Also it’s only 3 miles from a state park and expansive beach area. I highly recommend it.

Love the house and location

Marina is close to Monterey Aquarium and the rest of places one wants to see and enjoy in the Monterey Bay. The house comfortably accommodated my family and a small dog. We enjoyed the place and would recommend it.
