Hand soap in bathroom was empty, no wash cloths were available for bathing. Front entry was quirky and hard to use at times. Back yard was very nice. No closet in either bedroom.
Nice accomodations. Comfortable bed. Easy check in and driveway parking.

Overall not a bad stay. Perfect for a 1 night stay for 4 adults. Minor quibble, description lists parking included and the driveway was filled with cars.
Beautiful front of house Garden with friendly visits of a cat and Humming birds Thanks Mr. POMPEO

Lovely little house
Pretty little postcard yard and the space was comfortable enough for the two kids and 3 adults in my group. Everything worked well and nice large refrigerator in the kitchen. Single bathroom was a bit of a challenge for us because we all live in multiple bathroom spaces, but plenty of hot water for bathing and dishes.
It was quiet and the mattresses were comfortable. Those were the positives. One bedroom had too much furniture to pull the trundle all the way out. My husband and son had to move a tall 3'x3' dining table and chair from the bedroom into the corner of the living room. Frustrating that we had to do this. There was garlic bread left in the oven and an opened bottle of Pepsi on the counter from a previous renter? The owner doesn't provide hand towels, just 1 in the bathroom. I found some wash cloths in the kitchen. This is def a residence that the owner lives in and they leave when it's rented. The owner was unavailable and did not follow up on our issues.

Great little cozy home close to many things to do.
This home was perfect for our family of five. The home was cozy and very pleasant. Home had all we needed TV with many streaming apps. Living room was welcoming for our family to spend some time together. We were even able to cook a small Thanksgiving dinner while we stayed there. The house was 20 minutes from Moss Landing, 30 minutes to the Aquarium of Monterey Bay. And 5 minutes from a Movie theater. Overall we would definitely recommended to others. This home is small but very welcoming.

Uncomfortable Stay
The house was super dirty, looks like the owners (or someone) lives in it full time and just left because it was rented. It looked like it hasn’t been vacuumed/cleaned in awhile. We ended going to the store and buying our own sheets/blankets/pillow cases because it looked like the sheets hadn’t been washed. There was a huge pile of lent on the night stand in the bedroom we stayed in. The couches were stained and just gross looking. The house was just absolutely dirty which made it super uncomfortable. If they would just clean and vacuum and mop, the house would be nice and comfortable to stay in. But Clearly, someone is living there full-time and just left right before we showed up.
