Wonderful weekend!

The houses are gorgeous and impeccably furnished. The beds are highest quality, so comfortable! Our group of 10 loved hanging out in the open kitchen/living area, preparing meals and laughing together. Vicki and Robert are incredibly thoughtful hosts, from the welcome touches to helping us fix the internet right away (provider fault) for those of us who couldn't quite log off completely. All the outdoor spaces to congregate are really great for different times of day. The property is so private and the surrounding area is gorgeous. We enjoyed hikes up out the back gate - steep hill! - into the rolling Carmel Valley hills. We would love to return and would recommend this to our friends.

Wonderful, quiet getaway!

We recently visited Monterey for work and there were several of us traveling together. We rented both the main house and the guest house. Both were wonderfully appointed with fun, cozy furniture and fabulous artwork. The owners did all the upgrades to the houses themselves and used bright, fun colors and put in huge windows that allow lots of light and give an open feel to the beautiful canyon right outside the windows. The kitchen is very well appointed with all kinds of pots/pans/dishes, etc... We cooked nearly every night. The bedding was high-quality and cozy. My favorite room of the main house was the dining room with it's giant table and huge windows and stark but welcoming feel. The owners were as welcoming and hospitable as if we were in a 5-star hotel - but better, because unlike fancy hotels, the WIFI there is free! I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Monterey.

Everything thing was exactly as described, if not better.

We were there for five days, w/ our family of five. Everyone loved the house, furnishings, artwork, stairway (!), etc.

The house was absolutely spotless, and the owners were great. (We only went to one of their recommended restaurants but it (Tarpey's) was spot-on as well.)

We do vacation house rentals around CA three or four times a year, and this one really stands out.

I'm sure we'll be back.

We just returned from a family reunion in the Monterey area and this house was home base for us out-of-towners. Everything is just as described in the listing. The place is classy, eclectic, comfortable, convenient and clean. The setting is gorgeous.The owners were very flexible and accommodating. The weather was chilly so we didn't get to sit outside at the multiple cool seating areas but we did take long walks on the nearby trails (don't miss). I would love to stay there again.
If you're a Steinbeck fan I highly recommend the John Steinbeck Center (museum), just a few minutes away in Salinas. (This is different than the Steinbeck House, which you can also visit.) Well worth the visit.

The best birthday (or any kind of) getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: February 4, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Vicki and Robert were fantastic. In addition to their beautiful, large house complete with wonderful amenities (plates, cookware, glasses, hottub, great beds), the trails that abut the property are fantastic. You don't need to drive to go hiking for hours, which is a relief. The trails themselves are abundant and (in January) full of gorgeous, draping lichen and lots of mushrooms to forage.

When we arrived for my birthday they had a bottle of wine, chocolate, and glasses set up; an incredibly sweet gestue. Also, a happy birthday headband! They also sent back forgotten items, free of charge.

In short: the house is spectacular and so are they.

Luxury Treehouse

5 of 5
Submitted: January 17, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
You know the excitement and comfort feeling you got from a tree house as a kid? Think of this as an adult luxury tree house! We came out for a Naval graduation and vacation. Tourists by day, homebodies by night. We felt so pampered and comfortable in this house! The ability to relax as a family; grill steaks & drink wine, hot tub, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings made for a true get away! Our bedrooms were cozy & no one had had a restless night. The unique lighting and art made for interest and entertainment. In December, we had usually had one of the 3 fireplaces taking off the chill. The description given of the home is accurate.

The owners were a delight to work with. Every correspondence was done timely, efficiently, and very courteous. We felt very private, yet knowing we could call on them if needed.

I hope you have a nice of stay as we did!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Fantastic outdoor space with hot tubs and a big fully equipped kitchen. The home is very well appointed and decorated with a cool modern style. Vicki was super accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. I'd recommend to anyone considering, and hope I have another opportunity to stay here again.

Thanksgiving Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: November 30, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
My family and I stayed at the Monterrey House for Thanksgiving weekend, and we had a wonderful time. We rented both houses.The Monterrey house is well equipped and everything is very easy to find. We even cooked a 12lbs turkey in the oven! The house is located on a serene lot that is high on charm and it was wonderful waking up and seeing deer grazing out the window. The hot tub was also a plus on cold nights.

Vicki and Robert (house owners) are very helpful and even let my parents in the house the night before we were suppose to arrive, which was very generous of them. I have enjoyed getting to know Vicki, she really cares about her guests and makes sure everything is always in order for your arrival.

Thanks Vicki for opening your home to us during the holidays.

A Serene Respite

5 of 5
Submitted: November 28, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Our group was looking for a home that offered a quiet atmosphere and time to rejuvenate. We were thrilled that the house offered this and more. We had 9 adults. The house was very comfortable and roomy. The kitchen was perfect, fireplaces kept us warm, and the hot tubs were relaxing. There were plenty of nooks and crannies if you needed time to yourself but also allowed us to all gather together in 1 room with feeling squished. Can't wait to go back!

Monterey - loved the house and its surrounding (and seclusion)

5 of 5
Submitted: November 7, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We have become VRBO fans within the last five years and have been very happy with where we have stayed. However, this rental (we had both places) provided us with a great location in which to bring together new and old friends. With three couples, we had ample room to sleep and enjoy each others company while upping the "ante" at every dinner setting by taking advantage of the well equipped kitchen. A great place to unwinde - sit by the gas fire (inside or outside); relax in one of the two hot tubs; take walks along the trails (and along the roadways - which are very quiet). Deer every where! A short drive to many of the local attractions, including the coast line, Pebble Beach and Carmel. It was perfect for us, and the owners were awesome. Highly recommended.
