The last weekend of October four couples(in 50's and early 60's) rented this wonderful home for 3 nights. It was everything John described and more. The living room was nicely furnished and it looked like the furnishings were relatively new. Couches were comfortable and each made into a queen size bed. Oh, the views from the big picture window gave us a glimpse of the ocean. The TV had a surround sound and there was a great selection of DVD's to enjoy. The kitchen was newly remodeled and was well equipped with modern appliances, great cookware and so many utensils that we lacked for nothing. The workspace was ample so that we could cook together. In a small room off the kitchen, a new LG washer and dryer were there for us to use.
Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. There was a bedroom(queen bed) and bathroom downstairs and 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The two front bedrooms had a queen and a king bed and the 3rd bedroom had bunk beds, with the bottom bed being a double. It looked like it was meant for kids, but it worked out fine for us.
The patio was equipped with a gas barbecue, a fire pit and a lovely dining table that could easily seat our group of 8. We played the game corn hole in the backyard as it was more than spacious.
If I had to criticize the property it would be that it lacked an inside dining room table where we all could sit and eat. When we did eat inside(one night), we had to sit in different sections of the house . A portable table would have been easy to put up and down. Next time, we thought we would bring a table or two card tables from home .
All in all the house is lovely with its great location(we walked along the water each morning into downtown Monterey )ocean views and great furnishings. You would not be disappointed in this rental.
