Joe was amazing words cannot describe how kind he was.. I wasn’t there all the time due to work but I enjoyed it when I had the chance.. I highly recommend it and will definitely return ❤️.. Dave / October 2023 4.5 Star; Joe and Melody have a gorgeous home, and the attached, private cottage is a lovely place to stay. Everything we needed was provided and the outdoor seating / BBQ area is just beautiful. I would recommend this lovely place. MaryJane / September 2023 5 Star; Joe is a great communicator and provided clear information and ideas of surrounding area. The cottage was up-to-date, organized, full amenities as described. Nice setting with outdoor patio. We were there for overnight only so did not use all the amenities provided. Cottage is quiet and very comfortable. I would return easily and overall very pleased with this booking. Eugene / September 2023 5 Star; Joe's cottage house has a nice view and nice landscaping. He allowed me to check in early!! Joanna / August 2023 5 Star; Fantastic stay! Spacious and clean, with an outdoor patio. Very generous hosts. Amber / July 2023 5 Star; We had a fun time staying here on our family vacation. Our 2 little ones fit wonderfully on the convertible couch at bedtime. And we felt the house was close to everything we wanted to see, but tucked away enough to be peaceful and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. Oindrila / July 2023 5 Star; Nice place to stay. everything is nearby but far from public noise. Monterey aquarium pass got received. Excellent stay. Kitchen has all the basic amenities but not all fully equipped kitchen. Excellent stay. Nicholette / June 2023 4.5 Star; This was our first Airbanb experience and it was great. Joe was a great communicator and the space was very clean and comfortable. It was stocked with more than we could need. The three of us and our dogs had a great stay. It was a really quick drive to the beach and great restaurants. Beautiful town and you can tell Joe and Melody take great pride in their home. Max / June 2023 5 Star; Good experience. It can be easy to miss the driveway on first pass but easy after that. Only critique is small: the bathroom is connected to the bedroom with no door in between. It would be nice to have a closing door to separate those spaces, especially if people are staying on the pullout couch too Joe was very friendly and responsive. The internet was out for a few days which made it hard to do work, but Joe made a small reimbursement to compensate. Very clean please and easy access to Santa Cruz, Aptos, Monterey, etc and with great views from the neighborhood Andrew / June 2023 4.5 Star; Great spot for a family as the bathroom is open to main bedroom. Michael / June 2023 5 Star; Joe is very nice and flexible. Perfect place for one night.
