We stayed a Monty, with different grandchildren coming in each week. We had a great time. Everything we needed was available, blender, toaster, extra seating, etc. very thoughtful. Tina responded immediately whenever we contacted her , before our stay and during our stay, she is fabulous to work with, so helpful. Great location in the middle of the village and less than a minute walk to bring home groceries. Within a few minutes of the free shuttle. Great value for the cost.

Our hostess was super nice and helpful. The place is clean and comfortable. If stairs are an issue for you then the location of the unit could be concerning but the location of the complex on the island is superb. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and would definitely consider returning.

“This is where we’re staying?!” Our children exclaimed as we approached The Monterey. After easily parking in front of the building we entered The Monterey to the sound of the courtyard fountain and the sight of the awe-inspiring landscaping designed by Kate Sessions—“The Mother of Balboa Park”. Opening the beautiful door to our new, albeit temporary, home put smiles on our faces as we took in the light-filled rooms. As we spent our July in paradise, we woke up each morning to the soothing sounds of the courtyard fountain and fell asleep to the coastal breezes flowing through the numerous windows. The condo was well-appointed, comfortable, and in a great location. The Monterey is across the street from Vons making grocery shopping extremely easy and close to the beach (10-minute walk). Orange Ave is one street over. You wouldn’t know though by how quiet it is in the condo and courtyard. We met several neighbors and they were all very nice. The beds were both comfortable. One is softer than the other which is nice to have a firmer bed and a softer bed. The couch was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals at home. The views into the courtyard were so relaxing and we enjoyed watching the sunset each night. We were even able to watch two firework shows from the condo on Independence Day! Tina was a wonderful and attentive host! I highly recommend staying at this historic property and hope we can come back soon!

Can't beat this location!!!!! We enjoyed 2 months in this wonderful rental. Owners super helpful during the whole stay.
