great location, great house

The house was ready, very well maintained, and located within 20-30 minutes of everything Monterey and surrounding area. A bottle of wine was awaiting our arrival. Very simple to open lock box and lots of room and openness. Quiet neighborhood. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

la vista
Overall Comment
We stayed at this VRBO for a memorial service for our mother. We were curious if the pics would live up to the reality and they did. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed, including board games. If you travel with vinyl, there is a record player as well. The small touch of a basket providing slides to wear around the house since no shoes were allowed was great. The home was conveniently located and perfect for a larger family. The best praise we can give is when we were filling out our departure survey, our 15 year old nephew walked up and said "it was perfect". No higher praise than from the mouth of a teen. Book it!

clean, spacious rental in great location
Overall Comment
We loved our brief stay at La Vista Portola. The property was large and spacious with an open floor plan. Everything was clean and in great condition with all the sufficient amenities.
There was a brief issue with wrong lockbox code provided and overflowing trash bins but the management addressed those right away.
Overall, would highly recommend the property for families staying in the Monterey area.

beautiful house, great location
Overall Comment
House was in a great location - easy to get to with a great view of the area and airport (was not very noisy - you could hear the planes, but they were not loud). The kitchen was great, and well equipped (just wished we had a lid for one of the skillets, and some bigger pot holders). Beds, bedding, and towels were all comfy and in good shape.

The home was absolutely perfect for our stay. The interior lives much larger than the photos depict. The great table in the kitchen double as the ultimate card table. The location was not more than 15 minutes away from all of our destinations. We had two pickups at the airport - ten minutes round-trip! A fantastic home.

It was so nice to have a spacious, lovely place to stay for our friend reunion. The neighborhood was so nice and quiet, location was easily accessible to airport and grocery store too. The pillows were so comfortable and it was nice to have 3 bathrooms for all the people we had. Loved the big kitchen and dining table too, plenty of seating! Wonderful stay.

monterey golf buddies trip
Overall Comment
Location:
The location was great with 15- 20 minute access to all the great golf courses that we played at. There are good stores nearby to buy food, coffee, etc. The deck was awesome with a beautiful view.
There were a lot of towels and the bedrooms were clean. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms:
There were 3 bedrooms with 3 good beds and 1 additional bedroom with 3 bunk beds. Bunk beds may be good for younger adults, but not for a group with older adults and it was inconvenient. There were 2 good bathrooms (one with the upstairs bedroom and one shared by one of the downstairs bedrooms and the bunk bed room). The third bathroom attached to another downstairs bedroom was extremely tight with no elbow room and the sink is extremely close to the toilet.

wedding reunion
Overall Comment
We had a wonderful stay at our rental on La Vista Portola! We were in town for a family wedding and it was the perfect place for our multi-generational group. We had ages 16 months to the 90 year old grandmother of the groom. The property was very accommodating making sure a pack and play crib was on-site for my granddaughter. Property was spotless as well as having a well stocked kitchen to make meals for our very diverse age group. We couldn't have been more comfortable and are planning to return again.

This is a beautiful, peaceful place and it looks better in person than the pictures. There was plenty of natural light in the kitchen and dining room. The house has plenty of entertaining space to fit a big family. The kitchen was well stocked and had a lot of appliances. There were clear instructions and a welcome gift that was well appreciated. The location is also great, near everything and easy to get to.

Overall Comment
We enjoyed staying at the vacation rental. This was a work trip. We decided to rent the home instead of hotel rooms to save money and it was a smart choice. The house was clean, bright, quiet, had everything we needed and each person had their own space but spaces to be together too. We will rent here again.

great place to stay
Overall Comment
The house was amazing. It was easy to find. We loved sitting on the back deck watching the airplanes land and take off. The house was not too close so that it was super noisy from the planes. It was very close to stores, Safeway and Walgreens, so we could quickly grab anything we needed. The weather when we were there was perfect for using the fireplace in the front room. Something to note is the room off the livingroom ises a standing heater to keep it warm. My family had a great time staying here.

hilltop heaven
Overall Comment
I’ll start by saying, “omg.. what a view!” The first step you take through the front door, all you see is a magnificent view of hilltops with trees and houses. When sitting outside on the large patio provided with comfortable seating, you’ll even see plans departing from the nearby airport.
The home is very CLEAN, which has to be 1 on the top of my list. If a home is not clean, I will not be at ease and I’ll be the first one smoking out the door!! Home is very spacious and opened to where I had family sitting in different sections of the house, but it felt like we were in 1 room together. Some were in the kitchen at the large island, at the large dinner table, and living room. So we could all converse and not miss out on topics that were discussed. What I also liked about the home was its location. You have a grocery store that’s literally 3 mins away. So upon arriving, I dropped off my luggage and went grocery shopping. Of course I forgot to purchasing something, but didn’t mind going back because it’s so close by along with restaurants and other attractions. So, needless to say, the home is amazing and my family and I will definitely return!!

Four of us came together from all corners of California and loved having our own bedrooms. The Living Room is perfect for long talks into the night, and the spacious well equipped kitchen welcoming as we came together each morning. Easy location for access to all of Monterey County. Dinner at Tarpy's Roadhouse was a highlight.

This is now my 3rd far no response. Let's see if I get a response from this comment: I reported an electrical outlet in the main bath which was detached from the wall. Management sent someone to put it back into the wall. Turns out it's a problem and the maintenance person said it continues to happen. Perhaps it needs to be permanently fixed. The problem is that when he was finished, he came downstairs and told our daughter her wedding dress was pretty! How did he see the dress? The main bedroom closet was completely closed. No way he could have seen it without opening the door. A violation of our privacy. Why would he do that? Maybe you need more trustworthy help. I'd really like a response.

We enjoyed the stay in La Vista Portola very much. The house was very spacious, nice furnished and very cozy ! Especially the kitchen was very well equipped, we liked it very much cooking there and eating at home. Inside the house was spotless and all the facilities first quality ! Outside, the entrance and the terrace weren't well-kept, should be more attention on that point. Anyway, I can really recommend to hire this place !
