Joyful Home near Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach, Big Sur- STR25-000023

Great location!

The good: The property was clean and conveniently located.The annoying: The property was poorly supplied. It sleeps 8, but the dining table only seats 6, only 6 napkins. There were only 2 kitchen towels and no cloth or sponge to wipe down counters and stove. There was a broom but no dustpan. There were plenty of pots and skillets for stovetop cooking, but no casserole dishes/ roasting pans/ etc. for oven cooking of foods like lasagna or enchiladas. We had to purchase dishwasher pods, paper towels, garbage bags, toilet paper (there was a little of each of these items, but not enough).The bizarre: The welcome snacks included an open, half-empty bottle of wine. No wine would have been fine, but a half-consumed bottle???I wavered between ranking the property at 3 or 4 stars. It was clean and convenient, so I went with the higher score. Just a little attention to details and a few inexpensive upgrades would push it up to 5 stars.

We enjoyed our stayed at this beautiful house . House was well equipped and it was a great location .

Ants in the kitchen, not enough towels, gas smell - fixed by owner on day two; shower in primary did not drain properly, told there would be 2 parking spots on garage pad and 2 in garage, instructions in house stated no garage parking allowed; advertisement stated 3 bathrooms, but actually only 2 and a powder room. Big difference.
