Recent Monterey Bay vacation rental reviews

Despite the list of amenities which includes internet and wi-fi, there is no internet service here. The vacasa staff told me this has been a known problem for many weeks and the owner is working to install a new internet service. Unfortunately this meant we could not do any work on our laptops during the stay and had to drive elsewhere in order to work. Using a personal hot spot is also a nonstarter here because there is very spotty cell service. No internet of course also means no streaming, no music, no TV. So it is a wonderful place to visit if you would like to spend a few days unplugged from everything! And this is the way it should be marketed, rather than listing internet and wifi as an amenity only to have the guests arrive and learn otherwise. To be fair, when I protested about this after our arrival, they credited our account about $30/day. But it would have been much nicer to know the situation ahead of time so that we could have made other arrangements if necessary. Otherwise, the home is lovely and clean and located perfectly within Pebble Beach!

Location could not be beat! Sunsets were to die for! Unit was very nicely updated. Bring your beach chairs.
