Vacation Rentals in Monterey County

"Great all around "

"The location is just a short stroll from the iconic clam chowder at Old Fisherman’s Grotto & surrounded by many great dining options. The cinnamon toast at Jack’s Monterey was delish. There’s also a Carmel bakery downstairs, which was a convenient treat to have just steps away. The hotel lobby itself set the tone right away. It felt laid-back yet inviting, exactly the kind of atmosphere we look for when we’re on vacation. We were also able to check in early, which made our arrival smooth. Such a great bonus! They even provided scavenger hunt activities for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. This is truly a family-friendly hotel that makes traveling with kids feel easy & enjoyable. I’m very particular about bathrooms, beds, & overall cleanliness, especially since I have an immunocompromised child, so this is something I don’t take lightly. Portola did not disappoint. Both the bathroom & bedroom were spotless & even better than expected in person. The bed & pillows were incredibly comfortable. The A/C worked great, & having a ceiling fan was a nice bonus touch. The photos online truly don’t do this place justice. It’s even more beautiful in person. The heated pool was a hit, & the towels felt clean and luxurious. The staff were nice! There was a tiny red spider spotted on my child’s bed, but thankfully my eldest caught it right away. Aside from that small moment, everything about our stay was superb and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!"

"Great continental breakfast and cocktail hour. "

"The staff were great, the location is great, the facility is well kept. I didn’t like that there was no AC and I wish I knew before booking. "

"It was clean but air freshener was really smelly. Because of it could not run AC. It triggered my asthma. After talking front desk, i was promised the issue would be fixed. It was not. .."

"Everything was just as a expected "

"The location and price were excellent. We could walk to the beach. It is a bit dated and a little worn in places. Loved the clean comfy bed, the quiet and the natural surroundings. I would stay there again."
