Beautiful location in the hills above Morgan Hill. The home was very comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were very welcoming and it was nice meeting the whole family, including the pup, Teddy. The pool could use some upgrading, but overall it was very clean and we really enjoyed the hot tub. The entire getaway was very enjoyable.
Stayed for night before and wedding night, myself and Best Man(son, 28). Never received an email about checking in until hours after checking in. Owner complained about having 2X vehicles. At check-in, advised we were there for my wedding and Wife would be there 2nd night and groomsman would be over before the wedding to get dressed. Later complained about the 3 others present for 2 hours, said no parties aloud, what a joke. The picture looks nice, but the pool/hot tub were unkept and not very inviting, yard was messy. Then when we returned the wedding night, we were locked out of the entry gate and no reply from on-site host. These people should not be "Hosts"
Once you get past the beautiful scenery, daily deer sightings, and the beautiful home, you have to take time to visit with Teddy heâs the Yorki in charge of the property, so friendly. While you enjoy the beautiful weather in a stunning home, you may get a chance to visit with Sophie. Sheâs the 18 month old little girl who never stops smiling. What you get when you stay with these folks, is a beautiful setting, in a family environment. A rare gift these days, we will be back.
The hosts of this property were absolutely wonderful. They were communicative and happy to help with our needs. The property was clean today was exactly what we were looking for. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area
The place is great and all that others have said it was - but the communication left a lot to be desired. To be honest I am used to other services where hosts respond to questions quickly and accurately. This seems to be a situation where the hosts are in a bit over their heads - read their other services reviews which I wish I had done before booking, .
To be fair the owners were more helpful once we were there, although we had to ask for help from friends in SF to find out what was going on when the power went out before the owner responded. They did refund one night of our stay when we agreed to leave early which was very gracious of them.
Pros:
-the pool house is large, overall clean and very private and quiet.
-The bed is the most comfortable we have ever slept in
-while itâs quiet and remote itâs very near town and great restaurants
Cons:
- Communication with the owners was problematic and difficult. Some of this is on VRBO as they said we would have check-in info over the weekend and the owner did not feel comfortable with that. But seriously how likely are 2 70âyear olds going to come and storm your gate?
-home was clean but some items left undone, like dirty soap in the shower and used K-cups in the Keurig which was also not clean.
-and to that point - who has a Keurig AND DOESNT leave at least a couple of K cups for the guests? We donât own a Keurig so we didnât bring k cups and had to go out and buy them. If the place was a discounted price I might understand but itâs not.
-biggest issue was over the pool. I confirmed before we booked that they would heat the pool, only to find out on our last day that the heater was broken. The owner denied saying the pools would.be heated until I showed her a screenshot of her husband confirming it would be heated for our stay. We chose this property specifically for the heated pool and they knew that, but they never checked before we arrived that the heater worked. Until I showed the screen shot the owner maintained they never said the pool was heated.
We left early per agreement and left the place spotless - we took tons of pictures to show how clean we left it stripped beds, put sheets and towels in hampers and totally cleaned the kitchen.
Overall I will likely not book with VRBO again as you donât get as robust reviews and certainly not much info about how the owners handle problems.
The Managers live on-site, this is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath pool house with a small kitchen. I would recommend and when Iâm in town next, Iâll stay there again for sure!
Beautiful Casita with everything you need for a relaxing get away in the central coast wine country. Quiet and out of town but close to Morgan Hill Restaurants and Wineries.
