This was my 2nd time at Shari's cottage, having initially been with friends I returned with my family. There are great touches for kids (sand toys, plastic plates, stepstools and toys) and great amenities for adults (espresso machine, nice knives and tons of pots and pans). Great location - walking distance to the beach, a brewery, coffee shops etc. Shari has tons of thoughtful touches in the cottage - like holiday decorations and a guest pass to the Monterey Bay aquarium. Looking forward to returning again!
