Charming, cosy cottage. We stayed in December and we were comfortably warm inside the cottage. The kitchen is equipped with has everything you need to make simple meals including spices, honey and olive oil. There is beautiful light in this cottage and the cottage has a delightful courtyard that is enclosed with Victorian inset windows, potted flowers and twisty vines. Bed is comfortable and soft which could be an issue if you have one of those backs that needs a firm mattress. You can watch cable TV from bed or watch any DVDs you might bring. The two reading chairs are comfortable. Homemade chocolate chip cookies were a hit (took a photo of the recipe so we could make at home). Definitely would want to keep this place a secret so that we can stay here again...
Walking distance to the beautiful Asilomar Beach. And be sure to go to the Monarch Sanctuary (we found the brochure in the drawer next to the bed) and got to see the butterflies emerge after a light rain. If you check out Pavel's Backerei (a place mentioned in Erika and Blake's handbook) you REALLY do need to go early -everything they bake was sold by 1pm the day we stopped by.
Thank you Erika and Blake!
