Believe all the positive reviews for this lovely cottage. I thought it looked great in the pictures, but they don't do it justice. Starting with an extremely comfortable king-size bed, the cottage has all the comforts of home. Erika & Blake miss no detail necessary to make your stay both comfortable and memorable. The cottage and patio are very thoughtfully decorated, creating a beautiful and relaxing setting. Their "light breakfast" was a real treat. No dry danish or box of corn flakes, but a really nice breakfast. The only drawback is that I didn't want to leave...seriously!

The location is perfect. It's close to the beach and great little restaurants in Pacific Grove (be sure to check out a few on the list provided by Blake & Erika), but just far enough from the touristy parts of Monterey and Carmel. The free tickets to the Monterey Aquarium were really a great bonus. I hope to visit the area again soon. I would never stay anywhere but the Cottage at Green Gates.
