Our stay was great! The hosts were out of town, but left good instructions on how to find the place and make our way back to the guest cottage. We also had chocolate-chip cookies waiting for us :) The cottage was very clean, very cute and well decorated with plenty of amenities in a small kitchen. Everything we needed was there. There was also great courtyard area in the larger property and a small private outdoor area next to the cottage. We loved the neighborhood (away from the tourist bustle) and the ability to walk down to the beach with our dogs in five minutes. The free guest passes to the Monterey Aquarium were an added bonus (one of the best we've been to). We wished we could have stayed a week and one day will definitely return and hope to meet the hosts!
