We really enjoyed our stay at Monarch Garden Cottage! Rick gave us great suggestions to enjoy our visit to Big Sur, and Suzanne, though away during our visit, was very responsive in communications over email.
The Cottage is in a strategic location to explore Monterey's main attractions on foot. It’s indeed small, but equipped with all you will need for a short stay. Our six-month old son loved the fish pond in the large and well-kept yard.
