My partner, David, and I are from British Columbia and recently enjoyed a trip to central California. We had the good fortune to be able to stay at California Dreaming w/Ocean View from October 5 - 9, 2014. We were warmly greeted by our hosts Sarah & Evan and their son Josh and pet dog - Zeus. We found our hosts to be very helpful through our entire stay beginning with a thorough orientation by Evan. In addition to information about our room, Evan provided us with a number of suggestions about local eateries and things to do. David and I really enjoyed our room and found it very clean. The bed was especially comfortable and our room was quiet. It was especially nice waking in the morning and looking out at the beautiful surroundings from our bed and watching the birds. Sitting out on the patio early in the morning with our wake up coffee was very special. It was almost difficult to leave our comfortable surroundings each day but eventually we did get out and took in some of the amazing surroundings and make special mention of Big Sur and Carmel (including a fantastic large beach area). We really enjoyed the food at restaurants in Pacific Grove and Carmel Valley and found the service to be very friendly. One of our favourite breakfast places in PG was Toasties on Lighthouse Avenue. Back to our room, our hosts were very good at checking in with us to see if we needed anything. We are dog lovers so enjoyed greetings from Zeus as we were coming and going and sometimes Zeus would just come over to our patio/room for a pet. We felt like we were at home away from home. David and I talked about the fact we could have used more vacation time at California Dreaming. There is just so much to see and great eateries just a short drive from where we were staying. Anyone reading this review can probably tell we kind of enjoyed all aspects of our stay.
