We had friends visiting from the UK that wanted to go to Big Sur and do other things in Monterey Bay. This house is perfectly located to do everything we needed during our weekend. It's in a sleepy neighborhood with just a quick walk to the beach. it is a very simple house with 5 areas to sit and talk, eat, drink, play cards etc. - 4 in the house and 1 out back. The gardens are drought friendly (yay!) and the aesthetic is modern. Young and Sarah were very welcoming and everything you need to know is emailed about a week in advance. All four of us agreed - so much better than any hotel. We will be back and will definitely recommend. Loved it here.
