Mel's place was an incredible find in Pacific Grove, for less than most of the hotels we looked into. We were there for a 10 day trip with an infant, so wanted a place that we could cook some meals instead of having to run out every morning for breakfast or be out late every night for dinner. Mel's little kitchen was very well-equipped and just what we needed. And the bedroom and living room were cozy and relaxing. When we arrived, the cottages were sparkling clean (literally…the bathroom floors sparkled), and Mel even went to the trouble of finding a pack-n-play for our son! She was in regular communication with us both before our trip and during our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. When we reported a couple minor issues (mainly for her FYI, not because we weren't satisfied), she was very gracious. On top of that, she provided free aquarium passes (a huge money saver)! The little cottages were truly a unique find, as was the host!
