My husband and I LOVED our stay at the cottage! Everything far exceeded our expectations! The cottage is even cuter than the pictures describe (and of course very clean). It is the perfect size for two people. There is a little kitchenette that is fully functional as well as a coffee maker, tea kettle, microwave, etc. Erika and Blake are such gracious hosts! While we didn't get to meet them in person, their instructions were very clear, and we did not have any trouble with anything during our stay. Erika provided us with some wine and breakfast items in the fridge when we arrived, which was so nice of her. She even accommodated my gluten free needs and baked me homemade gluten free cookies, which tasted amazing!! I appreciated the personal touches. The cottage is very private, and we felt completely safe in the neighborhood. We enjoyed wine on the private patio one night - the whole ambience is very relaxing! The location of the house is also perfect - just a short drive to Monterey and Carmel. It is very central. We also made the short walk from the cottage to the beach (5 min) one night to watch the sunset. Our stay could not have been more perfect! We were so sad to leave this wonderful oasis and hopefully will return soon!! Thank you for an excellent stay!
