Dave and Lee were such easy going and gracious hosts. The house was super well-stocked (they had a Kitchen Aid stand mixer!) with stylish touches throughout. And though everything was nice and in good condition, it was comfortable to be there with my active kids (i.e. it didn’t feel like a museum).
The location was very convenient to the beaches (Asilomar, Pebble and Lover’s Point) and the Aquarium. We did drive the short distances to all these places because we had 5 and 6 year olds, and I wasn’t confident that they would walk the small hills without epic grumbling. The sidewalks were also inconsistent and I felt a wee bit nervous having my kids on the street. We drove into downtown Monterey and then rode our bikes on the paved trail between Lover’s Point and the aquarium a few times (thus avoiding parking fees near the aquarium).
We wanted a stylish but comfortable place to relax, near the beach/aquarium, and Dave and Lee’s was the perfect fit.
