The cottage is a charming, well appointed, smartly decorated and in great condition. (My honey do list at my home got longer as a result!) The location is a great jumping off point for Carmel, Monterey, Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove. Super quiet neighborhood setting and you can take a short walk to the coast to watch the sunset and wild life. (Whales spouting offshore, seals and even a dolphin.. ) Nice private patio area with separation from the main house and yard. Erika and Blake provided great communication and their hospitality was above expectations. Great coffee (with cream!), breakfast snacks, cookies and a nice bottle of wine when we arrived. Thanks for everything! We had a wonderful time and will visit again. Don and Trish
