Sarah's house is in a lovely quiet neighborhood just two blocks from the ocean. The house itself was very clean and comfortable, and more spacious than I expected. Great gas range, wonderful shower (excellent water pressure!), a well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and everything just as described online (wi-fi, etc.). Sarah provides clear instructions and helpful tips for enjoying the area. I was most surprised by the little town of Pacific Grove--I thought we'd be spending a lot of time driving back and forth from Monterey or Carmel--but there are plenty of great restaurants, a Safeway and a Trader Joe's, and cute shops right there in PG. (The house isn't within walking distance of any businesses, and the area lacks sidewalks, but it's a quick drive.) We happened to be there during the butterfly migration, so that was a plus! I highly recommend Sarah's place for an easy getaway with close proximity to gorgeous coastline, hiking, and wildlife viewing. (Bring your binoculars!)
