We stayed a week (without a pet, from April 15th to the 22nd)) at "Pet-Friendly Asilomar Beach Cottage," and could not have been happier. Erika and Blake were perfect hosts, attending promptly to our every need, but also giving us plenty of opportunity to enjoy the quiet and solitude of their wonderful residential property.

Our stay was usually quiet enough so that we could hear the nearby surf and the wind in the cyprus and pine trees.

We love this neighborhood and have been coming here most years and staying in a nearby motel for more than a decade. (We had our honeymoon in Carmel 47 years ago and have tried to get back at least once a year ever since). Erika and Blake's cottage is much better than the nearby motel ... quieter and better food (excellent breakfast and the occasional treat of chocolate chip cookies when we returned to the cottage after a day of biking).

We enthusiastically recommend Blake and Erika's "Asilomar Pet-Friendly Beach Cottage" to any and all, and hope to return here frequently ourselves.
