We had an unforgettable trip to Monterey and Big Sur and loved staying in the Monarch Home during our visit. Anne seems to have thought of everything, and her home is incredibly clean and well appointed with all that a traveler could want. We certainly took advantage of the aquarium passes, as well as other recommendations for local sights. If you are a first time visitor to the area, this would be an ideal place to stay as Anne has amassed a wealth of tourism information. And the home is conveniently located for many points of interest. It would also be fantastic for families, as there are two bathrooms, games, and a washer/dryer. We highly recommend staying here!
