Erika and Blake are very friendly hosts but give guests privacy. The cottage located behind the main house and is very cozy and comfortable. Erika and Blake are very responsive to any needs that may come up. The location is perfect - walking distance to Asilomar State Beach and a short drive to restaurants and shops in downtown Pacific Grove. The private courtyard is relaxing and quiet - a perfect place to sit and read or just enjoy the birdsong. Everything in the cottage was as advertised and more. Our dog was in heaven with his daily walks on the beach. We would definitely return to this lovely spot.
