We truly enjoyed our stay at the Monarch Home — Anne is a wonderful host. While the cottage is quant - you will want for nothing (from Qtips to tampons (sorry for the TMI, lol), it is set up as your home away from home. It is the perfect home base for trips to…Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur, Carmel Valley, and a short walk into downtown, Lovers Point, and Asilomar Beach. We loved the close access to Monterey bay trails and enjoyed our jogs and bike rides on the daily.
