Sarah and Evan made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Sarah talked us through the local places ( Pacific Grove, Monterey) as well as where to go on the Big Sur, which we had come to see. She gave us maps and lent us guidebooks and her help really made a difference to how we organised our time.
The room is separate from the main house and has large sliding glass doors so that you can see the garden and the view of the Pacific beyond. We had a kitchen area with a fridge and a lovely bathroom with a walk in shower. The bed was enormous and very comfortable.
Sarah and Evan had left their record collection for us to play, which was great, although I overindulged in Barry Manilow and the Bee Gees and afterwards couldn't get their songs out of my head!
On the second day I mentioned to Evan that I might do some hand washing and hang it out, and he immediately gave us access to the family washing machine and drier, which I thought was very generous.
It's a peaceful, calm place to stay, and only walking distance ( or a short drive) from a Trader Joe's and a couple of really nice restaurants ( try Julia's which is fab).
It's a lovely place to stay. Thoroughly recommended!
