We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Kevin and Vicky were thoughtful and considerate hosts. They did a great job sharing information about the cottage and the surrounding area before we arrived, and then the place was replete with guidebooks and other information for our travels around Carmel, Monterey, Big Sur, and so on. The neighborhood is odd but very convenient to the aquarium and the other places we visited. The cottage itself was quirky (especially in terms of ceiling height) but more than met our needs, and it was nice to see friendly faces at night as we crossed paths with people staying in the other cottages. It was definitely cool to read Steinbeck's letters from Eardley Street while on Eardley Street.
