Erika and Blake are wonderful and welcoming hosts with a beautiful home. The guest cottage is just perfect: lovingly furnished and decorated with everything you might need. Due to the fact that it is located behind the main house you can enjoy privacy and your own inviting terrace. It is also the many nice details that make this place very special such as fresh flowers, the selection of complimentary teas or the fresh breakfast offer. We also appreciated the good location: The ocean is almost next door and there are plenty of good cafés and restaurants in walking distance nearby. It was great to get free access to the Monterey Bay Aquarium which is definitely worth a trip. Besides that there is plenty to do in the surrounding area: The Big Sur NP is less than an hour away and Monterey is a great location to spot whales. To sum it up: We highly recommend Erika's and Blake's wonderful cottage!
