What an amazing place to call home for a bit! Removed from the hustle and bustle of the main coastal road by half a block, Compass Rose is a peaceful, delightful perch from which to enjoy everything the Monterey Bay has to offer.
The cottage is tastefully furnished, very comfortable and equipped with everything one would need, from binoculars for whale watching, to flashlights for night time walks. I saw two dozen bird species just looking out of the window, including an Osprey who brought the fish it had caught to a lamp post just across the street, sometimes twice a day.
I explored many fantastic nature areas, both along the coast and further inland, enjoyed grocery shopping and cooking at home, and the very quiet, restful nights.
Communicating with host Dave was terrific, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Compass Rose, and hope to be back sometime!
