We have been staying at the cottage for several years of visits now. Us and our Great Dane feel at home in this bright and airy guesthouse. There is enough space to lounge on the patio or inside in the seating area. Being a big one room suite, it is amazing how uncrowded it is. Having a closet to keep our suitcase and hang our clothes helps keep things tidy. The bathroom is luxurious, and we enjoyed the spa-like robes this year, feeling quite pampered. Several times we brought left-overs back for a later meal, using the kitchenette to reheat and also to scramble up some eggs to go with the delicious yogurt and granola that is supplied. A quick walk to the shore and then a few minutes further to the beach was a great start to each morning. The cottage is perfectly situated near many places to visit in Monterey, Carmel, and surrounding areas. This year we took a walk up to Jack's Peak (google it) to see a great view of the entire bay. Even with a little rain, to be snuggled up in the king-sized bed, with the top section of the dutch door open to hear the sprinkles, we felt sheltered in a little hideaway, escaping the world around us. The only negative thing I ever have to say about this cottage is that eventually, we have to leave and go back to the real world. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!
