This charming home is a idyllic base for exploring Monterey and surrounding areas. We stayed with our 4 children and it was a great vacation! We loved being so close to the aquarium, the tide pools and Big Sur hiking, yet still having a quiet place to retreat in the evenings. Dave and Lee were absolutely fantastic about communicating, making us feel welcome, responding quickly to questions, and offering area recommendations. The home is well stocked and full of thoughtful small touches that make it truly comfortable and enjoyable. The beds are comfy and the the shower is great - 2 hallmarks of a good place to stay in my book! Loved the quality linens and towels, and the kitchen full of all necessities. Staying anywhere with 4 kids can get a little noisy, so we very much appreciated Dave and Lee expressly indicating that they do not expect guests to tip-toe around the house on their account (shared walls) but to feel at home and laugh and live. All in all it was a great experience and I would highly recommend staying here!
