We had an amazing three-day stay at Erika and Blake's. The cottage is beautiful and well-kept, plus we enjoyed having the option to cook for ourselves after all the restaurant food one eats on vacation. The location is fantastic; I loved that it was just a short walk to the ocean and the beautiful shoreline trail along the Monterey Peninsula.
Although we didn't get to meet either of our hosts as they had been called out of town at the last minute, they still made our stay a great one, in part by having a wonderful house sitter who welcomed us and provided the excellent fresh-baked cookies we'd read about here. We would (and will) absolutely recommend Erika and Blake's cottage to anyone looking for a nice getaway in the Monterey area.
