My husband and I stayed in the Monarch Home with some friends and their one-year old daughter while we explored Monterey and the surrounding areas. The home was very comfortable (especially the beds!) and had everything we needed, including a crib and toys for the baby. We were walking distance to a few restaurants and the beautiful Asilomar coast. The pictures are accurate. The house is a great home base, especially given the location and price. Overall, we had an excellent stay!
