I think the "cottage" has ruined us forever for our first Airbnb experience. It was BEYOND all expectations. The pictures just touch on the comfort and spaciousness (2 adults and a Great Dane) of this cottage. All previous reviews are accurate and hard to add to. We have been coming to Monterey the exact same weekend for 14 years and bravely chose a different location. We enjoyed a very short walk to the beach each morning, even amid a light rain. It was centrally located to Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel. When we wanted to relax, it has the features and comfort of being at home. The dutch door was nice to crack open for fresh air, and to hear the rain coming through the trees landing on the brick patio. There is a small room heater, which worked perfectly to remove any chill, and many windows that can be opened for fresh air. The king-size bed is like a cloud, you just sink in it. I have a bad back, yet never felt it during my stay. The bathroom was amply supplied (even with a few items stashed in a bottom drawer that may be needed if you forgot to pack). The kitchenette ALMOST made me want to prepare our own meal (Maybe next time). We enjoyed fresh scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, toast and vanilla yogurt with granola delivered to us each morning at our requested time by the host. We forgot there was anyone else living nearby. We have already booked our next stay for next year and are counting down the days. Suggestion: Bring slippers, as you may drag sand in from the walks (parque flooring). Nice size refrigerator can handle many snacks, drinks, etc.
