The hosts met me at the property at the time we agreed upon for check in and they were very friendly and accommodating, showing me all that their home had to offer. The place was immaculate and exactly as they had described in the listing - it is cozy, but offered plenty of room for five guests with two bedrooms and a comfortable couch. Built in the early 1900's it has preserved the charm of its age and is very well kept inside and out. The large windows keep it bright inside and has a real homey-feel to it with the way it has been decorated.

As for amenities and supplies, it has everything you could need for a brief or extended stay in the Monterey area. There is a full kitchen stocked with dinnerware and appliances. There is a stackable washer/dryer for any laundry you wish to do. They had even stocked the refrigerator and pantry with some basic needs. For our trip it was the perfect place and we would happily choose to stay there again in the future.

Location is important and this one is walking distance from many shops and restaurants on Lighthouse Ave in Pacific Grove and the beautiful coastline is also a short walk from the property. Many of the areas primary tourist destinations can be reached in a 10-15 minute drive.

If you are traveling with children, one bonus for the property that I don't recall being mentioned in the listing is a small park directly across the street with a playground.

A very warranted FIVE STAR review!
