The Lighthouse Cottage was perfect. The location, size and decor were perfect for a Pacific Grove/Monterey experience. Easy walk to dinner in downtown Pacific Grove (the Red Cabin Cafe was great), along the coast to a picnic lunch at Lover's Point and down to the Aquarium, Mirror Maze and too many candy stores. The owners took a great deal of care in perfecting every quaint detail - my girls loved it.

The cottage has everything; plenty of room (although the bathroom is a little squeezed), a comfortable bed, quiet neighborhood (even though Lighthouse is a "main" road - there is barely any traffic on it), a frig & full, albeit small, kitchen with a few items thoughtfully stocked (most importantly, some coffee!), a code locked door (that you can personalize to your own code), a great outdoor space (currently construction/remodeling going on upstairs and outside - but within maybe 2 months they'll finish up) for morning coffee & reading or evening fire pit. TV had tons of channels to calm the kids. The towels are big and thirsty, the de-humidifier kept the cottage dry (places along the coast are frequently musty), the cutlery & dishes have a quality feel to them. In general, we felt pampered.

Met the owners who are doing much of the remodeling/renovation work themselves - wonderfully kind. The cottage's karma comes from them and their passion for their family project of renewing what was probably a funky old barn.

Highly recommend the Little Lighthouse Cottage.
