The Monarch Home is a delight. Anne has made certain your stay is without a care; her careful touches are backed up by wee little "reminder" notes to help your stay go smoothly. A fire already placed on the hearth warmed the chilly nights over the New Year Holiday. Extra down comforters kept us cozy and the kitchen was well appointed...little extras were everywhere! It was an easy walk to the beach and right between Monterey and Carmel!
