Nicely updated long-standing cottages less than a mile from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row shops. The two guest passes for use at the aquarium really were great! The cottages were well supplied with all one could imagine to need. Mel provided excellent communication to assure our check-in/out went smoothly. We especially enjoyed the food at a nearby restaurant, International Cuisine (on the 600 block of Lighthouse Ave). Asilomar State Beach was only minutes away and we spent time there each evening watching the sea otters frolicking in the surf as the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.
