A Perfect Stay in California

This was the perfect get away from a Mn arctic blast in January. Sarah was responsive and helpful with every question we had and Mark was gracious in orienting us to the property and cottage upon our arrival. The cottage was small, comfortable and cozy which was perfect for our needs and the view was beautiful. The location was nice with easy access to Point Lobos and other trails. We truly enjoyed our stay at this property and would love to visit again.

It was so peaceful there. It felt very homey and the view was amazing. I think I sat there for hours watching the waves. The girls loved exploring the trails and beach looking for treasures. They even chose that over other adventures. It was agreat stay and I was sad to go.
