This cute little cottage was the perfect stay for our vacation . Close to the Carmel by the sea and a short distance from Monterey as well. The host had quick communication and checked in to make sure we had everything we need. The place was clean and the patio deck was a great plus . You can enjoy breakfast on the deck and listen to nature . Definitely would stay here again .
