This house was a great location for exploring near Monterey for a long weekend! The Monterey Bay Aquarium, redwoods at Big Sur and Pfeiffer State Park, and the CA-1 coastal drive were all within easy access. We kayaked on Elkhorn Slough (just 15 minutes away) and saw lots of sea otters, harbor seals, and pelicans. Convenient grocery store and shops were nearby and some really good restaurants. The house was exactly as described - very clean, nicely decorated, and really comfortable! The backyard space was beautiful and a wonderful spot to enjoy the amazing weather of the area. We had a little trouble with the front door lock when we arrived, but the owner was very responsive and helped get it resolved right away. I definitely plan to stay here again. We had 4 adults on this trip, but it would be great for families, too. In short, it was wonderful!
