The place was charming and the host was attentive!
We loved our stay in this sweet little cottage. We felt welcome from the beginning when the place had a bottle of wine and Faris checked in to make sure we got in okay and see if we had any other needs. I’d definitely stay here again!

It was just what we were looking for. A cozy, quiet, little cottage close to Monterey and Pebble Beach. Location was super convenient, right off the main highway. Yet it still felt like it was in the middle of the forest. Beautiful elevated deck overlooking trees. Wifi and tv were fine. No real issues with our stay.

Beautiful neighborhood!
This stay was overall amazing and very enjoyable. It is a perfect place if you will be gone most of the day! Everything was tidy and clean, everything we needed was already there. The only confusing part was getting into the door. The code was given to us but I wasn't sure how to operate the device on the door.

It’s Ok
Communication was not great with owner. Asked a few questions and only got short non answers. Ants were a problem. Cleanliness of couch as stated in other reviews was a concern. It’s comfy but filthy. There was a funky smell from furnace, we added essential oils to help. Location was good. No outside front pics posted and there is a reason. Size of unit was great for 2 people and kitchen was well equipped with basics.

Cute Cottage
The cottage is cute and cozy. But it’s hot. It’s difficult to stay in the property between the hours of 12-4p. It was 80degrees outside. I would open the front door once the sun came out and it helped alot. As well as closing the curtains and blinds when I was out. The couch did not look dirty, maybe it got replaced? And the bath was draining well. Ant invasion sometimes in the bathroom, I think they liked my toothpaste but it wasn’t bad. Location is great, very close to everything. Ironing board is ancient and took me a while to figure out ;) but I was grateful that they had one. Iron is better than my own! Kitchen had everything I needed. There is a dog that barks alot but mostly when it hears someone walk by. But its still alot. And there are neighbors that live below the property. They weren’t too loud but I did wake up to screaming kids in their bedroom below at 7am on a Sunday. Bring ear plugs. Parking is great as it’s directly outside the property so easy to carry things in/out. I’d say the bed is medium firmness. The deck is fab and so many different birds to listen to. Communication wise; I had asked Faris a question about the property and then I was told to cancel my booking- which I didn’t. I thought that was off. He was nicer in his follow up communication. However, I was not given his number to communicate directly (a first for me as I’ve stayed in a lot of places) which I think is important should there be any emergencies. Other than that, it was great.

Nice but need some TLC!
Property in need of care from front steps board loose and a tripping hazard to outdoor deck mat, pillows and turf needing replacing. Interior was fine but a mini-split w/b great for pm heat.

Cottage tucked in the trees
Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean which is very important to us. The only thing I would mention is the driveway is steep and if you have a large vehicle you’d have to be very careful. We have a high profile vehicle and extra long and we did it but had to carefully maneuver around other vehicles. Besides that everything was wonderful and the host was reachable if needed.id stay there again without question.

Liked: Check-in, communication
DISAPPOINTED
Check-in was ok - just used the passcode for the door. No towels in bathroom I think the bed in the bedroom was possibly a double bed..or maybe a small queen Location was ok but thought it was much CLOSER to Carmel Plaza - You CANNOT walk to Carmel - The last thing & why did not stay was the thermostat was 85 degrees. And no A/C. I cannot sleep at night with that temp.
