Coastal cottage with private patio - 2 minute walk to beach

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (16)
"I liked being in the privacy of the cabin. I could hear the freeway and train, so would want to be there for too long. Ok for a couple of days They said washer dryer available in the welcome book but then wouldn’t let me use it. I communicated and they only responded with a generic ai response such as “we cannot help you this is our policy” then I wanted Kate checkout after they sent an email and they said “not available. This is our policy” so I was frustrated. The place had masses of dust et...

Private Cottage near Monterey & Carmel + Patio

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (18)
"The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, including things like cooking oil and spices. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (the listing doesn’t specify this). The layout is odd—the bedrooms are tiny and the beds are really crammed in there. The bathroom is huge, probably larger than the bedrooms. The "living room" is more of a foyer and definitely not set up for any more than 2 people. The furniture and decor is kind of random, like they raided someone's grandma's...
