"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."
