This place is a hidden gem and we’re so glad we found it. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a 2 bedroom one bathroom cottage and it had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, and the cottage had plenty of room for our family of 4. The beds were so comfortable and I had a good night sleep every night as did everyone else. Office staff were so kind and helpful. The whole experience with our stay was perfect from the second we arrived to our check out. We loved the property amenities and location. My kids especially loved the complimentary snacks in the office. Staying there we were minutes to downtown pacific grove, cannery row, 17 mile drive, Carmel, and right across the street from a wonderful mellow beach. We couldn’t have asked for more and would not hesitate to recommended this place to anyone. We can’t wait to return.

We appreciated their accommodation of our late arrival, providing us with a key easily accessible despite the rainstorm. Exploring this new location was a delightful experience, as it felt like being in a welcoming community. The rooms and the rustic ambiance of the place, coupled with the sound of the river echoing through the darkness of the night, created a unique atmosphere. Sitting outside on our two lounge chairs by our room, listening to the river and the rain while the wind intermittently made the tree branches sway, was truly enjoyable. This secluded spot is perfect for peaceful getaways and special occasions, offering a cozy and intimate setting.

We liked the location of the property. Only about 3 blocks from the ocean (to the left) and a block away from the stores, shops, bakeries, etc, (to the right). Modern shower & bathroom. Bed comfortable. Pool area looked quaint, but too cold this time of year to enjoy (or for it to be open). Breakfast area in the morning had pastries, bagels, cereal, juice, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee & hot tea.

I had the best time and will definitely be back!

I had the best time and will definitely be back! As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe as I was visiting beaches, walking the streets downtown, hiking the state parks, etc. It was a clean and beautiful city with so much to do! If you have the opportunity - you MUST do a whale watching tour! I did the morning 4 hour tour through Monterey Bay Whale Watch and it was incredible! The only thing I did that felt like a bit of a waste was the aquarium - it is promoted heavily around town and I'm not sure if it's just because I've been to so many other better aquariums, but it felt overpriced and extremely small.

Carmel by the sea is a lovely town full of restaurants and shopping places. The characteristic of Carmel is that at night time there are no street lights, lights comes from the restaurants and the stores open till late. It is a very charming town , must see it. The beach close by is beautiful and it was 20 minutes walking from our hotel

We have many favorites in the Pacific Grove area.

We have many favorites in the Pacific Grove area. We love the ocean, beaches, sea life, tidepooling, sunsets, restaurants, the aquarium and point lobos. Point Lobos needs to re examine the entrance process and parking. The rangers were not accomodating and a little rude as we arrived at the station. Unfortunately, we were unable to enter any of the days we visited, even with an early arrival. This has always been a highlight when we visit, we were quite disappointed.

Marina is a beautiful little town just north of Monterey.

Marina is a beautiful little town just north of Monterey. With CSUMB right there, there are a number of stores and restaurants typical of a college town. Monterey is just a short drive away but Marina is quiet without the hustle and crowds. Daddy's City Diner is a great place to start your day with a hearty breakfast! Stop by Baker's Bacon for some fresh, tasty bacon, sausage and cheese. Take some candied bacon with you for a wonderful snack.

Everything you need for a Roadside Hotel.

Everything you need for a Roadside Hotel. Outside and property was well maintained, clean and landscaped. Room was well appointed and for the most part really clean. I very much appreciate a laminate floor vs. carpet that you know is never clean. Had a a nice sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, ice machine. Area has grocery stores and restaurants in the area that you can walk to. (Just avoid the Mexican place across the street, unless you want some stomach upset! Trust me you'll thank me!) Again, was everything you needed and will book again for my Concours stay next year! Thank you!

Don't miss Big Sur! A truly beautiful spot.

Don't miss Big Sur! A truly beautiful spot. A highlight for us was the hike around Lobos Point where the wildlife is abundant and the scenery breathtaking. Eating out was pricey but we stayed at Big Sur campground and cabins where we able to cater for ourselves. During April the roads were reasonably quiet, making the drive along the coast super easy.

Carmel Valley is a little gem.

Carmel Valley is a little gem. Most people visiting Northern CA only get as far as Napa or Santa Cruz but they're really missing out. The wineries and restaurants in Carmel Valley rival Napa. Point Lobos on the way to Big Sur is a spectacular park hugging the cliffs. Nepenthe in Big Sur is not only historic but has a fantastic view of the coast. And of course there is Esalen in Big Sur. Make the effort and visit.

There was blood on the front door, the room was not clean.

There was blood on the front door, the room was not clean. The mirror was broken and the window was missing the screens. I brought two cars and the person at the front desk said I needed to park one of my cars at the business next door and said don’t worry about their private parking signs in the business next door parking lot. It was so gross in the bathroom, there was black hair all over the shower and bathroom floor and the bed blankets smelled so bad you can tell they have not been washed in months. I will never recommend that place to anyone. And I was over charged- I paid 400$/ night and the next day when I left their website said 78$ per night. It was embarrassing.
