| Great location -- away from the maddening crowd and yet right on the ocean. I would go back in a heartbeat! Nicely furnished, very comfortable bed and cozy bedding. Loved the heated towel rack! The owners were lovely people and very helpful |

I don't want anybody contacting me about this
posting, but this place was actually as advertised,
and our host was right... forget everything, and
have some champagne by the ocean. We were very
tense when we got there, but after a day of gentle,
quiet exploring, we were laughing again finally! Of
course, the perfect weather helped a lot, and they
say these next two months are the best- warm days
and cool nights. First evening we walked to a
perfect little restaurant, and then as we got our 'sea
legs', we took a boat whale watching, and there
were even shark sightings. We biked and hiked, and
feel restored. We have to recommend this one! |

| The photos on the internet did not do this place justice. It is a quiet, beautiful setting with privacy and near many great restaurants. We were met by our hosts and given a fantastic tour of the suite. Don't hesitate to stay here - it is fabulous! |

This was just the escape we needed! Sweet was just what the Suite was- 180 degree close whitewater views, couldn't be better. We had tried to get into
one of the new hotels, and also Pebble beach, that were 4 times the price, and as luck would have it, we landed at this great place. We're so glad we
weren't in the cities of Carmel or Monterey - it was right between, and away from al the busyness. Having our own parking pad was also a nice little
plus. The walk along the ocean there was terrific, and we did take a haphazard picnic the hosts help us put together... we hadn't planned ahead much,
and they even helped with new slippers to borrow and sunhats for when the fog turned to glorious sun!
Comfy, large bedroom and living room... bubbles in the bath, all we could ask for in the kitchen, and truth is, we wanted to try all the fab surrounding
restaurants, which we did. But there's still plenty for next time, and we plan to make our escape there whenever we can.
Thanks, Alex, Bill, Karen, and Kneel! |

| Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. There are views and then there are VIEWS. Wow... I can't imagine a more hypnotic scene; 180 degrees of the Pacific Ocean. Quiet, romantic and accessible to everything on Monterey. Thank you for the wonderful welcome basket and for sharing your wonderful home. To anyone looking for a romantic getaway, look no further. |

We stayed at this amazing place... we'd been concerned it might not be as advertised, but it was way better. They need to do more and better pictures on
that website. We were so lucky to get the dates we needed. We also were concerned it wouldn't be private, but we never even laid eyes on anyone else the
whole time, and the hosts were just a phone call away when we couldn't find the iron. The Suite was large and finely done, it turns out the owners are
designers, and it shows. We didn't want to leave, and tried to figure out a way to stay, but they were booked. I travel for business a lot, and this is what
we needed. It rivals any top-notch vacation I've ever had. They say only light use of the kitchen, but it was outfitted with anything I needed, and I sure
didn't want to do a bunch of cooking with all those great restaurants near. Kudos to the owners! |

| Whether you are touring via the PCH or the Monterey/Carmel/Pebble Beach area is your destination, this wonderful place is infinitely better than crashing in a sterile hotel chain. The location can't be beat. It has all the amenities, topped off by incomparable views. We hope to visit again on our next trip West. |

Great early-spring-getaway; it was a little side trip during a Ca. visit and we wish we were closer to go again; beautiful views, gracious and unobtrusive hosts; best of all was the winding walk along the ocean heading to brunch at Roy's in Spanish Bay; good balance for us between relaxing and interesting nighttime restaurant options; loved the wine selection at Passionfish; a strong recommendation for the entire experience

without sounding too much like a breathless travel
brochure, this was a real find. an oceanside retreat
to remember and return to. there is nothing like
falling asleep to the sound of the surf and waking
to a pacific dream. the air and light is amazing and
our modern, clean and comfy suite was wonderfully
appointed. our only wish was for more days to
spend on the pacific shore relaxing and enjoying
the views. and while feeling nicely secluded,
excellent restaurants and shopping were nearby;
cannery row, pebble beach and other attractions a
short drive. alex and bill, the owners, were very
helpful and we can't thank them enough. we look
forward to our next stay. |

We just returned home to San Francisco after a
memorable stay at this Pacific Grove beach house.
The luxury cottage is positioned as close to the
breaking waves as is safe. It's so hard to pull
yourself away from the view that we had dinner
delivered one night so we could watch the sea, the
deer, the spectacle of sea birds and the sunset.
The unassuming building exterior contrasts with
the elegance of the cottage's appointments:
comfortable bed with high quality linens, Jacuzzi
tub, beautiful fireplace, wide screen television,
stylish efficiency kitchen and little extras
like free Wi-Fi and private parking. It's a 5 minute
drive to Monterey and about 12 minutes to Carmel.
An entrance to the shoreline's pedestrian walkway
is across from the property and we took both
evening and early morning walks while we were
there. The small kitchen has a refrigerator
containing basics for a continental breakfast. The
owners were very welcoming and helpful during
our stay and we can't wait to return. Our only
criticism was the lack of a reading light in the living
room, but they plan to get one.

This place is a find. It's so close to the ocean you can see and hear the whitewater from the
whole place! The suite is beautifully designed, and is actually very special, like staying in an
art gallery. The path along the ocean is right in front- we walked, we biked, picnicked on
the beach, etc. We'd forgotten to bring some stuff, and the location was nearby everything.
The accomodating hosts were there when we needed, but unobtrusive, helping us with
restaurant recommendations and directions. The ad doesn't do the place justice-
Thanks, Alex and Bill for the best vacation we've ever had!
