I just spent a week in this wonderfully inviting
cottage. It is beautifully renovated, comfortable,
pretty, and filled with afternoon sun. There's a very
small front porch which is perfect for early morning
coffee. Quiet street, close to everything.
Communication with Mark always received a quick,
friendly response. Highly recommended! |

| We stayed in the cottage for one lovely week (last week of January). The location was perfect. A lovely stroll to the Aquarium past Lover's Point and a beach full of seals. Just a hop skip and a jump to Carmel, Big Sur etc. We also loved just wandering around Pacific Grove looking at the other cottages. Our favourite restaurant was the Red House which was just around the corner. The cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs. We traveled with our 18 month old daughter. Lots of room in the master bedroom for a pack and play leaving us to enjoy a movie and a glass of wine after she went to bed. The washer/dryer/dishwasher were much appreciated. The play park around the corner was great. |

| What a wonderful little cottage! Our week in Pacific Grove was so comfortable and quiet staying in this adorable cottage. It was so convenient to shopping, restaurants and the ocean. We loved the historic charm of the cottage and Pacific Grove. Thanks, Mark!! |

Our family enjoyed a lovely vacation at this rental home. It was clean and generally kid-friendly for our 3 children: 8, 6, & 3. We loved the fact that it was located just a couple blocks from the beach an easy & short walk.
The owner was very prompt with his responses to any questions and/or needs via email. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Monterey/Pacific Grove! |

| We spent 4 blissful nights in this delightful Victorian beach cottage. Pacific Grove is blessed with many such historic properties, and this one was beautifully renovated and very comfortable. The town is an excellent alternative to Monterey, being quieter and less "touristy". PG also has some great restaurants (don't miss eating at Passionfish, one of the best on the coast). Thank you, Mark, for sharing your little bit of heaven!! |

| Hi Mark, I felt like I had come home to visit the folks. Everything was comfortable and conveniently located. What can I say, coming from a busy city to a place like Pacific Grove is so nice and relaxing. Thanks for making my visit a memorable one. Frances, Los Angeles |

The cottage is great very central to downtown
Pacific Grove. We stayed 3 nights with our 18-
month-old. Not only is the cottage walking
distance from Lover's Point, it's also about two
short blocks from a great little playground. We ate
in two nights but our last night there, a relative who
lives in the area came and babysat so we could
enjoy an adult meal at Passionfish. The meal was
suberb, highly recommended. I definitely
recommend this cottage especially if you have a
small child. |

| Although small, the cottage has all the essentials for a comfortable vacation. The kitchen in particular was quite spacious and useful for a family of four. Also, the location can't be beat! |

The cottage was perfect for us. We like to walk to as many attractions as possible, and were able to walk to the Aquarium, Cannery Row and to downtown Pacific Grove.

| We stayed in the cottage over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a great time. It was cozy, warm, and inviting. Everything worked perfectly. If we come to Pacific Grove again, we'll try to stay there again. |

| We had a lovely stay for a week in Mark's cottage. The location was great - just a few block walk to the beach or restaraunts. Lovely neighborhood (and a cute playground just around the corner for restless kids). Furnishings were comfortable - nice to have satelite TV and DVD player. Definitely recommend! |

| We stayed 2 nights with our children, ages 2 and 5, and had a lovely time. The cottage was clean, comfortable and functional (we really utilized the wireless connection plus the washer & dryer!) and the location is unbeatable. There's a great park & playground within very short walking distance that my daughters really enjoyed. A great experience all-around, from making the arrangements with ease (thank you, Mark!) to the relaxing stay itself. Highly recommend! |

| I'm hesitant to leave positive comments for fear of this cottage becoming too popular! Quiet neighborhood, comfortable furnishings, and great location make this a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel. Have breakfast at Toasties and margaritas at Pepper's, both nearby. Yum! |

| This was the perfect cottage for my son (age 13) and me. It was an easy drive from San Jose and once we arrived we walked everywhere -- to the beach, the aquarium and to several great restaurants. We hope to return soon. |

Dear Mark,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.Your Pacific Grove cottage is very cozy and comfortable. It was great to be so close to a playground, Lover's Point Beach and about a 20 minute walk to the Aquarium along the bike/walking trail.
We also enjoyed the proximity to local cafes and restaurants. Our five-year old son said that he was going to "miss our little house". We will definetly consider renting your cottage again on our next trip to the Monterey area.

| Our family spent three nights in this charming Pacific Grove home. Communications with the owner prior to the trip were always professional, and included timely reponses to our questions. The house itself had rustic, historic charm from the outside; the inside was modern and had everything one needs to ensure a comfortable stay. What we appreciated most was the location. We were within walking or biking distance to nearly everything we wanted to see, which was wonderful. We were all delighted to have found such a perfect get-away home and will, most certainly, put it on top of the list of options when we come this way down the road. |

We had a wonderful time staying in your cute little cottage. I loved the location being so close to everything and walking everywhere. We were very comfortable. It was a little cooler than I expected and the big down comforters were a treat. I will recommend your cottage to anyone I know that is planning a visit there. Thanks for everything.

| It's a lovely cottage with everything needed for a small family. Pacific Grove downtown with a lot of coffee/breakfast/dinner places is a 5-minute walk away. It takes 20-30 minutes to walk to Monterey Bay Aquarium. The part we liked the most was the walking/bike track which starts at Lover's point (5-minute walk from the cottage), and goes right by the ocean, all the way to the aquarium and beyond (to the town of Seaside?). This track is excellent for an early morning or post-dinner walk/jog, especially in summer. |
