    I stayed at Mel's place during the month of January and used only the Main Cottage. The property is located in a very peaceful residential neighborhood, roughly a 15-minute walk from downtown Pacific Grove. I never heard street noise, or sounds from neighboring properties. It was blissfully quiet. The property is fenced in, and completely private, with a large outdoor patio that includes outdoor seating and dining space. The Main Cottage is very much on the the cozy side. It's a relatively small space that is equipped with everything one might need: a functional kitchen, laundry, internet, and cable TV with access to Netflix & Amazon. The kitchen includes apartment sized electric stove and refrigerator, which were both big enough for my needs. There is a small table in the kitchen that seats one person comfortably, 2 people would be a tight squeeze. There's a larger table folded up in the living area, but not a lot of space to open it up. There are no actual closets in the cottage, but a small armoire, clothing rack, and plenty of strategically placed hooks are provided. The main heating source is a wall heater, which is noisy. An electric fireplace, and space heater are also available. Mel had the space heater delivered during my stay and it seems to be the best way to heat the cottage, no noise at all and fairly effective at heating both the living area and bedroom. There's also a dehumidifier that needs to be run each day. That can be noisy too, and I found the best solution was to run it while I was out. Mel was a welcoming and gracious host, allowing me to check-in early. There were even fresh flowers when I arrived. Mel was almost always quick to reply to any messages, and I was grateful that the heater was delivered during my stay.

    We really enjoyed the outdoor space for dining and visiting with family. We traveled with our adult daughter and son-in-law law, so the separate dwellings and bathrooms was much appreciated. Also appreciated the heaters for chilly evenings/mornings as well. Looking forward to a return visit.

    Great, private place close to Cannery Row and the beach. We had such a special time, and it was perfect for 4 adults and one 3 year old. The courtyard was perfect. Hope to stay again someday!

    Clean, neat, user-friendly, private, cozy, and with great beds. Owner was amazingly helpful and made it easy, even with a last minute early check-in. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay...except for a garlic press 😇 My teen had his own space to hang out and we played foosball & chess while it rained. Cannot wait to stay again!

    Loved staying at the cottages with my husband and two kids - 15 and 13. At first, I was dubious about two separate buildings, but the location was great and we went for it. And when I walked under the trellised gate entrance, my concerns were immediately put at ease. The garden is so inviting - a covered outdoor table, fire pit, separate bbq area, the flowers, the amazing king palms created a really special vibe. The cottages were fabulous-the kids LOVED having their own space, and my husband and I enjoyed the privacy (especially from the inevitable sibling bickering that close quarters on vacation bring). Mel is a wonderful host! Easily available for questions at any time. The kitchen is well appointed and easy to negotiate, the pictures don't do it justice IMHO. The washer and dryer are huge - no worries there. Beds were comfy and there are more board games, Jenga, dominoes than you ever knew existed! Then the surprise of the passes for the Acquarium - which was great, because my husband and I could go over two days, not bore the kids with one long day. Seriously, I felt like I was staying a home of a good friend, not a rental.

    we had a wonderful stay here. The Cottages were well equipped with everything we needed. We loved how close it was to town so we could walk. These cottages would be great for families. Loved the gas fire in the courtyard, nice touch. Mel was great as well. I was well informed and got an immediate response when I needed something.
