Summary: This property is magical. I love it here. This is my second visit and I am reluctant to give it the fabulous review it deserves as it might make it harder for me to book again. I will definately be back!!!!

Summary: My experience at the Sea Otter Cottage was pure bliss. We immediately felt comfortable- The cottage was clean and cozy. I'm an over packer who brings items "just in case", and they had everything you could need. The kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were really comfortable. Now to the outside.... WOW! The Sea Otter Cottage has a fenced in patio which was awesome to have with 2 dogs. The shared yard space was out of this world with multiple benches and seating areas to take in the breathtaking view. I've never felt more relaxed then sitting outside with a glass of wine taking it all in. The morning walks on the beach with the pups were priceless. There is no other rental property out there like the Cottages at Monastery Beach- You can't go wrong with staying at any one of the cottages on this beautiful property. I can't recommend enough, and I hope to be back again in the future!

Summary: Perfect location for us. I love dining and shopping in the downtown, but not staying in the downtown. Very private, very quiet, very peaceful, and close to everything worth being close to. The only downside is the beach, which absolutely destroyed my feet, but a breathtaking view no doubt. I wish I could've stayed for a month!

Summary: This makes the fourth time hubby and I have stayed at one of these historic cottages. Each one is a jewel, each in its own unique way. This time we were in the Sea Otter, which is our preferred cottage since it is just the 2 of us.The views and access to the beach are unparalleled. And the cottage itself is very comfortable and well appointed with all the necessities plus more. Other than the initial grocery shopping trip at the large market only about 1.5 miles away, and Psalm Sunday mass at the Carmel mission (less than 5 minutes drive away), we stayed in and enjoyed the blissfully intoxicating sounds of waves and birds, watching as the weather and beach providing an everchanging scenery.The walk just behind and to the side of the cottages provides an amazingly beautiful stroll about the beach. You can go for 20-30 minutes (each way) up to a cross, and opt for a higher level hike at some points if you wish. The mission is visible near the end of it.We shall continue coming back as long as we are able. Thank you to the family for allowing others to enjoy the beauty and history of your cottages! :)

Summary: The Sea Otter cottage offers a peaceful, secluded spot where you are surrounded by nature. Beautiful sunsets are breathtaking and observed from the cottage, the patio or the beach. Steps away is access to costal trails yet it is conveniently located to attractions, dining and shopping. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked.A wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Thank you for sharing this special historic place!

Summary: The ocean, shoreline and cottage were wonderful. We sat outside and talked for hours and listened to the ocean. We had everything we needed in the cottage and then some. Would willingly return again.
