Very pleased with the overall stay. Room was spacious and the amenities (microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, iron) were included.

I stayed in a cottage with a kitchen and two bedrooms, plus a pull out bed. It was not fancy, but worked great for 3 friends. The January price was a bargain. We loved the Carmel beach nearby and we even had someone there playing bagpipes the first night.
