10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"Nice family trip to the beach. The condo was spacious and the primary bedroom was fantastic. The other two bedrooms were small, but were still accommodating. The property is very well maintained. There’s paths to walk on for a nature walk and the beach has some hard sand that makes long walks on the beach very easy to do. There were 6 of us that went and there was plenty of space. Great stay!"

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"The initial draw to this place was the price which had us thinking it was too good to be true. A decent price, a good looking room and the mention of free breakfast…no way. The only thing that needed to be changed was our room because of a slight noise disturbance(a tree hitting the rooftop) but the staff was accommodating and had us in a new cottage within minutes. Both rooms were very clean, roomy and had everything we needed. Location wise, this is a great spot within walking distance to the beach and less than a 10 minute drive to downtown Monterey! As if all of that is not enough already, their breakfast is impressive. There are two very friendly staff members working the breakfast dining room and knocking it out of the park! They have a buffet with eggs and potatoes and a rotating daily special, along with cold and hot cereals, coffee, bagels, fruit, toast, oatmilk and gluten free options. If you’re staying in the cottages, this meal is free of charge. You cannot beat it, highly recommend this spot!"
