This is a great location.

The host was very easy going, and extremely hospitable. The house was very clean, and well stocked with supplies. It is close to a mission, so you will see homeless people. If that bothers you, so be it. But I felt very safe. It’s walking distance to several restaurants, and shopping. Happy New Year!

Rennsport Reunion Weekend

My son & I needed a place to stay during Porsche's Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca. We wanted to be close to downtown since we were already driving to/from Monterey each day. This location did not disappoint. The owners restaurant recommendations were great. After walking all day at the track the hot tub did not disappoint and the beds were super comfy. We'll definitely stay here again when the opportunity presents itself.

Great location, excellent hosts, beautiful property

My family & I enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very cute & clean on the inside. It would have been nice had the outdoor patio been swept up in order to enjoy it more. Very walkable to downtown and boardwalk. There is a daycare nearby and we were awoken each morning by children yelling and playing. Not terrible, but not as peaceful as we would have liked. Overall we had a nice stay, hosts were responsive and we had welcome snacks, which our kids were thrilled with. We thought it had three beds, but the third room had more of a couch. In the description would have been helpful had the bedrooms not been labeled “bedroom 2 & bedroom 4” as this was a bit confusing.
