May 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Cottage Oasis! 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! ##### Ashley M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randy B.

We loved the private patio with our own path down to the beach. The views are breathtaking! It was the perfect vacation for us. Definitely will book again. ##### Cherry M.

Oct 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredibly Special Property My husband and I have been fortunate to spend 3 anniversaries on this property- 2019 in the Whaler's, 2021 in the Abalone, and this year in the Sea Otter Cottage. We LOVE all 3 of them. This location is so amazing- incredible views of the beach, ocean and Point Lobos. All 3 are very well equipped, maintained and cleaned. The Whaler is obviously better suited to larger groups, due to its size. The Whaler and Abalone have more unobstructed ocean views from the large windows, however, the Sea Otter has the benefit of more privacy/seclusion since it is tucked back in a bit. We preferred this location, as it also comes with more direct, private beach access. We would stay here every year if we could. If you are lucky enough to be able to find any of these open during your dates of travel, book it! You will not be disappointed. ##### Mary T.

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.

Jul 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect beachside getaway Everything we might need was available in Sea Otter Cottage, including beach and trail walks right out the gate! We ate out, we stayed in, we walked, we went to Point Lobos for longer hiking. It didn't even matter that the cool California coastal fog was a frequent companion - it is summer after all! Thank you for sharing your perfect beachside getaway with your guests. ##### Lynn P.

It was convenient to places we visited and the views were beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped and nicely laid out. The couch is very comfortable. I gave it four stars because the smaller bathroom is so tiny that it is hard to use the toilet and its door does not lock or even latch. Also, the hall rugs are loose and I tripped a few times on them. ##### Ruth M.
