Anniversary trip
The view alone is worth staying here. We had both back doors open any time we were there. The layout is perfect for enjoying the sound of the waves and the view of the sunset. The house is also perfectly located for being able to do day trips to San Francisco or Big Sur. If you are looking for a place to stay that is cozy and has amazing views you found it.

Cozy cottage
Fabulous location! The cottage was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Lots of nearby trails to hike, and a lovely patio to enjoy the sunset over Point Lobos. Despite being right on the beach, it still felt secluded and peaceful. We hope to come back again soon!

Hard to beat
There are very few beach side properties to rent in the area. We scouted this place out the previous year and booked it straight away. Great location and pretty easy access to anywhere on the peninsula. Great views of Point Lobos etc. and loved the history associated directly to the founder.

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.
