  • Thanks so much for having us. What a cute and comfortable place to stay!!! My sister-in-law and I were in P.C. for a wedding and it was the BEST alternative to a hotel. We stayed for 2 nights and the Gull Cottage had all the conveniences of home!! I loved all the plants and surrounding yard. For those of you who enjoy a good walk, it's centrally located and you can easily walk to the beach or Cannery Row (the walk back will be the challenge as it's mostly uphill). There a few good restaurants and cafes within walking distance too. Can't wait to make a return visit.

  • Gull Cottage was charming, and I loved it. Peaceful, beautiful, with character, it was a perfect hideaway. I would recommend this spot and would stay here again!

  • Gull house was a perfect weekend retreat for me and my girlfriend. The house was cozy, with great areas to sit, chat and lounge in the kitchen and on the outside patio. Location is great, a nice walk down to Cannery row, with an easy cab ride back. The aquarium tix were a great bonus! we may not have otherwise gone, and we were both happy we did!

  • : We had a lovely stay in this very quaint cottage! It is close to everything including some excellent restaurants. We were glad to enjoy breakfast at "home" and then dine out for the rest of the day. Carol was great about everything and we were glad to meet her and her family before our stay. We did a whale watching tour, saw about a million sea lions and seals, even got to see several otters. We did get to the aquarium...take advantage of the free passes. If we do make it back to Monterey, this is definitely where we will stay.

  • My Fiance and I had a lovely time at the cottage. It was such a great location. I can't believe how close it is to Cannery Row without feeling like it. Truly, the place had all the amenities one would need for a mini visit. We do look forward to coming back soon!!! Above all, I believe the owners really have a lot of pride and love for Gull Cottage so that makes it worth the stay!

  • What a cute and funky (charming funky) little cottage! Very Quiet in a charming garden setting. Great location: easy to get to, just off one of the main thoroughfares, 5 minutes from the aquarium. A very pleasant place to stay for a romantic get-away. Check out the Fishwife restaurant: excellent gourmet food in a congenial family restaurant with very below-market prices.

  • What a FABULOUS find! My two sisters and I rented this cottage for a birthday get-away and we were more than pleased with all the amenities, atmosphere and hospitality of the hosts, who happened to be in town that weekend. The distance to sightseeing places, the great amenities such as coffees, teas, creamers, and such were amazing. I want to bring my family of four back here for sure!

  • My newlywed wife and I spent the first part of our honeymoon here in December - and Gull Cottage was wonderful. It has an intimate and cosy feeling - and despite the fact that it's right in Monterey, feels quite private and secluded. The fireplace was much appreciated, as was the bathtub with the bubble jets. I would heartily recommend Gull Cottage to anyone hoping to enjoy the charms of Monterey by day, but spend a few romantic evenings in.

    What a wonderful place you two have created here at Gull Cottage- The charm of the old and yet all the conveniences to make it comfortable. We came to bike/race/tour at the Sea Otter Classic and were so excited to get back to the charm and calmness of the cottage each evening. It was fantastic to have such great restaurants in the fairly close distance from this little cottage. We loved Fifi's and Vito's Old Italien which we ate at twice. And if you care to prepare some thing at the cottage - Safeway and Trader Joes are available in a reasonable driving distance. We will be back!

  • The Gull Cottage was cozy, quaint, and the perfect place to start our 5-day trip along the CA coast! We loved it. Great recommendations from friendly locals included: Passion Fish, FishWife, and Peppers. Also highly rec. renting bikes from Spanish Bay just inside 17-mile drive and biking it. The coffee, snacks, and Aquarium tix were added bonuses. We highly recommend Gull Cottage!!
