It’s hard to find a lacking spot along the California coast, but Pebble Beach, Carmel, and Monterey are exceptionally picturesque. You’re a stone’s throw from all three at this Del Monte Forest guest house, with the added bonus of a quiet, tree-lined home base. It’s a one-bedroom, so best suited to a couple or solo traveler, with a separate living room, gas fireplace, Wi-Fi, TV, and well-equipped kitchenette (there’s a two-burner stove top, microwave, drip coffee maker, and French press). Plus, a private deck with a fire pit and hot tub, and free rein to grab fresh lemons or mint sprigs from the garden, as well as fresh eggs from the host’s chickens.
