Anybody have any ideas of a cool place to stay that would be relatively inexpensive and still available? <br /><br /> The rents were thinking about something like a small house or a villa somewhere. There will be seven adults and a two-year old. We could also do something like two 2-bedroom units. Any ideas would be really appreciated, I have no idea where to start looking. Thanks! post:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.18013 Tue, 26 Apr 2005 12:12:58 -0800 billysumday Monterey Carmel Santa Cruz vacation http://ask.metafilter.com/18013/Weekend-trip-in-Monterey-or-Santa-Cruz#299741 There are lots of places along the lines of the ones you describe, but my wife and I have stayed at (and liked) <a href="http://www.andrilcottages.com">Andril cottages</a>. They are within easy walking distance of Asilomar State beach, and about 5 minutes drive from the Aquarium and Monterey itself. They have some bigger cottages that would suit your needs, but they do seem to get booked up pretty early... comment:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.18013-299741 Tue, 26 Apr 2005 12:58:50 -0800 baggers
