Keywords: Perfect for family gatherings or for a relaxing retreat
On a private half-acre backing onto a nature trail, our spacious remodeled retreat is a short walk to Asilomar beach, the most beautiful beach on the Monterey Peninsula. The great room has soaring ceilings, a spacious dining area, a kitchen bar and couches looking on to the gardens. The cozy living room has a wood-burning fireplace and couch with a fold out bed. The four bedrooms all have French doors opening onto the grounds. This retreat also has a game room, with an air hockey table, a computer, and a library about area attractions. This home’s lounging spaces and chef’s kitchen will tempt you to hibernate. Yet we also provide a 30-page guide with our insights about the best walks, the best local restaurants, and fun things to do when you venture out.
Walk a few blocks from the retreat to the Asilomar State Park and beach entrance. From there, you may stroll the beach and miles of coastal paths. We are walking distance to the beginning of 17-mile drive, one of the most scenic drives in the world and to the Monarch Sanctuary, where thousands of monarch butterflies winter after their migration from Canada. Downtown Pacific Grove, with its quaint shops and excellent restaurants, is a 6-minute car ride away. Nearby Lovers Point offers a protected sandy beach, great for kids, swimming, and snorkeling. And downtown Carmel is only 15 minutes away.
Our home is private, light, and lovingly cared for. It is a perfect place for you to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and explore the Monterey Peninsula.

So Much Fun!

We all had so much fun! We loved the beach and walking the coastal trails. The aquarium was great – thanks for the passes. And what a wonderful retreat home - after the hustle and bustle of the city, your home provided a much needed oasis. Loved using the spacious cooking area to grill fresh fish from the pier!

We loved it here! The aqaurim was amazing! The Taste (across from Trader Joes) is a resterant you should recomend. Its really fun to have house dinners and deserts like Spaghetti Night and B-Day Cake Night. I beat quite a few people in air hockey. We went to the Pebble Beach Car Show and saw a lot of dogs and cars. We had a lot of fun playing on the rocks at Point Lobos. We loved it here! MG (10 years old)

A wonderful family reuion in this house in Pacici Grove! What made it even more amazing is this house had belonged to my grand parents in the 1940's until the late 1960's. And I didn't know it until I found out what street it was on, and my sister recognized the fireplace in the photo. Wow! We arrived with my parents,both in their late 80's(it had been my father's parents home)We spent a wonderful week there with my parents and my two sister's.The house looked much different but it was great. The sun was shining every morning. We ate our meals out on the nice back patio. It had all the amenities and more. A nice walk to Asilomar and Pico beach( our favorite as kids) The property was clean and inviting, relaxed and comfortable. It is a memory we will treasure always! We look forward to our next visit! Also, the owner was a delight! thank you thank you!

Fabulous House

We had a wonderful weekend at the Asilomar Ocean Retreat. The house is cute, comfortable and clean with a charming light-filled kitchen/great room. Bedrooms are on two sides of the house, so the floorplan is perfect for two families. The cozy family room with TV and rhe game room made it ideal for kids, but it would also be a great place for a girls-weekend etc. The ocean is in walking distance and downtown is a quick drive. I highly recommend this house!

This was the perfect house for our family. I can't say enough the owner was easy to work with and the house was clean and roomy. Great location to activities, walks, beaches. The basketball net and aquarium tickets were a plus with everyone!

We spent nearly a week at this wonderful spot and we all agree that we're more at home here than the week we spent in LaJolla, the week in Laguna, and the week on Hawaii. The house is relaxed, convenient, thoroughly appointed, yet laid back and private. All the furniture is beachworthy, not frou-frou. Absolutely no worries. Our dog was welcomed here too, and that made our time a true family experience. Monterey and Carmel are places you'll want to spend a week every year. We used the aquarium passes three times! We'll be back. This owner is perhaps the most easygoing we've encountered. In all ways, all stars! Asilomar truly is a refuge.

We enjoyed this house tremendously. Kitchen/family rooms are at the center of the house with the bedrooms split off on each side. Great yard, enjoyed deer visiting in the yard occasionally. Beautiful location and a pleasure dealing with the owner.
