The Unique Benefits at this House
Asilomar is the best of both worlds, with the forest in the front yard and the ocean behind you. We are a 1-1/2 block walk to the beach, tidepools....and the magnificent Monterey Coastal trail -- which stretches for miles from Spanish Bay to Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf. If you like to bike, feel free to use one of ours - there are 5. Our property is over 1/2 an acre, a real private retreat. The house has been completely redone inside, and has all new furnishings and a country farmhouse feel. A few blocks down the road is the Pt. Pinos Lighthouse and golf course. Downtown Pacific Grove, with all its quaint restaurants and shops, is a two minute drive away - a nice walk too. Watch the sunset, bbq, go out, stay in. And end your night in front of the fireplace, watching the latest Academy Award dvds.
Owner's Map of Pacific Grove
We are a family of writers from Los Angeles. Pacific Grove is our favorite place on the planet. On vacation a few summers ago, we took a walk and found ourselves in the backyard of the most beautiful property for sale. We went temporarily insane and somehow ended up buying it. Then came the renovations. And now...well, we can no longer afford to stay there. And so, here we are in L.A. at our computer, hoping that you are enjoying Pacific Grove - take a walk for us, ok?

An enchanted getaway

Review Submitted: 01/10/12
My family and I stayed at this beautiful home over Christmas 2011 and what a wonderful experience. The home is modern and very clean while being warm and cozy at the same time. The kitchen was perfect to cook a big Christmas dinner in, just like my kitchen at home. Tippy and Neil (The owners) were a phone call away and always prompt and helpful for any questions that came up. The home is in the perfect location, very very private yet completely accessible and within a moments walking distance to beach and restaurants. I woke up every morning and strolled to the beach then took a 5 mile run on the bike path down the coast past some of the most amazing scenery in the world. I cannot wait to go back. The central coast of California blows any other part of California away in my opinion for natural beauty and old CA charm. If you are looking for the romantic Steinbeck California, well look no further. This home fulfills.

A really lovely holiday home

We had a wonderful week here. The house is very well kept, clean and well equipped throughout. We loved its location - a short walk to the beach and easy access to the whole peninsula, Big Sur, Carmel Valley, Ventana. We were lucky with the weather and coming from England loved the hummingbirds in the garden and sea otters in the surf. The owners were very helpful, prompt and a pleasure to do business with. We would like to return one day and have no hesitation in recommending the house to others looking for a comfortable holiday home in the area.

Great Family Vacation

Our family totally enjoyed staying at this Asilomar cottage! The location was fabulous, just a block from the beach and the wooden walkways of the Asilomar retreat. Yet, a much better set-up for a family with young children than staying in a hotel room. We visited with 2 young children (4yo and 2yo), who really enjoyed the house and location. (Oh, and the dancing and singing on the Hairspray DVD!) So easy to get to the Monterey Aquarium from the house, and the local Trader Joe's store made quick family dinners easy. We will be staying again in the future!

We had a wonderful time - the location was perfect for us - practically on the dunes and within 2 blocks from the beach and beach trails, an easy walk to the Asilomar Conference Center, near to Pebble Beach and Carmel, and just a short drive to Monterey. The property was very clean, nicely furnished, and well maintained. The owners were eager to please and very attentive. We will stay here again, without question.

We just spent 3 nights with our four teenagers in this spacious and lovely home. The house is very open and comfortable. There was an additional queen-sized air mattress and sleeping bag, if needed. We walked and biked to the beach area and enjoyed the surf and scenery. Nature at its best---lots of sand dunes and deer. My husband and son golfed the local course and pretended it was Pebble Beach!! The town has many shops and restaurants. Close to Monterey and Carmel. The owners are a delight! . We also encountered the fog and temperatures to be a bit cool. We definitely recommend staying here.

US Open Getaway

Spent the US Open week at the house and it was great. The accomodations were great for a guys week for playing and watching golf. The owners were very helpful and accomodating. The flat screen TV was perfect and with the DVR we could go to the US Open and tape it and watch what we missed. The kitchen was a nice size and the BBQ was perfect for cooking steaks. This place is just right for a weekend getaway or a week stay for a couple, a family or just friends.

Great place. The house is beautiful inside, with a very spacious living room and two good bedrooms, as well as recently refurbished bathrooms. The boys particularly enjoyed the stock of DVDs. The situation is quiet and seasidey, and the garden is large with plenty of places to sit out. There were bikes (elderly but working) in the garage which made it easy to get to Monterey and to the aquarium (it took us, a family of four, about fifteen minutes downhill; a little longer on the way home). The owners were exceptionally helpful and responsive. The only downside was the fog which tended to hang over the coast while we were there, but no-one can be blamed for that! I'd happily recommend it to a friend, and the description is entirely accurate. It's a great way to enjoy all that's on offer in Monterey from a slightly less urban surrounding.

Our family is in love with this house. Just spent an amazing week there and hated to leave. The decor is beautiful and the grounds can't be beat. There are 5 bikes which we rode everywhere. Deer roamed through the yard as we watched the sunset every night. A dream vacation - we will be back for sure.

We stayed 3 nights at this lovely home. It was a fantastic experience for all of us. Our young children loved romping around in and exploring the expansive varied yard. We loved the quiet location close to the beach. The owners were wonderful to deal with, the house was lovely and we appreciated the wifi, free long distance calling and the comfortable layout of the house. We will stay here again. Highly recommended!
