You can’t beat the location of this wonderful Pacific Grove Cottage! This cute vacation cottage is the guest house to an 1890’s Victorian in the heart of Pacific Grove –near town and beach! Located on a peaceful, Cypress and Oak tree-lined neighborhood yet steps away from all the activity. The relaxing private guest house attracts Monarch butterflies daily. Enjoy the sunny garden patio and fish pond by day and fire pit and BBQ grill by night. This safe location is secluded, and peaceful for your entire family's enjoyment. Although there is not a complete kitchen, the cottage includes a kitchenette with a microwave, a medium sized fridge, a coffee maker and a sink. We also provide complimentary wine, beer, soda, coffee, tea and fruit. Plates, utensils and cups are also included.
The bright and quiet guest house is ideally located so that you can park your car at the cottage and enjoy walks to downtown restaurants and shops (three blocks), Lover's Point, Asilomar Beach, the Monarch Butterfly Grove, Point Pinos Lighthouse, George Washington Park, paved Recreation Trail, Pacific Grove Golf Links and other sites are all just a couple blocks away. Cannery Row, World-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and international Outlet Center are just over a mile away and still walkable.

This lovely little cottage was the perfect base for my and my two young sons' trip to Monterey and the Central Coast. We loved being so close to the beach and enjoyed getting to know this part of the country. The description of the cottage in the listing was quite accurate - the perfect secluded stay right in the middle of everything.
Owner response:Amy, thank you for taking the time to post a review! We are so happy you and your boys enjoyed being so close to the beach. It's great you appreciated the seclusion of our cottage while being so close to everything such as downtown, parks, restaurants, the lighthouse, and museums. Steve and Julie

Thank you, Julie and Steve for making my visit to Pacific Grove so pleasant and successful.Your guest cottage was furnished very thoughtfully with all my needs covered--plush bedding and beds. The cottage was clean and very neat, many books and information about the Pacific Grove and Monterey area. Enjoyed the smoothing sound of water in the Koi Pond with the turtles. Best of all was the location close enough to walk to Lover Point and to restaurants and shops downtown Pacific Grove. The photos and description were accurate and I would recommend this lovely cottage to my friends.
Owner response: Agnes, It was so nice to meet you during your visit. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review on our cottage! We so appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to let others know about your stay in our cottage. Thank you for all the great things you said about our amenities, pond and location. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and visit to the area. We hope next time you will be able to bring your husband too! Take care, Julie and Steve

Your "Butterfly Cottage" was perfect for our family of four. It had everthing we needed during our spring break vacation. We loved the music when we arrived and the collection of books and movies! We've strolled through town, hung out at Lovers Point, enjoyed Thai food and visited Monterey Harbor. Today we're planning to visit Point Pinos Lighthousee before heading home to San Jose. We'll keep you in mind for future visits to this beautful area! We loved the turtles!

Your 2 bedroom cottage has been a perfect base for our family reunion. Some of us went whale watching! two of us enjoyed tasting wines at Monterey Winemakers' Celebration. Dinner at Rocky Point was a treat. We enjoyed breakfast in the cottage thanks to the mini kitchen. We had a great time - would come here again!
