  • August 4, 2009 We had a relaxing week at the cottage. The fresh flowers in each room were a nice touch. We listened to the XM radio the entire time we were there. We loved the spa and the down comforters made the beds extra cozy. The efficient kitchen was really fun to cook in. We just parked the car and walked or rode the bicycles to the local sights. Carl was very helpful with tips for dining and local activities. We will definitely be back!!!

  • We visited the Monterey Peninsula for the Naval Postgraduate graduation ceremony and stayed in this Victorian cottage, which provided a perfect vacation for our family of four. The historic Monterey Bay home is located a block from Lover’s Point and the Monterey Bay Rec Trail, which is great for walking or biking. It is also a block from downtown Pacific Grove, which has a variety of fabulous restaurants. The owner provided two free passes to the Aquarium, which my little girls loved. The home has been beautifully restored for modern living and the thoughtful details in the interior design and furnishings make this a very warm and comfortable place to stay. The plasma tv, whole house XM sound system, art/photography on the walls, antique furnishings, comfortable beds, luxurious bathroom with spa, and the modern kitchen made our stay completely relaxing. We wish we could have stayed longer and can’t wait to visit again.

  • We just got back from a wonderful getaway. This home is definitely worth staying at. It felt very warm and cozy and we felt right at home. Also, you step right outside the door and you are at the beautiful Lover's Point Beach which is literally less than half a block away. You don't even need a car as there are many restaurants, shops and sights all within a walking distance. The owner also provided bikes free of charge which we used to ride along a picturesque bike path which goes along the ocean in either direction from the home. We will definitely come back to this lovely cottage and recommend it very highly!

  • We've come to realize that the places that have provided our very best stays were those homes, cabins, hotels or B&B's that have paid most attention to detail, that contained the most surprising touches, and were well cared for. Carl, this turned out to be one of our very favorite stays because of the great thought and care that went into putting this charming place together. The XM radio was on constantly (Jazz in the mornings, Classical at night); the and shower, so beautiful to look at, became a regular morning and evening ritual. The warmed floors, the kitchen faucet, the colorful bathtub light all contributed to make our three day stay seem woefully short. We love the area - the otters, Willy's Barbecue, the walks along the shore, and the shops on Lighthouse. You've created the perfect place for contemplation, a game of scrabble, taking naps, and, not the least of which, being with someone you love. Greg & Dale

  • This lovely and quaint restored victorian cottage is a perfect getaway destination and is ideally located in downtown Pacific Grove on a quiet side street; it is only 3 short blocks to downtown restaurants and a block from Lover's Point beach. Amenities are well described by the owner and all are top-notch; perfect efficiency kitchen, fabulous home-wide sound system with XM radio, back patio with BBQ and dining table and very nice front porch. We have 2 children and enjoyed having everything so close by, including the Aquarium, restaurants, beach, shopping... We recommend this house highly and will return as it is the perfect getaway and base for exploring the Monterey peninsula.

  • The cottage is filled with wonderful surprises throughout. We stayed here for a weekend and it was absolutely perfect. 2 bedrooms & 1 bath, plus a great front porch and back patio area. Wood floors throughout and many upgrades such as whole house music system, and a great whirlpool bathtub overlooking the garden. The cottage is just a few blocks from the beach, and we walked to Monterey Bay Aquarium, which the owner included free passes for. The cottage is ideally located as a great base for spending the day at the beach, or walking to Cannery Row in Monterey, and close to all the great restaurants of Carmel. Plus the owner is super nice & accomodating, there was a cute little welcome basket with chocolates waiting for us, as well as bikes if we wanted them, and a bbq. It was perfect, I highly recommend it!
    
    Homeowner Response:

  • The Victorian cottage at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove was such a pleasant surprise. The owner took meticulous care in making it comfortable and charming. The historic home has been redone in an eclectic combination of old and new. While preserving it's antique charm, the owner incorporated comforts like European fixtures and appliances, a Japanese spa tub for two, heated stone floors, an exceptional sound system along with luxurios matresses and bed linens. I felt pampered and spoiled. The location of the property is perfect. Just a two minute walk to the very scenic and romantic Lovers Point, and a quick easy drive to many points of interest in Pebble Beach, Monterey and Carmel. The surrounding community includes all historic Vitorian houses. It's like stepping into a picture postcard. It's peaceful and quiet. Parks, restaurants, and shopping are all within walking distance. If you like seafood, the fishmarkets at the wharf are nearby. We cooked in several nights, and had everything we needed. You're gonna love it!!! We sure did.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you Mark and Debbie. The neighbors miss you being here!
