The Ocean View Retreat has fantastic ocean views. It is only a few steps away from the ocean and golf course. Watch and hear the crashing waves as you sit back and relax. Looking out the front window or sitting on the front porch you may see dolphins, sea otters, seals, grey whales, killer whales, pelicans, sea gulls and even deer. Our profusion of wildlife, trees and wildflowers are a few of our many treasures.
The sunset and sunrise views are spectacular against the ocean waves. Across the street are sandy beaches and tide pool areas; a great place to watch the sailboats go by and breath in the clean, fresh ocean air.
The home has breath taking ocean front views from the living room, front bedroom, dining room and kitchen. There are partial ocean views from the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms.
Nearby and just a walk or bike ride away is Asilomar Beach and Lover's Point. The walking path is right across the street. Whether a morning’s jog or a relaxing walk, this path leads you along the ocean view. Kayaks and bike rentals are close by. Point Pinos, the oldest continuously operating light house is just around the corner and within walking distance. Downtown Pacific Grove with its quaint shops and restaurants is only a short bike ride or car ride away.
If you are a golfer, you can bring your golf clubs and walk to the club house. The driving range is just around the corner if you just feel like hitting golf balls. The Monterey Peninsula has a spectacular choice of golf courses in the area.
This cozy home is approximately 1,500 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. One bedroom has a 1/2 bath. Each room has been tastefully decorated for your comfort. Comfy mattresses, soft blankets and cozy sheets help drift you off to sleep.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything to make an exquisite meal or a simple snack. Sitting at the dinning table you have views of the ocean and large backyard.
Enjoy sitting at the teak picnic table while cooking that perfect meal on the gas bar b que in the large backyard. Fun, tropical place settings especially for the outdoors, adds to the ambiance along with a large dolphin fountain and backyard. Chairs, towels, beach bags, cooler and a picnic basket make it easy to pack a lunch for your beach outings.

Why the Owner Chose Pacific Grove
Pacific Grove also known as Butterfly Town USA is a great place to relax and also go on new adventures. We love Pacific Grove because of its hometown feel and still is within close proximity to Monterey, Carmel and Pebble Beach. One of our most favorite times in Pacific Grove is during spring time when the ice plants bloom and a carpet of pink flowers the ocean's edge.
The Unique Benefits at this House
What an ocean front view! Keep a look out for whales, dolphins and seals swimming in front. We are just a few minutes away from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, Carmel and Pebble Beach. If you are a golfer, this place will delight you because you can grab your golf clubs and go just a few steps and play golf. If you love to take walks a walking path that extends from Asilomar Beach to downtown Monterey and beyond is just outside the doorway. Or perhaps you can just sit and relax and enjoy the fresh ocean breeze on the front patio.

Amazing

This house is amazing. The view is beautiful! The kitchen is completely stocked with every thing you need to prepare a meal. The house looks more amazing in person than the pictures. It is very clean and comfortable. I only wish I could have stayed longer.

If we owned a guest home, this is how we would do it

This was perfect. Everything was designed for our comfort - toys for the kids (new toys, not some discarded rejects from the '80s), great kitchen appliances, dry goods for cooking, wine and cheese for us, even a welcome letter and very informative guest book. Everything was even better than it looks in the photos. very clean house, great location, great comfort. We should probably lie and say it was awful so that no one comes here - as we want this place all to ourselves this summer. ;-) We rent often and we are always concerned about comfort and safety for our two children. Not so here. This was fantastic. The one thing - the only thing I would change - is the 10am check out. That was a bit rigid, but everything else was "aces."

As good as it looks

We had an outstanding visit; the property was all that was promised. We were in town for the Big Sur half marathon and don't know what we enjoyed more... the run or just hanging out at the house. The house is at the 5.9 mile mark on the way out and 9.9 mile mark on the way back. I cannot tell you how many envious looks we got when we took a quick break at our personal water stop. There is no better way to run the Big Sur.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Oceanview Retreat this past week for a family vacation. My husband and I and our three kids (8, 5, 3) thoroughly enjoyed the home and all that Monterey has to offer.The home is conveniently set up with three bedrooms (K, Q, 2 twins). The owner has created the perfect balance; creating a warm and comfortable environment without the feeling that you are living in another person's home. The kitchen was well stocked and even included a small table for the kids as well as children's plates, cups & silverware. Being directly across from the beach was wonderful and convenient for walking/running/biking along the ocean. The wine, cheese & fruit plate was also a welcome treat after our long card ride. Many thanks for a wonderful vacation. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic Location and Views

Our family of 4 had the chance to stay 1 1/2 weeks at this wonderful house! No one wanted to leave! The views were better than the pictures. The house was very clean, well decorated, sufficient supplies and really gave the feeling of being home. The owner was very easy to work with and went the extra effort to make us feel welcome. We stay in a house or condo just about every year and this place is our favorite so far. We will definitely try to come back in near future!

We have vacationed many times in the Monterey Bay area over recent years but this is the first time we have rented a house. The property easily met our expectations and was a perfect base for the 3 of us during the week. This is a terrific location and being able to roll out of the front door onto the ocean front is simply great. Activities included whale watching, kayaking (in the bay and at Elkhorn Slough) and hiking at Point Lobos as well as walks along the shore front. We will stay here again when we visit the area.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

House was outstanding for my family that included a 6 yr old and a 1 yr old. The owner made several accommodations to make are stay very comfortable for my entire family. Really appreciate the fact the owner provides all beach gear including toys for the kids!!!! The location was terrific for ocean views outside the front windows and within walking distance of Pacific Grove Golf Links. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking to relax and enjoy spectacular views of Monterey Bay.

Fabulous house

Review Submitted: 06/09/11
Every detail in this beautiful home was perfect - wine, flowers, cheese/grapes/crackers, comfortable beds, cozy robes, big-flat-screen TV.. my photographer sister went nuts over the breathtaking ocean views and the kids hunted for seashells & explored tidepools for hours, I was like a kid in a candystore with this fabulous well-stocked kitchen: crashing waves from the Bay on one side and a window to the backyard fountain on the other. (great stove, BTW) The big backyard was a bonus - chaise lounges, teak table for outdoor dining and a safe place for the kids to play. Thank you for making our two-family getaway a little slice of heaven.

What a wonderful weekend. We went for the Big Sur Marathon but almost decided to stay at the house instead. The home is so clean and perfectly appointed. The back yard is really big and beautiful. There is nothing like hanging out in the kitchen and living room and seeing the ocean right out your front window. The owner and home manager really take pride in this home and it shows. I am very hard to please when it comes to vacation rentals and this was top notch. I cannot wait to return.
