Blue Horizons - Pacific Grove Beach House - On a Clear Day...

The view from upstairs is beautiful! The location is great! The house is very roomy and was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking and even had things like soap, foil, spices and a few staples available. The bath was well supplied also. A few things that could be improved - need darker curtains or blinds that open in master suite. Lots of car headlights shining into the bedroom. Also, the ice maker in fridge and jets in bathtub don't work, if that's important to you. Also, the cleaning fee seems excessive. Guests are asked to volunteer, but not required, to empty trash, strip beds, start dishwasher, which we don't mind at all, but not with a $299 cleaning fee. I feel like that fee could be reduced. With all of the taxes and fees, the final price was almost double the advertised price.

We loved the huge open upstairs space with unobstructed views of Monterey Bay. Kitchen worked well (needs a good grater!!). The master suite was very large and comfortable. We noted the careful instructions for all situations - very helpful. An elegant and welcoming place.

One small downside - the cleaners had used too much bleach in the downstairs bath and it took a long time for the smell to clear out.

The large upstairs living space had unobstructed views of Monterey Bay, above most of the traffic. Elegant master suite and well-appointed kitchen. Very clean.

What a beautiful home! Perfect location for downtown Pacific Grove. Kitchen is fully stocked. Living room has a view that makes you never want to leave. They even have a telescope so you can check out all the activity in the ocean!

Great library downstairs. Plenty of bathrooms. Huge garage. It was amazing for our girls weekend. The only slight downside is the kids room is not really designed for having adults in there. But with 4 of us, it was great!

The process to reserve the house went smoothly. Mostly on line, but with some phone calls. Michelle was great in answering questions and helping make the reservation. Check in was easy and they were ready for us when we arrived. Only took a minute or two. Directions in the written materials were quite good and thorough. The house itself was great and just as advertised. It was clean upon arrival and well furnished with everything we needed. Since there were only four of us and we ate meals out for the most part, we did not take full advantage of the house. But the beds were great and showers and bathrooms great. Hard to suggest any improvements. One very small suggestion would be directions for the master shower. In order to get warm water, one needs to have the control set in the middle. If you go all the way counterclockwise, it turns cold again. It took us a shower or two to figure this out. But once we did, it worked great.
