About this property

Steps to ocean. Across the street from the Municipal Golf Course. License 0020

Located steps from Lovers Point, this cozy romantic retreat sleeps 2. Walk to the beach, town, or golf course, and be greeted by the small-town friendliness for which Pacific Grove is famous. The bike/pedestrian path follows the coastline from Pacific Grove to Fort Ord and is 75 steps from the cottage. The bike path takes you to the Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf with spectacular ocean vistas.. Excellent restaurants within walking distance.
The cottage is an easy drive to Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Monterey. A complimentary bottle of wine awaits your arrival.

Come to the exciting Pacific Ocean and watch frolicking otters, take long walks along the bike path (100 steps from our front door) for miles along the Pacific Ocean.: See sea birds swimming in the surf; monarch butterflies landing in the trees; waves breaking against a sandy beach, and seals calving at Hopkins Marine Station beach.

Leave your cares at the door. The cottage offers tranquility that will restore your spirits. We offer coffee, tea, water, and a complimentary bottle of wine to help you settle in as well as paper products and all linens and kitchen equipment.

Restaurants, shops : Everything you need to stock your cottage is within 10 minutes of the cottage. Walk 1 block to the beach-side grill with clam chowder in sour dough bowls with spectacular views of the cove and the open sea beyond. Walk 3 blocks to LIghthouse Avenue where a myriad of restaurants and cafes await you along with little shops for browsing and boutiques with stylish clothes. Enjoy a spa treatment 2 blocks away at Amara Spa or have a manicure on Lighthouse Ave. See a movie at our theater on Lighthouse Ave. Walk l mile to the Tin Cannery (outlets), the Aquarium, and Cannery Row which offer shopping, dining and exhibits.

The cottage has 7 steps from the curb to the front door and a slight, 4" rise from the sun room into the living room. The glass-enclosed, shower over tub has one grab bar. Our Pacific Grove License is 0020.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We enjoyed our stay for four nights. The location is wonderful with easy parking in front of the unit. The amenities are well thought thru. I really enjoyed seeing how the owners are updating the property, probably slowly but surely. My husband loved the front porch but struggled with the kitchen cabinets being so close to the floor. The bathroom really needs more towel bars and new towels. I can imagine staying here in warmer climate will be nice, using the rear yard as well. I love PG, all the fun shops and off the beaten path! Always a joy to visit!

We loved this place! This cottage was perfect for our stay over thanksgiving. We even pre-ordered a holiday dinner from Whole Foods and had the coziest thanksgiving dinner together. We took walks along the ocean everyday. I enjoyed sitting on the front steps and reading while watching people walk by with the their dogs. Everyone was so friendly ! We would absolutely love to book this property again in the future!

We found Jill’s cottage to be charming, cosy and romantic and communication with Jill excellent. We were able to see Lover’s Cove from a front window and took late walks along the shore most evenings. Great location that is walking distance to most areas of interest in Pacific Grove. We brought bikes and kayaks, spent a week and seldom drove unless heading out of town.
