Great location! Walking distance to cannery row, great restaurants and Lovers Beach. Restaurant recommendation: Passion Fish in Pacific Grove. Right up the street from the rental. Very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the multiple fireplaces and hot tub. They also provided toiletries in the bathroom-toothpaste, make up remover, etc. Nice extra touches for their guests. We will definitely return and cannot recommend more highly!

Best home rental I've ever stayed at! My gf and I came for her birthday. The house has an amazing location, every possible thing you could need in the kitchen, amazing backyard and even a view of the ocean from the second floor balcony. You will not regret staying here! The host was amazing and easy to communicate with. Definitely 5 stars!!!

The home was very comfortable; incredibly clean and extremely well stocked especially in its modern kitchen. I appreciated that the host was readily accessible and responded quickly to any questions I had prior to booking and was welcoming once we arrived. The location of the home was perfect for the 3 of us (older adults) within walking distance to many restaurants and Lovers Point beach. Because of the chilly weather we did not take advantage of the lovely backyard with its seating area, sauna and hot tub. We will definitely return.

Lover's Point Retreat was a GREAT place to stay. Margaret & Frank were awesome hosts with very efficient communication and SO organized. They had suggestions for activities, restaurants, etc. The home was very clean and in a superb location. We walked everywhere and really enjoyed the back patio with a fireplace, hot tub, sauna, and grill. Pacific Grove is a delightful, quiet community and we were so close to restaurants, grocery stores, beaches, etc. After a busy day, we looked forward to going home, enjoying a glass of wine on the patio, and all the other amenities of this place. So relaxing. One night we bought fresh fish from the fish market at Monterey Fisherman's Wharf and grilled it - DELICIOUS! The BEST place to stay for a Monterey/Carmel visit. Hopefully one day we can return.

LoversPointRetreat was awesome! Everything was better than advertised. The place is exactly like the photos. We used it as a base for exploring Big Sur and highly recommend it. Pacific Grove is beautiful and offers a lot of restaurants and shops. Honestly, after hiking all day, we enjoyed using the grill, hot tub, and sauna. Margaret was very responsive and gave us some great hiking suggestions. Bottom line it was perfect and we would love to stay again.

This was a perfect stay. The home is cute, in a historical district that makes it even more interesting. The outdoor fireplace was so much fun to sit around after a long day of activities. The hot tub helped sooth some sore muscles. And the location was perfect, close to walking trails along the shore and close enough to walk to dinner at night. Communication with owner was timely and she was very helpful We Loved this stay!!!

If you’re debating between this and another house, STAY HERE!!We have never visited the area before and absolutely loved our stay here. We did not realize how truly close we would be to the beach. A 5 minute walk north to a beautiful park and trail or a 5 minute walk south to downtown with lots of food and shops. A surprisingly quiet street. We were a bit nervous about street parking only but we were always easily able to find a close spot. The house was filled with natural light and so cozy. We loved the outdoor space. My only critic would be that the shower head in the master bathroom needs replaced (weak water pressure). We opted to use the main bath shower only (the steam shower setting is amazing!).Margaret was very responsive each time we messaged. Thank you, Margaret and Frank, for a great stay!
