About this property

Walk to Beach, Downtown! Spa & Private Deck Updated Historic Home @ Lovers Pt

Escape to "The Retreat," a beautifully updated historic beach cottage in the heart of Pacific Grove, offering an AMAZING LOCATION that puts you steps from everything! Originally built in 1908 within the charming Pacific Grove Retreat, this home blends rich history with every modern convenience for a cozy, comfortable, and unforgettable getaway. Pacific Grove STR #0084.

Step inside to an inviting open floor plan where the living room seamlessly flows into the fully stocked kitchen. Relax by the huge gas fireplace, enjoy your favorite shows on the Smart Samsung TV with streaming apps, and take in the abundant natural light from the soaring ceilings and skylights. The dining room opens directly to a private deck, creating an incredible indoor-outdoor living experience. Here, you'll find an outdoor living room with another huge gas fireplace, an outdoor eating area, BBQ, and for ultimate relaxation, a hot tub and outdoor shower.

Upstairs, a spacious living room loft provides additional comfortable seating, another Smart Samsung TV, and a third gas fireplace. Need to catch up on some work? An adjustable standing desk is also available.

The home features two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor, each with a queen bed. The master bathroom offers a bathtub shower, while the second bathroom boasts a luxurious steam shower.

You'll rent directly from the owner, ensuring personalized communication with me and my local house manager. I love sharing my home with guests eager to experience all that Pacific Grove has to offer.

You simply can't beat this location! Everything you desire is within easy reach: stroll to downtown for charming restaurants and shops, or head to Lovers Point Beach for sun and sea. The Pacific Grove Golf Course is nearby, and the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row are just a mile away on the scenic beach trail. Day trips to Carmel for shopping, Pebble Beach for golfing, or Big Sur for breathtaking hikes are all easy drives. Or, simply stay in and unwind in the hot tub, read a book by a cozy fire, and truly relax.

Please note: The Pacific Grove Retreat is a historic, close-knit neighborhood. While we want you to fully enjoy your stay, this property is not suitable for parties. We strictly observe the guest maximum of 4 and strive to be good neighbors by maintaining a peaceful environment. For your safety and to ensure a comfortable stay for all, this property is monitored by a RING video doorbell and Noiseaware noise sensors located inside and in the backyard (https://noiseaware.com/).

The host was very welcoming and texted us prior to check on our arrival time. Very quick to answer a quick question about the backyard lights. Very clean and comfortable with fantastic amenities and coffee making supplies. We loved the upstairs loft. It’s a spectacular location with everything you would ever want right out the front door.

The home was beautiful and in a great historic quiet neighborhood close to walk to the beach and nearby shops and restaurants. Home was clean, well stocked if you wanted to cook, and we also appreciated having coffee beans, pods, and cream and sugar. We slept in comfortable beds with greatest Temperpedic pillows in the world. Host and home manager were responsive. We really enjoyed our retreat and look forward to returning.

Great location, fun place to stay for families, very kind and responsive host. There were some things that needed repair, but it was overall a lovely and well-appointed home. We enjoyed the backyard amenities, our boys loved the loft living room, and we walked or biked to most things for the duration of our stay.

Great house for our family of 4 with a toddler and infant. The location was perfect, right in town, walking distance to food, groceries, shops, the beach, and we even walked along the beach trail to the aquarium! Would definitely stay again!

My daughter was attending a soccer camp at Stevenson School, and in the meantime we stayed at this wonderful, cute house. It is a perfect place to stay. It is walking distance to Lovers' Point, Mondays Farmers Market, the Monterey Aquarium, Fisherman Wharf, a lot of restaurants, and all the beautiful trails around. You can rent an e-bike and explore the town. Besides that, it is a very comfortable, cute, place to stay. PLUS it has washer and dryer, which it is super convenient when going on vacation.
