My husband and I just returned from our six day stay at this property in Pacific Grove and had an outstanding time. This quaint, very clean rental is perfect for two people with an ideal location for easy access to the walking/biking trail, restaurants, and grocery store. We barely moved our car since we walked everywhere; but when we did, having a parking space in the driveway was a HUGE plus. No need to search for a parking space on the street. The only problem was not booking additional days because we didn't want to leave. The host, Linda, is also a joy to work with and provided excellent communication before and during our stay. I'm already looking at dates to book for next year.

Fabulous location, memorable vacation!

We had a wonderful stay in Pacific Grove! Property owners were easy to communicate with, and the property was exactly as expected. We were close to the beach, Cannery Row, beautiful golf courses, many excellent restaurants, and had easy access to CA 1 and the 17 Mile Drive. This location is perfect, the hosts were great, and our trip was memorable!

Perfect Vacation in Pacific Grove

What a wonderful place to stay when visiting the Monterey area. The home is 1 block from the Lover's Point and 1 block to the quaint quiet Pacific Grove downtown area. The bed was so comfortable, place was clean and had everything we needed for our 11 nights there. Loved to sit outside and enjoy the neighbourhood.
