We had a great stay here while in town for our daughter's wedding. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to shops and restaurants, which made it especially convenient.
Great location, easy walking distance to Monterey Bay and to numerous shops and restaurants. Monterey Bay Aquarium is an easy 1-mile walk.House was clean, kitchen is very well-stocked for those who plan to cook. Location is quiet and within the house, spaces are quite.

We loved the house and the location. The house had a great layout and all the necessities. We loved the coffee bar and how easy it was to walk to neighborhood restaurants and the beach. We even got to see deer on our street.
Great location, walkable to beach, lighthouse ave and the farmers market. Clean, well stocked kitchen and room for 6 at the dining table. Perfect for our family get away
We had a wonderful stay at the Saltbox. The location was PERFECT. In a friendly street in Pacific Grove, close distance and easy walk to shops, coffee, restaurants, and beach. You can also walk to the aquarium as well. Street parking was easy, the kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean and fit our family of 5 perfectly. Would stay here again easily if ever in the area.
A lovely place to stay in Pacific Grove! We like the central location and walk everywhere in PG and Monterey. The house is very comfortable and we were pleased with everything. Great communication!
The house was great for our group of friends in town for a wedding. The location was perfect for all the Monterey tourism. We were able to walk to the coast and up to the main drag of shops for antiquing and brunch.
We enjoyed the house! Great location for walking down to the beach and trails along the coast, as well as walking up to the shops/restaurants. The house was clean and well stocked with coffee and all the kitchen items and staples you would need. Smooth check in, received a text prior so we had no issues. Thank you!
Saltbox was welcoming, very clean, and tho we needed to call the maintenance number to make the heat work,he was very responsive
As older women the stairs to the upper bedrooms were intimidating, and there was a great handrail. Beds very comfy.
We recommend a little coffee table in the living room

Quirky and charming house in just the right place for walking everywhere. Plenty of street parking. Our family of four had a lovely thanksgiving here. We will be back!
The property was charming and plenty of room for adult and two teens. Great location just off the beach and blocks from downtown. Neighborhood was quiet. Highly recommend.
We loved this house. We used to live in PG, and we wanted location, and this was perfect for us. The downstairs was spread out so we had a bedroom, office space and a nice sized bathroom area. All this was near the kitchen and living room. My daughter stayed upstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed, and lots of space for everything. Don’t expect a view, but the location was ideal. Visitors need to realize that parking is a bit of a challenge here, but we would definitely stay here again,
Great location and the home away from home for four days for five women friends meeting from three different states. The main floor bedroom and bath was perfect for accessibility needs.

Perfect for us
Saltbox was the perfect accommodation for us to explore Monterey Bay area, enjoy the coast and celebrate long-time friendships. Well appointed, comfortable and efficient for 4 and the location is perfect! We will visit again!
We loved our stay here! This was such a great house in a perfect location-central to everything in PG. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful and stress-free vacation. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Comfortable stay
Fantastic remodeled old home. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and it was in close proximity to the water. Only downside, which wasn’t a big deal, is that
parking is limited to the street.
We loved staying at Saltbox and would definitely stay here again. Very short walk to many good restaurants and short walk to the Lovers Point. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked. Photos are accurate.
