We (two friends) had a wonderful stay at this sweet little house just down the street from the bay. James was just great with communication, very responsive and helpful. The layout of the house worked great for us, and the beds were comfortable (the pillows were quite large and firm, which might be ideal for others but we did wish for pillows a bit softer/flatter). The kitchen is well outfitted and the shower has a great head and plenty of hot water. Lots of towels provided. The front windows give a truly special view straight out to the bay, and one of us, an artist, worked at the table by the windows every morning. The location just can't be beat — wonderful for going right out to the recreation trail, for running, and for walking to and from restaurants. We really treasured our time here and will definitely hope to stay here again in the future!

Check-in instructions were provided well in advance and were clear and easy to understand. The home was spotless. One of the most comfortable beds that I have ever slept on. Had coffee on the front porch while looking out over the bay and watching a herd of deer walk up the street in front of the house. I am already making plans to stay there again.

Time slowed during our five day stay in PG. The house was furnished with very comfortable beds and furniture and was beautifully decorated to place you back in Pacific Grove's early days but equipped with all the modern conveniences. Lover's Point was a three minute walk, and the downtown shops and restaurants a ten minute walk. We enjoyed the back patio. Communication made our stay easy. Thanks, James!

Perfect Location

The location of this charming home is perfect. Literally steps from the coastal trail and a great view of the bay from the living/dining room. A wonderful surprise is the back garden area. A peaceful oasis. We enjoyed the antiques, especially the lamps and artwork. The home is unique and has everything you need for a getaway. So glad we chose to stay in Pacific Grove. Thank you!

cute little home so close to wonderful Pacific Grove coastal trail. Home was built in 1932 but was upgraded and offered very easy access, two nice comfortable beds, modern kitchen, laundry (which we didn't use) and a clean, fully functional bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Fron dining table was at the corner of the front room and featured ocean views out both corner windows. Furniture was all antique but comfortable. No TV in the main room, only in the back bedroom but we moved a chair from one room to the other to watch some evening programs. Home is very quiet inside and the neighborhood quiet as well. Nice but little garden spot in the back with a large fountain. Monterey Bay was a bit stormy while we were there but it made for some great photos. Owner was super easy to deal with and responded quickly to my inquiries. We parked on the street out front but there is a narrow driveway on the property that could easily fit a small compact car. We will definitely consider this home again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by james white

Host profile image
I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula and always wanted to share my amazing childhood memories with my family. Now as an adult, visiting has become so much more. This beach house is our escape from the city and connection to nature.

Why they chose this property

We love the untouched, historical nature of Pacific Grove. But truly the seaside location was key for us... We explore the tide pools looking for interesting creatures, jog along the shoreline trail and, well, everyone from this area has a least one family member who plays golf! Shopping for antiques and eating somewhere interesting are also factored into the day.
