It was wonderful for a family reunion trip. Safe and cozy neighborhood right by the beach, and it was amazing location to travel to Big Sur, Carmel, etc. Very clean and nicely ready house which provided everything in need for a family of 9. Thank you for hosting us!

Great place to stay

The house was so comfy and nice. Had all the little things you would need. It was a block away from the ocean walk. And you can see the water from the upstairs window. We were visited by some friendly deer in the mornings. Such a great experience, would love to stay there again.

Great location. Short walk to the beach. Beds were comfortable. We would visit the area again.I think it was an oversight, but there were not enough towels and washrags for the four of us for the first night after a very long day of travel. They did wind up, bringing them after a while. We appreciated that.

This house exceeded expectations- and they were high! The location can’t be beat for families. A block from the ocean in a spot where the kids could climb rocks and explore tide pools. The house itself is much nicer than in photos. The king bedroom had ocean views and you could fall asleep to the sound of the surf. The front yard was beautifully landscaped and had a picnic table where we ate all our breakfasts again with ocean views. Just a fantastic stay.

Overall, absolutely fantastic location. House was well stocked with kitchen basics and living spaces were comfortable. Only drawbacks are quick fixes by property managers: bed sheets were heavily scented from fabric softener and one set of sheets had an annoying hole at the foot of the bed. But the worst - and very easily fixable- was the smoke detectors. One went off while we were there and we took it down with no replacement batteries available. Found a couple other smoke detectors in a drawer. All in the house were expired, so we’d recommend replacing ASAP.

Myself and 4 girfriends had a very good time at Birdies, Beaches, and Butterflies, in PG. We even had a BBQed dinner at the large outside dinning table one night. The location of the house was wonderful. We played golf at the PG Golf Course, just up the road, went on a tour of the lighthouse, which was in walking distance of the house, and had several walks alongs the shoreline, which was also within a 1/2 block of the house. Keep in mind that the 4th bedroom if great for young people as it has a bunkbed (double on the bottom) and a single pullout loveseat. We worked around it just fine. Enjoy!!The Traveling Gals

Great location and well appointed

We really enjoyed our stay! The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, baking dishes, and even some basic cooking ingredients. The children were thrilled with their room and the whole house was immaculate. We would definitely book again if it was available.

Beautiful Pacific Grove

This is a wonderful property in Pacific Grove, CA. It is great for a family or larger group. Home is very comfortable. Great back yard with grill, fire pit, picnic table and seating. It's two blocks from the ocean and a hiking path. Our younger grandson went tidepooling every day. Also within walking distance of the Pacific Grove Golf Links, a fun course that is very affordable. My older grandson and I enjoyed that. Great vacation accommodation.

Great location and lovely place to spend time.

We were down with family for the Big Sur Marathon. The home fit 6 of us very comfortably (4 adults and 2 kids) and would have been fine with the 2 more adults that were expected to come but could not make it. The kids loved running around in the backyard and we enjoyed an evening around the fire pit. The location is great with the ocean just a few steps away and getting into Monterrey in just a few minutes. Will definitely look to see if this house is available again on our next visit!
