Perfect location, beautifully updated home

We absolutely loved this place! The location could not be better. Right across the street from Lover’s Point, which made walking over with our small children so easy. We also really enjoyed taking the walking path from Lover’s Point to the aquarium and Cannery Row. The home is beautiful; everything has been updated and was very clean. The owner provided lots of information, so we did not need to contact him during our stay, but he was very accessible. Highly recommend!

Wedding day

Our niece got married this weekend in Carmel. The Cottage at Lover's Point was a perfect place to stay for two couples. My sister and brother in law join us for a great four day weekend.We found so many quick day trips to make from Monterey to Carmel and everything in between. We also had many choices nearby for restaurants.The cottage is very clean and reminded us of a step back in time with the lovely neighborhood and many things to walk to, from the library to the historical museum to lover's point and more.The owner, Jack Chestnut, was very accommodating and communicative throughout our stay.Thank you so much!Ernie & Kathy7-26-2025

AMAZING Cottage @ Lovers Point

The cottage at Lovers Point was perfect for our stay in the area. We were a family of 5 from the Midwest wanting to explore the California coast before heading to some National Parks. The cottage was centrally located, fully stocked, clean, and whimsical. The beds were comfortable, the sheets were soft and the property manager very responsive. We highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jack Chestnut

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

This home is an ideal beach house. It is literally 100 yards from the lagoon and is the closest home to Lover's point. It has views of the Monterey Bay from the living areas and both bedrooms. One can sit on the front porch, sip coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon and watch the tour buses go by.

What makes this property unique

Walk to the beach, the golf course, and downtown Pacific Grove. Take a casual one mile walk to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
