My partner and I have stayed at this cottage many times. It is always clean, the kitchen has all the essentials needed to cook, and it is in a perfect location to access the coastal trail and downtown.

We were delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage again! We look forward to your next stay!
Great home. Close to the beach. Parking might not be readily available in front of the home so you might have to park on another street. But no big deal. Bed is comfortable and the soap/shampoo/conditioner provided in the shower is a nice bonus. Will return for sure.

Thank you for your review, Chris! I am sorry that you had to park on a side street. We hope you return soon.
We really enjoyed our time at this lovely cottage. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and the property was exactly as described. The bed was also very comfortable.The location was great, sitting very close to an enjoyable walking trail right next to the ocean. It was also incredibly convenient to be able to walk to local restaurants for supper and do some shopping nearby. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Thank you for your review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return soon!
An absolutely beautiful home with an incredible location. Even though our stay was over Memorial Day weekend, and traffic was crazy in the area, we were almost always able to park right at the doorsteps! Perfect location for easy walking to the beach at Lovers Point, or to Lighthouse Avenue where shopping was readily available. We couldn't have found a more ideal rental and look forward to another visit soon!

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and liked Sea Foam Cottage! Do return. We'd love to have you!
Perfect place for two within walking of everything you need. We walked from the house to downtown Monterey everyday following the path. We loved having Lovers Point path basically right across the street. Will definitely be back.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and used the bike path to take you by the ocean on your way to Monterey! Please return soon!
Cute Cottage, very close to the ocean. Parking was a challenge, but location was great. It rained the whole time we were there, so our plans were cancelled or made difficult (hubby golf, wife outdoor spa). We just should have planned better around the ever-changing weather of the peninsula. Overall, a great time.

Charming historic home with super location. Walking distance to many restaurants, path along the bay. Lovely owner. Street was very quiet and peaceful. We had a lovely stay..
This is a cozy cottage that is perfect for a couple. The house is very nicely appointed. Its got a great location close to lover's point and close to many dining options. We truly enjoyed our time here and we will probably rent it again in the near future.

Thank you for your review. We love walking over to Lovers Point in the morning with our cup of coffee to watch the otters, seals, kayakers and the sun glinting on the water.
We hope you return and are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
The cottage is in such a great location to all that Pacific Grove has to offer. Being steps away from the water is just great. The cottage is just as described and is very clean, tidy, and quiet. It worked out really well for our stay & we’d definitely stay again.
Our stay at Sea Foam cottage was excellent & relaxing!! It was perfectly located and close to the ocean and golf coarse. All the rooms were very clean and the kitchen was well equipped with dishes, pots and pans. Comfortable queen bed.We loved sitting on the front porch looking out the windows to the ocean. Our walks along the ocean were so relaxing! Walks to the restaurants and shops were very close too. We definitely will be returning to this lovely cottage. The host was quick with responding to all our questions. Sincerely, Gerald and Marianne

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return!! We love the high seats in the sun room, too.
The location of this cottage is absolutely perfect a view of the ocean from the front windows, a two minute walk to lovers point, the beach, walking trails, and just a short stroll to the sweet little town of Pacific Grove. There you can find stores, restaurants, coffee, shops, all of it…

Lovely, comfortable home in the perfect location in Pacific Grove. Walk to Lovers Point or walk to the restaurants and stores. Everything is close by and easily accessible.

Staying here was wonderful, everything was just right. The cottage was very welcoming, comfy bed, great sun porch with view of the ocean. The neighborhood was quiet and charming, we loved the walkability. Jill was quick to give excellent info on the neighborhood along with restaurant recommendations. We are looking forward to staying here again.

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage. The sun room is our favorite place to look at the ocean and watch the people stroll by. We're glad you liked it, too!
Please do return. We'd love to have you.

We enjoyed our stay for four nights. The location is wonderful with easy parking in front of the unit. The amenities are well thought thru. I really enjoyed seeing how the owners are updating the property, probably slowly but surely. My husband loved the front porch but struggled with the kitchen cabinets being so close to the floor. The bathroom really needs more towel bars and new towels. I can imagine staying here in warmer climate will be nice, using the rear yard as well. I love PG, all the fun shops and off the beaten path! Always a joy to visit!

Thank you for your review. We will definitely take your review to heart.
This cottage embodies peace by the sea. So cozy with everything you need for both work and play. Wifi was strong enough to have a couple of "work from home" days while being able to sit in the enclosed front porch watching the ocean. Living space was everything someone could want. Beautiful sitting area complete with comfortable chairs and binoculars to watch the sea birds, lovely sitting room with books to curl up and read, bedroom with fluffy bed, and a well-stocked kitchen with an array of cookware. Right down the street is the bike/walking path that makes travel to places like the Aquarium and Fisherman's Warf accessible by foot if you don't want to deal with vehicle stress. As an added bonus, there was a mini photo album showing the renovations of this historical building in the late 80s/mid 90s. Loved my stay and look forward to being able to stay again!
