A Quiet Retreat

For a couple who wants to beat the heat of Sacramento for a few days, the Fountain Avenue apartment can’t be beat. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and well stocked property but best of all was the fantastic location a block from Lover’s Point. My only suggestion is that a new couch is in order for the living room.

Awesome experience here! Close to everything—Pacific Grove is a great little town for walking, dining, and shopping and this apartment allows walking to everything. It’s right next to the bayfront walkway, which has spectacular water views. The apartment itself is extremely spacious with a large bathroom and full kitchen equipped with all we needed for our stay. The bed was very comfortable and there was a lot of closet space. Some sound from tenants above walking at times but other than that, perfectly quiet and in a lovely neighborhood. A couple of minutes by car to all Monterey attractions as well. We would absolutely stay again!

I'm sorry the couch wasn't comfortable during your stay. Since your visit, we've replaced it with a brand-new sofa to provide a much more comfortable experience for future guests. Thank you for staying with us, and I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to enjoy the updated furnishings.

Wonderful location and great small vacation home for two, very clean & the bed was so comfortable! Unfortunately the sofa described as well as pictured in the listing has been replaced with the a loveseat that we were unable to sit in, it sits mere inches off the ground with no padding, really awful. The host contact never responded to texts or phone messages, finally able to contact property manager after hours who sent someone to install risers to lift the sofa up a few inches…. We made do, and other that that it was a really nice place!

Very good property to stay! 1/2 block from the ocean trail and about 3 blocks from downtown. Loads of shops and restaurants to peruse. About a mile walk along the ocean trail to the aquarium and Cannery Row. Fully stocked kitchen of pots, pans etc.if you wanted to cook. Only downside was very inexpensive/very uncomfortable furniture in living room. Would stay again if they upgraded the couch.

Great location, perfect bungalow getaway

Nestled just steps from Lover’s Point Beach and the scenic Coastal Recreational Trail, this charming 1-bedroom, 1‑bath flat offers a refreshingly cozy getaway in a beautifully restored Victorian. This walk-to-the-beach or to-town retreat sleeps two comfortably and is ideal for couples looking for a quaint coastal escape. Clean and comfy. We have used Monterey Rentals many times and will again.

Kitchen had minimal supplies. The biggest problem was that the sofa was terrible, very low to the ground, no cushions and not the white leather couch pictured on the website. We had to use pillows to sit on the couch. We contacted the host with no response. Also, the washer/dryer was smelly and required change to operate. Great location, just needs imporvement with furnishings.

I'm glad you enjoyed the home's great location, and I appreciate your comments regarding the furnishings and kitchen supplies. Since your stay, we've replaced the sofa with a new, much more comfortable one and have fully restocked the kitchen amenities to better equip future guests. The laundry facilities are shared coin-operated machines for the building. I'm also sorry if you weren't able to reach me during your stay. If I'm unavailable by cell phone, our 24-hour guest assistance line is always available to help with any questions or issues and can dispatch assistance whenever needed.
