Hipster Vibe - Pacific Grove Apartment - Walk to the Beach!
You'll love the retro vibe of this updated flat. It's "in town" (above one of the best restaurants in Pacific Grove) yet the ocean is just a few blocks away. Start your morning with coffee at Juice 'n Java, explore fun shops, restaurants and galleries... or experience the many natural wonders of the Monterey Peninsula. When it's time to kick back, spin an LP on the vintage record player before heading downstairs for great Mexican food (tequila tasting anyone?). The apartment has peeks of the ocean, a King bed, a den, and a full kitchen (no dishwasher, but with so many great restaurants you probably won't need one). Street parking and city lot (first come, first serve). We'll supply the permit (one car). Pacific Grove Transient Use License #0477

This property is in a great location, walking distance from lots of shops and restaurants in Pacific Grove. It has lots of bright natural light and is a pleasant environment for the most part. The bed was comfortable, but the living room furniture - a couch and chair - weren’t comfortable for lounging. The other drawback was the fact that it’s above a restaurant that has an outdoor seating area right below the bedroom window, and so we heard the restaurant noise most nights. This place is best for shorter stays when you plan to be out most of the time. For our weeklong stay it was not as comfortable as we’d hoped it would be for the price.

September 24/Pacific Grove
Plenty of daylight with a view of the bay. Great location. Walking distance to the beach and nearby shops and restaurants. Clean well kept accomodations with plenty of space for a couple. Would rent again without hesitation.
Big apartment in the heart of Pacific Grove. Clean and well kept.
Easy short walk to a great variety of dining and bars. Lots of fun shopping nearby. Easy beautiful 20 minute walk to Monterey Bay Aquarium. Across the street from the Natural History museum.
Nicely appointed unit with lots of room for a couple. Big windows with great light and a bit of ocean view. Full kitchen with all the tools needed for dining in.
Great location, roomy, bright, and comfortable. We look forward to returning!
Great, comfortable place in lovely Pacific Grove. Walking distance to beach and restaurants in PG, plus easy drive to Monterey. We loved our time here!
We walked to Lover’s Point, the Monterey Aquarium, San Carlos Beach to see the sea loin take over. We walked to dinner in the area each night as well. A few driving outings: hiked in Carmel, went on the rail bike tour from Handcar tours. All from the great location in Pacific Grove.
Such an amazing little space, close to literally everything Monterey Bay and Carmel. Property is super clean, great views and walking distance to the beach and main street Pacific Grove. Just a great place!
Cozy, close to everything. We happened to book during the “Good Ol Days” festival. Excellent location for this event. We walked everywhere to restaurants, our spa retreat, ocean , festival. Great weekend.
The location of this space is perfect! It’s also extremely clean and the bed very comfy. Ocean is a short walk away as are quaint restaurants. The Mexicali restaurant (Peppers) on the first level of building has great food and Margaritas! If there is anything we would change it would be the checkout time being 10 a.m. Most places have an 11:00 a.m. check out. Overall, this place is great!
We walked everywhere from this spot. It is walkable to Lovers Point Beach, restaurants, shops, and the Natural History Museum. It is probably the cleanest vacation rental I have every stayed in. It was quiet and had everything we needed. I highly recommend.
Great stay, great location! Clean-very important! Only complaint would be no heat available had to use a space heater, no way to control temperature.

Great place to stay
Really comfortable and clean. The staff was very responsive. When we had an issue with the entrance code there was someone on the phone immediately and fixed the problem immediately.
Everything was well was stocked, place was better than the pictures, lots of natural light. We will stay there again.
One thing I could say is that 11 AM is a more reasonable check out time, 10 AM is too early.
Second floor walk up perched with some ocean view over the house tops. Wonderful. Comfy bed and pillows. Kitchen ready if you choose to cook instead of walk to one the nearby restaurants. Would absolutely stay again.

Excellent apt and location
All was perfect, the only thing from making it 5 star was the heat would not turn on and it got pretty chilly at night. I bet this can be easily fixed in the future.
This was such a nice apartment with a lot of space and very nicely decorated. There is a great Mexicali restaurant right downstairs that is clearly a locals favorite. Also, just a short walk away were many good restaurants. And I enjoyed walking down to the coast and along the walk with great views of otters, seals and vistas. Really nice place that also had parking. Only a few minutes drive to the aquarium or a half hour walk.
Every amenity was perfectly described in the Virbo description as were the pictures. Very clean and welcoming. We were able to walk to Cannery Row (about 2 miles but a nice walking path along the coast made it pleasant). We rented e-bikes near by and rode the 17-mile drive around pebble beach golf course and stopping to take in the coast scenery along the way. Shops and restaurants were literally steps away. The Mexican restaurant below the condo has great Margaritas! Of course there is noise associated with being above the restaurant and so close to activities but they are tolerable and not constant. We would definitely come back again!
