Thank you for kind review. I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay.
We had a lovely stay at Jack’s cottage. The house is beautifully appointed and the location is perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our trip to Pacific Grove. We would definitely return!
The cottage was really clean and that is important. It was across the street from Lovers Point and an amazing scenic walking trail. Coffee shops and restaurants around almost every corner.
We have loved our stay! The location could not be more perfect with ocean views and an easy walk to the restaurants and shopping. The house has been beautifully updated and the owner has been a delight!
We loved our stay in this cozy cottage with ocean views and a wonderful ocean walking trail. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable, providing a good nights sleep.
