About this property

A Tiny House - Pacific Grove House - Small is Beautiful

Hankering to know what "the tiny house" movement is all about? Here’s your chance: this petite retreat has everything you need for a great vacation in “America’s last hometown.”
The location is ideal: Pacific Grove’s charming downtown is just a short stroll away: cafes, restaurants, bistros, galleries, boutiques, antique shops, and a cinema.
Lover’s Point and the Beach House Restaurant are only a few blocks in the other direction, as is the Coastal recreational trail (Cannery Row and the Monterey Aquarium are just over a mile away).
This cheery, compact cottage has one bedroom and a bath with a shower. There’s a small patio out back with a dining table, four chairs, a bench and a barbecue.
Street and driveway parking (small car only). Pacific Grove Transient Use License #275

Cozy, comfy

Perfect space for just us two. Great location, bed is comfy, kitchen well equipped for prepping meals in and quiet surroundings. Monterey Rentals has always been responsive to any needs. After years of visiting Monterey Bay, we have learned to stay a full week arriving Sunday, exiting Saturday avoiding heavy traffic both ways. We’ve found our nest for many return visits.

Anniversary getaway!

The tiny house was perfect for our anniversary getaway! The place had everything we needed and the location is perfect for walking down to Lovers Point and beach areas and up to Pacific Grove where there are plenty of great restaurants and shops to enjoy!

Very pleasant stay at this tiny house.Ideal location in Pacific Grove for walking to the shore, shops, restaurants and the Grove Market grocery store.Very quiet street. Tiny house nicely appointed with comfortable sitting area, well-equipped kitchen and nice bedroom. The bathroom is a bit small but certainly functional. We would definitely stay here again.

Very late review but our stay in December was perfect. Plenty of street parking outside of the parking space provided. Short walk from iconic Monterey views. Highly recommend for couples looking to get away from the Bay Area.

The Tiny house is in a sweet location - 5 minutes walk from Pacific Grove's central commercial area on Lighthouse Avenue, and 5 minutes walk the other way to Lover's Point. Wow! Passionfish, Toasties, Sergeant Pepper's Ice Cream, Winston's, The Red House, Bookworks... This was the perfect get-away spot for my wife and me. Hoping to return soon. Thank you!

Small property, enough for 2 people. The property looks old with old switches etc. The carpet needs replacing, it's looking old and tired. Had many marks on it.

Lovely little place in great location

The house is comfortable and the location excellent, right near lover's point, walk to town, the aquarium, the beach.Everything you need is provided. Despite it being near the most popular beach in the area, it is very quite on the street.

A Tiny House in Pacific Grove served us well, though I had to laugh at the kitchen cabinets. They were hung higher than usual. My 5'4" self could barely get things on the second shelf never mind the top! Surely not a reason to avoid this cozy home. The scent of jasmine perfuming the air was wonderful on the back fence. The outdoor grill was clean and ready for our use and was appreciated. If I return to Pacific Grove, I would definitely consider booking here again.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cozy atmosphere, fragrant jasmine, and the clean outdoor grill. I'm happy to hear the home was a great fit for your visit and that you'd consider staying with us again. Your comments about the kitchen cabinets made me smile! The home's compact design does make use of the available space, but I appreciate the feedback and understand that the upper shelves can be a stretch for some guests.
