About this property

Steps to ocean. Across the street from the Municipal Golf Course. License 0020

Located steps from Lovers Point, this cozy romantic retreat sleeps 2. Walk to the beach, town, or golf course, and be greeted by the small-town friendliness for which Pacific Grove is famous. The bike/pedestrian path follows the coastline from Pacific Grove to Fort Ord and is 75 steps from the cottage. The bike path takes you to the Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf with spectacular ocean vistas.. Excellent restaurants within walking distance.
The cottage is an easy drive to Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Monterey. A complimentary bottle of wine awaits your arrival.

Come to the exciting Pacific Ocean and watch frolicking otters, take long walks along the bike path (100 steps from our front door) for miles along the Pacific Ocean.: See sea birds swimming in the surf; monarch butterflies landing in the trees; waves breaking against a sandy beach, and seals calving at Hopkins Marine Station beach.

Leave your cares at the door. The cottage offers tranquility that will restore your spirits. We offer coffee, tea, water, and a complimentary bottle of wine to help you settle in as well as paper products and all linens and kitchen equipment.

Restaurants, shops : Everything you need to stock your cottage is within 10 minutes of the cottage. Walk 1 block to the beach-side grill with clam chowder in sour dough bowls with spectacular views of the cove and the open sea beyond. Walk 3 blocks to LIghthouse Avenue where a myriad of restaurants and cafes await you along with little shops for browsing and boutiques with stylish clothes. Enjoy a spa treatment 2 blocks away at Amara Spa or have a manicure on Lighthouse Ave. See a movie at our theater on Lighthouse Ave. Walk l mile to the Tin Cannery (outlets), the Aquarium, and Cannery Row which offer shopping, dining and exhibits.

The cottage has 7 steps from the curb to the front door and a slight, 4" rise from the sun room into the living room. The glass-enclosed, shower over tub has one grab bar. Our Pacific Grove License is 0020.

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

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!

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!
