Walk to Beach, Downtown! Spa & Private Deck Updated Historic Home @ Lovers Pt

AMAZING LOCATION! This adorable beach home is an easy walk to downtown and Lovers Point Beach and has everything you need for a relaxing and/or action packed weekend. Originally built in 1908 in the historic Pacific Grove Retreat, this home is rich in history and completely updated. Cozy, Comfortable and with all the modern conveniences. Pacific Grove STR #0084.

Walk in to an open floor plan, the living room flows to the kitchen. There is a huge gas fireplace, Smart Samsung TV with streaming apps, and soaring ceilings with skylights. Kitchen is fully stocked. Dining room opens to a private deck with an outdoor living room and a huge gas fireplace. An outdoor eating area, BBQ, hot tub and outdoor shower complete the backyard. The home has an upstairs living room loft with comfortable seating to watch the Smart Samsung TV or sit in front of another gas fireplace. Should you need a workspace we have an adjustable standing desk upstairs.

Two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor with queen beds. Master bath has a bathtub shower and the middle bedroom has a steam shower.

Rent from the owner- you'll communicate directly with me and my local house manager. I love sharing my home with people coming to enjoy Pacific Grove.

You can’t beat the location - Everything you could want or need is so close- enjoy the downtown restaurants and shops or Lover's Point beaches, Pacific Grove Golf Course. It's one mile on the beach trail to the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row Shopping in Carmel, golfing in Pebble Beach, hiking in Big Sur are an easy drive away or you can also just stay home and relax in the hot tub on the deck- read a book by a cozy fire.

The Pacific Grove Retreat is a historic neighborhood where the homes are close together. While we want you to enjoy your time, this is not a place to host a party. We observe the guest maximum (4) and work to be good neighbors by keeping the noise down. This property is monitored by a RING video doorbell and Noise aware noise sensors located inside and in the backyard. https://noiseaware.com/

Loved this first visit to Pacific Grove
House was very clean and comfortable. Appreciated the edgy post modern architecture. Even in winter the outside space , the barbecue and hot tub, were usable. We loved the big tvs and the upstairs space with its balcony. Loved the steam shower. Some small things; the light switches are a challenge, the laundry needs servicing, we couldn’t get the French Press to work and it would have been nice to have some Keurig pods for the machine ready for at least one night. We found the mattress in the front bedroom hard and low. Otherwise, it was a delight to be there and we would love to come back.

Just what we were looking for!
The property is about a 2 block walk to Lover's Point and 2 blocks to the main strip of stores in Pacific Grove, so a great location. Quiet street with many historic homes, this one is from 1906 (I think). It has been modernized with a nice soaring ceiling in the main living space, a lovely loft sitting area with a fireplace, skylights and a very functional layout! Fun backyard deck with a gas fireplace, chairs and a small hot tub perfect for 2 people. The living space also has a fireplace so lots of cozy options if you are coming during cooler weather. Lots of light with skylights and loft windows that the afternoon sun streams in through. We loved the house and would definitely come back! 2 bedrooms, one with an en suite bath and the other front bedroom has access to a bathroom with a steam shower that is on the hall. A well stocked kitchen though we didn't do much cooking. The property manager keeps on top of things and there were ample towels for hot tubbing and I noticed beach chairs and cooler as well as a rolling cart.

Perfect walk to Lovers Point
We just had the most incredible 4 nights in Pacific Grove!! We never visited the area before. This was the perfect house and the perfect location! We could walk to Lover's Point and see otters!!! We could also walk to a bunch of restaurants. It was very convenient! We loved the house! It fit our family of 4 perfectly. We especially loved the outdoor space and took advantage of the hot tub to soothe our tired muscles after a lot of hiking. Sitting outside was very peaceful. We are from the northeast so a little chill in the air doesn't stop us from sitting outside. We loved how many fireplaces the house had! So cozy!. The kitchen was great. We did "cook" one night. Really it was just reheating food but I'll count it because it was vacation. We loved the kitchen eating area, it was perfect for breakfast every morning. My boys really loved the loft area and top deck. It was pretty foggy when we visited but it was still really fun to be up there. It was so easy to hop an uber to Cannery Row and use the free trolley down in Monterey. We also went for a drive down Route 1 to Big Sur one day, it was amazing. We did the 17 mile drive too. Definitely do a kayak tour while you are visiting and see those otters up close! We have to come back, we all agreed this was the highlight of our Cali trip!

We had a lovely time at this gorgeous beach house!
We walked in with our toddler and were very happy with our choice of rental immediately!! The home is spacious and well-equipped with all we needed for a stay away from home. Everything was clean and appliances all worked. The location near so many restaurants and things to do was incredible. We appreciated the host's speed of communication and connecting us ahead of time with the on-site property manager!

This was a perfect home/location for our long weekend while my daughter and I ran the Big Sur Marathon!! The hot tub was a great bonus after all the hills!! The home is so quaint and cozy and had everything we needed! Would definitely recommend this home and will consider it for next year if we run the marathon again! Location was perfect, we were able to walk to downtown Pacific Grove and the walkway along the ocean. Parking was no problem all weekend.

Home away from home!
Our family absolutely loved staying at this rental. It truly was our home away from home. I loved star gazing from the loft upstairs and my husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub every night before bed. The kitchen was perfect for baking and cooking which we enjoy doing. The bedrooms were clean and the beds were super comfy. We had to find a last minute rental after Highway 1 collapsed near Big Sur and Margaret and Frank were kind and accommodating. Margaret even went out of her way to get a beach wagon for our 3 year old daughter. We will be back to see Big Sur and more of the Monterey area and will definitely be staying here again. I highly recommend :)
