Perfect location, charming cottage

We had a perfect visit to Pacific Grove at this Victorian cottage. Great beds, an amazingly well supplied kitchen, and a cozy fireplace! Such a joy to sit on the front porch and walk to breakfast and then stroll along the ocean.

Excellent!

Nina’s house was excellent! A few blocks from Lover’s Point and just off Lighthouse Ave, the location could not be better. The property was very clean and well-stocked with extra blankets, fans, books, kids books and plenty of kitchen supplies. The host even left me some GU gummies as she knew I was in town for a run! Only downside was that the rooms do not have vents in them so they got rather cold at night when the doors were closed. Once we left the doors open and added layers, we were very comfortable at night. We will definitely be staying again!

Location!

Superb location within minutes to Lovers Pointe, Monterey or Carmel. Property was clean and cozy. The pictures do not do it justice. Perfect for a small family or group of friends to enjoy. Host was friendly and helpful- gave us local recommendations to a bonfire and other local activities.

Great cute cottage to stay in Monterey

This cottage was an amazing place for our stay. It’s close to the major attractions of Pacific Grove and the neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. The host Nina was amazing since the beginning and she was making sure that everything was great before and while we were staying there. I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

Wonderful Week in PG

This house was the perfect spot for exploring Monterey and PG. We enjoyed walking to the Farmer’s Market, the Natural History Museum, and the beach at Lover’s Point. There is a park just out the back door and the aquarium, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the Pt Pinos Lighthouse are all short bike ride away. The house had everything we needed and was well maintained.

Perfect location in PG

We had a great stay! The owners were easy to get ahold of and the location is wonderful! We enjoyed our daily walks to Lover's Point and along the recreation trail and visiting restaurants and stores along Lighthouse. We had extended family staying in the area and they were able to comfortably meet and visit in the house. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the Monterey, PG area!

Perfect Location for a Stay in Monterey

The property was just as described, a charming Victorian cottage. Everything was clean and well organized. The cottage was perfectly located. It is out of the crowds of Cannery Row yet a short walk to the Monterey Bay Aquarium or downtown Pacific Grove. I would definitely recommend visiting.

Just what we were looking for

This place was perfect for my wife and two little ones (kids). Despite how old the property is (part of the charm), the property is well kept and the property owners/managers are quick to reply if anything is needed. There is a great community park for the kids to play at right behind the house too. We will be returning to stay here again!

Pacific Grove in mid May

Charming little vintage home close enough to the Aquarium and coast to walk (barely over a mile to those places). Nice access to cute downtown too. Only one bathroom and less kitchen gadgets than bigger, newer homes, but we didn’t use kitchen much. We liked the Tiffany lamps, City park behind the home, and feeling of timelessness.

Beautiful visit to Pacific Grove

My son and I had a wonderful time visiting Pacific Grove and this was the perfect spot for us! Just a couple of blocks up from Lovers Point, the access to the waterfront was amazing, and it is also situated a block away from The Red House Cafe (my favorite breakfast place in the area) and downtown Pacific Grove. The home was clean, private, and well-equipped. The home was surprisingly larger than I expected, and the amenities were great - wifi, good heat, nice high ceilings. I love staying in the old Victorian, although admittedly the sink i the bathroom was a little short and small but that suited my son and I just perfectly! We had great communication with the owners and the neighbors were friendly and looking out for us. All in all a terrific stay! We would definitely go back!

Cozy stay for mother-daughter trip

My 85yo mom and I took a trip together as we have been doing every 5 years or so for decades. We chose Monterey for sentimental and aesthetic reasons: we lived here when I was a young kid. This historic cottage was a great location because it was close to the coastal path and Lovers Point which allowed me to go out on foot for early morning exploring while she enjoyed quiet since she isn't as mobile. The house itself was easy to access and had all the space we needed for individual privacy and sitting together for meals and planning our days. House was perfect for two but could have accommodated up to six. Parking in front of house was easy. The bedrooms had plenty of space, good storage and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. It was a nice touch that a welcome note, milk and bottle of wine with chilled glasses were waiting in the fridge. This is an old house and the bathroom / kitchen reflect that but it was as expected. Plenty of towels and everything functional. Small microwave but works fine. No dishwasher but no biggie. Table space was good for two; probably would feel crowded with 4. Good pantry storage for groceries. We didn't use the little garden out back or the living room much but saw deer in the park behind the house twice. The manager left us a small cooler at our request which was handy for days out. Good communication (always important). We love Pacific Grove and had a great trip.
