Nestled in a peaceful upscale area, this tastefully renovated cottage of three bedrooms and two and a half baths comfortably accommodates up to six guests, making it an ideal choice for reconnecting families and friends.

This cozy, cheerful yellow house trimmed in white has a classic feel with a curving stone path that leads to the side yard and the tiled entry that opens to the comfortable living room. The interior has the original hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings throughout. Family and friends can gather for visiting in the comfortable living room with its red-brick fireplace and cushy sofas. The dining room seats six has access through the French door to the outside deck.

Cooking will be a pleasure in the bright, fully equipped kitchen with its functional layout, with Corian counter, white cabinets and appliances including gas range, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. Sip your morning coffee at a round oak table for four in a cozy breakfast nook.

The master bedroom has a Queen Bed with an excellent mattress and Memory Foam topper. The renovated master bathroom is tiled throughout and has a tub/shower. The second bedroom has a king size bed with an excellent mattress and Memory Foam topper as well. The third bedroom is set up with a king size bed that can be split into two twins and a small desk. A second bathroom has Corian counters and a tub/shower lined with white tiles. To make your stay more comfortable, we provide bathrobes, and over-sized towels and beach chairs.

A gas grill is provided for outdoor entertainment in a completely enclosed back and side yard for privacy. A washer and dryer are located in the oversized one-car garage with a half bath just off the kitchen. The house is completely level and there are no steps inside of the house.

Note on neighborhood construction. Construction of two neighboring houses is expected to be completed by January 1, 2024. The third neighboring house work is primarily inside to be finished in March or April, 2024.

Loved our stay in the yellow cottage
Cleanest place we’ve stayed in PG. Owners are great, and the location and amenities cannot be beat. House is exactly as pictured in listing. Nice little garden area in back with table and chairs was great for pre-dinner glass of wine - you can hear the ocean! Very enjoyable stay.

Lovely location
This is a great house just a block or so from the shore. We lo ed walking along the coast and down to lover's point. Very clean, spacious home. Kitchen has plenty of utensils- we cooked a few meals here and the kitchen was great for that. Beware- wood flooring is incredibly creaky and noisy. Makes it hard to sleep if anyone is up and walking around.

Five of us ladies spent 4 days here. It was the perfect getaway. We walked all over, did some watercolor painting, watched movies, BBQ’d, and just enjoyed our vacation! We all wished we could have stayed a full week. We hope to come back!

A walk to the beach
This was our first stay at 1032 Balboa Ave and the home was exactly what we expected. The location is perfect & the home accommodated our families needs which included large bedrooms and a spacious living area. We love the location because your steps away from the ocean, Point Pinos Lighthouse, Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, great restaurants & coffee on Lighthouse Ave, and roughly 2 miles from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Can't wait to stay here again!

Lovely Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed out stay in Pacific Grove. The home is in a great neighborhood literally a block from the ocean trail. We walked along the ocean to the aquarium and Cannery Row, about 3 miles away, as the weather was gorgeous. The home is quite clean and well cared for. If you are looking for something that has been fully updated and is ultra plush, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a warm, inviting, comfortable, well appointed and cared for home that is relaxing and affordable, then you should look no further! We were 110% satisfied with this gem!

Awesome house in an amazing location
We stayed at the yellow house for a week and absolutely loved it. The house looks exactly as pictured and has every detail and essential accounted for. The house is a quick walk to the beach and a very short drive to pretty Pacific Grove and Monterey. Deer frequent the neighborhood which is tranquil and helps you escape completely. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect Vacation Spot
This is the most perfect house to stay in Pacific Grove! It's has great access to the beaches, close to shopping and plenty of coastal viewing. The Yellow Bungalow is always in wonderful immaculate condition and so great to cozy up in the evenings. Totally warm and comfortable to stay in. We've spent 5 years renting this home for our annual sibling's get-together and are so looking forward to many more!

Wonderful Girls Weekend Away
We really enjoyed this wonderful house with a great location. The house was very clean and had all of the comforts of home. The movie selections was really great also, we didn't need to go out an rent movies. The short distance to the ocean, Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf was perfect. Also, the weather that weekend could not be beat.

PAC GROVE 2019
This was the second year in a row we stayed at this property. Once again everything was perfect. I only wanted to note one thing for the owners of the property. The cold water faucet in the second bedroom bath room area is not working correctly. it seems a bit sticky and it may get worse or create a problem in the future. I noticed it the first day we were there and was extra careful with it the remainder of our stay. My wife noted that the toaster in the kitchen only seems to toast one side of the bread so we had to turn the bread over to get both sides toasted. The batteries in the Television remote are old and need replacement and I bought a new light bulb for the front porch. These are just minor notes and not items that disrupted or diminished our stay. We love the house and it is very comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to all of the facilities (golf, restaurants, shopping) in Pacific Grove. We look forward to our next visit.
