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.

We absolutely loved this little cottage. The bed was so cozy and the shower was excellent. The kitchen had everything you may need to make meals. The location was also perfect. Just steps away from the beach and just up the street from the cottage were so many restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again.

Exceeded expectations

We travel to Pacific Grove semi-regularly and really like the area where this property is located. Short walk down to the coastal path or up to the local restaurants and coffee shops. Super quiet at night even on a holiday weekend. Decor and furnishings blend well with this early 20th century cottage. Comfortable bed and spacious kitchen-dining area that is well appointed. Plenty of places to store your travel necessities. The host was very responsive and answered all of our questions both before arrival and on departure.

An Enchanting Experience with History and the Sea!

From the moment we stepped into the Sea Cottage we were enchanted! The history, sights, smells and sounds were such a relaxing and exciting experience! I had the best 5 nights of sleep I've had in years! The sun room was my favorite. The light is perfect for relaxing, reflecting and reading. I hope to return to this little piece of heaven! Perfect host, perfect destination!

Wonderful stay at the Sea Foam Cottage

Everything about the Sea Foam Cottage was perfect for our 30th anniversary trip to Pacific Grove, where we spent our honeymoon. Communication with Jill was easy and she was very thoughtful to give us contact info for just in case generator needs due to storms (luckily didn't need it) I would recommend this property to anyone and everyone. Easy to walk to everywhere, including the beautiful ocean. Can't wait to return!

Perfect seaside cottage

My husband and I came here for a long weekend to celebrate his birthday. This cottage was just perfect with all the amenities of home. We didn’t cook, but there was everything you would need to make a meal in their cozy kitchen. We enjoyed coffee on the enclosed patio with a little peek of the ocean. A one minute walk out the door and your at Lovers Point, or less than a five minute walk to Lighthouse Avenue. Comfortable bed, very clean cottage, and plenty of hot water and the house heated up nicely. Wound come back 100%!

Amazing location

Absolutely unbeatable location and just right for a single or couple. Quiet location, historic home, beautifully decorated. Easy street parking. One block from Lover's Point and the start of the bike trail from Pacific Grove to Seaside! Easy ride to Cannery Row, the Wharf but best of all to a bike trail adjacent brewpub Dust Bowl in the old Monterey train depot just past the wharf. What a daily wonderful daily ritual to walk on the coast and watch whales and otters then bike to the pub! Or walk just a few blocks to downtown Pacific Grove and many wonderful restaurants away from the tourist traps! We'll be back!

This is a great cottage near everything

Pros: great location, ample space, good communication, clean and nice linens and towels. We stayed here for 10 nights. We especially enjoyed the location where we could walk to everything and were steps from the beach walk. Nice sunroom to enjoy coffee in the morning, cocktails at night. Cons: Very few but feel a few minor upgrades would make this a five star. I know that you can’t expect everything in an older home, but the couch cushions have lost their firmness, could have a bigger TV, and the dinner wear could be upgraded. I would highly recommend this unit for couples desiring a pleasant few days in PG and we would certainly come again

I am a native of California and love the central and southern coasts. We enjoy sharing our cottage and lovely coastal town with our guests.

Why they chose this property

I vacationed in Pacific Grove as a young girl with my family. My husband learned Russian at the Defense Language Institute when he was stationed in Monterey while in the service. We loved the area and it kept calling to us.

What makes this property unique

The closeness of the water's edge and the friendliness of the residents make this an exceptional place to vacation and relax.
