A great stay if you want access to a kitchen and walking distance to the rec trail and downtown PG. The cost and amenities are comparable to the midrange hotels in the area. Great for couples - we would stay again.

The cottage was absolutely wonderful as far as location and access to the beach. We could’ve used an additional fan for the front room and the couch was really very uncomfortable. It was very firm and small in depth to sit on that is the only courtesy we have otherwise it was perfect and we look forward to staying there again so please try and get a new couch.

Thank you for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the cottage's location, easy beach access, and that you had an otherwise wonderful stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the front room fan and the comfort of the couch. For future visits, we wanted to mention that there are additional fans available in the closet for guests to use as needed. We will also be looking into replacing the couch to improve comfort.

We loved everything about this cute little place. We found it comfortable and it supplied our basic needs during our stay. And the location can't be beat! We would return to the Fountain Avenue apartment if/when we return to Pacific Grove.

A Quiet Retreat

For a couple who wants to beat the heat of Sacramento for a few days, the Fountain Avenue apartment can’t be beat. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and well stocked property but best of all was the fantastic location a block from Lover’s Point. My only suggestion is that a new couch is in order for the living room.

Awesome experience here! Close to everything—Pacific Grove is a great little town for walking, dining, and shopping and this apartment allows walking to everything. It’s right next to the bayfront walkway, which has spectacular water views. The apartment itself is extremely spacious with a large bathroom and full kitchen equipped with all we needed for our stay. The bed was very comfortable and there was a lot of closet space. Some sound from tenants above walking at times but other than that, perfectly quiet and in a lovely neighborhood. A couple of minutes by car to all Monterey attractions as well. We would absolutely stay again!

I'm sorry the couch wasn't comfortable during your stay. Since your visit, we've replaced it with a brand-new sofa to provide a much more comfortable experience for future guests. Thank you for staying with us, and I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to enjoy the updated furnishings.

Wonderful location and great small vacation home for two, very clean & the bed was so comfortable! Unfortunately the sofa described as well as pictured in the listing has been replaced with the a loveseat that we were unable to sit in, it sits mere inches off the ground with no padding, really awful. The host contact never responded to texts or phone messages, finally able to contact property manager after hours who sent someone to install risers to lift the sofa up a few inches…. We made do, and other that that it was a really nice place!
