About this property
Saltbox - Pacific Grove House - Two Blocks to Beach and Downtown!
Ready for a great vacation in “America’s last hometown?” This is it. You’ll find vintage charm around every corner in this classic Pacific Grove home. The cozy living room (with seating for four) opens to the dining area (with a table that expands to seat 6) and a coffee station (with a Keurig and a drip coffee maker). Sparkling quartz countertops and a beautiful tile backsplash highlight the kitchen, which includes a four-burner gas range with a griddle, a rolling butcher block island, and a 24” dishwasher. The laundry room is behind the kitchen, along with a full bath with a curved shower. The light-filled bedroom off the entry has a Queen bed, comfortable reading chair, and an adjoining office with a desk. A narrow stairway leads to the master bedroom (King) and a third guestroom with twin beds. The upstairs bath has a clawfoot tub/shower. Relax in the sunshine in the Adirondack chairs out front, barbecue out back, stroll to the beach, or head downtown to explore restaurants, cafes, galleries, boutiques, antique shops, and a cinema. With everything in easy walking distance, you may park your car and never use it. Street parking only. Pacific Grove Transient Use License #0472

We loved the house and the location. The house had a great layout and all the necessities. We loved the coffee bar and how easy it was to walk to neighborhood restaurants and the beach. We even got to see deer on our street.
Great location, walkable to beach, lighthouse ave and the farmers market. Clean, well stocked kitchen and room for 6 at the dining table. Perfect for our family get away
We had a wonderful stay at the Saltbox. The location was PERFECT. In a friendly street in Pacific Grove, close distance and easy walk to shops, coffee, restaurants, and beach. You can also walk to the aquarium as well. Street parking was easy, the kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean and fit our family of 5 perfectly. Would stay here again easily if ever in the area.
A lovely place to stay in Pacific Grove! We like the central location and walk everywhere in PG and Monterey. The house is very comfortable and we were pleased with everything. Great communication!
We enjoyed the house! Great location for walking down to the beach and trails along the coast, as well as walking up to the shops/restaurants. The house was clean and well stocked with coffee and all the kitchen items and staples you would need. Smooth check in, received a text prior so we had no issues. Thank you!
The house was great for our group of friends in town for a wedding. The location was perfect for all the Monterey tourism. We were able to walk to the coast and up to the main drag of shops for antiquing and brunch.
Saltbox was welcoming, very clean, and tho we needed to call the maintenance number to make the heat work,he was very responsive
As older women the stairs to the upper bedrooms were intimidating, and there was a great handrail. Beds very comfy.
We recommend a little coffee table in the living room

Quirky and charming house in just the right place for walking everywhere. Plenty of street parking. Our family of four had a lovely thanksgiving here. We will be back!
We loved this house. We used to live in PG, and we wanted location, and this was perfect for us. The downstairs was spread out so we had a bedroom, office space and a nice sized bathroom area. All this was near the kitchen and living room. My daughter stayed upstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed, and lots of space for everything. Don’t expect a view, but the location was ideal. Visitors need to realize that parking is a bit of a challenge here, but we would definitely stay here again,
The property was charming and plenty of room for adult and two teens. Great location just off the beach and blocks from downtown. Neighborhood was quiet. Highly recommend.
Great location and the home away from home for four days for five women friends meeting from three different states. The main floor bedroom and bath was perfect for accessibility needs.

Fabulous Property with Great Location
This property was true to all of the website photos and descriptions. It was extremely comfortable for five adults. The house was clean and well-supplied. We dealt with Michael and he provided prompt answers to any questions as well as very detailed info about what would be in the house for our use. Bedding and linens were top-notch. We'd be happy to return!

Comfortable stay
Fantastic remodeled old home. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and it was in close proximity to the water. Only downside, which wasn’t a big deal, is that
parking is limited to the street.
We loved our stay here! This was such a great house in a perfect location-central to everything in PG. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful and stress-free vacation. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Family hike
This house was clean, an adequate size and, most appreciated, was close to the water's edge so our hiking could start easily.
