Perfect location, beautifully updated home

We absolutely loved this place! The location could not be better. Right across the street from Lover’s Point, which made walking over with our small children so easy. We also really enjoyed taking the walking path from Lover’s Point to the aquarium and Cannery Row. The home is beautiful; everything has been updated and was very clean. The owner provided lots of information, so we did not need to contact him during our stay, but he was very accessible. Highly recommend!

Comfy cottage steps away from Lover’s Point

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. I was doing all of the driving, and appreciated the off-street parking, which was provided with a gate. The kitchen was well appointed and served our needs easily, as we liked to eat breakfast in every day. The sitting room was comfortable, and had a large TV. The bed we used was also comfortable, with soft sheets.

My new favorite vacation rental in the Monterey Area

I absolutely adore this cottage. You are right across the street from a beach. The home is airy and bright. And it’s located close to all of the places you would want to go during your stay here. The check-in process was a breeze. The host provided everything we might need during our stay. Check-out was even easier. I am looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Lovely Little Blue House

My family of four enjoyed a relaxing 3-night fall getaway in Pacific Grove. We loved our stay at the Blue House, which is quaint, well maintained, beautifully furnished, and perfectly situated near the beach and downtown shops. The house is cute, clean and comfortable, with two bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. The plantation shutters made it easy to enjoy great natural light and ocean views during the day and then have privacy at night. The Scandinavian-style decor is really lovely. It was the perfect retreat after an afternoon of hiking along the coast, exploring tidepools, visiting the lighthouse, or shopping and dining nearby. We'd definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

This home is an ideal beach house. It is literally 100 yards from the lagoon and is the closest home to Lover's point. It has views of the Monterey Bay from the living areas and both bedrooms. One can sit on the front porch, sip coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon and watch the tour buses go by.

What makes this property unique

Walk to the beach, the golf course, and downtown Pacific Grove. Take a casual one mile walk to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
