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.
