Time slowed during our five day stay in PG. The house was furnished with very comfortable beds and furniture and was beautifully decorated to place you back in Pacific Grove's early days but equipped with all the modern conveniences. Lover's Point was a three minute walk, and the downtown shops and restaurants a ten minute walk. We enjoyed the back patio. Communication made our stay easy. Thanks, James!

Anniversary Getaway

We went to Pacific Grove for our 10-year wedding anniversary. The location of this property was excellent. Very close to Lover's Point, an amazing bike trail and downtown PG. We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay. The home is adorable, VERY clean and the host was easily reachable and solved any issues promptly. We cannot wait to return!

Incredible Location

Beautiful stay, truly steps from the beach -- we could watch the sunrise over the water. The home had lovely character, it was comfortable for our stay - two adults. Very clean, with nice touches from the host. Kitchen was well equipped, with some spices, etc. available in the cabinet. A couple of things to note - we missed the fact that one bedroom is only accessible through the other. I was traveling with a friend and we didn't mind, but it might not work for everyone, depending on your group. Also, we didn't use the TV but if that's important to you in the evenings it is in one of the bedrooms, not the common area. The shopping district is a block or two away, there was a Monday farmers market when we arrived and there are plenty of cute shops and restaurants.Great access to Big Sur, 17 Mile Drive, etc. Would stay here again!

Great little place in Pacific Grove

This house was perfect for what I needed. Kitchen was well equipped. The furniture was classic. The dining table set right in a corner window and you had beautiful views of the ocean, boats going by and people watching. Main bedroom had a good size dresser and large walk in closet. Nice secluded back yard. If you are going to rent this property to watch TV, this is probably not the place you want. The only TV is a very nice Samsung, but it is located in the second bedroom, which you have to go through the main bedroom to get to the second bedroom. Normally if you going to be in Pacific Grove, you’re not visiting to watch TV. Great location to beach, food, restaurants and other attractions.

Location and Customer Service

The location is amazing. The host responds immediately. The beds are comfy but note that this would not be a two couple house. Rooms are connected and small. Great for one couple. Very clean. Backyard is an oasis. Kitchen well equipped. Be careful stepping out of tub/shower if you are short. It was also exceptionally warm in Oct and house was 77 when we went to bed. Host tried to ship us a fan. We finally found the last box fan in Pacific Grove. He offered to pay but we are going to keep it with us for duration of Road Trip. We appreciated his concern and follow up. You will enjoy this house.

Check-in instructions were provided well in advance and were clear and easy to understand. The home was spotless. One of the most comfortable beds that I have ever slept on. Had coffee on the front porch while looking out over the bay and watching a herd of deer walk up the street in front of the house. I am already making plans to stay there again.

Perfect Location

The location of this charming home is perfect. Literally steps from the coastal trail and a great view of the bay from the living/dining room. A wonderful surprise is the back garden area. A peaceful oasis. We enjoyed the antiques, especially the lamps and artwork. The home is unique and has everything you need for a getaway. So glad we chose to stay in Pacific Grove. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by james white

Host profile image
I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula and always wanted to share my amazing childhood memories with my family. Now as an adult, visiting has become so much more. This beach house is our escape from the city and connection to nature.

Why they chose this property

We love the untouched, historical nature of Pacific Grove. But truly the seaside location was key for us... We explore the tide pools looking for interesting creatures, jog along the shoreline trail and, well, everyone from this area has a least one family member who plays golf! Shopping for antiques and eating somewhere interesting are also factored into the day.

What makes this property unique

There is always something to do on the Peninsula
