Great location and well appointed
We really enjoyed our stay! The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, baking dishes, and even some basic cooking ingredients. The children were thrilled with their room and the whole house was immaculate. We would definitely book again if it was available.

Wonderful stay at a great house!
Almost everything was wonderful! We couldn't have asked for better location or accomodations. Three small issues. Only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. If we were supposed to supply it would have been nice to know ahead of time. We had 7 adults for 3 days. More than 7 towels bath towels would have been nice. And the thermostat seemed to be set at a standard temp, unable to be changed.The low temps on the first night of the stay made sleeping a little uncomfortable.

Love Pacific Grove
House was great and location is fantastic! Right across from the 18th hole of the Poor man’s Pebble Beach. Property owner was quick to reply and house is nicely appointed. Only issue, and it is a small one, is it is advertised as being dog friendly but it was not. And there is only seating for 5 at the kitchen table.

Great location
House location is unbeatable. 2-3 minute walk to the waterfront where you can watch otters in the wild. Only 2 miles from the aquarium/cannery row. Would stay here again based on location alone!
House itself is basic. You have everything you need but it’s not especially luxurious. Downstairs sink and shower drain very slowly. We only received 8 bath towels and 3 washcloths despite booking for 9 people - supplemented with provided beach towels. We ran out of hot water a couple of times when we had the whole group who needed showers after a day of hiking and beaches (feels expected given smaller/older home and lots of people). Beds are comfortable. Kitchen small but adequate. There is a small toy closet which was nice for the kids. Backyard is large and has a fire pit and a grill (we did not try to use either). Plenty of street parking and a driveway. Neighborhood is quiet.
House worked well for our needs given we were out and about most of the 5d we were in Monterey.

This is our third time at the house, and, as always, it was a relaxing escape. We could even listen to the ocean from the yard. The house is comfortable and well-maintained. Wonderful place!

Great house, very clean, comfortable beds. Loved the backyard BBQ. But the highlight was sunrise walks along the shore that was steps from the front door.

Accomodations were exactly as represented, spacious enough for 6 adults and 3 kids. Loved the location, easy walk to the beach. Nice quiet neighborhood. Would recommend this rental! Only issue we had was the ground floor bath/shower drained very slowly and I didn't get a response from the owner, but we were only there for a few days. Left a note in the tub. We would gladly rent this again!

Good for Families
The home was comfortable for our party of 7 adults but is more suitable for adults with children. One bedroom has bunkbed with an older hide a bed that blocks exit from bunkbed when in use. There are two small dining tables in the house and a large dining table outside. Our group could not be seated indoors at the same table, ideal uncrowded, seating for meals, is workable for separate adult and kids tables.
The location is great! Steps from the beach, oceanfront, walking, trail, and around the corner from PG municipal golf course.

Family fun
This was a perfect place for my family of four (2 teens) and my sister’s family of four (two 8 year olds) to spend a long weekend together. We especially appreciated how there was enough room for everyone to do what they wanted - there was a group playing a complicated strategy game in the room off the kitchen, a couple playing solitaire at the kitchen table, kids watching a movie in the living room, and sometimes someone would take a break and read upstairs in one of the large bedrooms. The backyard is outstanding (we had a nice fire and roasted marshmallows). And the location is in easy walking distance to the ocean and tide pools. It was clean, well maintained and exactly what we were looking for.

Great location steps away from beach. House dated, garbage disposal didn’t work, issue with drain, back yard grass not cut or kept. Found glass in back yard (kids almost cut), multiple people got cut from nails in steps in stairs, when reached out to property manager for some items to be addressed he was not polite.
