Pacific Grove is Gorgeous!

The property is as described in this VRBO listing. The property location is very residential and amazing. A short walk both to the beach and to downtown with lots of restaurant choices. We were very happy with our stay on Fountain Ave!

Pacific Grove Adventure

We originally chose this area as we were planning a trip down the Pacific Coast Highway past Big Sur. We were very pleasantly surprised by the Pacific Grove area. There were some very nice restaurants in the area and plenty to see and do. Our accommodations were just right for the location and amenities. The booking and check in process was very easy and the description was bang on. Very pleasant indeed.

Cute beach getaway

Super cute little property just down the street from Lover’s Point! The home was clean and cozy. Only thing is that it says there is a washer/dryer but we didn’t see any so that’s a little misleading but other than that, great place to stay for a weekend!

Great location, especially if you like to walk. Restaurants and grocery store a few blocks away. Asilomar Beach and Cannery both a little over a mile away. Ocean (with miles of path) a half-block away. A comfortable place for two.

Great location

Great VRBO. Nice one bedroom with well-equipped kitchen. Best feature is the close proximity to Lover's Point, restaurants in Pacific Grove - all within walking distance. Also, it is right near the bike path that goes into Monterey. Don't expect a place to sit with a view of the ocean.

Fantastic!

Spotless, well-equipped, and two blocks from the ocean in a quiet and quaint neighborhood. Walk from the home to as far as you'd like in any direction: to restaurants, shopping, Monterey, along the ocean, or through neighborhoods. Manager was very responsive.

Loved this place!

We love Pacific Grove and make it a point to return for an annual reset. This time our trip fell 2months after an unexpected injury/surgery so relaxation and recovery were our main goal. This place was so cozy, clean and comfortable. Perfect space for a casual couples weekend getaway. The check in process was smooth. We were even able to collect a forgotten item thanks to the great communication from our hosts. Would definitely return to this space, grateful we stayed!

Very nice

We really enjoyed our trip, the views and the town. Very safe and quiet area. It did get a little hot in the day and several windows don’t open so I would suggest ceiling fans and another fan for the living room. Also would be nice if there was a comfy chair in the living room. Bathroom was spacious and all was very clean.

Wonderful Location - Could Use Some Warmth

This is a beautiful location. The property itself is very sterile. For the cost of this rental, the apartment deserves some warmth, color, and finishing touches. It looks like someone went to a sale at IKEA and then stopped in at Best Buy and got a deal on an oversized TV. This location is too nice to be decorated like a motel.

Ocean time

This unit is small but quite suitable for a couple/individual. It's very close to Lover's Point and the Ocean Blvd walking path. We walked over to Lighthouse Ave Starbucks and enjoyed the beautiful historical homes along the way. We also walked to the Grove easily for supplies. The only problem for us was not enough heat. The portable heater was fine in the bedroom.
