Gingerbread - Pacific Grove House - Close to Beach

Experience the vintage charm of Pacific Grove while enjoying all the comfort and conveniences of the 21st century in this beautiful two-story, Victorian-style home.
Relax on the deck off the master bedroom, or outside on one of two front porches: you can spread out in this comfortable home with hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a unique "sun tower" at the top of the stairs. This den/office area, with a wet bar and under-counter refrigerator, is everyone's favorite place to read, chat, or just enjoy the view overlooking this charming neighborhood.
Cherry wood cabinets and a lovely tin ceiling add warmth and charm to the well-equipped kitchen, and the open floor plan can be "zoned" by doors separating the kitchen from the dining area and the living room from the entry way. An instant gas log fireplace in the living room adds ambiance while you enjoy a good book or a movie on cable TV/DVD (available in both the downstairs living room and the upstairs bedrooms).
All three bedrooms are carpeted and located on the second floor. The master bedroom, decorated in soft tones of rose and green, has a queen-size bed and a private bath with a stall shower. A second guestroom has a queen-size bed; the third has two twins. The guest bath features a tub/shower, and there's another half bath downstairs.
The location makes this Victorian-style home one of our most popular accommodations in Pacific Grove. Upon arrival, you may want to park your car in the spacious two-car garage and forget about it! Just a block from downtown, you are within easy walking distance of Pacific Grove’s quaint shops, restaurants, the Farmer's Market, and the scenic coastline recreation trail.
If you feel energetic, walk along the coastal trail to the world renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, exactly one mile from the front door. Along the way, observe marine life - sea lions, seals, otters, and shorebirds. Also within easy walking distance: a grocery store, bakeries, library, post office, ice cream parlor, coffee shops, visitor's center, museum, movie theater, bookstore, parks, playground, and boutiques. (If you prefer, there is bus service just a block away that will take you to the Aquarium and Cannery Row, downtown Monterey and Asilomar Beach.)
If you are a golf enthusiast, bring your clubs! The Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course is just a half mile away, and a short drive will take you to the world-famous links at Pebble Beach. Don’t miss the boutiques and galleries of Carmel, and on a sunny day, take Highway 1 down the coast to Big Sur. (Mmmm, lunch at Nepenthe... an Ambrosia Burger and a basket of their famous fries!).  Pacific Grove Transient Use License #0011
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from 17-Mile Drive. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and 2.5 bathrooms in the holiday home.
  • The holiday home offers a kitchen, a washing machine and 2.5 bathrooms
  • 10 minutes by foot from 17-Mile Drive and a 2-minute drive from Monterey Bay Aquarium

Weekend with old friends
A group of my friends from grad school got together for continuing education and fun. The house was perfect for us with space to spread out even though we congregated around the dining table. A short walk to the beach and a short drive to the convention center. Had everything we needed in a great house and quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful home in convenient location
Extremely clean, well stocked property in a very convenient location. Short walk to Lovers Point or Downtown restaurants and shops. Beautiful homes surrounding as well. Love the deck and office nook. Was slightly warm upstairs on arrival, but convenient upstairs windows provided great airflow and cooled the upper floor in a short time. Overall excellent experience.

Perfect rental
The house was spacious, comfortable, and two blocks from the beach. We saw otters swimming in the ocean every day and walked to the marine sanctuary to watch the seals. Coffee shop and restaurants were two blocks in the opposite direction. The neighborhood was quiet, too. I absolutely fell in love with Pacific Grove and was so happy we stayed there instead of Carmel or Monterey. Sleepy beach towns are the best.

Great location and lovely home
We had an overall great stay. The kitchen and bathrooms are nicely equipped and clean. It was unseasonably warm for this time of the year and the temperature in the house was over 80 for 3 of the 4 days. There's no AC, but there were fans to try to cool off the house. All things otherwise were 5 stars.

Wonderful home
My husband and I stayed here with our son and daughter in love and their two girls. It could not have been better! It was so comfortable and fun. There is a secret room that our 2 year old granddaughter just loved! The location was perfect. We walked everywhere and enjoyed the aquarium, beach, coastline and great meals - both out and take-in. We will definitely be coming back! Even met the neighbors across the street and found out they have a home near us in Reno.

Great home walking distance to plenty!
This is our second time staying here and we’re so happy we did. It’s spatious and has what you need for cooking, sleeping and playing. We stayed with our family (boys ages 2/4) who love the little nook under the upper level. We walked to dinner, the beach, rented a surrey. I’d stay again.

Butterflies and Birds
Perfect location and lovely house for a butterfly and bird get-away for up to six people. We were five adults in 70's and 80's. The house is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The stairs are a bit of a challenge for the older folks. The upstairs bathroom tub needs a grab-bar or non-slip mat. It is very slippery and hazardous, especially for the older folks.

Bed & Sleeping situation could be a better
Great property rental company that rents this place. Clean & convenient location. Sleeps 6 but our experience re: beds & sheets: 1. If you have a taller or bigger frame, sharing a full /queen bed is uncomfortable. So, we split up and slept on floor and couch. 2. Bring your own cotton sheets if sensitive to polyester sheets. We were fluctuating between hot, cold & sweaty all night with Pacific Grove humid & cold climate.
