Ain't Life Grand? - Pacific Grove House - Beach + Town

This urban oasis is a few blocks from the beach, and around the corner from one of the most charming Main Streets in America. Located in the commercial district of Pacific Grove, it’s just steps from shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, a wine bar and a movie theater. The entry area—with a bistro table and a sofa—is set up like a storefront. The real living areas are behind the door, where you can relax on leather sofas adjoining a lovely kitchen with mocha-colored quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar that seats four. The master bedroom has a private bath with a walk-in shower; the upstairs bedroom has a peek of the ocean and an en suite powder room. The laundry is in the basement at the bottom of the stairs, and all the delights of Pacific Grove are right outside your front door. You can swim, dive or kayak at Lover's Point right down the street (with a white sand beach for sunning, a kiddie pool, beach volleyball court, and a snack bar, café and restaurant). With grassy areas for picnics and surrey, bike, kayak and paddle board rentals—this park is a favorite of visitors and locals alike. Stroll down the coastal recreation trail to commune with seals and sea otters, or play golf at the ocean side Pacific Grove Golf Course, affectionately known as a budget-minded alternative to Pebble Beach. A short drive will take you to Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf, downtown Monterey or Carmel. Within minutes you can be touring scenic 17-Mile Drive, hiking to secluded Big Sur beaches,horseback riding, deep-sea fishing or whale watching. Any questions? Just ask “Alexa.” Street parking and one designated space in the lot across the street. Pacific Grove Transient Use License #419

We loved our stay! The house was in the perfect location — walking distance to shops, restaurants, cafes, and even a grocery store. Stepping outside and seeing the ocean just down the street felt magical, especially with the morning mist and the sound of seagulls greeting us each day. It was the perfect Pacific Grove getaway!

This downtown Pacific Grove location was the perfect base camp for exploring the Monterey area. The listing should note the music school next door.

Great location!

My family stayed here for a long weekend (husband and two small children). We love Pacific Grove’s and always try to stay somewhere close to Lighthouse st. This location was perfect. The place itself was very comfortable with great amenities. My husband especially enjoyed that huge tv for football Sunday. We ate at Rodolfo’s just around the corner and were a very short drive to Monterey bay aquarium. Highly recommend

Perfect location

You can’t get any closer to the action in PG than this! Walking distance to everything you want to go see. Parking spot was nice to have. Beds were very comfortable. Ne aware the second bedroom is directly above the master and you can hear pretty much everything. Very limited supply of “stuff” in kitchen and bathrooms - but that’s just my personal opinion. I’m used to full cupboards and accces to the simple things like foil, paper towels and coffee.

We loved the location of the place. You can see the ocean down the street. A cute/quiet part of town that’s walkable to lots of restaurants, bars, shops and not too far of a walk to the aquarium (30 min walk).

California Dreaming

This amazing Townhouse tucked away within the shops of Pacific Grove is a must stay. We walked in to a clean, welcoming home away from home. We were able to take in the beauty of the coast and return to the comfort of this home.
