Honestly, you truly can't get better then Jim's place in Monterey/Pacific Grove. After we came back, I immediately went to look at booking next year, and price-compared. For the amenities, location, adorableness, and Aquarium passes included, this place is the best deal for miles.
We LOVED walking from the place to the Aquarium and Cannery Row. It's about a 30 minute leisurely walk, and worth every second. The walk is beautiful, and there were moments that I was literally (this is kind of embarrassing) brought to tears by how pretty it is there. A 7 minute Lyft ride back costs maybe $10 (if you're eating late and don't want to walk). We walked home in the dark the second night and felt safe... there were lots of other couples on the trail. The AirBnb is beautifully outfitted with everything you could need. Good airflow, light, the bed is comfy, the bathroom is big, there is a full kitchen, and the TV has lots of entertainment (with a comfy couch to boot). The place is sparkling clean (and I am SO nit-picky about that). There were a few ants, which is to be expected when you are at the coast, but not many. Would it be weird to say that they were the cute kind of ants? Probably. Well, they were. We felt safe, tucked away, quiet, and relaxed. This is the perfect couple's getaway. I truly could not recommend Jim's place more.
