Our stay at Jim's place was just what we needed for our 3 days in the Monterey area. I am so glad that we chose a place in Pacific Grove because we discovered many things we wouldn't have known about if we had stayed right in Monterey. The path along the water down to Lover's Point and further down to Cannery Row and the Wharf was awesome to walk every day. We also easily accessed the 17 mile drive from our place and the cute strip of restaurants and shops on Lighthouse Ave, just a 20 minute walk from Jim's was perfect each morning for coffee/breakfast.
