Pacific Grove is quite the hidden gem... it's cute, quaint and close to all the central coast attractions, so to think I found a hidden gem inside of a hidden gem was a treat in itself! Erika & Blake's place is definitely that shiny diamond that you're looking for right off the coast!
From the moment my sister and I arrived we were blown away! This quaint and cozy little cottage was more perfect than we could've imagined! The place has a lovely charm about it, rustic yet modern mixed with a southern charm. Everything was clean and neatly organized. The "welcome book" outlined everything from the "to dos" at the cottage to "must eat and dos" while in the central coast.
The hospitality was amazing. Erika could hear when we arrived and was already messaging me to make sure we had everything we needed. To our surprise we found more than expected! Breakfast treats for the morning were stashed away in the fridge. Homemade (to die for) chocolate chip cookies were awaiting our presence. (The DoubleTree ain't got nothin' Erika's cookies!) The little kitchenette was filled with all the essentials, including an assortment of teas! These were just a few of the many amenities that they went above and beyond to make us feel at home.
We were able to meet Erika and to no surprise she was wonderful! Just as accommodating, friendly and helpful in person as she had been through message. Truly a delight!
Although my sister and I were visiting because of a "girls/sister trip," we feel this place is a perfect pairing for any person, couple, friends or family who are looking for a double occupancy on the central coast!!
OH... and this place is a 5-10minute walk to the ocean... not that you needed another excuse to book this hidden gem, but just in case there was your icing on the cake!!
Thanks for a wonderful stay Erika & Blake!! I hope to make back to visit again one day!
