Elaine and Bob are warm, and very experienced hosts. They provided everything we needed including plenty of towels and extra blankets. The rooms were cozy and had plenty of spaces for two of us. Although the house itself is not located on the beachfront, it was just a 5-minutes away from the famous aquarium and the downtown Pacific Grove. My mother and I drove to Carmel, which was just 15-minute easy drive. They gave us the house key and let us situate comfortably without interfering with our desire to be private. They lived downstairs but we hardly heard any noise (even with their small dog, Emojie). Only caveat is that they don't have a kitchen upstairs. We brought an electric kettle and that took care of our needs to make warm quick foods. The room has a Keurig coffee machine, mugs, tea, so only thing you need will be a warm croissant from a local bakery to start your breakfast before heading toward any sightseeing spots. The rooms were not stylish that made us go ooh and aah, but with the affordable price, you get everything you need. We paid extra $30 to use the other bedroom so that my mother could enjoy private space. She visited from Japan, and this trip became such a memorable mother-and-daughter time together thanks to Elaine and Bob. I highly recommend their home as the accommodation choice for anyone else.
