This house was at the perfect location for hiking and jogging on the coast trails. It is located right in the middle of a quaint downtown area, within easy walking distance to restaurants, cafes, and a small grocery store. At the same time, it's also very quiet at night. The house is about a five-minute walk to the beachfront trail. We jogged and walked on this trail all the way to Spanish Bay within the Pebble Beach complex. The trail connects to the famous 17-Mile Scenic Drive through Pebble Beach if you want to keep jogging. We also did the driving tour over the 17-Mile Scenic Drive ($11 per car) and exited at Carmel. It is a beautiful drive and highly recommended! If you're hikers like us, we highly recommend you to visit Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and Garrapata State Park area as well. We were able to see wildlife during the hikes and the landscapes were breathtaking!
After a long day of hiking and sightseeing, the house was very comfortable and provided a good night's rest. The bed was comfortable. The owners prepared enough soap, toilet paper, and towels for our 6-night stay. We mostly cooked our own meals at the house and bought nice wines (I brought some oil and seasoning). The Petra restaurant (Mediterranean food) downstairs was amazing, too. Everything we ordered from this restaurant was fresh, nicely seasoned, and super delicious.
Overall, we had a fantastic vacation there. Thanks again to George and Laila. Your responses to our messages were super fast and clear, and we felt so safe staying there. We'll be back when we can visit Pacific Grove next time!
