This cottage was perfectly ideal - fantastic location, super clean, comfy hotel-like beds...and lots of sweet little touches, like a fresh bag of Peet’s coffee and cookies.
The house is directly across from a wonderful little park with a basketball court. It is within walking distance (3 blocks) of downtown Pacific Grove with all kinds of great restaurants (the Red House cafe was my favorite for breakfast, Peppers for dinner!) and the most adorable little bookstore.
I love this neighborhood - colorful little jewel-like houses all built around 1900 with small plaques noting the original owner and when it was built. So much history!
The cottage is also in walking/biking distance from Lovers Point beach complete with its public pool and bike path snaking along the water to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Every morning we walked to grab some breakfast, rode bikes to the aquarium (stopping to see sea lions or otters playing in the water) returned in the afternoon and climbed the rocks at the beach or played in the park before dinner.
Also took the time just to sit in the Adirondack chairs in the front yard, listening to kids playing across the street, sipping tea and reading my book, occasionally talking to the locals about the hummingbirds zooming by.
My son is already planning our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful and refreshing stay!
