Barb and her husband were great. Super accommodating and helpful. She was sick so couldn't meet us on arrival but went above and beyond to be in touch and helpful with dining and other recommendations, and proactively checked in w us multiple times during our stay. A terrific host.
The house is a delight. Super warm/friendly/cozy and immaculately appointed. They've put a lot of thought into the place and it shows. It is WAY better than the pictures make it look, for sure. Great kitchen - we almost wished we had planned to cook a meal in because the kitchen was so good.
We had 4 adults & 2 kids. It was a bit of a squeeze w that crowd, but not bad. Esp w the lovely back patio, where we enjoyed one night by the fire pit.
Location was great - a mile from the aquarium along a lovely coastal path. A few blocks from the shops & restaurants of Pacific Grove. A stones throw from the beach. Mind you, not the sort of beach you'll want to put a towel down and spend the day, but certainly a good place to get your feet wet and let kids play.
All in all, we loved it and would happily go back!
