My husband and I recently stayed at The Steinbeck Cottage for 3 nights with our daughter and her two children, ages 7 and 3. The Cottage was perfect for us as our daughter had the bedroom which sleeps 3, and we stayed on the pull out couch in the living room. The whole cottage is appointed well and very cozy, especially the living room! Enhancing the coziness was a gas fireplace operated by a remote, and a reading nook. We had all our meals in except lunches, and we were able to walk to The Monterey Bay Aquarium saving us the trouble to find parking for the day. The two Aquarium tickets provided with the rental was an additional perk.
Not very far from The Cottage is the cute town center of Pacific Grove as well as a fabulous coastal walk along Monterey Bay. And the immediate neighborhood provided fun explorations by foot too.
Our host, Kevin Delaney, went above and beyond to be helpful and make sure we had a wonderful stay in his cottage! He answered all emails promptly before we arrived, and was always available through texting or an email if we had questions during our stay. After we arrived home our daughter realized she had left their raincoats behind - Kevin went out of his way to get them back to her!!
We absolutely loved our time there and would go back in a heartbeat!!! Kevin, his cottage, the town and the area are highly recommended!!!
