Joe's place was very convenient in Pacific Grove, as we were traveling around the coast on this trip, anywhere from Big Sur to Santa Cruz. It was very clean and we were welcomed by a cute welcome note as well as guest passes for the aquarium. This was a wonderful perk, as admission to the aquarium for two adults is $100. The bed was soft and cozy and the place was well appointed with pillows, towels, soap etc. The kitchen was graciously well stocked with anything you might need to make a full meal! I wish we had been able to travel with our pup, as there were welcoming supplies for a dog! The yard was beautiful and we appreciated the motion sensor light on the back garage as we pulled in late. Joe's instructions to check in were great and joe and Kathy offered welcome suggestions on the area.
