We had a wonderful time in our first stay in Pacific Grove. Certainly, the location to Monterey and Carmel (and more) couldn't be much better. The only gripe I'd have is that it's not a good walking neighborhood...no sidewalks, and the locals drive like they aren't on vacation.

The atmosphere at this location, though, was exactly what we were looking for...relaxed and easygoing. Zeus made us smile whenever he wandered by, even when randomly visiting us in our room and waking us up from naps.

Evan was full of great suggestions on where to go around the area, and we had some fun exploring some of his recommendations.

And the passes to the aquarium were well utilized. We got to visit our Otter friends, and chat it up with the various staff on hand.
