The Outback Bungalow was a delight to stay in during my annual solo escape to Pacific Grove. If you wish to be within walking distance to both the shoreline and the downtown area of PG, the Outback Bungalow is perfectly situated for that, as it is located between the two!
Pros: Incredibly quiet neighborhood at night and wonderfully comfortable bed make for a good night's sleep. The gas woodstove as the source of heat is perfect and I made good use of it during some very chilly days in January. The kitchen and bath are well appointed and stocked. And the bonus washer and dryer came in handy. Honestly, the Outback Bungalow was probably the cleanest accommodations I have ever stayed in mid to high end hotels and nothing beats Outback Bungalow's cleanliness. I have much appreciation for that!
Cons: Cleaning fee is a bit steep, but see above under Pros! CURRENTLY, there is construction next door which, of course, leads to a lot of noise during the day. This will be done eventually; however, I do wonder about the large construction/addition and what that may mean for the overall vibe and aesthetics of the current cute block. Storage is a bit lacking if you wish to unpack and stay for several days, especially for two.
Overall, the Outback Bungalow was time and money well spent for me. I wish I could have stayed longer and also wish to have met Michele, who was very communicative but respected my privacy, completely. For the solo or couple traveler, this cute bungalow is outstanding. Happy travels!
