Ericka and Blake's Airbnb is flawless!
Location: You can't get closer to the turquoise water and craggy vistas of Pacific Grove's shore unless you pitch a tent ON the beach :). We were happy to be nestled here. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Even if you don't walk to the ocean a few blocks away, the streets surrounding Ericka and Blake's property is quiet, has no traffic, and is perfect for strolling...you are in a true neighborhood. There is a nature trail not even a block away that is awash with wildflowers, shade, and birdsong.
We travel with our French Bulldogs. We found the property and surrounding area to be perfect. The cottage doesn't have a self-contained fenced gated area (it is somewhat partitioned), but the entire property is 100% fenced and the hosts generously allow dogs to explore and "do their duty" wherever they need to. We kept our guys on leash but the vibe of dogs being welcome made us feel completely "at home."
We did not feel any sense that finding this dog-friendly Airbnb meant we had to sacrifice our own comfort or luxury. The cottage is an oasis of amenities and comfort. The bed was the best we've ever slept in at an Airbnb. The linens, the recently remodeled kitchen, the delicious coffee and breakfast, the entertainment system, sitting area, and the appointments in the bath...everything was perfect. The fridge was even stocked with our favorite IPA.
There hosts were 100% attentive to our needs and questions.
In short, there is no downside to this Airbnb. Especially for dog lovers, it's paradise!
