I stayed here with my girlfriend for a few days, and it was absolutely lovely! The location can't be beat. The ocean is right across the street, and you can watch sea lions basking in the sun from your view out the front window. We also saw countless otters, seals, and even a few dolphins.
There is a gas fire pit on the front patio, and it puts off a good amount of heat. We spent a few hours out there, sipping wine, warming by the fire, and watching sea life. We also invited a friend of ours to join us for a bike ride around Monterey. When we were done, we all sat around the fire pit. It was a safe way to socialize during the Covid pandemic.
Speaking of biking, there is a recreational path right across the street that goes for miles in either direction. It's perfect for biking, walking, and running. The view is spectacular, especially if you follow it left, towards the Pacific Grove peninsula. If you're a cyclist, you can follow the coast for 10+ miles in either direction. It's one of my favorite bike rides.
The inside and outside of the house are beautiful. You can tell the owners have put great care into remodeling and decorating it. The tile floors are very nice, the artwork is beautiful, the kitchen was quite nice, and the appliances were all fairly new.
We also met the owners a few times. They were very friendly, and helpful. It was nice getting to know them a little. They even left us a bottle of wine at the front door one evening, because they were concerned that we might have heard some repair work that was happening upstairs. We barely heard anything, and it never bothered us, but they left us that nice bottle of wine. What a nice touch!
In summary, I would definitely recommend staying here. You won't find a better location to stay in Monterey or Pacific Grove, the house is lovely, and the hosts are as friendly as can be. I'm sure I will return to stay here again.
