My husband, six year old son, and I (from the Bay Area) decided to spend a long weekend in the Pacific Grove/Monterey area. It's one of our favorite quick trips south. However, with the pandemic, we wanted to be certain that the place we stayed at was clean, comfortable, and near outdoor attractions. Grace's house checked all of the boxes and then some! Cross the street, and you're at the ocean, with the trail that you can walk to Lover's Point and all the way into Monterey (which we did, to the aquarium). I highly recommend bringing your binoculars, because we were able to catch some magical views of whales and dolphins every day when we woke up. The house itself provides all of the supplies you could need to make your own meals. There's a relaxing fireplace, a porch and patio to sit outside, and two huge picture windows to take in the view. I was also really thankful for the comfortable king bed and really soft sheets. It made for great sleep for the entire family. As if this wasn't enough, Grace was an amazing host: she had clear communication, and she even dropped off a bag of goodies with juice and fruit. We will definitely be back!
