The listing’s photographs don’t do this space justice - this is a very cozy, ideally located, very clean space that is perfect for a couple or even a person traveling solo.
I stayed here for three nights with my girlfriend for her birthday weekend and we both loved the space. You’re downstairs from the person who owns the house, but you barely hear anyone upstairs. You have a private, lighted entrance and your own keys to get in and out as you please.
You have a main room with a very comfy queen-sized bed, plus a kitchenette and closet space for two. Next to that is a full bathroom with a beautiful shower.
There’s many, many small details that make this place special, just in terms of what the owner provides: the floors are heated, there’s a heating rack for your towels, there’s a white noise machine if you need help getting to sleep, the overhead lights are dimmable, there’s a perfectly rolled up towel in the bathroom just for putting on the floor. There’s even a pair of Andes mints on both bedside tables!
I haven’t even gotten into the amenities of the location: 8 minute walk to the beach, 12 to Lovers Point, centrally located between Monterey (Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf) and Carmel (lots of fancy dining) and also the famous 17 Mile Drive at Pebble Beach. About an hour drive from Pinnacles National Park.
If you want to stay in Monterey/Pacific Grove, this is one of the best spaces you’ll find!
