Hard to imagine a more beautiful location in the Monterey Peninsula. This is one of only a handful of homes that exist on the ocean side of the Pacific Grove ocean-side roads. With miles of maintained trails one could walk all the way to Pebble Beach.

We stayed for two nights to celebrate my wife's birthday as a surprise to her. Our three kids and their spouses/friends were with us and we didn't really leave the house. There are some pretty good restaurants in Pacific Grove but when you are at such a beautiful location there's really no reason to leave except to hike the dune/ocean trails. The kitchen is fantastic and you can easily seat 10 at the amazing dining room table.

The great room looks out at the ocean and you'd think you were at an iMax theater watching the waves, the sea birds, the otters and the occasional whale.

I didn't get a chance to meet Kirstie (my kids did) but she was exceptionally communicative and helpful.

We'd return in a heartbeat!
