What a fantastic place and such lovely people! Evan and Sarah have a beautiful house in Pacific Grove which is ideally located between Carmel and Monterey and is nicer and quieter than both.
Our family stayed with Evan and Sarah in two of theirs rooms - the amazing bungalow which is adjacent to the main house and the Blue Room which is in the house.
The bungalow is fantastic - it has an amazing, huge bed and a wonderful shower. The bungalow opens onto a lovely garden area with views of the ocean. The Blue Room is very comfortable too.
Sarah and Evan are delightful hosts, full of ideas about the neighbourhood including where to go and where to eat. Hula's was a great local Hawaian fusion restaurant and Holly's was a lovely place for breakfast and lunch. Save your money on the 17 Mile Drive in Carmel and go instead to Point Lobos State Park which is amazing.
Finally, Sarah and Evan encourage you to visit the Monterey Aquarium and we were really impressed especially the jellyfish displays.
You will not be disappointed if you stay with Sarah and Evan - they will help you have a great time in Pacific Grove.
