This bungalow is awesome! Walking distance to downtown, Lover's Point, several beaches, and a great walking path along the ocean, you just can't beat the location. We visited over the long weekend with our 4yr old son and had a fantastic time. Between walking to see hermit crabs in tide pools, finding shells, and playing at the playground across the street, he was plenty entertained. Being within walking distance to downtown was also great for casual window shopping and was great for getting food. Literally, the only times we were in the car were when we first parked and when we drove away at the end of the long weekend.
The bungalow itself is a great size and was actually probably more than we needed, but always better to have too much than not enough. The front yard has a very private feel and the fairy lights on the front arbor feel very romantic. The beds are high, as warned, but that was fully expected. My wife ended up sleeping with our son; the beds were just high enough that we were afraid he might run into trouble if he woke up in the middle of the night and came looking for us and forgot about the height. He's 40in tall and was able to safely navigate his way off the bed during the day, but not get up on his own, if that gives you any reference.
Almost forgot to mention, Michele is great! We couldn't have asked for better communication. She checked in with us on our arrival date, then later around when I said we expected to arrive just to make sure we were ok. At one point, a smoke alarm did need a new battery, but she was very responsive when we emailed and the situation was resolved promptly. Michele walked the perfect line between making us feel taken care of (assistance was only a message away, if we needed it), while also allowing us to have privacy to do our own thing.
We highly recommend Michele's bungalow for anyone wanting their own secluded retreat in Pacific Grove and will definitely be back the next time we want a getaway!
