Lovely Little Blue House
My family of four enjoyed a relaxing 3-night fall getaway in Pacific Grove. We loved our stay at the Blue House, which is quaint, well maintained, beautifully furnished, and perfectly situated near the beach and downtown shops. The house is cute, clean and comfortable, with two bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. The plantation shutters made it easy to enjoy great natural light and ocean views during the day and then have privacy at night. The Scandinavian-style decor is really lovely. It was the perfect retreat after an afternoon of hiking along the coast, exploring tidepools, visiting the lighthouse, or shopping and dining nearby. We'd definitely stay here again.

The perfect house in the perfect location!
I can’t say enough positive things about this charming century home. What a fantastic location. You can see the ocean from the house. It’s so charming inside and spotless. We enjoyed the 5 nights we stayed there. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for not only a beautiful home but Pacific Grove is incredible. What a beautiful town. I can’t say thank you enough to the owner Carolee Brunken

Shockingly close to Lover’s Point beach
The owner Jack was very responsive and the property was in the ideal location. Perfect amenities for our family trip to Monterey. The coastal trail is only a few footsteps out the door and meanders down to the Monterey Aquarium. I plan to take my family back here again.

You’ll Wish You Lived Here 💕
We had an amazing stay at Jack’s Cottage! We were married at the lighthouse and had our reception at Fandango’s. Staying here completed the trifecta! Jack was as warm and welcoming as the cottage, very responsive and helpful. Beautifully decorated and all the amenities you’ll ever need. If you’re lucky enough to visit Pacific Grove, I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else to stay! ☺️

Cannot ask for more to be steps away from Lover's Pointe Beach. We walked to local restaurants for breakfast and after, we walked off our breakfast on the path by the beach. Detailed instructions regarding the cottage was emailed and a welcome call was made by Jack letting us know the weather was wonderful. Thank You

Fantastic Lover's Point House
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful, quaint house in Pacific Grove. The location was perfect, and we enjoyed being so close to the beach area. The homeowner, Jack, was so easy to call or email about renting his house. He sends detailed emails/texts, and has a binder in his house filled with information and things to do. I highly recommend renting this house in Pacific Grove. We hope to be back in the near future!

Fabulous Pacific Grove, Monterey Sanctuary!
We are blown away by the location and the amenities for this incredible Vacation Rental. We had fantastic communication with the host and everything was actually even more spectacular than the photos, description and reviews! This amazing retreat is steps away from a lovely beach where you can rent kayak’s and learn to snorkel and scuba dive. There were two fantastic restaurants right across the street as well and this is also within a 10 minute Drive to Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium and the famous Monterey Bay wharf. We are so grateful to have stayed here this past weekend for our 1st annual Gibson Family Vacation with 3 generations! Parking was easy and it was lovely to sit on the front porch And watch the ocean and people pass by. Much gratitude for a much deserved weekend away for our family! Thank you so much! We will be back!

A Fairytale Property
My husband and I stayed here for several days in September just to rest and enjoy the town. This home was one of the most special homes we have ever stayed in! We have rented close to 200 properties over the past three decades. This property was so charming; I could imagine myself here back in the early days of the west coast. It had beautiful water views and you can sit in the rocking chairs in front of the home and chat with people as they walked by. Everyone we met was lovely and friendly! Oh, yes, and the house was immaculately clean. And beautifully decorated with super comfortable beds and linens. Overall, a truly wonderful property to relax in and enjoy the charm of beautiful Pacific Grove!
