Walk to Beach, Downtown! Spa & Private Deck Updated Historic Home @ Lovers Pt

Escape to "The Retreat," a beautifully updated historic beach cottage in the heart of Pacific Grove, offering an AMAZING LOCATION that puts you steps from everything! Originally built in 1908 within the charming Pacific Grove Retreat, this home blends rich history with every modern convenience for a cozy, comfortable, and unforgettable getaway. Pacific Grove STR #0084.

Step inside to an inviting open floor plan where the living room seamlessly flows into the fully stocked kitchen. Relax by the huge gas fireplace, enjoy your favorite shows on the Smart Samsung TV with streaming apps, and take in the abundant natural light from the soaring ceilings and skylights. The dining room opens directly to a private deck, creating an incredible indoor-outdoor living experience. Here, you'll find an outdoor living room with another huge gas fireplace, an outdoor eating area, BBQ, and for ultimate relaxation, a hot tub and outdoor shower.

Upstairs, a spacious living room loft provides additional comfortable seating, another Smart Samsung TV, and a third gas fireplace. Need to catch up on some work? An adjustable standing desk is also available.

The home features two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor, each with a queen bed. The master bathroom offers a bathtub shower, while the second bathroom boasts a luxurious steam shower.

You'll rent directly from the owner, ensuring personalized communication with me and my local house manager. I love sharing my home with guests eager to experience all that Pacific Grove has to offer.

You simply can't beat this location! Everything you desire is within easy reach: stroll to downtown for charming restaurants and shops, or head to Lovers Point Beach for sun and sea. The Pacific Grove Golf Course is nearby, and the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row are just a mile away on the scenic beach trail. Day trips to Carmel for shopping, Pebble Beach for golfing, or Big Sur for breathtaking hikes are all easy drives. Or, simply stay in and unwind in the hot tub, read a book by a cozy fire, and truly relax.

Please note: The Pacific Grove Retreat is a historic, close-knit neighborhood. While we want you to fully enjoy your stay, this property is not suitable for parties. We strictly observe the guest maximum of 4 and strive to be good neighbors by maintaining a peaceful environment. For your safety and to ensure a comfortable stay for all, this property is monitored by a RING video doorbell and Noiseaware noise sensors located inside and in the backyard (https://noiseaware.com/).

Great house for our family of 4 with a toddler and infant. The location was perfect, right in town, walking distance to food, groceries, shops, the beach, and we even walked along the beach trail to the aquarium! Would definitely stay again!

Perfect getaway

We were in love with this house that is perfectly located close to the beach in PG. The check in process and communication with the host was easy and quick to respond. The house features were exactly as listed and met our expectations. We cannot wait to be back with another couple and also do a getaway with our kids. You should not look anywhere else and book this beautiful bungalow.

Another wonderful stay in Pacific Grove

This is our third time staying in PG and our second time at this lovely and well-appointed house. The location is great - just a few blocks from Lovers Point and walking distance to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Also close to the wonderful Bookworks in downtown PG (coffee, pastries and books under one roof). The hot tub is a favorite for our kids. And we love how quiet the area is around the property.

The house was in such a great location! It was an easy walk down to Lovers Point, and very close to lots of shops and restaurants. The house itself is very cute and had everything we needed to make ourselves at home. Margaret was a fantastic host! She quickly answered any questions we had and made us feel welcome. We were even able to check-in (which could not be easier) a little early, and extended our stay by a night. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Pacific Grove Haven

We LOVED staying in Margaret’s place in Pacific Grove. It’s in the most perfect location really close to lots of shops and restaurants, a block from the beach and a block from a park. We stayed there with friends and our kids and it was the perfect cozy spot for our families. Communicating with Margaret and the property manager was also seamless. They were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here and we can’t wait to come back!

Sunny comfortable home in great location

If you’re looking for a comfortable home for 2-4 people near restaurants and the beach, this place is for you. There are 2 bedrooms with double beds. One has an en-suite bathroom. There is another centrally located bathroom with a walk-in shower that doubles as a delightful steam room. The home has a spacious floor plan with a living room kitchen space. The kitchen is well equipped. There are two outdoor spaces- one off the kitchen with a hot tub and the other upstairs off a second very spacious living room. The home is in walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and the beach. It’s an easy driving distance to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We hope to come back and stay here again.

Perfect house for getting together with friends or family. The living area and upstairs loft were perfect for fun conversations and watching TV. The deck is great- it was too cold to use much but I can imagine the grill and hot tub are great during warm months.

Fabulous home!

We spent three nights in this beautiful home. Very clean, incredibly well equipped kitchen, fireplace in the living room and outside, perfect hot tub. Great location, walked to the beach and downtown. 10” from pacific grove muni, 15” from Poppy Hills, perfect location for golfers. The hostess, Margaret was very welcoming, good communication. There is a room at the top of the spiral staircase, reminded me of a tree house, spent the mornings reading upstairs. Amazing lighting, everything had dimmers, so easy to adjust the brightness. Lots of skylights, the home is open and cheery. Cannot wait to return!!
