Wonderful place and great location!
We loved the location! The apartment was clean and well appointed. We cooked most of meals there and had everything we needed. It is a quick walk to multiple restaurants and you can see the water from the front windows.

Walked into a face full of spiderweb entering. He was an industrious son of a gun and walked out last morning to another face full. I think I got him the second time though. 😂

We loved this spot with an ocean view. Easy walk to many things we wanted to see and do. Super clean. Bed was very comfortable. Free street parking was a big plus. Nice, quiet neighborhood.

Great location
Great VRBO. Nice one bedroom with well-equipped kitchen. Best feature is the close proximity to Lover's Point, restaurants in Pacific Grove - all within walking distance. Also, it is right near the bike path that goes into Monterey. Don't expect a place to sit with a view of the ocean.

Cute beach getaway
Super cute little property just down the street from Lover’s Point! The home was clean and cozy. Only thing is that it says there is a washer/dryer but we didn’t see any so that’s a little misleading but other than that, great place to stay for a weekend!

Everything was great! The only drawback was that showers needed to be quick as the hot water runs out! But this was no big deal.

Loved this place!
We love Pacific Grove and make it a point to return for an annual reset. This time our trip fell 2months after an unexpected injury/surgery so relaxation and recovery were our main goal. This place was so cozy, clean and comfortable. Perfect space for a casual couples weekend getaway. The check in process was smooth. We were even able to collect a forgotten item thanks to the great communication from our hosts. Would definitely return to this space, grateful we stayed!

Ocean time
This unit is small but quite suitable for a couple/individual. It's very close to Lover's Point and the Ocean Blvd walking path. We walked over to Lighthouse Ave Starbucks and enjoyed the beautiful historical homes along the way. We also walked to the Grove easily for supplies. The only problem for us was not enough heat. The portable heater was fine in the bedroom.

Very nice
We really enjoyed our trip, the views and the town. Very safe and quiet area. It did get a little hot in the day and several windows don’t open so I would suggest ceiling fans and another fan for the living room. Also would be nice if there was a comfy chair in the living room. Bathroom was spacious and all was very clean.

Wonderful Location - Could Use Some Warmth
This is a beautiful location. The property itself is very sterile. For the cost of this rental, the apartment deserves some warmth, color, and finishing touches. It looks like someone went to a sale at IKEA and then stopped in at Best Buy and got a deal on an oversized TV. This location is too nice to be decorated like a motel.

Cozy cottage near Lover's Point
The Fountain Ave cottage is a cozy and well-appointed way to stay near the coast in Pacific Grove. We found everything to be new, clean, bright, and comfortable. Steps from the front door is the beautiful Lover's Point park and walkway going past the aquarium and Cannery Row, all the way to the marina and Fisherman's Wharf. Otters and sea lions are playing in the waves, seagulls are flying overhead, and whales are occasionally spouting in the Bay. We saw one on Christmas morning, and it was glorious! The kitchen has everything you need for light meals and snacks.

Great location, good but needs help.
First the good: Perfect location (close to Lovers Point and Lighthouse street), clean unit, mattress comfortable, sheets and towels good, lots of hot water and quick response to requests for additional items (i.e. towels, measuring cup, etc.). Could use help: walls need fresh paint, screens on windows, add dishwasher, hook on bathroom door, shelf and grab rails in shower, full length mirror, proper night stands, replace flimsy dresser, remove owner stuff from closets, replace TV with smaller size commensurate with small living room, provide dedicated parking space, provide instructions for finding and using laundry, wall clock in kitchen.

Good Stay
Older, small unit but well appointed and in a terrific location. While you really can’t see the ocean from the living room, you can walk to it just a few houses away. Pacific Grove is also walking close and the Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row are very close also. Unit is fine for a couple or single. Great, comfy King bed. Laundry is downstairs in the garage and requires an app and credit card. Only issue was hot water in the bathroom; sink was an ongoing problem and sometimes the shower too. Communication with management folks was excellent and check-in was super easy. All in all, I’d certainly come here again.

Great location, clean, spacious, but...
Nice place. great location, easy parking. quiet at night. spacious. plenty of clean linens. they almost nailed it! almost... although not fancy decor it had everything we were looking for... except one important item... and the only reason I rated three stars rather than 5. The bed was way too firm for our liking, and they layered on a couple cheap mattress covers which offered little to no benefit. seems like a terrible idea to put an ultra firm mattress, which is only suitable for a small percentage of the population in a VRBO. We didn't sleep well and I was not a happy camper about the bed. otherwise the place was great.
