Cozy Cottage Near Ocean

Extraordinary hosts and lovely home

We had a fantastic stay in Pacific Grove. First of all- the hosts are incredibly thoughtful, working with us when we had two last minute requests to stay at their place. Second- the place has been extremely well-designed with everything you'd need in the kitchen, both electrical and electronic plugs in the bedroom, comfortabel furniture, many special details like throws for cool weather, remote for the fireplace. The place has been recently remodeled-- a functional mudroom, sparkiing tiles in the bathroom. All the linens are fresh and new. The outdoor space is inviting, with nice furniture and outside gas firepit. Tasteful and arty landscaping. A super place to stay, especially with such lovely hosts.
