Gingerbread - Pacific Grove House - Close to Beach

Experience the vintage charm of Pacific Grove while enjoying all the comfort and conveniences of the 21st century in this beautiful two-story, Victorian-style home.
Relax on the deck off the master bedroom, or outside on one of two front porches: you can spread out in this comfortable home with hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a unique "sun tower" at the top of the stairs. This den/office area, with a wet bar and under-counter refrigerator, is everyone's favorite place to read, chat, or just enjoy the view overlooking this charming neighborhood.
Cherry wood cabinets and a lovely tin ceiling add warmth and charm to the well-equipped kitchen, and the open floor plan can be "zoned" by doors separating the kitchen from the dining area and the living room from the entry way. An instant gas log fireplace in the living room adds ambiance while you enjoy a good book or a movie on cable TV/DVD (available in both the downstairs living room and the upstairs bedrooms).
All three bedrooms are carpeted and located on the second floor. The master bedroom, decorated in soft tones of rose and green, has a queen-size bed and a private bath with a stall shower. A second guestroom has a queen-size bed; the third has two twins. The guest bath features a tub/shower, and there's another half bath downstairs.
The location makes this Victorian-style home one of our most popular accommodations in Pacific Grove. Upon arrival, you may want to park your car in the spacious two-car garage and forget about it! Just a block from downtown, you are within easy walking distance of Pacific Grove’s quaint shops, restaurants, the Farmer's Market, and the scenic coastline recreation trail.
If you feel energetic, walk along the coastal trail to the world renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, exactly one mile from the front door. Along the way, observe marine life - sea lions, seals, otters, and shorebirds. Also within easy walking distance: a grocery store, bakeries, library, post office, ice cream parlor, coffee shops, visitor's center, museum, movie theater, bookstore, parks, playground, and boutiques. (If you prefer, there is bus service just a block away that will take you to the Aquarium and Cannery Row, downtown Monterey and Asilomar Beach.)
If you are a golf enthusiast, bring your clubs! The Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course is just a half mile away, and a short drive will take you to the world-famous links at Pebble Beach. Don’t miss the boutiques and galleries of Carmel, and on a sunny day, take Highway 1 down the coast to Big Sur. (Mmmm, lunch at Nepenthe... an Ambrosia Burger and a basket of their famous fries!).  Pacific Grove Transient Use License #0011

Weekend with old friends
A group of my friends from grad school got together for continuing education and fun. The house was perfect for us with space to spread out even though we congregated around the dining table. A short walk to the beach and a short drive to the convention center. Had everything we needed in a great house and quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful home in convenient location
Extremely clean, well stocked property in a very convenient location. Short walk to Lovers Point or Downtown restaurants and shops. Beautiful homes surrounding as well. Love the deck and office nook. Was slightly warm upstairs on arrival, but convenient upstairs windows provided great airflow and cooled the upper floor in a short time. Overall excellent experience.

Perfect rental
The house was spacious, comfortable, and two blocks from the beach. We saw otters swimming in the ocean every day and walked to the marine sanctuary to watch the seals. Coffee shop and restaurants were two blocks in the opposite direction. The neighborhood was quiet, too. I absolutely fell in love with Pacific Grove and was so happy we stayed there instead of Carmel or Monterey. Sleepy beach towns are the best.

Gingerbread house
This is the third time my family has stayed at the gingerbread house. It’s very charming and suits us very well! The rooms are comfy, the kitchen is well-equipped and the location is fantastic. An easy walk gets you to the beach, into town, to a playground, and for us it’s an easy walk to our relatives home. My only suggestion would be to install a grab bar by the bathtub in the upstairs bathroom. Kate Wright

Great home walking distance to plenty!
This is our second time staying here and we’re so happy we did. It’s spatious and has what you need for cooking, sleeping and playing. We stayed with our family (boys ages 2/4) who love the little nook under the upper level. We walked to dinner, the beach, rented a surrey. I’d stay again.

Great location and lovely home
We had an overall great stay. The kitchen and bathrooms are nicely equipped and clean. It was unseasonably warm for this time of the year and the temperature in the house was over 80 for 3 of the 4 days. There's no AC, but there were fans to try to cool off the house. All things otherwise were 5 stars.

Great house, even better location
I have 0 complaints about this house which is rare for me. I have rented many homes over the years and this one did not disappoint. It was just as described and pictured. The accommodations were great, really good kitchen setup (important to me as I like to cook). The location was fantastic - walking distance to restaurants and the Ocean! I definitely recommend this property!
