Photos and Description of the Monterey vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8-9)

On a private half-acre backing onto a nature trail, our spacious remodeled retreat is a short walk to Asilomar beach, the most beautiful beach on the Monterey Peninsula. The great room has soaring ceilings, a spacious dining area, a kitchen bar and couches looking on to the gardens. The cozy living room has a wood-burning fireplace and couch with a fold out bed. The four bedrooms all have French doors opening onto the grounds. This retreat also has a game room, with an air hockey table, a computer, and a library about area attractions. This home’s lounging spaces and chef’s kitchen will tempt you to hibernate. Yet we also provide a 30-page guide with our insights about the best walks, the best local restaurants, and fun things to do when you venture out.

Walk a few blocks from the retreat to the Asilomar State Park and beach entrance. From there, you may stroll the beach and miles of coastal paths. We are walking distance to the beginning of 17-mile drive, one of the most scenic drives in the world and to the Monarch Sanctuary, where thousands of monarch butterflies winter after their migration from Canada. Downtown Pacific Grove, with its quaint shops and excellent restaurants, is a 6-minute car ride away. Downtown Monterey is 11-minutes away while the Monterey Aquarium is just 8 minutes away. Nearby Lovers Point offers a protected sandy beach, great for kids, swimming, and snorkeling. And downtown Carmel is a 15 minute drive.

Our home is private, light, and lovingly cared for. It is a perfect place for you to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and explore the Monterey Peninsula.

Keywords: Perfect for family gatherings or for a relaxing retreat.

Perfect Group, Family or Couple Retreat

5 of 5

Four families with young children stayed at this house in March and we had a fabulous time! The open floor plan makes for a bright and cozy central living space where we all gathered for meals and hang out time. The kids were able to run around the house and explore the expansive yard filled with pine trees, pine cones and other treasures. At night, the parents sat around the couch and played cards with the children within easy earshot.
This owner has thoughtfully provided four passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium - which is great fun for both kids and adults! My daughter asks me, "When can we go to that house in Monterey
again?" She has formed memories that make her smile!
We not only enjoyed the house and the Aquarium, but took several walks down to the beach - about a 10 minute walk from the house - and to the nearby park. On one morning, I went for a long jog by the ocean - starting with passing through Asilomar to the beach. What a refreshing jog!
The owner is easy to contact, flexible, and friendly! Enjoy a magical time at this clean, spacious and bright house :O).

This home is perfect!

This home has the perfect location to walk everywhere in P.G. We have stayed here every January for several years. It is perfect for families. We brought our new puppy with us. The fenced in yard was great for her. The house floor plan is a great setup when entertaining guests. The kitchen has everything you would need to prepare meals. Loved the Wolf gas stove. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace. The owner is a pleasure to work with and is available for questions or any issues that may occur during your stay. We will continue to stay here when in the area. It is always clean and well maintained.

Great family getaway!

This house was perfect for our family which included 7 adults and 2 young children. The layout was great to gather as a family while offering places for quiet or privacy. The kitchen is well equipped and the information provided on the area was very helpful. We had an amazing time and spent our last night talking about returning next year!

Wonderful Place for Families

5 of 5
Submitted: October 8, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
I would highly recommend this place. It had everything we needed. The common area with such a large kitchen and living room was all open so one could watch kids while cooking very easily. The kids loved the yard - they explored and made pretend places. We barbequed one night and the kitchen was fully equipped. The rooms and beds were quite comfortable. The air hockey table was a big hit! There were maps and tourist brochures provided, plus passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was all perfect, a short drive to the aquarium. The area is very peaceful near Asilomar. It is a short walk to the beach. A very special place. We had 4 couples, each with a child, and we all slept comfortably. It is a spacious house. We had a wonderful time together. Will definitely return.

So Much Fun!

We all had so much fun! We loved the beach and walking the coastal trails. The aquarium was great – thanks for the passes. And what a wonderful retreat home - after the hustle and bustle of the city, your home provided a much needed oasis. Loved using the spacious cooking area to grill fresh fish from the pier!
