The spotless newly renovated 750-square-foot, two-bedroom guest quarters can sleep four-five guests and can be rented together with the first floor of the main house or separately. (Please note that four is the maximum number of guests if rented separately from the main house.)
This light-washed dwelling has a combined living/dining room, two bedrooms, one full bath and a large friendly old-fashioned kitchen with a long white farm type table that doubles as extra counter space or a spot to pull up a stool and converse with the cook. The décor, with its photographs of playful otters and palette of crisp whites, sandy beiges, and turquoise blues and greens, has a beach-cottage quality that imparts a relaxed, getaway feel. From your seat on a day couch, you can look up from reading one of the numerous inspirational books provided and watch the clouds drift by over sailboats in the distance on the bay. Enjoy the same expansive view as you take your meals at a round glass-topped dining table and chairs that seat four in the opposite corner. Should you prefer to be entertained electronically, a 42-inch flat-screen TV with LED, HDL and BluRay is provided. The living room also has a comfortable chaise perfect for reading or watching movies and TV.
The surprisingly large kitchen, with its color scheme of bright and creamy whites, includes an electric stove, microwave and refrigerator (no dishwasher). Built-in cabinetry offers plenty of storage. Alfresco meals can be prepared on a separate gas grill and enjoyed at a wooden table and benches in a nook bordered by a hedge just off the front lawn.
The master bedroom features a king bed with white shutter headboard, Memory Foam topper and highest-quality spa linens. The second bedroom, with a trio of half-paned windows overlooking the front lawn, also features a king with Memory Foam topper and luxurious linens and a built-in chest of drawers. If preferred, the king beds in both rooms can be converted to twins.
The full bathroom, with its recently updated look, features a fresh white tiled floor, cottage-style white vanity sink and a white-tiled tub. You will find vibrant turquoise and white plush terrycloth towels, spa robes and slippers that will make you feel totally pampered.
If the main house and guest quarters are rented individually, then there are separate entrances at opposite sides of the house. If they are rented as one house then the front door entrance allows easy access to both floors. Easy parking on a safe street.
The many delights of Pacific Grove's quaint city center, including boutiques, shops and a multiplicity of outstanding restaurants, are within easy walking distance, as is the stunning rocky shoreline of Monterey Bay with its pedestrian and bike trail that extends for miles, with the famed aquarium at one end and Asilomar Beach at the other. The popular destinations of historic Monterey and the artist colony of Carmel-by-the-Sea are 10 minutes away by car.
