Very good property to stay! 1/2 block from the ocean trail and about 3 blocks from downtown. Loads of shops and restaurants to peruse. About a mile walk along the ocean trail to the aquarium and Cannery Row. Fully stocked kitchen of pots, pans etc.if you wanted to cook. Only downside was very inexpensive/very uncomfortable furniture in living room. Would stay again if they upgraded the couch.

Great location, perfect bungalow getaway

Nestled just steps from Lover’s Point Beach and the scenic Coastal Recreational Trail, this charming 1-bedroom, 1‑bath flat offers a refreshingly cozy getaway in a beautifully restored Victorian. This walk-to-the-beach or to-town retreat sleeps two comfortably and is ideal for couples looking for a quaint coastal escape. Clean and comfy. We have used Monterey Rentals many times and will again.

Great location

The Fountain Avenue rental was just lovely. The neighborhood was great with all the neighbors being very friendly. We were just several houses away from Monterey Bay coastal Trail. Just down the trail from lovers point. Great restaurants and shops several blocks away on Lighthouse Ave. Specially loved the little red house for breakfast. Great drinks and entertainment at pop and hiss. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Bath towels were exceptionally thick and luxurious. Bed was super comfortable. Would definitely stay there again! Had a weird washer dryer set up.

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!

Pacific Grove Adventure

We originally chose this area as we were planning a trip down the Pacific Coast Highway past Big Sur. We were very pleasantly surprised by the Pacific Grove area. There were some very nice restaurants in the area and plenty to see and do. Our accommodations were just right for the location and amenities. The booking and check in process was very easy and the description was bang on. Very pleasant indeed.

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.
