About this property

Sweet Pea - Pacific Grove House - Walk to Beach and Town

Experience the vintage charm of Pacific Grove in this two-bedroom/two bath seaside cottage. It's close to Jewell Park, a short stroll from Lover’s Point Beach—and just a few blocks from the shops and restaurants lining Lighthouse Avenue.  You’ll feel warm and welcome with a gas fireplace, a cheerful, country-style kitchen, and a small patio with a barbeque. Period touches abound, from the brass Queen bed downstairs to the white clawfoot tub on the upper level. There is a full bath with a tub/shower on the ground floor, and a second full bath upstairs along with two twin beds and an office nook. Street parking only. Pacific Grove Transient Use License #410.

Kitchen was well equipped. There were convenient outlets. We were able to park within a block every night. Great walks in neighborhood and along shore. Bed was very comfortable, if a pinch high for a shorter person.

Great Location

This house is in the perfect location. It is walking distance from the beach in one direction and walking distance from restaurants and shopping in the other direction. The neighbors are friendly and helpful. The beds are a little tired and may need replaced.

The house is incredibly cozy and well-furnished. We appreciated the extra blankets, coffee pot, and kitchen dishes. The house is a short walk from Pacific Grove’s shops and from Lover’s Point, making it a great home base for a visit!

We really enjoyed the house. The neighbors were really friendly and helpful. Parking was a bit of a challenge but not anything major. The location was central to some of the best restaurants. We are looking forward to a stay next year.

Perfect accommodation

Sweet Pea was perfect for our needs. We could walk to the bay and to town. Our son was golfing at Pebble Beach, which was just a short drive away. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean and we lived sitting in the sun on the porch in the late afternoon. It was a great stay.

We loved the location of this home because we were close to the harbor in one direction and close to lots of great restaurants and shops in the other direction. If you are traveling by car be aware that there is only street parking available.
