About this property

Hipster Vibe - Pacific Grove Apartment - Walk to the Beach!

You'll love the retro vibe of this updated flat. It's "in town" (above one of the best restaurants in Pacific Grove) yet the ocean is just a few blocks away. Start your morning with coffee at Juice 'n Java, explore fun shops, restaurants and galleries... or experience the many natural wonders of the Monterey Peninsula. When it's time to kick back, spin an LP on the vintage record player before heading downstairs for great Mexican food (tequila tasting anyone?). The apartment has peeks of the ocean, a King bed, a den, and a full kitchen (no dishwasher, but with so many great restaurants you probably won't need one). Street parking and city lot (first come, first serve). We'll supply the permit (one car).   Pacific Grove Transient Use License #0477

This property is in a great location, walking distance from lots of shops and restaurants in Pacific Grove. It has lots of bright natural light and is a pleasant environment for the most part. The bed was comfortable, but the living room furniture - a couch and chair - weren’t comfortable for lounging. The other drawback was the fact that it’s above a restaurant that has an outdoor seating area right below the bedroom window, and so we heard the restaurant noise most nights. This place is best for shorter stays when you plan to be out most of the time. For our weeklong stay it was not as comfortable as we’d hoped it would be for the price.

Fantastic Location

Big apartment in the heart of Pacific Grove. Clean and well kept. Easy short walk to a great variety of dining and bars. Lots of fun shopping nearby. Easy beautiful 20 minute walk to Monterey Bay Aquarium. Across the street from the Natural History museum. Nicely appointed unit with lots of room for a couple. Big windows with great light and a bit of ocean view. Full kitchen with all the tools needed for dining in. Great location, roomy, bright, and comfortable. We look forward to returning!

Lovely, spacious apartment close to beach

This was such a nice apartment with a lot of space and very nicely decorated. There is a great Mexicali restaurant right downstairs that is clearly a locals favorite. Also, just a short walk away were many good restaurants. And I enjoyed walking down to the coast and along the walk with great views of otters, seals and vistas. Really nice place that also had parking. Only a few minutes drive to the aquarium or a half hour walk.

Excellent apt and location

All was perfect, the only thing from making it 5 star was the heat would not turn on and it got pretty chilly at night. I bet this can be easily fixed in the future.

Great place to stay

Really comfortable and clean. The staff was very responsive. When we had an issue with the entrance code there was someone on the phone immediately and fixed the problem immediately. Everything was well was stocked, place was better than the pictures, lots of natural light. We will stay there again. One thing I could say is that 11 AM is a more reasonable check out time, 10 AM is too early.

Cute, clean rental - airy and very bright

This was a very clean apartment with a great location. The retro record player was so fun! I didn't realize it was so close to the ocean and don't remember the posting touting the views. We had nice views from both the bedroom and living room windows. Just remember to pack your sleep mask as the sheer curtains in the bedroom didn't prevent the sun from shining in early in the morning. We had great weather when we stayed, but it did get slightly warm being on the second floor with highs in the low 70s.

Pacific Grove Get-Away

The one-bedroom one-bath Hipster Vibe apartment was perfect for our weekend stay. The location is steps away from the main street of Lighthouse Avenue that boasts great restaurants, cute coffee houses, quaint stores, and the local movie theater! Our first night we didn't venture far and enjoyed dinner at the Mexican restaurant Peppers just downstairs from the apartment, and it has delicious food; try the chicken mole for a treat! The apartment is also just a few blocks from the Monterey Bay and Lovers Point. A great location to begin a walk or bike ride. The apartment was clean, spacious, and bright! We didn't cook, but pots, pans, utensils, and dishes are provided. I highly recommend the Hipster Vibe apartment for your trip to PG! (Note: Don't let the hallway carpet up the stairs to the apartment scare you. It is rather dated, but once you enter the apartment, all is great!)

Great location let down by some bad execution.

August 2022 a review touches on some of these points and has a response of: " All the improvements you suggested are in progress (or already supplied)." so I booked The sodium lamp directly outside the bedroom window illuminating the parking lot is not blocked by the flimsy curtains, the bedroom sorely needs blackout curtains. The gap in the entrance door is still visible and needs sealing for noise. Add to that the door lock not sealing without being pulled can be fixed with a trivial bit of handiwork, or tables need to be in the hall so you can set things down while you use both hands to close the door. My only addition is, in 2023 I think memory foam bedding is the only way to go, the vintage bed with two box springs and a lump in the middle was not what I expect with any nice modern rental at this stage and was the worst bed of any rental in the past 3 years which includes properties in nicer locales for less. We bought our own bedding and pillows. Otherwise it's great, but sleep is the foundation that makes a stay.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay here for the week. It is a convenient location to walk to restaurants and other activities. Our only issue was with the bed and the couch in the living room. The bed could probably use a new mattress; it has a low area on one side. The couch in the living room is not real comfortable to sit on; cushions would make it better. Overall it is a great place to stay and close to everything.

Monterey Getaway

The apartment was light, bright and clean. We liked the paint scheme and many large clean windows. The record player was fun. Super close to restaurants, shops and the ocean.We have grown accustomed to 11am checkouts at other places. The 10 am checkout surprised us because we didn't look at the checkout instructions until the morning of. So we had to scramble a little bit.

We walked to Lover’s Point, the Monterey Aquarium, San Carlos Beach to see the sea loin take over. We walked to dinner in the area each night as well. A few driving outings: hiked in Carmel, went on the rail bike tour from Handcar tours. All from the great location in Pacific Grove.

Perfect location

The location of this space is perfect! It’s also extremely clean and the bed very comfy. Ocean is a short walk away as are quaint restaurants. The Mexicali restaurant (Peppers) on the first level of building has great food and Margaritas! If there is anything we would change it would be the checkout time being 10 a.m. Most places have an 11:00 a.m. check out. Overall, this place is great!

Perfect place for seeing the sites in Monterey!

Every amenity was perfectly described in the Virbo description as were the pictures. Very clean and welcoming. We were able to walk to Cannery Row (about 2 miles but a nice walking path along the coast made it pleasant). We rented e-bikes near by and rode the 17-mile drive around pebble beach golf course and stopping to take in the coast scenery along the way. Shops and restaurants were literally steps away. The Mexican restaurant below the condo has great Margaritas! Of course there is noise associated with being above the restaurant and so close to activities but they are tolerable and not constant. We would definitely come back again!
