Thank you for kind review. I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay.
Great spot! Short walking distance to center of town and beach area. View is gorgeous and the area has that quaint charm a New England seaside town. Amenities in the home are modern and taken care of.House was clean and welcoming. Jack (host) clearly cares both about the property and your stay.All the restaurants around town were great.I never expected to see so many squirrels close to the beach! They were so friendly and came right up to people without being aggressive.We went during fawning season and you’ll see signs posted from it, we had daily encounters with deers throughout town much to our kids delight.Highly recommend.

Thank you for leaving such a kind and thoughtful review. I am so glad that you and your family had a wonderful time at the cottage.
We had a lovely stay at Jack’s cottage. The house is beautifully appointed and the location is perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our trip to Pacific Grove. We would definitely return!
The cottage was really clean and that is important. It was across the street from Lovers Point and an amazing scenic walking trail. Coffee shops and restaurants around almost every corner.
We have loved our stay! The location could not be more perfect with ocean views and an easy walk to the restaurants and shopping. The house has been beautifully updated and the owner has been a delight!
My family loved the house and the location was amazing (within walking distance of Lover's Point).
