About this property

Main Cottage + Carriage House in a Courtyard * Fire Pit * Dog-OK*

Ours is a unique home in the heart of Pacific Grove with two cottages beside each other in the same courtyard.

The Main Cottage has a 4-poster king bed, kitchen and living area. The Carriage House has a wrought iron queen bed with convenience/express food prep (a microwave and mini-fridge). Both cottages come together with your rental.

Great for two couples or a family to spread out.

Retreat for writers & artists. Perfect escape from the inland heat. Take in the mild, coastal air this fall & winter. Go with your friends, family and grand kids to a dream trip they'll never forget.

15-min walk to aquarium, dining, shops, beach.
Main cottage w Cal king. Guest quarters w queen. Private, lighted courtyard. Gas grill and 3 seating areas.

15-min drive to Pebble Beach & Carmel. 30-min drive to Big Sur.

Guest access: Key-pads secure both homes.

How we host you: We are available by text, call or email at any time to answer questions, be a guide or offer suggestions. We have a local property manager who is also available within 5 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if needed.

Character of home: Suitable for quiet retreat: Pacific Grove's "Retreat" area is known for it's quaint cottages and cozy streets. We are in the Retreat, Third Addition.

Even though our home has a secluded, treed courtyard, it is still within ear-shot of neighbors. So please enjoy your outdoor time quietly and observe strict hush-hush hours after 8pm during the week and 10pm on weekends.

In May 2020 PG joined Monterey & ​Carmel in forcing visitors into high-priced hotels by banning you from renting homes for less than 30 days. Inquire with me, Mel, on how to get an affordable place for your family & friends to visit the coast.

About the host

Hosted by Mel

Host profile image
I head up social media for a global insurance company and my husband is a managing director of technology at a financial services firm. We have two kids and a dog.

We are blessed to have this family home in the Monterey area and consider it an honor to share it with others. Please see our family home in north Lake Tahoe, too: Donner Bliss.

I'm always happy to offer tips on restaurants and things to do in Lake Tahoe, Monterey and the Bay Area. Maybe one day we'll get to share our home in Sausalito when we're traveling!

I'm on Twitter @BlissShare, sharing what's new and exciting on the #Truckee, #LakeTahoe and #Monterey hashtags. We love connecting with our guests, helping them with their plans and then hearing how their stays were.

Would love to hear from you!
