About this property

* Concours week just opened up! Still available inquire soon! *

This spacious and sun kissed penthouse is the perfect home away from home. Our building is one the most historic Victorians right in the heart of downtown. It is also the most photographed building in downtown Pacific Grove which we also call 'America's Last Home Town.' This charming penthouse has great views of downtown and the Monterey Bay. This is a completely furnished unit decorated in victorian charm and comforts of home with two (2) bedrooms and one (1) bath. This unit is perfect for up to four (4) guests. There is 24 hour off site parking. There is also a brand new custom kitchen beautifully decorated. The bathroom spacious and clean. There is also a washer and dryer available for your washing. Come enjoy breakfast downstairs before walking through the beautiful downtown area for great shopping, two short blocks to the ocean, next door to our movie theatre, and 1 mile to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This unit is first class and very clean. Even though you are right in the downtown area, this unit is very quiet. Guests have said that it is more quiet than staying along the ocean drive.

This unit has beautiful hand scraped teak hardwood floors, high ceilings and is tastefully decorated. Curl up on the couch in the front bay window with a good book and enjoy looking at our downtown in action.

It is an easy 2 block walk to Lover's Point and the breathtaking regional trail that winds along the Monterey Bay. You can walk south around the Asilomar State Beach or north to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row & Fisherman's Wharf. Don't forget to visit our beautiful Point Pinos Lighthouse.

Location and Layout

This quaint property was exactly what we needed to make the weekend relaxing and enjoyable. Just a few blocks from the beach and a very short drive to cannery row, we loved this spot. It was quite clean and neatly tucked above restaurants. We were able to make it to our event in downtown Monterey (just a 10 minute drive) without any problem. There are also so many small shops and eateries within walking distance that made this a place we will definitely revisit. The owner was also quick to reply for anything we needed.

Perfect Location in Pacific Grove

This property is in an ideal location in Pacific Grove. Would certainly stay here again and highly recommend this home for your next trip there. The hosts were fantastic making us feel welcome and were always responsive to any questions we had. It is an easy walk to the aquarium, 2 blocks to the ocean with beautiful views and so many restaurants all within walking distance including the restaurant down stairs from the rental. There is a coffee shop two blocks away with musical entertainment on Fri nights and Saturdays as well as brunch jazz on Sundays. I can not say enough about our wonderful stay here. Can hardly wait to return.

Nicely Updated Victorian in a Great Location

The property is very nicely updated and comfortable but it can get a little warm and does not have a lot of airflow. Mary was great and the restaurant downstairs is convenient and good food. Located in a great area with a lot of good restaurants and an easy walk to the beach and Cannery Row.

Wonderful!

This was the just the most perfect place to stay! The charm of this historic building added to our vacation. The apartment is perfectly appointed, all of the rooms were charming and comfortable. We loved being able to listen to the jazz music from the restaurant below. If you are wondering about noise from the restaurant or the street, do not worry! We didn't hear any restaurant noise at all. This historic street was so quiet after hours....it was a great break from San Fran! The town is so walkable....we walked to most of our meals out, and enjoyed visiting the quaint shops, and it's less than an 8 minute walk to the coastal walk to enjoy the sunrise in the morning and the views during the day. And, the breakfast at their restaurant was amazing!!!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Aliotti

We have owned this beautiful downtown Victorian since 2000. This building was built in 1893 and kept up with tender loving care. It is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Pacific Grove. We own and operate our restaurant Victorian Corner which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoy visiting with our locals and also meeting new people from all over the world. We have two children that keep up very busy as well.

Why they chose this property

Since we have owned the building we always wondered what would be best to do with the penthouse above the restaurant. We are so proud and we know the space is so beautiful we just want to have it available for visitors to Pacific Grove to be able to experience our excitement.

What makes this property unique

It is amazing to wake up in the morning and look out the window to such and amazing view of downtown and Monterey Bay. It has such a great feeling of being in an authentic Victorian overlooking downtown and Monterey Bay.
