Perfect weekend getaway. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. This house is literally next to the beach. The host was very friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out smooth. We appreciated the thoughtful touches and stylish decor. Highly recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!
We loved the location!! Walked every morning Along the path, enjoyed the downtown area, and walked everywhere!!The home was super clean and the floor plan was ideal for our family. Spilt bedroom arrangement and two living rooms have is options for having blended ages all staying together!!Also having a garage was an added bonus for us!!We would be extremely happy to stay here again!!
The house was great, we only stayed 2 nights but had no complaints because we were to busy walking/riding the trails and weren't in the house much. I would rent this place again!! It was very clean which for me is the number 1 priority, beds were comphy
This is a great place to stay if you are visiting the central coast. The location is close to the beach, but still away from the tourist traffic. It is centrally located to everything (shops, restaurants, aquarium, beach). The host was very accommodating and helpful. The home has what you need with the historic charm of Pacific Grove.

Great family vacay close to all the beach and Monterey have to offer
Nicely appointed house that is within walking distance of the Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Lovers Point Beach Park. Our family loved it. We slept comfortably, enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen, walked the beach multiple times, played golf nearby and walked to restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. We would stay here again in a minute.
The location of this property is excellent as it has a short walk to the trail that runs along the beautiful shoreline. there is a musty smell on the ground floor and the garage is only big enough for two cars if they are both compacts, and the drive is too short to park a medium size vehicle.
Overall nice stay. the house is in an amazing location. It is a bit dated and I feel needs updating but is clean and well kept. The kitchen is well stocked. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper and when I texted the response was not great.
This was the perfect house and location for us. Beach and ocean at the end of the block and Restaurants 2 blocks and walkable. House had 3 spacious bedrooms, a large kitchen and a good size living area.
Garage fit 2 midsize SUV’s; tight but doable.
Small outside area in front, but no backyard.
10 minutes to Aquarium and Cannery Row
Property and location were great. It was worrisome prior to check in as to what the procedure was website said they would contact us 24 hours before to let us know what the procedure was for checking in period we didn’t hear from them until that morning, which was kind of worrisome and stressful
Spacious and comfortable home at a great location! Easy to get to restaurants and activities from Monterey to Carmel. Having garage access was great for parking. Owner communicates timely with us. He graciously worked to accommodate our last minute request.
We enjoyed the cool ocean breezes, but wished there were screens on the windows. There was no DVD player as advertised; thankfully, we were able to hook up our portable player to their TV.
We would rent from this home again.
The property is a little bit dated, but clean and comfortable, with large bedrooms with comfortable beds. The location is fabulous, close to good restaurants, walks along the shore, biking or long walking to lots of Monterey. We had the good fortune to spend an hour or so watching whales jumping in the distance from the point one evening - that was one magical moment in a lovely week. Family did two days at the aquarium, one day at the beach, and one day of whale watching, plus we did some hiking further down the coast. On our departure, property managers were very helpful in reporting a forgotten portable extra laptop screen in a timely fashion, and helped us get it back while the cleaning crew was still there.

Good location and decent house
We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties. Few odd things about this one were that (a) even though the house had four bedrooms and sleeping capacity for 8, there was a charge for each guest over 4 per night. Just be careful when your rent. (b) the check-in process was difficult with the need to meet a property manager when you check in. This was a pain for us as we were traveling from another city and our timing was just not firm so we were texting all afternoon. Kitchen was not stocked well with cooking equipment if you plan to cook there.
All that said, the location was good, the house was fairly clean.

Once you arrive at Lovers Point Vacation Home park your car and throw away the keys! Just 30 steps to the beach and only a few blocks away from great restaurants, coffee houses and shops. We have found that a nightly rate based on group size is the most fair and affordable way to set our rates. This allows smaller groups to pay a price reflective of their group size rather than forcing them to pay a higher price in line with a much larger group. Pricing is noted on the website and broken down on each quote before money is exchanged. After each of our guests depart, our home is professionally cleaned. We try to meet our guests at check-in to ensure they are comfortable with house operations, answer questions, offer restaurant suggestions etc. The kitchen is equipped for larger gatherings as well as small.
At Lovers Point Vacation Home we love hearing about the wonderful experiences and are happy to play a small part in the memories made. An overwhelming majority of our guests come back time and time again, recommend us to friends and wish they could extend their stay. Thank you for trusting your vacation with us, our goal is to exceed every expectation and have you book your next stay before you even check out.

Perfect beach house less than a block from the ocean
We recently spent the New Year's holiday in this wonderful home. We were an extended family of 7 traveling together (4 adults, 3 kids) and the house fit us perfectly. The kitchen was very well equipped (although could use a tea kettle) and the family room with wood burning stove was comfortable and cozy during the cool, rainy weather we experienced. Differing from the photos posted, there is a new, beautiful large dining table with bench seating that we used for family dinners and playing board games (which were provided at the house). All of the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Within walking distance are many shops and restaurants, as well as the gorgeous Lover's Point park and the walking trail along the coast. From the trail, on which we walked to the Monterrey Aquarium, we saw otters, seals, and even whales breaching!! Just spectacular. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Monterrey area.

One of the Joys that is so valuable to us is hearing about how families and freinds were able to make lasting and wonderful memories, in part, becuase of our Lovers Point Vacation home. We look forward to your return, Thank You :)
Loved how close this was to the beach area. Beds were super comfy and kitchen well equipped. Since we only had one car, the garage worked great for us as the street is always pretty full and super narrow! Liked the keyless entry which made it easier. So many things to do that are close by that it's hard to choose.
Just steps from Lover's Point, Pacific Grove. Probably one of the most picturesque spots in the area with a protected swim beach, coffee, food, rentals, and a short, cliffside walk Into a Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row. There's even a quick stop on the way to see the harbor seals. The house itself is absolutely beautiful, updated, spacious and perfectly appointed. Plenty of towels for the home and beach. All the beds have memory foam mattresses and high-quality linens. Best night sleep I've had in a while. The kitchen is perfect for preparing any level of cuisine including a gas grill which was immaculate and ready to use. The dining area is very comfortable and spacious. There is a cozy living room on the second floor, and another cozy sitting area on the first floor which were wonderful for relaxing in the evening.The hosts, Larry and Megan have equiped the house with everything you could possibly need. Communication was plentiful and check in and check out were effortless. Overall, the home and location enhanced the fun, relaxation and connections we had on our visit. We would eagerly rent this property again for a return visit to Pacific Grove.. Thanks again Larry and Megan.
Very spacious 3 bedroom 2 bath house. It had great amenities for the kitchen and bathroom. Pacific Grove Beach was a small walk and had great adventures for everyone. Highly recommend renting this gem.
