About this property

Walk to Beach, Downtown! Spa & Private Deck

  • Escape to "The Retreat," a beautifully updated historic beach cottage in the heart of Pacific Grove, offering an AMAZING LOCATION that puts you steps from everything! Originally built in 1908 within the charming Pacific Grove Retreat, this home blends rich history with every modern convenience for a cozy, comfortable, and unforgettable getaway. Pacific Grove STR #0084.

    Step inside to an inviting open floor plan where the living room seamlessly flows into the fully stocked kitchen. Relax by the huge gas fireplace, enjoy your favorite shows on the Smart Samsung TV with streaming apps, and take in the abundant natural light from the soaring ceilings and skylights. The dining room opens directly to a private deck, creating an incredible indoor-outdoor living experience. Here, you'll find an outdoor living room with another huge gas fireplace, an outdoor eating area, BBQ, and for ultimate relaxation, a hot tub and outdoor shower.

    Upstairs, a spacious living room loft provides additional comfortable seating, another Smart Samsung TV, and a third gas fireplace. Need to catch up on some work? An adjustable standing desk is also available.

    The home features two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor, each with a queen bed. The master bathroom offers a bathtub shower, while the second bathroom boasts a luxurious steam shower.

    You'll rent directly from the owner, ensuring personalized communication with me and my local house manager. I love sharing my home with guests eager to experience all that Pacific Grove has to offer.

    You simply can't beat this location! Everything you desire is within easy reach: stroll to downtown for charming restaurants and shops, or head to Lovers Point Beach for sun and sea. The Pacific Grove Golf Course is nearby, and the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row are just a mile away on the scenic beach trail. Day trips to Carmel for shopping, Pebble Beach for golfing, or Big Sur for breathtaking hikes are all easy drives. Or, simply stay in and unwind in the hot tub, read a book by a cozy fire, and truly relax.

    Please note: The Pacific Grove Retreat is a historic, close-knit neighborhood. While we want you to fully enjoy your stay, this property is not suitable for parties. We strictly observe the guest maximum of 4 and strive to be good neighbors by maintaining a peaceful environment. For your safety and to ensure a comfortable stay for all, this property is monitored by a RING video doorbell and Noiseaware noise sensors located inside and in the backyard (https://noiseaware.com/).

The home was very comfortable; incredibly clean and extremely well stocked especially in its modern kitchen. I appreciated that the host was readily accessible and responded quickly to any questions I had prior to booking and was welcoming once we arrived. The location of the home was perfect for the 3 of us (older adults) within walking distance to many restaurants and Lovers Point beach. Because of the chilly weather we did not take advantage of the lovely backyard with its seating area, sauna and hot tub. We will definitely return.

This was a perfect stay. The home is cute, in a historical district that makes it even more interesting. The outdoor fireplace was so much fun to sit around after a long day of activities. The hot tub helped sooth some sore muscles. And the location was perfect, close to walking trails along the shore and close enough to walk to dinner at night. Communication with owner was timely and she was very helpful We Loved this stay!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The house was immaculate from top to bottom—spotless and thoughtfully maintained, which made us feel right at home the moment we walked in. The upgrades were top-notch, from the modern kitchen appliances to the luxurious bathrooms and comfortable furnishings; everything felt fresh and high-quality.

Lover's Point Retreat was a GREAT place to stay. Margaret & Frank were awesome hosts with very efficient communication and SO organized. They had suggestions for activities, restaurants, etc. The home was very clean and in a superb location. We walked everywhere and really enjoyed the back patio with a fireplace, hot tub, sauna, and grill. Pacific Grove is a delightful, quiet community and we were so close to restaurants, grocery stores, beaches, etc. After a busy day, we looked forward to going home, enjoying a glass of wine on the patio, and all the other amenities of this place. So relaxing. One night we bought fresh fish from the fish market at Monterey Fisherman's Wharf and grilled it - DELICIOUS! The BEST place to stay for a Monterey/Carmel visit. Hopefully one day we can return.

If you’re debating between this and another house, STAY HERE!!We have never visited the area before and absolutely loved our stay here. We did not realize how truly close we would be to the beach. A 5 minute walk north to a beautiful park and trail or a 5 minute walk south to downtown with lots of food and shops. A surprisingly quiet street. We were a bit nervous about street parking only but we were always easily able to find a close spot. The house was filled with natural light and so cozy. We loved the outdoor space. My only critic would be that the shower head in the master bathroom needs replaced (weak water pressure). We opted to use the main bath shower only (the steam shower setting is amazing!).Margaret was very responsive each time we messaged. Thank you, Margaret and Frank, for a great stay!
