Saltbox - Pacific Grove House - Two Blocks to Beach and Downtown!

Ready for a great vacation in “America’s last hometown?” This is it.  You’ll find vintage charm around every corner in this classic Pacific Grove home. The cozy living room (with seating for four) opens to the dining area (with a table that expands to seat 6) and a coffee station (with a Keurig and a drip coffee maker).   Sparkling quartz countertops and a beautiful tile backsplash highlight the kitchen, which includes a four-burner gas range with a griddle, a rolling butcher block island, and a 24” dishwasher. The laundry room is behind the kitchen, along with a full bath with a curved shower.  The light-filled bedroom off the entry has a Queen bed, comfortable reading chair, and an adjoining office with a desk. A narrow stairway leads to the master bedroom (King) and a third guestroom with twin beds. The upstairs bath has a clawfoot tub/shower.   Relax in the sunshine in the Adirondack chairs out front, barbecue out back, stroll to the beach, or head downtown to explore restaurants, cafes, galleries, boutiques, antique shops, and a cinema. With everything in easy walking distance, you may park your car and never use it.  Street parking only.   Pacific Grove Transient Use License #0472
The vacation home features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

We loved this house. We used to live in PG, and we wanted location, and this was perfect for us. The downstairs was spread out so we had a bedroom, office space and a nice sized bathroom area. All this was near the kitchen and living room. My daughter stayed upstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed, and lots of space for everything. Don’t expect a view, but the location was ideal. Visitors need to realize that parking is a bit of a challenge here, but we would definitely stay here again,

Beautiful house, very clean and well stocked kitchen with lots of nice equipment and utensils. Two coffee makers (one Keurig, lots of pods!), even a Brita pitcher in fridge! Beds were comfortable and warm. Unfortunately, the upstairs shower/tub sprung a leak that flooded the downstairs dining area - evidence that this had been an ongoing problem - we had to put pots to catch the water and tons of towels to clean it up. Hardwood floor ruined! Property manager responded immediately and offered to send someone but we declined because we thought it wasn’t going to be an easy fix that could be completed during our short stay. They were able to give us some adjustment to our room rate which I thought was fair and appreciated not having to haggle over it with them. Otherwise, really great house and location was awesome. Couple blocks from ocean and couple blocks from cute Pacific Groce downtown with restaurants and shopping. Would definitely stay here again next time.

Our group included our son’s family with 15-month old baby so the “upstairs/downstairs” arrangement was perfect: grandparents on the first floor bedroom with office, and son and family upstairs spread over the 2BRs there plus full bath including tub for child. Kitchen was spotless, including inside the cabs, with complete and thoughtful provision of kitchenware. An easy 2 blocks to the 17 mile walk (and an easy walk there to the Aquarium), and 2 blocks in the opposite direction to a great restaurant and coffee shop and 2 blocks across to a childrens playground. To our surprise, the small footprint of the home was very comfortable, affording both family togetherness and privacy when desired. Our host Michael was easy to communicate with. Entire experience was worry-free. A perfect getaway for our family.

A Little Gem

We had a fantastic stay at the Saltbox. It was the perfect size for our family and was stocked with everything we needed. Parking was a challenge, particularly on the night of our late arrival, but we made it work and got to brush up on our parallel parking skills. We loved the location and the quick access to PG, Pebble and Monterey. We can't wait to return next year.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect for 2 couples. Well supplied and very comfy. Great location and walkable to the water and restaurants. Cute town and everyone was so friendly! Thanks!! My only suggestion would be a patio umbrella for the table out back. Could keep in the shed when not being used.
