This bungalow was perfect for the 4 of us gals! The location was wonderful. We had so much fun in Pacific Grove and the surrounding area. It was a delight to come back “home” each evening!

the house needs a lot of work, the front door has a gap between the door and the door jamb, the door bangs when its windy and cold air blows in. The heater didn't start twice and the fireplace frequently sidn't start. the heater is at the bottom of the stairs so the heat goes upstairs. The kitchen table is sticky and wiping it doesn'ytfix the problem. The dishwasher door is so tight I couldn'tt close it. the windows have cracked paint and the window sills outside are filthy. In short it was not what I expected for what I paid

We loved the location of this home because we were close to the harbor in one direction and close to lots of great restaurants and shops in the other direction. If you are traveling by car be aware that there is only street parking available.

Such a sweet little Victorian home to stay in for 5 days. Plenty of room for 3 adults. It was warm and cozy-very enjoyable and quiet. Parking isn’t guaranteed in front of the house but we always found a spot either further down the street or on one of the adjacent streets. Lovers Point is literally at the bottom of the street and features restaurants and areas to sit and take in the gorgeous views of the bay. The bike path is a beautiful, easy going stroll from Lovers Point in Pacific Grove all the way to Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey. The Sweet Pea is a perfect place to relax.

Great location and we had a wonderful stay.
The only downsides were the sticky dining table- I tried cleaning it with dish soap and with spray cleaner but it didn’t make any difference, I think it needs to be refinished. We couldn’t use it or put anything on it, consequently we ate out more than we planned (=more expensive).
The bathtub and shower upstairs got water all over the floor and made it very slippery, not to mention potential long term damage to the floorboards, maybe a shower curtain is needed?
And the location sometimes made finding close parking difficult, maybe give renters more of a heads up in advance. For example getting luggage or picnic things in and out.

Nice house, very clean. However, parking was horrible! No driveway for this property. One way street and street parking very limited. Carrying luggage, groceries a couple of blocks due to parking limitations. This should be clearly stated in property description.

My mom and I stayed here for 4 nights while touring the central California coast. The house couldn't be more convenient to Lover's Point and the hike/bike coastal trail. The street is quiet and parking was easily found. We especially loved the gas fireplace and the separation of the master (ground floor) from the guest bedroom (upstairs) giving us plenty of "space" and privacy. The power went out on the entire Monterey Peninsula for 2 of our days there, but we found all the needed amenities in the house - flashlight, candles, lighter. I would definitely rent this house again!

Two suggestions: Sticks to hold windows up, since the cords were broken in the lower bedroom window. We used a wooden spoon. Much simpler than replacing the cords. And some plastic containers for food storage. We bought four at Safeway. I loved staying in a Victorian era home and watching the sunset from the living room. I think I've never felt so much at home in any other lodging. I'm 100% sure I would stay there again. And we couldn't have been any closer to the heart of Pacific Grove.
I love the mystery why almost all the home had women's names on the plaques. I did see one that said Robert. Thanks for doing everything right.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sweet Pea. The location and the amenities were great. It was easy to get in and there was usually a parking space in front of the house, or at worst half a block away.
The negatives: We couldn’t leave any food out because it attracted ants, and I found a spider in the bathroom. Also it was chilly when we were there and I didn’t finally figure out the heat until the day we left. Luckily there were plenty of blankets so it was cozy! Even when the power went out in a storm we were comfortable.
As a bonus the neighbor’s dog was friendly and playful so I didn’t miss my own pets so much.

Cozy and convenient layout. Close to the center and very quiet street. Suggest to put a sign to guarantee guest parking space. Downstairs shower Sewer blockages, had to clean into deep to get hairs out and let water flow.
We enjoyed our stay, feel like home. Thank you.

Property was in a great location, nice little porch in front along with patio in back. Easy check in and out, parking can be tricky but usually can find one around the block and walk over. Would stay here again when we come back!

My husband , brother-in-law and sister-in-law stayed here for 3 nights as an after tax season getaway. Location is great and enjoyed the quaintness of this historic home. My dislike was the street parking We are from Arizona and this isn’t something we have an issue with. When I read street parking I “assumed” it would be assigned to each house. My bad live and learn.

This small historic home is darling. Very short walk to Lover’s Point. Rent bikes there and explore the paved ocean side walkway/bikeway that goes to Aquarium and Cannery Row. Enjoy coffee on the front porch and eat dinner off the grill on tucked away table for 4. Michelle, property manager, was very responsive. We had a great time.

Sweet pea is located just blocks from the ocean and great places to eat in Pacific Grove. We really enjoyed walking along the nearby pathway that follows the coastline. It was so beautiful and my son loved riding his scooter there. The house is an adorable historic Victorian, very clean and quaint. It is nicely furnished and comfortable for a small family. The towels are soft and beds are comfortable for a good night's sleep. The fireplace in the living room puts off a lot of heat and wall heater takes care of the bedrooms. Each bathroom has it's own heater too. The neighborhood is very quiet. Michelle was easy to reach for any questions ahead of time and during our stay.

Very nice small old house two blocks from the ocean. The kitchen and eating area (in the kitchen) are quaint and pleasant. The house is old and slopes down hill (front to back) but that’s to be expected in a house built in 1883. The bathrooms are nice (one on each floor). We also were able to BBQ outside using the nice propane grilll.

Cute property big enough for a family of four. Cafes, restaurants, grocery store, liquor store, and beach all within 5 min walk! Monterey bay aquarium it’s about 10-15 min walk.

This was a terrific little house in Pacific Grove. The location is outstanding, parking was very easy and although we didn’t cook while there, the kitchen space was perfectly fine for its size. The only reason for 4 stars is that the mattresses need to be replaced. They sink in the middle and are tough on the back. If the mattresses were replaced, we’d stay there again.

Everything was just as we had hoped for from reading about “Sweet Pea” and her location and amenities. It truly was the coziest of cottages and a beautiful, short, walk down the street to the ocean and the beautiful sights. Would love to rent her again in the future! Didn’t want to leave.!! Loved the neighbor next door and her dog, Mr.. Rory Bradley.😊 Such great ambassadors to the area and “Sweet Pea”!

We felt very safe and comfortable in this house. So much history...built in 1883 but updated to today's standards. Close to the beautiful walking trail at Lovers Point just down the street. Would like to have seen aluminum foil and saran wrap as we did cook a couple of dinners. Would stay again!

Sweet Pea is an old house that has been nicely updated. The downstairs bath is off the kitchen at the back of the house, old school but just fine. Kitchen provided all we needed. Stairway up is steep and tight, but the bedroom, bath and study(?) are fine for kids or a limber couple who sleep in twin beds. Wonderful location in historic neighborhood, but parking can be a problem. (We walked everywhere.) Watch for Rory, the next door dog. He is a sweetie who loves to play ball.
