My husband and I spent the month of April at Casa Simpatico. It was a fantastic house for the two of us. Check in and check out were simple, with a keypad lock that meant we did not have to pick up keys or arrange a meeting time with the managers. The house was great -- better than advertised. The water "peek" is really a beautiful view from the dining room table and the front porch. The house was clean and well-equipped with things like hand and dish soap, paper towels, dishwasher soap, trash bags, and toilet paper. Of course for a month we had to buy more of most essentials. The washer, dryer, oven/stove, and dishwasher all worked great. There is plenty of space for two people to live, work, and eat in the house. The location cannot be beat. It is literally steps from the trail, water, and lovers point. Note that the driveway is really narrow. We have a small SUV and while we were able to park there, we mostly chose to use street parking for easier access in and out of the car. That said, over one month there was only one day when we had any trouble finding a place to park near the house. If work allows, I expect we will be back next year. Definitely consider Casa Simpatico for your Pacific Grove stay.

This house is well named! It is very well stocked and not over done (with too many pillows, throws, artificial plants etc.) it just has useful stuff, and is nicely decorated in a style that is comfortable and practical, also tasteful but not the blue and white in vogue these days. The main king bed is comfortable and warm, we stayed for a month in January so weather was mostly cool (50s). The appliances all did their jobs, the view of the Pacific/Monterey Bay was great, could see surfers from a distance which motivated me to go for walks. The proximity to downtown is a great feature, the recreational trail is a few steps, the terrific library a few blocks, restaurants and shops 2 or 3 blocks, neighborhood has tons of great older houses to enhance walks. Would recommend for small families, singles and couples. Driveway is narrow but parking on street is easy. Grocery store 4 block walk; Trader Joe's a short drive. The heating system in winter is in livingroom, there are space heaters for the other rooms. We put one on low in bigger BR (didn't use the other BR). Gas Fireplace also warms livingroom.

The property had a very nice sea view and well kept with all the requirements and more. We had a great time. The only issue was the living area was well heated but the rest of the property was quick cold. The heaters were not enough to keep the rooms warm. Thank you. Best Regards

We have stayed in the house 2 times. We found it very clean the first time, and adequately clean the second time. Towels and linens in good shape, although there is still a lack of adequate dish towels for drying dishes and hands. The kitchen tools and appliances are all one could need and more. The screen on the vent over the stove needs attention and cleaning. No other needs indoors that we noticed. We had to request that the windows be washed outside instead of that being part of normal expectations. However, requests, such as an additional portable heater, were dealt with quickly and in a friendly manner. We felt quite comfortable in Casa Simpatica. In fact, we have felt so comfortable that we have reserved it for a third stay!` However, so you may be aware, there are a few things that need attention. The screen on the vent over the stove, and the lower corner by the shower. We know you will take care of these, as you did on some concerns from our first stay.
