Oceanfront: Step to the Beach from Your Porch!
About this house rental
Situated in Pacific Grove, this lovely house for $575 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. This home is one of only two in existence along the entire coastline that is both oceanfront and bordering Asilomar State Park in the back. It is a true 'Beach House' where you can actually experience whale watching from the living room couch! Great location--a short walk along the water to Spanish Bay/Pebble Beach. The home is simple, sturdy and comfortable. As of 2019, the home was renovated with new baths, new paint, new tile floors, new carpet, window coverings, light fixtures etc. Downstairs features an open floor plan with large living room, dining room and kitchen all flowing from one to the other. There are large picture windows along the front with wide open views to the beach. The living room features a large wood burning fireplace, comfy couch and easy chairs, a game table, satellite TV, Stereo, etc. Kitchen is well- appointed with lots of cookware and appliances. Dishes are done 'old school' as there is no dishwasher. But since the kitchen sink faces the ocean, the task of washing dishes is fairly painless! Upstairs there are three comfortable bedrooms, all with huge windows, comfy beds and flat screen satellite TV's. There is also an upper deck overlooking the dunes and the beach. Outside you will find a firepit in the sand, perfect for bonfires...or just have a seat on one of the benches and gaze at the stars. The night sky is incredible as there is little ambient light! The famous recreation trail that stretches from Pebble Beach to Santa Cruz is just across the street. You can walk to Spanish Bay Resort (maybe a mile) for world class dining, or wander along the trails of the Asilomar State Park. If you are a beach/ocean lover, this is your spot. One thing's for sure: spend your vacation here and you will come to know why we love our Beach House so much! Keywords: Ocean, View, Views, Beach, Carmel, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach

Rustic Beach house was as listed. Great location & comfy stay for our family of 4 with dogs. The home had everything we needed.
5.0
This house has an amazing location, very comfortable beds and pillows and a great amount of space for 6 people! The only thing I think that could be improved is the comfort of the outdoor space. The benches and small patio area wasnāt very comfortable; but the ability to just walk across the beach for walks and sunsets was well worth the small amount of bench discomfort. I want to book this again for this same weekend next year!

If you expect a 1990 vintage property, this is fine. Needs lots of little things to improve, like the coffee pot due not work with the coffee maker, so no coffee, the espresso has no pods so no coffee, so easy fixes. Sheets are tired, and mattresses seem pretty old. One roll of paper towels provided, should be more. These are just a few items, there are othersā¦
So mostly a general lack of basic items, etc
5.0
Very clean, right on the ocean and easy to access. The explanation for access could have been written more clear, as we had a challenge figuring it out. Otherwise a first class older property!! I will use it again for sure.
5.0
My whole family had a great time staying at this house it was cozy and just a walk across the street to a small beach that my kids loved. Deers were in the front yard every morning it was amazing. The only thing is that if you have small kids the front door only has 1 lock that is easy to open so keep a eye on that door to the street. Would highly recommend any family staying at this home.

Beautiful location w amazing views, easy access to the coastal trails. Comfortable gathering places. We were there for 4 days - for a wedding at Pebble Beach so we didnāt spend lots of time at the house. Note- The carpets mustāve been cleaned before us so they were damp the whole time we were there.

Property exactly as represented. Unlike many vrbo rentals, this house was very well stocked. Anythung we thought of needing they had there waiting for us.
Loved the location - great path for walking, cool tidepools right across the street, deer grazing in frong and back uards, beautiful sunsets. On our last day we had 2 solid hours of whales feeding and spouting visible from the house.
Host was wonderful and very responsive.
Highly recommend.

My family and I loved this house! The location was great, just walk a few steps and you are on the beach. When you have to go back inside, you can still see the ocean from every room! The house had lots of comfortable seating, the bedrooms were big, and the mattresses were comfortable. Everything was very clean and the house had everything we needed. I did not want to leave and I definitely want to come back!

We loved the views , sounds of the ocean 24/7 walking distance to beach ! We want to come back again ! Comfortable beds , outside sitting area for that wonderful view!

Great location with beautiful scenery! But the painters got in the way. First, we could not check in at 3:30 as promised because the painters were there. They did not leave until I contacted the owner, so we checked in after 4:30. Then at check-out, they were there again by 8:00 am, when check-out is at 10:30. They waited around the outside of the house scoping out the windows, etc. They also left garbage, taking up 75% of one of the garbage cans. (The property rep did not believe us.)
Other issues of safety came up, such as a few of the windows were unlocked, and a lamp that fell apart when moved appeared to have been repaired multiple times, as indicated by the glue on the lamp base at the break. Fortunately, my husband checked and addressed the situation regarding the windows, but my son--a fireman--was concerned that none of the bedrooms had smoke detectors.
We have rented a number of VRBO homes and were pleased overall with our stays. For us, this time it was the beach access that made the difference, not the accommodations.

We had intentions of exploring the area but the location was so amazing, we spent the majority of the time on the front patio deck enjoying the view. It met the needs of our group perfectly.
4.0
The home's location is great. It was so easy to drive to all the nearby towns and attractions. The views are wonderful. We found this home very charming. We enjoyed the many unique furniture pieces. The heat works very well and the beds were comfortable. Due to California restrictions we couldn't make a wood fire outside, but we enjoyed sitting out front and taking in the scenery before us. There was plenty of hot water for showers, etc. Something to note is there is a Nespresso single cup coffee maker and it cannot use typical K cups. The sea air has warped the door leading into the garage and it can be difficult to open/close, but that is to be expected when the home is across the street from the ocean. If you are looking for a home that is very modern and more hotel-like, this may not be the place for you. My friend and I were very happy here and would stay again in the future.

Overall we had a good experience. The home was a bit dated and could use some finishing work. Location is right across from the beach, which was great. Home was well supplied with everything we needed.

We had a great time exploring the tide pools, watching the otters and even saw whales spouting in the distance - from the living room! Everything went smoothly and we were even given early access, thank you!!!
5.0
Everything was wonderful about this property except that we lost power due to high winds for the majority of our stay. Owners did give us more firewood but only one of the flashlights worked. Owners were communicative and as helpful as they could be given the entire Monterey area was out of power. Location is a dream and would love to stay again. Literally steps to the beach and walking trails and easy to get around.

This property is in an excellent location with terrific ocean views! If you love to walk, this is for you. You can access the miles of trails built along the beach right across the street. The house is very clean and as described. Communication with property manager was easy and prompt - thank you for everything! We would definitely stay here again!

We got there on a Friday in a storm.
Then Saturday morning our electricity went out for 5 hours. The house gets freezing cold since it is made out of cinder block cement.
Then on Sunday there was sun for a few hours and we got to see the monarchs. Yeah !!!
Then Sunday night the electricity went out at 1:45 am and was out until 9:30 or 10.am Monday So once again we were freezing and no heat. and no hot shower before our trip home.
The host had told me to light the fireplace with the lighter on the mantle. There was NO lighter on the mantle, and when I ask for instructions on how to open the flu and turn on the gas, she was nervous about giving me instructions since I had never dealt with a fireplace like this before?? so we sat in the cold and dark
she was unable to come start a fire for us due to the rain.
Then that very morning as I was sitting at the dining table the roof started leaking on my head!!
What next. !!!
We packed up and left by our appointed time of 11
I was never offered any kind of compensation or even an apology for all the issues.
RENTERS BEWARE of Power outages and Roof leaks

This property is a cozy rustic home. So fun to enjoy the amazing view from every room. I love Asilomar beach. You can get on the trail just by crossing the street. Saw whales and sea lions from the front yard. And the sunsets were breathtaking. I definitely will book this home again!

fine decorated small vintage beach house with pacific sunset view right out of window. the location is unbeatable, 1 min walk to tidal pools and beach, grocery within 6 minutes and local restaurants close by. Property manager is very nice and responsive.

House is just as described online, clean and comfortable. The property manager was responsive and gracious. The location is superb, with easy walking access to sandy beaches and rocky tidepools. Crashing waves can be heard in all three bedrooms which the entire family appreciated! Due to a new local ordinance, only coal can be used in the fire pit in the front yard but wood was provided to enjoy a fire in the fireplace, which we took advantage of every night. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

The views and location make this rental well worth the price! Wished there was a dishwasher, but otherwise the home had all the necessary kitchen items and comforts. We loved seeing the hostās family photos and thinking of all the history and memories made in the house. Would definitely go back!

The location couldnāt be closer to the beach! 2 washers & 2 dryers makes it easy after a long day at the beach. Kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials-just a quick trip to 2 close by grocery stores to stock up on all your favorite snacks or enough food to cook for the entire group! Comfy beds, beautiful views from all 3 bedrooms and the sound of the crashing waves to lull you to sleep at night! Plenty of towels provided upstairs & down. Games for kids & adults are provided in cupboards in living room. TV in every room for entertainment. Close to the Aquarium, shops in Pacific Grove & Carmel & restaurants. 2 thumbs up!
