About this property

Steps to ocean. Across the street from the Municipal Golf Course. License 0020

Located steps from Lovers Point, this cozy romantic retreat sleeps 2. Walk to the beach, town, or golf course, and be greeted by the small-town friendliness for which Pacific Grove is famous. The bike/pedestrian path follows the coastline from Pacific Grove to Fort Ord and is 75 steps from the cottage. The bike path takes you to the Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf with spectacular ocean vistas.. Excellent restaurants within walking distance.
The cottage is an easy drive to Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Monterey. A complimentary bottle of wine awaits your arrival.

Come to the exciting Pacific Ocean and watch frolicking otters, take long walks along the bike path (100 steps from our front door) for miles along the Pacific Ocean.: See sea birds swimming in the surf; monarch butterflies landing in the trees; waves breaking against a sandy beach, and seals calving at Hopkins Marine Station beach.

Leave your cares at the door. The cottage offers tranquility that will restore your spirits. We offer coffee, tea, water, and a complimentary bottle of wine to help you settle in as well as paper products and all linens and kitchen equipment.

Restaurants, shops : Everything you need to stock your cottage is within 10 minutes of the cottage. Walk 1 block to the beach-side grill with clam chowder in sour dough bowls with spectacular views of the cove and the open sea beyond. Walk 3 blocks to LIghthouse Avenue where a myriad of restaurants and cafes await you along with little shops for browsing and boutiques with stylish clothes. Enjoy a spa treatment 2 blocks away at Amara Spa or have a manicure on Lighthouse Ave. See a movie at our theater on Lighthouse Ave. Walk l mile to the Tin Cannery (outlets), the Aquarium, and Cannery Row which offer shopping, dining and exhibits.

The cottage has 7 steps from the curb to the front door and a slight, 4" rise from the sun room into the living room. The glass-enclosed, shower over tub has one grab bar. Our Pacific Grove License is 0020.

The Sea Foam Cottage is a delightful and cozy retreat. Jill has gone the extra mile to make it welcoming and comfortable. I’ve already recommended it to friends and family. The location is perfect. Just a short walk to Lover’s point and all that Lighthouse Ave has to offer.

Very enjoyable
First and foremost, you have a wonderful cottage. It was clean, well appointed and close to the water. We had a delightful stay and if we are able to return, this will be our first choice. So, what follows are NOT criticisms, but rather suggestions that might make it even better. We sincerely hope that you will see them in that light. - I tried to take a bath but found I could not make water hot enough that may well be just me. In any case we tried to heat water on stove. It took longer than expected to get burner to ignite - which it did. In the process there was a significant gas smell. It worried me enough that I looked for a gas shut off in the gas line generally behind stove. There is none and this doesn’t seem wise. - a grab bar across from toilet would be greatly beneficial to those less mobile. - like me. - tried to take out garbage per your request. Assumed I should take across street like others we saw, since there were none on our side. They were still full Wednesday night. Will check again in morning before we leave. Better instructions might help. (As of Thursday morning still not emptied so I returned them to house side) - there are pads on each stair coming in, some which are not attached. I lost balance once when pad slipped away. - refrigerator instructions little confusing. Were we supposed to shut it off and then leave door ajar after wiping down door seal? Or not shut it off? Was that sign meant for refrigerator? I do hope these comments wi

Great Place!
The location of the cottage is fantastic. It's just around the corner from the beach. The check in and check out process is very simple. The property was very clean. The owner is very easy to get in touch with by text. The unit is very comfortable. I loved having an eat-in kitchen and that great old gas stove to cook with.

A Gem Near The Beach
We celebrated our wedding anniversary at this adorable cottage. Everything was perfect. The owner has thought of everything to make it full of comfort and stocked full of amenities. The location could not have been any better. Walking distance to the beach, stores, restaurants and easy street parking right in front of the house. Pacific Grove is an amazing town and we will be back again next year to enjoy this beach cottage gem.

Host profile image
I am a native of California and love the central and southern coasts. We enjoy sharing our cottage and lovely coastal town with our guests.

Why they chose this property

I vacationed in Pacific Grove as a young girl with my family. My husband learned Russian at the Defense Language Institute when he was stationed in Monterey while in the service. We loved the area and it kept calling to us.

What makes this property unique

The closeness of the water's edge and the friendliness of the residents make this an exceptional place to vacation and relax.
