About this property

6-Bedroom Oceanfront Masterpiece in Pacific Grove, CA. From S1400 for 8 guests

No need to fight over who gets the ocean view in this fabulous 6-bedroom, 4-bath home on a private, rocky beach! With 270 degrees of blue-water views, four of the bedrooms have full views of the Pacific and Monterey Bay. The fifth and sixth bedrooms have a quiet courtyard view just in case somebody doesn't like to go to sleep to the sound of the waves, or watch the moon sinking into the sea at night.

Our home, known since 1929 as Rocky Shores, is minutes from Carmel and Cannery Row in Monterey, and Pebble Beach is our neighbor. We operate under Pacific Grove's short-term rental license #468.

We have a fully stocked gourmet kitchen - and the cook gets an ocean view, too. Dining table seats 10, 14 with extension. Foosball, pinball, ping pong, Legos, art and drawing supplies, puzzles, games and other toys for the kids. Steinway grand piano for the musically inclined. Off-street parking for six cars is available.

Working on vacation? We have 5 workstations available, in separate rooms, and free high-speed wifi.

Trip Advisor has chosen Pacific Grove as one of the top 12 scenic destinations in the United States! And there is no more beautiful home base than Rocky Shores to explore our wonderful town. Surf, snorkel, or comb the beautiful beaches and coves. Make S'mores at a bonfire on our secluded beach.

Nice restaurants just two blocks away. Fabulous Pacific Grove golf course is across the street. Downtown Pacific Grove is 1.5 miles away, with movie theater, farmers' market, restaurants, coffee houses, antiques, shops, bakeries, parks, library and natural history museum. The world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row are about 2 miles away, as is Monterey's Fishermen's Wharf. Wine tasting in Carmel Valley is 30 minutes away. Big Sur is about 45 minutes away. John Steinbeck Museum is about 35 minutes away. We have a whole-house Rainsoft water conditioning system, Guardian Technologies advanced air purifier for the den [its pre-filter captures initial dust and allergen particles, its activated carbon filter traps and controls odors, and its UV-C Light works with Titanium dioxide to help eliminate airborne germs]. We also have a triple-filtration, reverse osmosis drinking water fountain in the kitchen. No need to lug bottled water here! Our home is perfect for your family reunion, corporate retreat, girls' vacation, work/stay, or romantic hideaway!

Wonderful home and location!

I can’t say enough about this wonderful house. As some other reviewers have noted it isn’t as sterile or hotel-like as other rentals. It feels like a home, which helps make you feel Immediately comfortable. You can’t find a better location on the Monterey Peninsula. The tranquility you’ll feel watching the sunsets while sitting behind the house is unmatched. And the tide pooling is ridiculous! My kids spent the better part of each low tide exploring the rocks (the Great Tide Pool is a 5 min walk). Kirstie and Hannah are terrific and willing to help as much or little as you might need. I miss the sea smell immensely.

Fantastic Home in an Unbelievable Location

This house truly delivers on the idea of renting an 'ocean front' property. While you are there you are surrounded by the sound and views of the ocean, and the beach is just a handful of steps off the back door. We spent hours with our pre-teen kids on the beach at low tide investigating all the tide pools. Whether it was on the couch with morning coffee, a drink at sunset, or from the hot tub, we never got tired of the view.The house was lovely -- there's ample space and the rooms were all incredibly comfortable. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed, and since we often prefer to cook this was a huge plus for us.Lots of fun activities for the kids between the pinball machine, ping pong, a puzzle table, the hot tub, and the beach. Also a quick drive to the aquarium and cannery row.Was a magical trip, and everyone in the family is already asking when we can go back!

Fabulous place

We had 9 members of our family together to celebrate a special birthday. The home is right on the ocean with gorgeous views of the sunset. Every room is comfortable, and the kitchen is equipped with whatever you could need. When we had one little problem the owner responded immediately to fix it. There is so much to do in the area, but if you never left the house, you'd be perfectly happy!

Wonderful family gathering

Our family, all from out of state, gathered here for Thanksgiving, 2024. The location is incredible, literally on the coast. There are so many things to do in this area we could’ve stayed here much longer, but some needed to return to work. The house was built in 1928 and still retains some quirks, but it has been extensively and attractively remodeled. We agree with the many other 10/10 reviews.

Family Reunion Vacation

We had an awesome 5 day multi-generational family vacation thanks to the hospitality of Kirstie. The house was gorgeous and was stocked with everything you could possibly want or need. The location was perfect, and we were close to many restaurants and shops; and there were many activities for us to do. The views were spectacular, and we could see otters and whales right from the windows of the home. Kirstie was available to answer all questions, and she made us feel very comfortable and right at home. We highly recommend this vacation rental!

Our family had a wonderful time at your beach home. We mostly cooked all our meals at the house. We used the barbarque for great outdoor cooking as well as the kitchen stove top and oven. Loved the large dining room table for family get togethers and the views of the ocean , tides and rocks were amazing. The kids used the hot tub and enjoyed it immensely. Would love to go back in the future. Thanks for sharing your home with our family. 😊. Jim

Family Reunion at Rocky Shores

We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday last week with family members from Arizona, San Diego, Washington, and San Jose, and we had a marvelous time! Kirstie and Hannah were lovely and such gracious hosts, and we can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The house was perfect for our group, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel, and more! The house was immaculate and oh so comfy. Most of us spent a good part of our week enjoying walks on the beach and exploring the amazing tide pools. We prepared dinners every night in the spacious, beautiful kitchen, and all the comforts of home were available for cooking and BBQ'ing. This was definitely a 10 out of 10 experience and we would love to visit again in the future!

Amazing Thanksgiving location

Our family stayed at this wonderful Pacific Grove home over Thanksgiving. The home is a bit on the older side with some quirkiness here and there, but has been updated with most all the modern conveniences you could want. There are also some very cool and unusual features like a real operating pinball machine, a Steinway player piano and a modern jacuzzi. But the real killer feature is the location. There are other homes that overlook the ocean in Pacific Grove, but hardly any of them are on the ocean side of the road with no obstructions to the water. You literally look out the windows and see the waves crashing on the rocks. You can also see tons of pelicans flying by and sea otters frolicking in the surf. Watching the sunset while sitting in the jacuzzi is just ridiculously beautiful. We had a great time staying at this very special home.

Once you walk into this beautiful home, you won't want to leave. Our family of 8- All adults, came to celebrate a birthday.The kitchen has all the appliances you could need. The gas stove is easy to use, and the refrigerator is stocked with most any condiments you would need. So stop in first before you shop. The view alone will make you just want to sit and relax. And the spa is a wonderful place to be after a day out ( or in). We just loved it.

Serenity in the serene

The house is a dream for those that are looking to get away and be right in the heart of the Monterey, PG, Carmel experience. One of two homes that are directly on the ocean, this two-story was a uniquely refreshing stay for my group as we worked an event at the nearby Laguna Seca track. There are so many cool little touches to the house that make it feel like a home. A lot of VRBOs feel like they have been sanitized to be more of a hotel than a house. We really enjoyed watching movies in the theater room on the laserdisc, they have quite the collection of Laser discs, DVDs and VHS. The kitchen was very well equipped and having the gas grill made it very easy to make meals at night. Rooms were well sized and offered different options for those that stayed there. Having four showers was great for quick exits in the morning to get to the track. The "hidden bedroom" was really special and had some of the best windows to look out onto the ocean. Kirstie and Hannah are great hosts and were extremely communicative and accommodating throughout the stay. Their recommendations for things to do and see around the area as well as some of the special things that can offer at the house were of interest, but unfortunately we could not take advantage of.

Oceanfront location a real treasure!

This was a family vacation with 10 adults (6 over 70) and 2 children. The house and location worked for everyone. We had a wonderful time! In addition to the games and crafts they brought with them, the kids loved the pinball machine, the tidepool, the player piano. They had their first snorkeling experience at Lovers Point and four of us pedaled a surrey with them to the breakwater to see the sea lions. We all walked the path from the house toward Lovers Point every day. The chairs overlooking the ocean were well used. Bliss! Adults had fun with the ping pong table and we all loved the hot tub. We cooked and ate mostly at home, except for a special dinner in Fandango's wine room for a 50th anniversary celebration. Truly a memorable time. Thanks you VRBO and Kirstie for making this oceanfront tresasure available.

Amazing location and well appointed home

We stayed here for a week with our adult children and grandchidren. Hannah met us when we arrived and gave us a tour that introduced us to the property and all of its quirkiness (in a good way). It was quiet and comfortable and had every amenity we could ask for, from the chefs kitchen, the hot tub, the fire pits, and of course the Pinball machine which got exercised regularly (963,000 points here, killing the competition from the millennials!). The views are amazing. A great find and I highly recommend staying at this jewel in pacific grove.

About the host

Hosted by Kirstie Wilde

Host profile image
My family has been blessed to spend 35 years in one of only two beachfront homes in Pacific Grove. You will love staying here, too! Our short-term rental license is #468.

Why they chose this property

We bought our home because it was the only home directly on the beach in all of Pacific Grove. It was extremely private, with a golf course across the street, State Park surrounds us, and the blue Pacific is our backyard. We have a full acre of private property. Another residence has since been built next door, on its own acre of land. A portion of our stone driveway is shared by both homes.

What makes this property unique

I love to look out my window and see the full moon casting sparkling light onto the dark waves as it sinks to the horizon. On clear evenings, the sunsets are spectacular. The morning sunrise casts a pink glow on the waves. And when it is foggy, there is a magic about the property that is enhanced with a roaring wood blaze in the fireplace, or a glass of wine in the hot tub.
