Bellisima - Pacific Grove House - Oceanview Luxury
You'll feel like you're on the Riviera in this stunning Mediterranean just a block from the beach. Prepare to be dazzled: panoramic bay views by day and sparkling city lights by night. Sea views abound from the living areas and the balcony (with a bistro table and barbecue). Leather sofas face the large flat screen TV and an ornate gas fireplace. Upstairs, two cozy alcoves house a small bar and a game/computer table, and there's a full bath with a tub/shower and a guest room with two twins. Downstairs, a den (with twin sleeper chairs) and a large flat panel TV is tucked off the entry. The master has an en suite bath with a tub/shower, and the third guest room and the den share a full bath with shower. Outdoors, step through iron gates to a leafy lower garden and a private patio complete with a bubbling fountain. Lavender and lemons, hydrangea and honeysuckle… is this Pacific Grove, or Portofino?

Excellent location, amenities
This is our third time in this wonderful vacation home. The location is excellent for walking and quiet enjoyment offering easy access to ocean walk path.
One concern is determining if the down hill neighbor would allow top trimming of one of the trees that will soon obstruct the balcony ocean view.

Bellisima
Great house and beautiful views. We equiped kitchen and cooking supplies. The only down side was the mattress in the double bedroom. One of our guest weighs only 95lbs and the other had a bad back and weighs 175lbs. The mattresses were too soft for good back support. The pull out loveseat couches downstair were extremely uncomfortable and should not be counted in the overall head count for the house.
We had a great time and would return with new mattresses.
Thank you,
Teresa
This is a fantastic vacation home- well appointed, bright, accommodating my family extremely well. The location was close to hiking trails, restaurants, Monterey Aquarium, activities such as kayaking, and golf. The view through the large windows was just awesome!
It was myself, MIL, SIL and SIL mom. We did this retreat for my MIL's Christmas gift 2019. Finally, with COVID and other family matters, we were able to go. The house is so cute, comfy, and centrally located. The view of the ocean was fantastic. We had so much fun looking through the telescope watching the sea otters. We would absolutely stay at this property again!

Bellisima Monterey
Bellisima is the perfect getaway, as well as property in which to work remotely. The views of and proximity to Lover’s Point were exceptional. This is a very large property that can afford privacy as well as large dining and kitchen areas. We were easily able to cook our entire Thanksgiving dinner together. Theirs is a well apportioned property. The management is very responsive.

Bellisima Home
We have rented homes in various places. Some of them have been in cities, and small towns. Some have been in the mountains and by the ocean. Never have we rented a home that was as beautiful or as well equipped as the Bellisima!! Everything form Q-tips in the master bath, to every appliance you could think of. Loved the coffee bar! Puzzles and books and movies were helpful in the quarantine part of the visit.
The house was emasculate! The views were breathtaking ever single day.
Thank you for supplying sand/beach toys used by our grandchildren..even though there were few sunny days, they were well used the few days the kids were there with us.
We left 114 degree weather to enjoy the beauty of Pacific Grove and the kind people there.
All you beed when you rent this home, is your clothes and go to grocery for food and drink. We went to the Farmer's Market every Monday, and enjoyed the local produce and fresh flowers.
Compliments to the owners.
If you rent this home, you will not be disappointed!!

1.Provided all the necessities
2. Very Clean
3. Beautiful views of Monterey Bay
4. Walking distance to the bay
5. Close to PG golf course.
6. Close to PG downtown
7. Close to Cannery Row
8. Very comfortable
Our overall experience was wonderful. There were a few issues with the property. The double story is nice but very difficult for those sleeping downstairs. The noise upstairs when people are up and about is very unsettling. We enjoyed the property but the courtyard down behind the driveway and garage is not keep up and must be a smoking area when the weather is good. Overall we had a wonderful time enjoying the view and being together.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The accommodations were wonderful and thoughtful.

Perfect stay
We stayed here for my mother's 70th. The house was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. The location is not only a couple blocks from the wonderful coastal trail, but also a couple blocks from stairs to a small beach with tide pools. We walked to the Monterey Aquarium. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful property with expansive ocean views n overlooking PG golf course, had coffee watching deer ambling on the course lawns every morning, walking distance to downtown n Monterey rec trail. Just Bring your own favorite ground coffee (there are two coffee makers in the house)
This is a beautiful property and they've thought of everything! We really enjoyed ourselves during our stay with 8 of our family for the Monterey Jazz Festival! The property manager was extremely responsive when we had a plumbing issue, and even went the extra mile when we had a concern about the fold out chair and a half! We could not have been happier with this place, location, amenities, comfort, kitchen ( everything!!) and parking. You will love it so book now!
Great location to all the area has to offer. My parents enjoyed the stay to celebrate their anniversary.

First Class Service & Accomodations
Could not have asked for a more comfortable stay in an absolutely perfect location. What made it even better is Michelle's superior service, including quick responses and care to make certain we were happy. Thank you Michelle and Monterey Bay PM!! Keep up the fantastic effort!
This was, by far and away, the most well-appointed luxurious (yet SO comfortable!) estate we have ever had the pleasure of renting. Add in the oceanviews, access to the beach less than a block away and the per night price being HALF of what we are used to and you have the most appreciative renters you could ever imagine. Run... don't walk. Rent this gem immediately... just not during the fitst week in June. That is our new "Bellisima Annual Trip" date!

LOVELY HOME
We have stayed at Bellisima for the last 5 years. It is such a lovely home in a beautiful setting. The floor plan really suits our family. It is spacious without being too large. The house has all you could need to make the stay enjoyable. Our family has made so many good memories there and always look forward to returning.

Perfect Pacific Grove visit!
Our stay at Bellisima was fantastic! This has been one of my favorite home rentals. The house was so well equipped and comfortable. The location was great and the view looking out over the water was so beautiful! Monterey Bay Rentals made the process easy, and were so responsive and personable when I had a question or two ahead of time. We would definitely rent this home again!

Beautiful home
Everything was great and so much was provided. The only issue we found was with the 2 convertible couches downstairs. One had a broken frame which made it difficult to handle. Other than that we would definitely rent this place again.

Terrific home in a perfect location
3 bedroom home with a small living space with chairs that fold out into beds was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 3 teenagers. This home has wonderful views on the upstairs level. It worked perfectly for us!
