About this property

Saltbox - Pacific Grove House - Two Blocks to Beach and Downtown!

Ready for a great vacation in “America’s last hometown?” This is it. You’ll find vintage charm around every corner in this classic Pacific Grove home. The cozy living room (with seating for four) opens to the dining area (with a table that expands to seat 6) and a coffee station (with a Keurig and a drip coffee maker). Sparkling quartz countertops and a beautiful tile backsplash highlight the kitchen, which includes a four-burner gas range with a griddle, a rolling butcher block island, and a 24” dishwasher. The laundry room is behind the kitchen, along with a full bath with a curved shower. The light-filled bedroom off the entry has a Queen bed, comfortable reading chair, and an adjoining office with a desk. A narrow stairway leads to the master bedroom (King) and a third guestroom with twin beds. The upstairs bath has a clawfoot tub/shower. Relax in the sunshine in the Adirondack chairs out front, barbecue out back, stroll to the beach, or head downtown to explore restaurants, cafes, galleries, boutiques, antique shops, and a cinema. With everything in easy walking distance, you may park your car and never use it. Street parking only. Pacific Grove Transient Use License #0472

This home was in a perfect location for us! We got to take nightly walks along the water, to restaurants, and to the aquarium and monarch sanctuary. Cozy home. Kitchen well stocked.

A Little Gem

We had a fantastic stay at the Saltbox. It was the perfect size for our family and was stocked with everything we needed. Parking was a challenge, particularly on the night of our late arrival, but we made it work and got to brush up on our parallel parking skills. We loved the location and the quick access to PG, Pebble and Monterey. We can't wait to return next year.

Comfortable stay

Fantastic remodeled old home. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and it was in close proximity to the water. Only downside, which wasn’t a big deal, is that parking is limited to the street.

Ladies’ Trip to see the Monarchs

Great location and the home away from home for four days for five women friends meeting from three different states. The main floor bedroom and bath was perfect for accessibility needs.

This house was clean, an adequate size and, most appreciated, was close to the water's edge so our hiking could start easily.

Perfect location

Saltbox was a wonderful place to stay, had we been there longer we could have taken advantage of the well stocked kitchen for longer stays. The beds were very comfortable. I appreciated the bedroom/bath with walk in shower on the first floor for my mother who can't do stairs. It was the perfect distance to walk down to the water each morning to watch the sunrise and close for walking to the restaurants/shops. The communication was easy and we had no issues with our stay.

Charming

Salt box was a perfect choice for the 4 of us. The location couldn’t have been better, we never drove anywhere. Shops, restaurants, the beach, movie theatre and museum were all an easy short walk. The kitchen was well stalked as well. Anything we needed for cooking was there. Very enjoyable stay.

West Coast Fun

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect for 2 couples. Well supplied and very comfy. Great location and walkable to the water and restaurants. Cute town and everyone was so friendly! Thanks!! My only suggestion would be a patio umbrella for the table out back. Could keep in the shed when not being used.

Perfect family spot

This small house was the perfect place for our family to gather for 3 days and enjoy the ambience of the Monterey area. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, always appreciated, and the neighborhood was quiet. We were even able to always find a parking place nearby on the tiny street.

Everything Was Perfect

We enjoyed our stay at Saltbox immensely! The location was amazing! We enjoyed walking down to Lover's Point daily and loved being able to walk to yummy restaurants for breakfast or dinner. And property itself was perfect for our family. It was cute, clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the local guide books and the game collections. The owner was very communicative leading up to our stay, which was greatly appreciated. I would love to return to Saltbox in the future! Thank you for the perfect getaway!

Loved Saltbox!

The house is located in the perfect spot. The house was clean and very comfortable to relax in. My friends and I loved how we could easily access downtown Pacific Grove. We rented a car and enjoyed being so close to enjoy Monterey, Carmel by the Sea, and Big Sur. The house will have everything you could possibly need. The only recommendation I would make is to have one full length mirror. Definitely recommend Saltbox!

Comfortable and Well Situated

House was clean and very well situated with Lovers Point Beach and Lighthouse Ave both easily in walking distance. Parking is pretty bad as the one way street allows parking only on one side. There is currently construction going on both next door and across the street so there is daytime noise and even more limits in parking so the construction workers can park. No off street parking that we could see. Kitchen was well stocked and note about no condiments and stuff seemed outdated as that stuff was there to a point. There was even a small amount of coffee pods for the Keurig but if you drink much coffee, bring your own. It is overpriced for sure.

Fabulous stay in Pacific Grove

This was a fantastic place to stay. Everything so clean and well equipped…loved the puzzles! And the coffee making apparatus is the BEST!! (Get beans from Captain+Stoker a few blocks away on Forest.) Back patio was lovely. Really comfortable communal space of kitchen, dining, living areas. Two minute walk to ocean and the seal pups, two minute walk to cafes and shops. Great location for a day trip to Big Sur.
