About this cottage rental

Cottage at the Cove is a lovely recently refurbished 1884 vintage Victorian located just steps from Lover's Point park and beach in the Retreat District. The oceanfront recreation trail leads you to the Point Pinos Lighthouse to the west and the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row to the east. The wonderful Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course is just around the corner. A 3 block walk to town will find you in the midst of Pacific Grove friendliness: shops for any and all necessities/frivolities, antiques and curios, grocery store, pharmacy, banks, bookstore, delightful restaurants and bakeries, library, museum, art galleries, historical gardens, various parks, and the four screen movie theater. Pacific Grove is a town without stoplights, still! Park your car at the cottage and enjoy Pacific Grove by foot.
Cottage at the Cove's broad sunny front porch with wicker furniture is the perfect spot to begin the day with coffee or tea. The charming rear garden is intimate and lovely.

When we went looking for a place to stay in Pacific Grove, we got such a great vibe from this listing. So classy and yet comfortable, a true vintage charmer. Barbara and her local team just do a beautiful job keeping this cottage in lovely condition. Barbara is delightful to coordinate with, and has everything really clearly laid out and accessible, with lots of suggestions on what to do in the area. It's in a great location on a quiet street with many things in walkable distance, and easy access to 17 mile drive, Big Sur, and in Monterey, the world class aquarium. We were so grateful to enjoy this "otterly" beautiful stretch of coast and this gem of a cottage. We hope to return again soon!

The cottage is complete in every way. It is spacious, well-appointed and comfortable. Pacific Grove is a relaxed, convenient location, with all the shops, cafes and restaurants you’ll need, and the cottage is close to the sea. Barbara was always accessible and pleasant to liaise with.

Loved the place! So many beautiful touches and items and the books, wow, so many from which to choose, yet, because the weather was absolutely gorgeous, none read! The kitchen was well stocked (we like to cook) and the dishes were beautiful and plentiful. The large jasmine outside the back door: blooming and so fragrant. Comfortable all the way around and did I mention the lovely additional touches! A short walk to Lovers Point, restaurants and paths along the water. Would love to come back!! Thanks Barbara!

To Anyone Going to Pacific Grove, Barbara's cottage is a wonderful, classic, historic place to stay, and its a 3ish minute walk to Lovers Point and to downtown! Plus, the bike path starts at Lovers Point, which goes to Cannery Row and beyond to the marina! Super fun, and relaxing... Enjoy ~ Doug & Heidi ~

This charming cottage is perfect for a relaxing getaway. It is sooo comfortable. My husband and I have been here several times before and will continue to return as we love it so much. It is impeccable, a most comfortable bed, a kitchen that is so adorable, so well equipped and just an enjoyable space. The library full of wonderful books along with beautiful artwork. We enjoyed the coziness of the fireplace with wine in the evening and coffee in the morning. The location is another big plus, close to "lover's point" and beautiful walk along the park and promenade. A quick walk to charming little town of P.G. with wonderful little shops and delicious restaurants. And Barbara, our host, always so quick to respond and give us a little history of the cottage that it feels so much like "our home away from home". Thank you Barbara for sharing your sweet gem with us.

My wife and I spent a week at the cottage. Pacific Grove offers so many opportunities to hike, bike or just enjoy the beautiful Oceanside views of seals and waves crashing in. The cottage was the perfect haven for cooking all our meals and it was well stocked with everything we needed. It was originally built in 1884, and Barbara has it decorated with many historical as well as modern touches. Just exploring the cottage and it’s history was an unexpected bonus. From the convenient parking, to playing games and watching deer walk by from front porch to the quick walk to the ocean this place had everything we could have wanted. We hope to come back soon.

Cottage at the Cove was everything a vacation rental could be, with its amazing location, cleanliness, ample supplies, coziness, and charm. Communication with the owner was fantastic. This property exceeded our expectations and we hope to return often!

The floor is a bit higgledy-piggledy, but that's part of the charm of an old cottage. Very quiet neighborhood. No earplugs needed! Very well equipped. Very clean. There is a natural gas heater in the dining room, and another natural gas "ambiance" heater in the entrance room. Turn the overhead fan on, and you'll be very comfortable.The bathroom is in the back, so it gets a bit chilly. Turning the electric heater on a few minutes before a shower takes care of that. The best part is how many things are within walking distance --- the ocean, a grocery store, restaurants, take-out places. Even the. aquarium is within reach. We parked our truck and didn't touch it for days. Super-fast internet (300+ mbps). Thanks, Barbara, for a memorable stay. We'll be back.

This property was exactly what we needed to relax and rejuvenate! The location was gorgeous - just a few blocks from the ocean and Lover's Point. We appreciated the fireplace on cool mornings and evenings in October. It felt like home to us!

Just returned from a 4 day/3 night stay at this well appointed cottage. Barbara was so easy to work with and allowed us to have an early check in and late checkout. Perfect location just a block away from Lovers Point. We walked the beachfront, golfed at Spanish Bay and Pacific Grove, visited the aquarium, Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf. PERFECT location that was near everything while also being quiet and peaceful. We would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Barbara!

I love this cottage. I spent a week here before the pandemic, and was looking forward to coming back. It did not disappoint. In addition to being immaculate and beautifully maintained, it has an overall welcoming warmth that is hard to describe. The weather was colder this time, so I ended up spending less time on the porch and more in front of the excellent fire. I especially love the kitchen, which is large and light-filled, and as fully equipped as any kitchen I have encountered (I am a lone traveler, so the lack of dishwasher has never been a concern). Barbara has clear directions about everything, and if you have any questions, she is quickly responsive. There are some lovely paintings, and a fine, eclectic selection of books, including many about Pacific Grove.

This cozy, light-filled 1884 cottage is just a block from Lovers Point in Pacific Grove so we were able to walk along the sea every day accompanied by egrets, pelicans and harbor seals. Even walked to the Farmers Market, restaurants and museum. Our host Barbara was so thoughtful and easy to communicate with.

We have stayed in this cottage many times, its location just a block from downtown Pacific Grove and two blocks from the ocean (and bike path) is ideal. The inside is immaculate and comfortable, with a good heater and gas fireplace in the living room. It includes passes for various sites and even a nice bottle of wine! For the first time, however, parking was less convenient. The parking is on the street, and there has always been space for our single vehicle nearby the cottage. However, during this four-day visit, there was not, it appeared that another property was using multiple vehicles. Its not a big deal, we were able to park within about two blocks on another street.

This historic cottage was spotless and decorated nicely. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedroom and living room were very comfortable, and it was cool enough for me to use the fireplace. It was great to be one block from the beach and be able to walk to Cannery Row (about 1 mile) and downtown PG (up the street). The neighborhood was so quiet and I'm looking forward to returning. A VRBO trip is always better when the host responds quickly and leaves some personal touches in the house and Barbara did just that. Thank you!

I have always wanted to stay at one of these historical houses in Pacific Grove. This house did not disappoint. Although old, it is well taken care of. Between the housekeeping, the gardening, the lovely note and welcome bottle of wine, you feel at home. So many wonderful thoughtful comforts added. Every little space utilized. We walked the Lover’s Point trail each morning with coffee, which is only a block away. Full kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in. We were in town for a music festival so we didn’t get to use the aquarium passes, but so generous that they’re provided. I will definitely come back to stay again. This is a perfect gem for a couples trip.
