The neighborhood

Pacific Grove is a beautiful small beach town with a relaxed atmosphere. There are plenty of beach access and scenic hiking/biking trails from our home.
The house is on 17 Mile Drive and backs to a little alley road that runs along a gorgeous, wooded park. If you visit us during the months of October through February, you can witness the magic of the Monarch butterfly migration. The Monarch Sanctuary is just around the corner!

The Links at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach, Carmel River State Beach, Carmel Mission, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Fisherman's Wharf are all a very short drive away.
Take a ten minute drive south to Carmel's white sand beaches, where you can enjoy a picnic and bonfire until midnight. Enjoy the downtown, or play a round of golf at Pebble Beach.
Drive another ten minutes south to find the beautiful Point Lobos Reserve and the California Sea Otter Refuge. You could also drive on down to Big Sur and beyond along the scenic Hwy One.

Other things to note

•If you are arriving after dark, please note that the house is in a forested neighborhood and some street signs are hard to see at night. So please map out the route for your convenience.
•The house is on the famous 17 Mile Drive, so expect some tourist traffic during the day. The back street (almost an alley) is quiet.
•Pacific Grove Ball Park is 500 ft away. Kids games are sometimes on weekends and you could hear some cheering voices from the garden.
•The front entry has six steps and the back entry has four.
•The lot has ranch style fencing and is open to the streets from the front and back. Please supervise your young children if they are out in the garden.
•Refrigerator tends to fill up with good food left behind by other guests. So I recommend checking the refrigerator before going shopping.
•Deer roam around in the property and in the neighborhood. Please drive slow coming down the back street as they like to visit our yard. Please do not feed them.
•Switchable night lights provided for your safety at night.
•Emergency card with useful information is on the refrigerator. First aid kit and flash light are in the bench storage in the mudroom by the back entry. The fire extinguisher is under the kitchen sink. Please use the fire extinguisher only for true emergencies.
•We have a Raccoon family visiting us at night to checkout the outside garbage bin. I have put a bungee cord across the lid to avoid them getting into it. Please secure the cord back when you use the garbage bin. Thank you.
•Our neighborhood is woodsy and close to natural protected land and can get very dark at night. The flash light (provided) comes in handy for night walks. Also recommend downloading the flashlight app if you have an iphone.
