About this house rental
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

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.

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.

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.

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!

I recently stayed here with my sister and brother in law while we were visiting Monterey. The house was very cute and well maintained with comfortable beds, great central heat, and a lovely kitchen. Check in was clear and easy! Would highly recommend for a cozy retreat.

We loved our stay here! This was such a great house in a perfect location-central to everything in PG. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful and stress-free vacation. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

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!

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was great as there are walkable restaurants and the beach and walking trails nearby. I had one question that I emailed the property manager and he was super fast and professional with his response. My only complaint was that parking was sometimes tricky, as we had to park a block or two away when the spots in front of the house were full. But overall, the house served our needs perfectly!

Very clean, well kept property within equal walking distance to the beach or to downtown shops and restaurants.
Parking is only available on the street and can be a challenge.
Good communication on the check in process from the owner.
Overall a nice place and I would recommend.

The property was perfect for us. My Mom, sister and I came for my nephew’s wedding at the Memory Gardens. Perfect location and convenient to local restaurants and only 1 block to the beach. Good Old Days festival was a bonus!! Would definitely rent again! The only complaint from my companions was the lack of a full body mirror… lol

The property was wonderful. We love the location. Convenient walk to restaurants, bars, and the ocean. Only problem was poor communication from our host. I emailed him prior to arriving looking for a business center to print out some documents. I then texted him. I never got a response. On a second night the power went out around 8:30 PM. I immediately message Tim looking for candles, or flashlight. Again, zero response. So the rest of that night was in the dark.
5.0
The house was very nice, plenty of room for our 2 families, and just minutes to walk to Lover Point and the ocean side walk.
One thing I would change is to bring the King size bed downstairs for the older folks not interested in climbing stairs. The Rental agent was very helpful when the power went out on the entire penisula and beyond. Would stay again.

We liked this place very much. The neighborhood has a lot of historical significance and the proximity to the beach, cannery row and downtown Pacific Grove was awesome.
Beds were good. Kitchen great, everything worked. Parking was fine.

This was our second stay at the Salt box, we stayed there a year ago with my sister and brother in law and loved it.
We loved everything about our stay this trip, but with one exception. The construction work on the house next door started early every morning. I wish we would have been made aware of this before hand. Other than that, the home was clean and well maintained, the kitchen had all the essentials for cooking. We will be back!

This house is conveniently located between Lovers Point and Lighthouse. Unit is clean and updated. Kitchen is a little cramped but we were able to make do. The stairs leading up are most likely best for a younger adult as they are steep and have a short deck. Neighborhood is quiet but parking could be an issue. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great location in Pacific Grove. Walking distance to Lover's Point and downtown. Quiet neighborhood. Property worked well for me, my husband, my mother, and our 2 toddlers. My husband and I were in the upstairs main bedroom which shares a bathroom with the room that has 2 twin beds. My 3-year-old was in one of the twin beds and we brought a pack n play for our 1-year-old which fit well in the room. My mother had the room downstairs with her own bathroom. Would recommend this property.

This was a fantastic home in which to stay and my friends and I enjoyed everything about the home! Three of us stayed in the home and we each used one bedroom. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were great, the house is well equipped. There’s one large bedroom on the bottom floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. The stairs going up to the second floor are a bit steep, and the upstairs shower is a large step in tub. I recommend the bottom floor for anyone who has mobility issues. We had one question while we were there and sent an email to the property manager. The response was quick and completely answered our question. Super easy to communicate with the property manager! The kitchen, dining room, living room were very comfortable for three of us. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and down to the bay. Very accessible to nearby shops as well. The house is on a one-way street and most residents park on the street, so I recommend only taking one car to this residence. I have one recommendation for property management, which is to add a baking sheet to the collection of well-stocked kitchen items . We wanted to cook a pizza, but could not find a baking sheet. This house is well worth the stay; lovely, very clean, centrally located, and super cute! I hope to stay here again!!!

On a cousins’ weekend, we three had a lovely stay in this clean, quiet and spacious home, steps from the waterfront as well as restaurants on Lighthouse Ave. Great contact with VRBO management at all times- we highly recommend this delightful vacation rental and hope to come back again soon.

Nicely appointed beach house in Monterey. On street parking but never seemed to be an issue. Great location!

We loved our stay in Pacific Grove! This property was great for our family, including our toddler. It was walkable to the ocean, the main road downtown, and a park nearby. There were three great bedrooms with an extra office space attached to one of the bedrooms which gave us ample space for everyone to sleep. The kitchen is stocked with great cookware and made it easy for us to utilize. There is also a nice outdoor seating arrangement that was great for relaxing outdoors. We had no problems with street parking as well (and we brought three cars!). I would definitely recommend this property to folks!
