When we first stumbled upon this house on Vrbo it seemed almost too good to be true. It was a girls trip we had planned and thought there was a catch! Everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Michelle is the most thoughtful, and pleasant host. She provided us with all the information we needed doing our stay. The house is really comfortable, cozy, extremely clean and antique. The kitchen is commercial style with the cutest sitting nook and contains everything you need. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were also equipped with everything. I’m a tickler for towels and was so impressed with the high quality towels and bed linen that we were provided. We all felt like we were in our own home. The washer/dryer were high end and was such a convenient to return home with clean clothes we washed the towels we used daily. The outside patio area was cozy, the lights made the ambience even nicer while sipping on our wine. We walked and toured Pacific Grove which had such amazing shops and restaurants especially(Aliottia’s Victoria Corner) if you decide to eat there please ask for the server LEXIE she provided PHENOMENAL service, Winston’s, Beach House Restaurant at Lovers Point and The Red House Cafe. The beach was gorgeous. We stayed (5) days went to Carmel by the Sea had brunch at Clint Eastwood’s restaurant the “Mission Ranch” did the 17 Mile drive, went to Pebble Beach, the Monterey Jazz Festival. If I could give more than (5) stars I definitely would have.

We stayed here including my wife, two year old, and my mother and it was a fantastic setup for everyone. The place is spacious and has a wonderful patio with gas fireplace out back The location couldn’t be better in Pacific Grove since everything is so walkable. We’ll try and get this house again next time we’re back in the area.

Kitchen was fabulous and very comfortable and relaxing for 3 people!!

We are so happy that we found the Gratitude Inn for our recent Labor Day getaway in the Monterey Bay! The house is in a wonderful location, close to everything that you could want to do in the area, with shops and restaurants steps from the front door. We had everything we needed and more at this house that had modern amenities, all while keeping the home's vintage charm. Incredibly comfortable beds, a commercial style kitchen for any culinary adventure, an amazing library for reading and enjoying your morning coffee (I also did yoga here and it was perfect!). It was truly a wonderful stay! Thank you!

We had a great stay at this charming historic home. It was very clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed to cook basic meals, do laundry, etc. The location was super convenient, walking distance to Lover's Beach and the beach trail. While I want to be clear that this is a lovely house, and we very much enjoyed our stay here, there are some things to be aware of: it's directly across the street from a construction site, where they're building a large commercial building. Noise and privacy weren't problems for us, but don't expect a quiet residential neighborhood. The bathroom light switches are odd, my kids weren't able to work the lights during our entire stay, so we were constantly helping turn lights on and off. And finally, the kitchen is enormous and well-equipped, but it's a commercial kitchen so some things are a bit strange, like the open drain under the sink that splashes your feet! (Which my kids thought was hilarious, of course.) All that said, the home was clean, comfortable, and very convenient to everything we wanted to do. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

Perfect for a larger group that wants to have their own space but still be able to gather and spend time in community together. We were able to easily walk to so many different tourist locations. House amenities and space are amazing and we loved our stay. Only issue was there was so many flies on the patio that we were not able to go out there at all.

We had such a great time staying at this property. It was wonderful! Great location! Great space! We would stay again!

Everything listed about the property is accurate! The construction across the narrow street is not too bad at all. But parking is sparse! Only real parking is on the driveway, which can fit one car. Excellent location! The kitchen is bomb! Library nook is really cool. Things to just be aware of before you go… There is only one shower, as disclosed, and the water is very low flow, which is a bit annoying. Also there’s only ONE TV in the whole house, so if you like your TV time, this isn’t the ideal place for you. The windows all seem to be painted shut, which is inconvenient, but not a total deal breaker. But if you can get past those two things, this place is awesome! I would stay here again.

Great stay, live the house

The home was clean and perfect for our family of five! Close to many of the great places that Monterey had to offer! Would definitely book again!

This is truly a great location and property. The property was exceedingly clean and large enough for my family to have space. We enjoyed the beautiful kitchen. Overall, a very good experience.

Best VRBO (or AirB&B for that matter) that we have ever stayed in. Thanks for everything!

The Gratitude Inn was the PERFECT place to stay and base out of for my family & friends who were in town for my son's Carmel Valley Vineyard wedding. The house is so spacious and serene. We LOVED the outside area, with fireplace and evening cafe lights. All amenities are top-notch, including the SONOS sound system. Although only one shower, this was never an issue for us. The kitchen was AMAZING; even though we didn't do any cooking, we had everything we needed for serving up appetizers & cocktails. The location of Gratitude Inn is ideal for walking into town for eating, shopping, & browsing. Most of our time spent there was on the weekend so the construction did not bother us. On our last morning there the only sound from the construction site was the occasional beeping of a truck in reverse. We needed to contact the Maintenance Man twice (code wouldn't work, iron & ironing board were missing) and his response was instantaneous! It's great to know that you'll never be left to fend for yourself should an issue arise. Our only suggestion would be for guests to bring their own boxes of tissues and napkins: tissues were a few mini packs of airline-type tissues and napkins were non-existent. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Gratitude Inn!!!!!

The place was musty and old smelling. Very dated, lacks a second full bath. Very limited parking. Not a top of the list place for sure!

This was a former restaurant so the kitchen was amazing (for us non-professional chefs!) The location is nice, just a couple blocks from Lover's Cove (we scuba!). Noise wasn't too bad despite construction site across the street. Some fixtures need repair, bulbs replaced etc. but overall very nice. We would book again!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this house! The location was perfect for us, being a close walk to downtown for food and snacks, as well as a couple blocks from the beach. The kitchen was nice option to have and it was plenty of space of all of us to spread out if needed. We plan on coming again in the future!

My family of 5 (3 young kids) loved staying here. We came down for Cali Roots and wanted something spacious, somewhat affordable and close to the beach. The kitchen is a former commercial kitchen of some sort and was absolutely amazing to cook in. Cozy backyard deck. Cozy indoors with big spacious dinner table. Comfortable beds. Bathrooms and shower and bath were great. Super quiet neighborhood. Code lock on the door was very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay and would come back again!

Perfect place to stay on the coast.

The check-in process was extremely easy. The house is very comfortable and well-appointed. Plenty of soap, and location and towels. The kitchen also has everything you need. The location is great. There are amazing restaurants on on the street right above the house. Easy to walk to. The Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row are 1 mile away along the beach. The only complaint is the seagulls can be loud in the morning. There was one we named Phil who likes to sit on the roof and chat with his friends. Beyond that, it is a quiet area. Great location and host. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed this property for our family of six. The commercial kitchen was fun to use, as well as the nice private deck. It is right in the heart of a very cool neighborhood with lots of shops and great restaurants. And the bay is only a few blocks away. Thanks for the great memories!

I really enjoyed staying at the Gratitude Inn. I traveled solo, but felt that this space would be great place to spend time with friends or family. The house seems to be made for people to enjoy each other's company. The ad warned about the construction; but to be honest, once I was inside the home, it never bothered me. There are many options to dine close by and in the neighborhood, but the kitchen beckons one to cook. The Gratitude Inn is a gem and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Everything went beautiful!

Location is amazing. Place is a former restaurant so the layout is a bit weird and the bedrooms are very bright, thin walled and a bit loud. Hard to sleep in but extremely clean and easy.

Perfect for our family

Had a really nice stay here. The check in process was super easy and there was plenty of advance communication so I didn’t have to stress about figuring out how to check in. The property is a historic home, looks like it does in the pics, and it spotless. Everything you could want, from tons of kitchen supplies to plenty of TP, is there. Yes, there is some construction noise, but not much. It certainly didn’t bother me, and I was working for part of my visit. The seagull that liked to sit on the roof of the house was louder than the construction! The property is on a narrow street; it is a little difficult to get in and out of the driveway, but that’s not a big deal. The only constructive feedback I would provide is that it would be nice to have more curtains in the house. The living room, bedrooms and front door have window coverings but other windows didn’t. Otherwise, this was a great place to stay and I enjoyed my visit.

Great time and the property managers were responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. Strong recommend!

We had a great time being able to walk and take in the beautiful location, the house was roomy and the neighborhood was wonderful

In a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach, as well as Cannery Row

We stayed at here in July 2021 with 2 kids and 3 adults. The set up is a bit unique, but worked well for us. We are a family of 4 traveling with a college aged nanny. The location was excellent for us. Walking distance to the aquarium, Lover's Point and all the fab restaurants in PG. The house is in good condition and is well equipped for a weekly stay. We were remote working during our week, and the internet was generally strong enough for 2 of us to stay on video during conference calls. Things to note... - The set up is 3 bedrooms upstairs. There is no king or ensuite room. - There is only 1 full bath. There are two powder rooms downstairs outside the kitchen. This was a little limiting, but manageable for us. - The commercial kitchen was nice to have, though we were not able to get some elements (griddle, oven) to work. Could have been user error or they have been disconnected. - There are some original bedroom windows that do not close. And, the seabirds are plentiful, noisy and are early risers! Bring earplugs or rise early!

We really enjoyed our time at this property. It has everything we needed for a family friendly stay. The back deck, surround sound music, and easy walks to beach and dining make this an excellent choice. The construction is loud— but evenings are quiet and it didn’t bother us at all!

We had a great stay, the size of the home and location are excellent. The kitchen is wonderful, but sorely lacking in supplies. So don't expect to do much cooking. Only has 1 small skillet. The house doesn't have AC, which it doesn't need, but some fans would be really helpful to keep the air moving and guests comfortable.
