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

Location is Wonderful

Saltbox's location is the best part about it. You can walk to Lover's Point, many restaurants and easy access to the coastal trail which we loved. It has some pretty steep stairs that were not ideal for our one year old walker and some very thin walls which was also not ideal for privacy amongst our other guests. Another issue we had was that the toilets didn't flush every time. They would flush if we manually filled the bowl or about every third try to flush.

Fabulous Property with Great Location

This property was true to all of the website photos and descriptions. It was extremely comfortable for five adults. The house was clean and well-supplied. We dealt with Michael and he provided prompt answers to any questions as well as very detailed info about what would be in the house for our use. Bedding and linens were top-notch. We'd be happy to return!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
