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

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.

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!

Perfect place for home base
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.

Chad & Julia’s wedding
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

Saltbox
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.

What a Ride
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.

Salt Box
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!

Nice PG stay
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
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.

Fantastic home!
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!!!
