Sweet Pea - Pacific Grove House - Walk to Beach and Town

Experience the vintage charm of Pacific Grove in this two-bedroom/two bath seaside cottage. It's close to Jewell Park, a short stroll from Lover’s Point Beach—and just a few blocks from the shops and restaurants lining Lighthouse Avenue.  You’ll feel warm and welcome with a gas fireplace, a cheerful, country-style kitchen, and a small patio with a barbeque. Period touches abound, from the brass Queen bed downstairs to the white clawfoot tub on the upper level. There is a full bath with a tub/shower on the ground floor, and a second full bath upstairs along with two twin beds and an office nook. Street parking only. Pacific Grove Transient Use License #410.

Perfect accommodation

Sweet Pea was perfect for our needs. We could walk to the bay and to town. Our son was golfing at Pebble Beach, which was just a short drive away. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean and we lived sitting in the sun on the porch in the late afternoon. It was a great stay.

We loved the location of this home because we were close to the harbor in one direction and close to lots of great restaurants and shops in the other direction. If you are traveling by car be aware that there is only street parking available.

Cozy Stay with Sisters

This was a second time staying at Sweet Pea Cottage and we loved it! The cottage is so cute and in the perfect location. We walked to the coast and to the shops and restaurants. We are 3 sisters and were visiting relatives in the area. There was plenty of space for us, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen met our needs. We loved sitting by the fireplace in the morning and at night, catching up with each other. We are looking forward to our stay next year.

Clean, quaint, convenient, and comfortable

We drove to Sweet Pea, parked right in front of the house, and walked everywhere (including the Aquarium). The accommodations were spotless, we had everything we needed to prepare meals, and we slept soundly. During some windy periods the screens rattled a wee bit, but those were the only interruptions to our serenity. We would definitely return.

Adorable Victorian Excellent Location

The house is an adorable tiny Victorian. The location is amazing. You can walk everywhere. The only thing I would recommend is more blankets. A throw on the sofa would be nice. However, we were fine without them or we would have asked for them.

Perfect family stay

We are a family of four, with a 6yo and an infant. This house was perfect for our needs. It was really cozy and peaceful. We appreciated having a full bathroom on each floor. The location was perfect, and we didn’t drive all weekend except the 5 minutes to get to the aquarium. The beach, cafes, restaurants, and a great market are all 2-4 blocks away. The house is outdated, which I was worried about from the listing, but it wasn’t really an issue because the house was so clean and well maintained.

Sweet Pea

Perfect location, 5 minute walk to the water and restaurants, stores, and bars. Fully equipped kitchen (cutting board and full size baking sheet would be a nice addition, but we’re cooks!) Beds were comfortable. Upstairs bathroom was doable, but some type of shower curtain addition would be perfect. Parking was never a problem. Neighbors were fantastic with numerous suggestions about the area.

Summer Fun in Cool Monterey

I took 2 of my granddaughters to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This cute little house has lots of personality and quirks and we loved it. So much better than a hotel room. My younger grand fell in love with her "fluffy soft" bed and they enjoyed having the privacy of the entire 2nd floor. So did I. I had to remember how to parallel park. I think it's been 30 years since I had to do that. Staff very helpful too.

Great location, clean, but needs tlc

Sweet Pea is a perfect little house for 2+ . We truly enjoyed our stay, especially the close proximity to the beach. Bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms are clean. The window sills could use some cleaning and the kitchen table is beyond sticky, it could probably use a new coat of sealant. The back garden area doesn’t reflect the pictures and the fireplace doesn’t work. For the price we paid, we expected a bit more.

Rennsport Reunion 7

Such a sweet little Victorian home to stay in for 5 days. Plenty of room for 3 adults. It was warm and cozy-very enjoyable and quiet. Parking isn’t guaranteed in front of the house but we always found a spot either further down the street or on one of the adjacent streets. Lovers Point is literally at the bottom of the street and features restaurants and areas to sit and take in the gorgeous views of the bay. The bike path is a beautiful, easy going stroll from Lovers Point in Pacific Grove all the way to Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey. The Sweet Pea is a perfect place to relax.

An okay stay

Overall the property is clean and fairly cute. It is old and has not been updated so floors are slanty, windows are weathered with peeling paint and layout is SO ODD with the bathroom door right next to the stove in the kitchen. And it’s tiny. I actually nicknamed it “The Mouse House.” But the price was reasonable for the area. We did love that there were 2 full bathrooms though. I felt we needed more towels (6 bath towels for 4 people for 4 days) as we don’t want to spend time doing laundry. Upstairs remote batteries were dead, and the grill had no propane. We had a planned pre-race dinner with 7 people and that was a real irritant as I even mentioned it days before we arrived. Never got a reply back from property manager about it. There wasn’t a single platter for serving a meal. Not enough kitchen utensils (big spoons, forks, a cheese grater, serving bowls). These are the basics. Overall, a reasonably priced place in a great location but lacking in the details.
