Sleeps 2 A romantic hideaway made just for two awaits you near Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, just steps from the Beach and the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail, and within easy walking distance of downtown dining and shopping. Watch twinkling lights on the bay in the evening from this upper story loft, or during the day, view ... The space ...waves, whales and fishing boats on the water. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath home is a perfect place to enjoy the best of the Monterey Peninsula, since it's conveniently located near some of the region's prime attractions, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Monarch Sanctuary, and Asilomar. Stunning views from the edge of the bay are available from the nearby rec trail, which links Pacific Grove with Monterey, Seaside and Marina, for those who want to bike or walk around the area. It's easy to park the car and walk to nearby attractions! Monterey and Cannery Row are just a few minutes' away by car, and it's just a 10-minute drive to a variety of other attractions, such as quaint Carmel-by-the-Sea or world-class golf and sightseeing in Pebble Beach®. Wine tasting and winery tours in Carmel Valley are just 20 minutes' away, and the natural wonders of Big Sur are about 40 minutes' away. This is a perfect home base for day-tripping up and down the central California Coast from the San Francisco Bay area to the north and Big Sur and Paso Robles to the south. Living Space The elevated 450-square-foot flat with comfortable, eclectic beach decor offers views from the living room through large picture windows that face the bay. You also have access to a small fenced patio at the back that allows a warm, private spot in the sunshine where you can enjoy lunch al fresco or a glass of wine in the evenings, with room to stow beach gear or bicycles as needed. Guests enter through a gate that takes them down a brick pathway to the entry door. Up a flight of stairs you'll find a cozy living space that blends living room, kitchen and dining areas. Easy-care hardwood-look flooring, a comfortable couch and club chair, a 30-inch HDTV and a wooden table for two can be found here, as well as original beach and nautical artwork that perfectly captures the bay-side mood. Décor in soothing tones of the sea further enhance the relaxed ambiance, and large picture windows look out toward the bay, providing views day or night. Kitchen and Dining The compact kitchen contains everything you need for meal prep, with an electric stove, full size oven, deep stainless sink with pull-out faucet and microwave. Please note there is no dishwasher. A small table perfect for two is immediately next to the kitchen.
