November and December availability. Home for the Holidays! Ocean front views.



The Ocean View Retreat has fantastic ocean views. It is only a few steps away from the ocean and golf course. Watch and hear the crashing waves as you sit back and relax. Looking out the front window or sitting on the front porch you may see dolphins, sea otters, seals, grey whales, killer whales, pelicans, sea gulls and even deer. Our profusion of wildlife, trees and wildflowers are a few of our many treasures.

The sunset and sunrise views are spectacular against the ocean waves. Across the street are sandy beaches and tide pool areas; a great place to watch the sailboats go by and breath in the clean, fresh ocean air.

The home has breath taking ocean front views from the living room, front bedroom, dining room and kitchen. There are partial ocean views from the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms.

Nearby and just a walk or bike ride away is Asilomar Beach and Lover's Point. The walking path is right across the street. Whether a morning’s jog or a relaxing walk, this path leads you along the ocean view. Kayaks and bike rentals are close by. Point Pinos, the oldest continuously operating light house is just around the corner and within walking distance. Downtown Pacific Grove with its quaint shops and restaurants is only a short bike ride or car ride away.

If you are a golfer, you can bring your golf clubs and walk to the club house. The driving range is just around the corner if you just feel like hitting golf balls. The Monterey Peninsula has a spectacular choice of golf courses in the area.
This cozy home is approximately 1,500 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. One bedroom has a 1/2 bath. Each room has been tastefully decorated for your comfort. Comfy mattresses, soft blankets and cozy sheets help drift you off to sleep.

The living room is provides space to relax with a book, talk, or watch a DVD from our library on the large hi definition television with surround sound. Or turn it off and listen to a CD or music stations on the TV. Curl up with a cozy throw blanket, turn on the gas burning fireplace and you have the perfect place for relaxation and peace.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything to make an exquisite meal or a simple snack. Sitting at the dinning table you have views of the ocean and large backyard.

Enjoy sitting at the teak picnic table while cooking that perfect meal on the gas bar b que in the large backyard. Fun, tropical place settings especially for the outdoors, adds to the ambiance along with a large dolphin fountain and backyard. Chairs, towels, beach bags, cooler and a picnic basket make it easy to pack a lunch for your beach outings.

This is a perfect place for a couple’s getaway or spending time with family and friends. It is a wonderful place to sit back, relax and embrace the beauty of the ocean while staying in comfort at Ocean View Retreat.

A delightful getaway!
For two of us this is a comfortable place to stay. The living area allows a constant sea view. The kitchen is big enough to enjoy home cooked meals and had all of the “tools” we wanted. Great laundry equipment. The attached garage kept the sea spray off the windshield. Golf is close by. Try Tosties in Pacific Grove for breakfast (we went back more than once). And if you happen to be a weaver, check out the Carmel Crafts Guild. We are already booked again for next year!

Comfort, Views and Beauty
We once again had the pleasure of living for a month in Evelyn’s beautiful home for a second time. Believe me when I say, it doesn’t get old. The bedrooms, kitchen, living room, 1.5 baths are all clean and very comfortable. When entertaining out of town guests for a week, the home provided plenty of privacy and space. The backyard is beautiful and had several lunches sitting in the sun at the large teak table But it is the front of her home and the magnificent views of Monterey Bay that make the stay memorable. Thank you Evelyn once again for your hospitality. We will be back.

Extraordinary location
We spent 7 weeks at the property during winter 2022. The location was so amazing that we extended our original contract for an additional 3 weeks. The bed was comfortable. We used the front bedroom and the ambient light from the neighbors was noticeable but neither my wife nor I were troubled by it. The heat was adequate and reliable - we live in Vermont and are accustomed to being warm indoors and we were in Pacific Grove. I would be negligent if I didn't note a couple small problems. A drawer or two under the counter were damaged and the kitchen faucet is really in need of repair or replacement it is impossible to easily adjust the handle for a warm temperature (either very hot or cold). Otherwise, the kitchen is well equipped. Were neither of these repaired we would rent this place again in a heartbeat... and we tried. Evelyn was helpful with questions we posed and when we lost a key her local contact had a replacement for us the next day. Terrific response. Finally, did I mention location? The coastal walking path passes in front of the house and you can walk well into the beginning of the 17 mile drive shoreline. Had you the ambition, I imagine you could manage an 8 or 10 mile walk if you started near the Aquarium in Monterey, out and back. The sea, surge and swell, and smashing waves and weather, and Whimbrels and Oyster Catchers, every bit, entrancing beauty. Remember.

Location and Beauty Rolled Into One
This perfectly located beautiful blue house sits right across Ocean View Blvd. where you awake each morning to the crashing sounds of waves and beauty that cannot be described. Our stay here was very enjoyable and easy to “move in” to and get settled for our month’s stay. Evelyn’s home provides plenty of room, great kitchen with all the amenities, fireplace that we used in the evening, comfortable furniture and bedding and a beautiful backyard that almost has a park like setting feel. The house is very well cared for and clean. The massive front windows in the living room allow you to watch the very active, ever changing Monterey Bay; with walkers, runners, bikers, surfers, divers…with an added bonus of otters and seals floating and playing in the surf. You literally walk across the street and start your adventures everyday by walking to Asilomar Beach to the west or to Cannery Row to the east. Downtown Pacific Grove offers you many choices for eating and shopping. Hop in your car and tour the scenic 17-mile drive through Pebble Beach, drive down Highway 1 to Big Sur. The activities are endless and easy to navigate…and close! Thank you, Evelyn, for your hospitality and allowing us to experience a little piece of heaven.

Amazing View
The property owner (Evelyn) was a genuinely nice person. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. The property was clean and contained everything a family might need for vacation. The washer and dryer were a big plus. The view from the large front windows was the highlight of our stay. The views of the Monterey Bay are breathtaking. A+++

Ocean View Retreat
This is a very good rental for those folks looking for great views, wonderful walking trails, and space for outdoor relaxing and gear storage. It's right across the street from the ocean and while lots of traffic on weekends, the surf really hides that. We could store our kayaks and bikes and still park the vehicle in the garage. It's about a 20-30 min walk to downtown & restaurants which for us was fine (particularly during Covid times). Fully equipped kitchen (we cooked Thanksgiving dinner there) and had most everything you could want.

We loved this beach house
We really enjoyed this beach house. It was chilly the days we were there and sitting near the fireplace with a view of the ocean was quite lovely. Yes, the road is between you and the ocean, but that is true all along this stretch of coast. It's really lovely. The location is fabulous. Walk across the street and you are on the little path that lets you walk along the ocean in either direction. We also quite enjoyed the large backyard with it's purple pride of madeira plants in full bloom (April, but they stay in bloom a long time). If you are a person who is bothered by light, be aware that the front room is very close to the road and the shades are (thankfully, IMHO) not darkening shades, so you do experience car lights in the room from time to time at night. There is not a lot of traffic at night, but it's non-zero. We're good sleepers so it wasn't an issue for us, but if you're a light sleeper or one for whom the coming/going of light is a problem, you might want to sleep in the back bedroom. On the other hand...the front bedroom has the best ocean view, and the Buddha! The house is comfortable, well appointed, and right at the beach. It has parking for 2 cars (one in garage, one in driveway) and beach chairs you can use. It's really a lovely beach house!!

Great location!
Loved the location right across the road from the ocean! Pacific grove is a lovely town and close to the start of 17 mile drive (highly recommend!) and Cannery Row. The house was darling! Beds/pillows weren’t great, but the living room and kitchen were comfortable. The bathroom could use an update, but worked just fine. Everything was clean. Owner was easy to work with and responds quickly. The neighbors don’t keep the lights off at night like the rules call for and so shine into one of the bedrooms, but that’s not the owners fault. Overall, enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
