Our family loved this quaint and historic cottage! It is so close to Lover's Point Beach, and downtown Pacific Grove. Downtown Monterey is just an easy stroll down the Monterey Coastal Trail. Our kids adored their space upstairs (especially the novelty of having their own... more

Perfect
The Sweet Pea provided everything that was needed and we appreciated having contact numbers for house keeping and maintenance. It was a perfect stay in a perfect little house, for what we were needing. We are looking forward to our next stay!

We had a great trip. A perfect location! Parking is very limited. We had to park a block (or two) away. Thanks so much. We will be back.

Sweet Spot
I was delighted to find myself in a charming cottage, just 2 blocks from the ocean and 4 blocks from downtown Pacific Grove. I was able to walk everywhere--including downtown Monterey and the aquarium. And it's true--all I needed to bring was my suitcase and... more

Delightful seaside cottage
Our little family of three had a wonderful stay at Sweet Pea. We walked to the beach every night to watch the surfers and enjoy the tide pools. The aquarium was a beautiful 25 minute walk along the ocean trail where we saw waves crashing,... more

This home was very clean!! They had lots of towels and shampoo and conditioner for our use. It was situated on a small lot with no parking, street parking was challenging at times. The home is only a block from lover point and the trail... more

Sweet Pea is a Sweet Stay!
My best friend & I chose Sweet Pea mainly based on location near the ocean & the great price, & that we'd have our separate rooms & bathrooms. We arrived late one evening & were immediately charmed! The directions to picking up the keys were... more

Wonderful family cottage!
This adorable cottage is perfect for a small family. Our kids had the entire upstairs to themselves, with their own little play area plus bathroom. They loved it! Downstairs was equally great, with a nice size kitchen and dining area, and then a living room... more

We loved the space, the location, and especially appreciated the cleanliness. We’ll be back!

Great, peaceful stay
Our stay was simple to check in and out. Lovely home. Comfortable beds, easy to work in kitchen. Lovely neighbors, especially Rory ( a neighbor's dog ) and her owner). I would of loved a little more water pressure in the shower and tub.

Sweet Pea in PG
The house is in a great location for walking along the beautiful walking path in PG. The lack of parking is a bit of an issue; the neighbors clearly don't like short term renters parking near THEIR homes. The home is well equipped and everything... more

A lovely little place
This was a great location to stay. Close by Lover's Point and within walking distance to downtown, restaurants, shops, beach trail and amazing views. Very clean and well kept regardless of it being an older place. Very impressed and would definitely stay there again!

Sweet Time at Sweet Pea
The property is a beautiful, Victorian style home tucked sweetly on a residential street. Sometimes parking was difficult when other people would park in our spot. It's within walking distance to the beach, park and restaurants which was really nice with small children. It's also... more

A great location. Some problems with the old house but prompt response by maintanence staff. A comfortable house for myself and a guest without running into each other.

Tastefully Fun
Out first-ever stay at Sweet Pea was delightful in so many ways. After arriving on a Sunday afternoon, we unloaded our car and, much to our surprise, didn’t drive our car again until our departure a week later. Each day of our stay was an... more

Delightful comfortable house. Walking distance to beach, restaurants, Aquarium, shopping, movie theater, and close to Carmel. Needs new can opener, odd placement of light fixtures (hanging from the middle of the room in kitchen & bedroom) and a better placement for laundry soap would be... more

We've delivered a new can opener and alerted the housekeeper to leave the detergent by the washer. Please come visit us again!

Nice place, in a very centrally located area in Pacific Grove. A big front porch to sit and sip a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Two blocks from the bay at Lovers' Point. Easy to walk neighborhood of wonderfully quaint homes. The neighbors... more

Beautiful house
The house is really cute and designed in a kind of Old English style. All rooms are really beautiful, only the bathroom downstairs could get some renovation. There is a lot of kitchen equipment for cooking and dining. The neighbourhood is quiet, only the seagulls... more

We spent a delightful week at Sweet Pea. It is perfectly located to walk to almost everything. We are used to walking when we stay in Carmel, but have not done much in Pacific Grove. Wow, we missed a lot. We walked one day around... more

Sweet Pea lived up to its name, a delightful and quiet holiday retreat.
This charming Caroline Thornton Gothic Carpenter's cottage was the perfect location for our small family holiday.

Sweet Pea was Sweet!
This home was perfect for 3 girlfriends who wanted a place that we could hang out at or just use as a "home base". The location was perfect - 10 minutes to Carmel or 5 minutes to Monterey. It was well maintained and had everything... more

Excellent house in a great location
From start to finish this was a great experience. Being from overseas the ease of booking, payment, picking up keys etc was a big plus. The price included everything with nothing added on which other sites I looked at did. The house was emaculate and... more

The Sweet Pea is Fantastic
My experience at the Sweet Pea was truly wonderful. It was cozy and warm and every appliance worked. There were TVs and the book shelves were well-stocked (I think I even saw a book about Gustave Flaubert). In addition, even the neighbors on the sides... more

Quaint and cold
The house is in a great location and well appointed. However, three major appliances were broken, the furnace, the fireplace and the clothes washer. The house was cold when we arrived and had a difficult time warming up the rooms. The stairwell upstairs is very... more

Owner/Manager Response
Thank you so much for the feedback on Sweet Pea. We are glad that you enjoyed the location and the fact that the house is well-appointed. The property owners do try hard to keep it well equipped and maintained. We always appreciate constructive criticism that helps both us and the property owners provide our guests with a superior experience. Monterey Bay Property Management maintains a 24/7 maintenance line that is available to all of our guests (the phone number is in the property). Had you called to let us know that there was a problem with anything at the property, we would have been happy to respond immediately. It did turn out that the next guest notified us upon her arrival of the problem with the furnace/fireplace, which needed to simply have the pilot light (which services both the fireplace and the furnace) lit. She also let us know there was a problem with the washer, which we replaced for her. Had you called us about the barbecue, again, we would have been happy to bring you another one. So next time you visit, please don't hesitate to let us know how we can make your stay more enjoyable!
