Blue Horizons - Pacific Grove Beach House - On a Clear Day... You Can See Forever!

We loved this property. The views from the living room were spectacular and we otter and porpoise watched constantly. We had stormy, high waves, rain, and then a beautiful sunny day…loved all of it. We called maintenance to relight the fireplace pilot light, and he was very responsive and came within an hour or so. We will be back.

The view is stunning. We saw otters playing from the living room, and there was even a telescope to view up close! I walked along the coastal trail into the charming town of Pacific Grove. Our group thoroughly enjoyed this spectactular property.

The location and view of the property were excellent. We very much enjoyed looking out on the ocean, observing wildlife, and taking daily walks along the water. The overall house is a bit dated, which in itself would not be an issue except the approach seems to be to wait until issues are reported, then to fix it reactively. We had multiple issues such as the stove top fan not working (we had to open windows every time we cooked, which was not fun when it\'s cold out and with young kids), the top rack of the dishwasher was broken, and the sight glass that we were so looking forward to using was broken before our arrival and was carefully balanced on top of the tripod to look attached. I\'m not entirely convinced that Michelle is a real person. I received multiple emails (which appear automated with standard information about the property) soon after booking from "Michelle" and automated texts. However, I sent a question (responding to her email) ahead of time without getting response and in trying to reach her when issues were discovered while at the property, I never heard back from her via text nor through VRBO messages. There are multiple numbers posted in the house in case of different issues, and I did manage to get through to a maintenance person, who informed me they would contact someone to reach back out. I finally got a call back to get the kitchen issues fixed on the day of my departure date. For the price of the stay, I would have preferred not to spend time discovering issues and calling for maintenance. The downstairs room with bunk bed and painted walls was very quaint for the kids, however, if you inspect the door, the lock for it is outside of the room, so people can get locked in the room itself. This seemed a bit odd. Overall, it was a very nice location and had a fantastic view but the house itself needs active maintenance. I would have also preferred to have direct contact with Michelle to manage issues rather than have to call maintenance people to schedule fixes.

We really enjoyed this house and it's location! It is very well maintained and has the most spectacular view. It has everything one needs to cook and make meals, comfortable clean bedrooms and even bikes in the garage you can use. Michelle the property manager is incredibly responsive and super helpful. The storm of the century happened the day before we were supposed to arrive - the house didn't have power and she worked with us on an alternative plan. The 24 hour maintenance line was answered on the first ring by an awesome gentleman who guided us through an internet issue! You should visit this house - it's really worth it!

Very nice house & location. Spacious rooms, comfortable and everything we needed!

The view from the comfortable chairs in front of that huge bay window overlooking Monterey Bay is worth the price of admission! Awesome to be that close to the water, the shore trail, and eateries at Lover's Point and Pacific Grove. The bed and bedding in the primary suite are top notch. We didn't ride them, but having bikes available is a nice perk. We had a lovely stay but do have a few comments to make. The photo of the bay window shows a telescope, but there is not a telescope. Bring your binoculars for viewing the otters and seals! There are a few things in this older home that either don't work (ice maker, jetted tub) or need updating (worn carpet in primary bathroom) and there was a musty smell, although the house was spotlessly clean. However, these issues are minor and certainly don't affect the gorgeous setting. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the Keurig, but there is a drip coffee maker, too. There are lots of little tips taped around the house to explain lights or door locks, which is helpful, but a little annoying, also. I'm sure it makes things easier on remote owners and the local management in reducing questions from guests. Michelle was responsive to communications and check in/check out was easy. Loved having a garage for our car! I think it's clear from the listing, but the main living area is up a flight of stairs.

Main living space-kitchen, dining room, master bedroom suite and the living room with the fabulous view are upstairs. Stairs are hardwood and a bit steep and narrow for those physically challenged. Location wise, Lover’s Point is about 1/4 mile, the Monterey Bay Aquarium 1/2 mile walk. During the summer, the City of Monterey offers a FREE trolley from the Aquarium to downtown Monterey-a great way to get around. We ran into a big plumbing/leak problem which caused disruptions during our 5 day stay. The communication between the contractors -host-me was less than ideal with workers arriving ‘unannounced’. Hopefully, this will not be an issue for future guests. Beautiful property - great kitchen for those who enjoy cooking!

This home and location did not disappoint. The description and photos are very accurate. Of course, better in person! We enjoyed using the bikes, and walking across the street for many walks along the coast. Read the description carefully especially if you are planning on cooking or call ahead to be sure it has you may need. The kitchen area was much bigger in person than the photos. Really nice! The living area- stunning view.

The location and views could not have been better. The communication with the property manager was excellent. The house is well worn and dated. I think the listing should make it clear that with the 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor, there is only one bathroom, and while the primary is the only bedroom upstairs, there are 2 full baths upstairs. With that being said, we had a great time. Thank you.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this Pacific Grove Beach House. We could not have asked for a more relaxing stay. The ocean views from the home were lovely, and it was fun to watch the otters! We enjoyed daily walks along the trails, exploring the rocky beach areas. The house was beautiful and outfitted with everything we needed. The living areas were bright and spacious, and we enjoyed cooking in the well-appointed kitchen and the barbecue grill. Everything was perfect, and we would stay here again!

Our family stay at Blue Horizons beach house was wonderful, as always. Everything was clean, blankets were nice and warm and the kitchen was generally well-equipped. The bay window view of the ocean was great, especially when the moon rose over it.

Such an amazing house!! The views from the front window were gorgeous!!!! The house was clean and perfect!!! We will be back!!!!

Very nice house & location. Spacious rooms, comfortable and everything we needed!

Great location and views. Clean and comfortable. Great place to relax.

We enjoyed location across from the water. Excellent walking path right across the street Large gathering area. We would book again

This home was one of the best Vrbo homes we have every stayed in. The house was perfectly located in Pacific grove! The hosts have thought of everything and had it very well stocked with dishes, towels, soaps and trash bags. It was easy to enter and lock up when away. It was a wonderful home for a family with plenty of space for everyone during our stay. We adored looking out and seeing Otters in the Bay and watching beautiful Cranes in the evenings. The beds were very comfortable. There were notes located throughout the house explaining how to lock doors, utilize appliances, etc. The host thought of everything. My husband and I plan on returning with just the two of us for our next visit when we can enjoy some fine dining without our three nephews. Thank you to the host for providing such a lovely home and family experience.

We had a relaxing time at Blue Horizons, conveniently located in Pacific Grove--a central location to explore the Monterey/Carmel area. The house had a well equipped kitchen and a spectacular view of the bay and cute otters. Highly recommend for a couple or small group/family. Enjoy!

Wonderful! Great location to walk to everything: Restaurants, grocery stores, Aquarium, Cannery Row, and plenty of coastal paths. We ate out and cooked in the house. It has minimal, but the basics to cook. Be sure to bring your own spices/oils/coffee if you do cook. The home is clean, again, with minimal everything you need. Comfy beds, fans, and room to put stuff. Nice use of space to separate your group if you need to. We will be back.

Clean house great view

This place does not comfortably sleep 6 adults. It has 2 Kings and twin beds in a room made for children with no space to move around - very misleading.Did not receive any check in or check out instructions. Had to call myself to get them

Perfect view. Very comfortable for 3 couples. Have been there 4 times already and have enjoyed each time.

Perfect set-up for 3 couples. It is within walking distance to Monterey and Asilomar Beach. Very comfortable house with awesome views of the ocean and its wildlife.

Love, love, love the location of this house! It is within 10 minutes of everything we wanted to do while in Monterey...the Aquarium, the wharf, 17-Mile Drive, etc. We were also able to walk to a couple of restaurants that were less than half a mile from the house. The pictures are very accurate to what the house itself looks like. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals throughout our stay. The bed upstairs was very comfortable, but the larger bed downstairs was really hard. It did not have a pillow top mattress on it like the one upstairs. The views were amazing! We were able to watch otters, sea lions, and an incredible amount of birds playing in the bay in front of the house. There is a great walking path directly across the street from the house that takes you along the beach. This was a wonderful trip, and we highly recommend this house to anyone looking to relax while enjoying everything Monterey has to offer.

The location was FANTASTIC! Right across from the bay, parks and walking trails. Restaurants were never more than 10 minutes away. Right on the doorstep to 17 Mile Drive. Lots of room for the whole family. The upstairs family room with bay windows was the gathering spot. Just a terrific rent

We absolutely loved the location and the amazing front window. we watched sunrises, sunsets, sea otters, dolphins, grey whales, pelicans, sea lions, harbour seals from the main window. We walked to lovers point, walked to kissing rock, walking to the aquarium. It was all so convenient. The stairs are quite steep so be aware, and the upstairs floor creaked so when i went to the bathroom in the night it disturbed others. But we would definitely stay again.

We watched rafts of otters cuddle their babies and sleep the day away and mimicked them by lounging by the front window. The kitchen was more than adequate for our needs. Note that the main living area is up a flight of stairs. My aged parents were happy to climb up the stairs for the views and happy to take the master bedrooom on the 2nd floor but left the ground floor alone except for when we left the house for walks along the shore.

The location and views could not have been better. The communication with the property manager was excellent. The house is well worn and dated. I think the listing should make it clear that with the 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor, there is only one bathroom, and while the primary is the only bedroom upstairs, there are 2 full baths upstairs.

This place is great. Super location. Super management. Probably one of the best VRBO’s I have ever stayed in.

The stay at Blue Horizons was very nice and easy access. The views are fabulous. It is a very busy part of Pacific Grove and neighbors are very close, as well as lots of cars, cyclists and pedestrians due to beautiful location. I would have liked to know to bring your own coffee pods for the very convenient Nespresso or Keurig machines… The family games are fun, the kitchen is very spacious for those who like cooking, the master bedroom very spacious and comfortable. Kids rooms downstairs make it also nice for the kids to have their own space. Nice path across the street perfect for morning runs or after dinner walks.

Booked for a few days in March. Great house and perfect location. Otters and seals right outside your front door! Gorgeous views of the bay.

An exceptional location with views to die for. The property was nice albeit a bit dated. That said thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Perfect location with million dollar view! We liked the convenient layout. Breakfast area was a definite plus.

Our family stay at Blue Horizons beach house was wonderful, as always. Everything was clean, blankets were nice and warm and the kitchen was generally well-equipped. The bay window view of the ocean was great, especially when the moon rose over it.

My grandsons call Blue Horizons my Monterey Beach House because they love coming here every year. The big living room windows look out on Monterey Bay and a little sandy cove is accessible from a trail across the street. The kitchen is well-appointed and large enough to accommodate 2 or 3 people working at the same time. Bring your own food and condiments, and, if you want a casserole, bring a casserole dish. A large roasting pan and other pots and pans are there, as are plates, etc. and silverware.

This property has everything we wanted and more! The views are amazing! We saw whales, otters, dolphins and many other animals while inside looking through the massive bay window. There are small beaches within walking distance and an adorable little eatery we walked to every morning for breakfast. Highly recommend this property if you are wanting a laid back relaxing time.

We were very comfortable and happy with our stay. I wish there had been more pantry staples available (I don’t think Covid is a valid reason for not having cooking oil) but otherwise the kitchen was well-equipped. We would definitely stay here again.

This home and location did not disappoint. The description and photos are very accurate. Of course, better in person! We enjoyed using the bikes, and walking across the street for many walks along the coast. Read the description carefully especially if you are planning on cooking or call ahead to be sure it has you may need. The kitchen area was much bigger in person than the photos. Really nice! The living area- stunning view.
