Aldrich House - PG Charmer! Walk to Lovers Point!
Summary: You'll be steps from one of Pacific Grove's gems, Lover's Point! PG is a wonderland, with trails that hug the jagged coastline, revealing hidden tide pools brimming with vibrant sea life and spectacular ocean views around every bend. From whale-watching and birding to the smell of fresh sea air on the wind, it’s a paradise for anyone who craves the thrill of the outdoors. Here at Aldrich House, it’s all just moments from your front door, a cozy 2-bedroom home perfect for your extended stay.
The Space: The private back yard will be your personal retreat between adventures, where you can sip on your morning coffee or a refreshing afternoon cocktail while lounging on comfortable outdoor furniture. The grill master among you will delight in whipping up authentic barbeque meals, served tableside for an al fresco dining experience under the shade of the mature native trees. Spend a day down at Lover’s Point Beach, just a 5-minute walk from the home and offering a picturesque spot to dig your toes in the sand or hunt for seashells while you soak up that plentiful California sunshine.
As you head out to explore the town and surrounding area, you’ll undoubtedly notice that unlike some tourist destinations, Pacific Grove keeps community the priority, offering a chance to experience a slice of authentic California life through its local shops, restaurants, and streets lined with colorful 19th-century cottages. Beyond this area, the friendly, welcoming vibe lives on in cities such as nearby Monterey, where you can spend the day meandering along the cute boutiques and local seafood spots of the downtown area. Nature lovers won’t want to miss the opportunity to visit Monterey Bay Aquarium, offering amusement for the entire family, or taking a hike up Jacks Peak Park for even more unbeatable vistas.
From the cheerful painted exterior to the chic and contemporary interior, every aspect of this home has been well thought-out, designed to delight your senses and maximize your downtime as you connect with loved ones. An inviting sectional in the living room is a relaxing spot for bingeing all your favorite shows and movies on the smart TV, while a cozy window-side seating area comes perfectly well-lit for turning the pages of a good book. Preparing meals will become a highlight of your day, in the well-equipped kitchen with retro-inspired pink appliances alongside glossy stone countertops and ample cabinetry for storage of all your snacks and goodies.

Upon arrival, some areas not clean. Refrigerator had not been cleaned out. Twin Beds in adjacent space were crazy hard and very uncomfortable and not workable for adults. Back yard didn’t appear to have been cleaned up recently. Tons of debris from the trees No gas for grill Very low bed in primary bedroom so not good for anyone with joint issues Electric “deposit” isn ’t really a deposit but an additional fee. Was not shown in the payment summary.

Perfect location, perfect home for our stay
We rented Aldrich House for the month of February. We have vacationed in PG many times and wanted to experience it like locals. The home is a block away from Lover's Point, where I would walk the dog every morning. Then less than 3 blocks to Lighthouse Avenue and great restaurants, coffee shops, a bookstore, and more. The home itself was comfortable with all amenities we needed, and very cute! The backyard space with the firepit was very comfortable and inviting. And the side cottage was great for guests and having a separate private room for zoom calls/business. And thankful I had the garage for my bike and golf clubs. Kyle was a great property manager and took care of all of our needs promptly. I would happily rent there again.
