This apartment in downtown Pacific Grove is right around the corner from chic eateries, cosy cafes and just a five-minute stroll from Lovers Point beach and the scenic Recreation Trail bordering the bay. The building used to be a famous department store frequented by John Steinbeck, and it's the ideal spot to explore, whether you're wandering down the famous Cannery Row or learning about marine wildlife at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is a twenty-minute walk away. When you've had your fill of seeing the sights, you'll love coming home to this stylish flat and unwinding in the contemporary living area – just switch on the electric fireplace to make the space even cosier. There are a wealth of mod-cons that make staying here a dream, including a wine fridge (it's the perfect place to store the bottle your host leaves you), a Bluetooth home control panel that can be used from your phone, top-of-the-line appliances in the kitchen, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and a lush soaker tub. You can also arrange catering services or a private chef to make your trip extra memorable. And the views of downtown? Pretty great, especially from the pub table in the master bedroom. Pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair and watch the twinkling lights on the bay from the wall-to-wall windows.
