Perfect Retreat for a family getaway

Aptly named, the gratitude in was the perfect respite for my family and I ( 6 adults) to enjoy Father’s Day. Will have to try the many local restaurants some other time because we fell in love with the kitchen and enjoyed meal prep and breakfast in the spacious dining room most nights. Will definitely consider gratitude for my next stay in the area.

Grattitude Inn

My family and I just returned home from an amazing stay at the Grattitude Inn at Pacific Cove. The location could not get any better it was a quick walk to the beach and you turned the corner and you were directly downtown. We were also so close to the farmers market that happens on Mondays. The place was clean and fully stocked. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

One of the best

We stayed here including my wife, two year old, and my mother and it was a fantastic setup for everyone. The place is spacious and has a wonderful patio with gas fireplace out back The location couldn’t be better in Pacific Grove since everything is so walkable. We’ll try and get this house again next time we’re back in the area.

Great house and fantastic location!

This house is better than the pictures show! It was roomy and cozy at the same time. The kitchen is a dream and the music system was a great bonus. We spent hours around the outside fireplace enjoying the cool weather and card games. The house is located 15 yards to the shops and restaurants of Pacific Grove. And we could see the ocean from the sidewalk in front of the house. We look forward to the next time we get to stay here again!

GORGEOUS HAPPY PLACE

When we first stumbled upon this house on Vrbo it seemed almost too good to be true. It was a girls trip we had planned and thought there was a catch! Everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Michelle is the most thoughtful, and pleasant host. She provided us with all the information we needed doing our stay. The house is really comfortable, cozy, extremely clean and antique. The kitchen is commercial style with the cutest sitting nook and contains everything you need. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were also equipped with everything. I’m a tickler for towels and was so impressed with the high quality towels and bed linen that we were provided. We all felt like we were in our own home. The washer/dryer were high end and was such a convenient to return home with clean clothes we washed the towels we used daily. The outside patio area was cozy, the lights made the ambience even nicer while sipping on our wine. We walked and toured Pacific Grove which had such amazing shops and restaurants especially(Aliottia’s Victoria Corner) if you decide to eat there please ask for the server LEXIE she provided PHENOMENAL service, Winston’s, Beach House Restaurant at Lovers Point and The Red House Cafe. The beach was gorgeous. We stayed (5) days went to Carmel by the Sea had brunch at Clint Eastwood’s restaurant the “Mission Ranch” did the 17 Mile drive, went to Pebble Beach, the Monterey Jazz Festival. If I could give more than (5) stars I definitely would have.

Wonderful stay!

We are so happy that we found the Gratitude Inn for our recent Labor Day getaway in the Monterey Bay! The house is in a wonderful location, close to everything that you could want to do in the area, with shops and restaurants steps from the front door. We had everything we needed and more at this house that had modern amenities, all while keeping the home's vintage charm. Incredibly comfortable beds, a commercial style kitchen for any culinary adventure, an amazing library for reading and enjoying your morning coffee (I also did yoga here and it was perfect!). It was truly a wonderful stay! Thank you!

Charming home, great location

We had a great stay at this charming historic home. It was very clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed to cook basic meals, do laundry, etc. The location was super convenient, walking distance to Lover's Beach and the beach trail. While I want to be clear that this is a lovely house, and we very much enjoyed our stay here, there are some things to be aware of: it's directly across the street from a construction site, where they're building a large commercial building. Noise and privacy weren't problems for us, but don't expect a quiet residential neighborhood. The bathroom light switches are odd, my kids weren't able to work the lights during our entire stay, so we were constantly helping turn lights on and off. And finally, the kitchen is enormous and well-equipped, but it's a commercial kitchen so some things are a bit strange, like the open drain under the sink that splashes your feet! (Which my kids thought was hilarious, of course.) All that said, the home was clean, comfortable, and very convenient to everything we wanted to do. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

Wonderful weekend!

Perfect for a larger group that wants to have their own space but still be able to gather and spend time in community together. We were able to easily walk to so many different tourist locations. House amenities and space are amazing and we loved our stay. Only issue was there was so many flies on the patio that we were not able to go out there at all.

Truly a great house!

Everything listed about the property is accurate! The construction across the narrow street is not too bad at all. But parking is sparse! Only real parking is on the driveway, which can fit one car. Excellent location! The kitchen is bomb! Library nook is really cool. Things to just be aware of before you go… There is only one shower, as disclosed, and the water is very low flow, which is a bit annoying. Also there’s only ONE TV in the whole house, so if you like your TV time, this isn’t the ideal place for you. The windows all seem to be painted shut, which is inconvenient, but not a total deal breaker. But if you can get past those two things, this place is awesome! I would stay here again.

Wonderful

The Gratitude Inn was the PERFECT place to stay and base out of for my family & friends who were in town for my son's Carmel Valley Vineyard wedding. The house is so spacious and serene. We LOVED the outside area, with fireplace and evening cafe lights. All amenities are top-notch, including the SONOS sound system. Although only one shower, this was never an issue for us. The kitchen was AMAZING; even though we didn't do any cooking, we had everything we needed for serving up appetizers & cocktails. The location of Gratitude Inn is ideal for walking into town for eating, shopping, & browsing. Most of our time spent there was on the weekend so the construction did not bother us. On our last morning there the only sound from the construction site was the occasional beeping of a truck in reverse. We needed to contact the Maintenance Man twice (code wouldn't work, iron & ironing board were missing) and his response was instantaneous! It's great to know that you'll never be left to fend for yourself should an issue arise. Our only suggestion would be for guests to bring their own boxes of tissues and napkins: tissues were a few mini packs of airline-type tissues and napkins were non-existent. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Gratitude Inn!!!!!

Comfortable for 3 couples

This was a former restaurant so the kitchen was amazing (for us non-professional chefs!) The location is nice, just a couple blocks from Lover's Cove (we scuba!). Noise wasn't too bad despite construction site across the street. Some fixtures need repair, bulbs replaced etc. but overall very nice. We would book again!
