Ain't Life Grand? - Pacific Grove House - Beach + Town

This urban oasis is a few blocks from the beach, and around the corner from one of the most charming Main Streets in America. Located in the commercial district of Pacific Grove, it’s just steps from shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, a wine bar and a movie theater. The entry area—with a bistro table and a sofa—is set up like a storefront. The real living areas are behind the door, where you can relax on leather sofas adjoining a lovely kitchen with mocha-colored quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar that seats four. The master bedroom has a private bath with a walk-in shower; the upstairs bedroom has a peek of the ocean and an en suite powder room. The laundry is in the basement at the bottom of the stairs, and all the delights of Pacific Grove are right outside your front door. You can swim, dive or kayak at Lover's Point right down the street (with a white sand beach for sunning, a kiddie pool, beach volleyball court, and a snack bar, café and restaurant). With grassy areas for picnics and surrey, bike, kayak and paddle board rentals—this park is a favorite of visitors and locals alike. Stroll down the coastal recreation trail to commune with seals and sea otters, or play golf at the ocean side Pacific Grove Golf Course, affectionately known as a budget-minded alternative to Pebble Beach. A short drive will take you to Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf, downtown Monterey or Carmel. Within minutes you can be touring scenic 17-Mile Drive, hiking to secluded Big Sur beaches,horseback riding, deep-sea fishing or whale watching. Any questions? Just ask “Alexa.” Street parking and one designated space in the lot across the street. Pacific Grove Transient Use License #419

Great location!
My family stayed here for a long weekend (husband and two small children). We love Pacific Grove’s and always try to stay somewhere close to Lighthouse st. This location was perfect. The place itself was very comfortable with great amenities. My husband especially enjoyed that huge tv for football Sunday. We ate at Rodolfo’s just around the corner and were a very short drive to Monterey bay aquarium. Highly recommend

We loved the location of the place. You can see the ocean down the street. A cute/quiet part of town that’s walkable to lots of restaurants, bars, shops and not too far of a walk to the aquarium (30 min walk).

This amazing Townhouse tucked away within the shops of Pacific Grove is a must stay. We walked in to a clean, welcoming home away from home. We were able to take in the beauty of the coast and return to the comfort of this home.

Good stay
Overall, we enjoyed our stay! The location was the best part and it was plenty spacious. Furnishings/decor could use some updating, but that may be a personal preference. Window treatments in the upstairs bedroom need replacing. My husband pulled one of the shades down to close it- it wasn’t secured and the bracket fell and bruised his nose. Otherwise, I would recommend.

Cozy home, quiet neighborhood
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Ain't Life Grand. The home was as pictured & described. We didn't have a reason to contact management, everything was seamless from check-in to checkout. The neighborhood is very quiet & the ocean is in walking distance. We agree that if we are ever back in Pacific Grove we'll consider this place.

Pacific Grove Stay In Town Walk to Bay
We enjoyed our stay at Ain't Life Grand. Great location for restaurants and shops. We had an issue with the business for piano and percussion lessons next door. We could hear every note and there were a lot of scales. We had not been made aware of this before booking. The contact phone number we had for Kyle was not in service and he did not respond to email.

Perfect location in Pacific Grove for a girls weekend. Lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance as well as walks to the water. The unit was clean overall but looked like certain areas hadn't been dusted in awhile (kitchen cabinets and oven hood).

The BEST location!
Pacific Grove is idyllic and this location is simply unbeatable! It’s urban living done perfectly. We walked to every meal, a movie, shopping, Lovers Point, all day every day. Perfection! Only room for improvement would be to replace the window coverings in the bedrooms with something blackout and mounted outside the frame. Definitely glad we brought eye masks!

Loved it!
We loved our stay here! Perfect for our little family. Great location for our family to walk to restaurants and lovers point! Only thing we wish is that there was a few basic thing like salt, pepper and sugar but understand they were taken out of the house because of Covid. Hopefully they will be able to be put back soon. We’ll come back and stay again!

Great location in the center of town. We were prepared for noise in the alley at night and found it to be quiet. There is a music studio next door and we did hear piano lessons but the sound was muffled (some practice sessions were better than others)

Something Different
Basically, we stayed in what appeared to br a ‘store front’ except opening the ‘inner’ door revealed a very stylish little two bedroom loft style apartment. It was wonderful!
