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

Excellent Location. The photos on the site do not do the property justice. Wonderful high ceilings, comfortable beds, lovely sitting porch, across from the quilt shop, excellent full-service grocery just one block over.

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.
