Pacific Grove,
California |
Live right on the water's
edge in the top floor of a 100+year-old Victorian
that looks out upon the
otters and dolphins of Monterey Bay. |
 |
The
curved balcony of this home looks east to the sunrise. The living room is
spacious and has views galore. Fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean in my
cozy 'goddess' bedroom. (Photo taken from my balcony at sunrise)
|
The path adjacent to Lover's Point. Just a few yards from
this Victorian home, high above the bay. |

a golf love poem
Come feel safely cradled in the bosom of
Lovely Mother Earth.
Where you dare love sweet and sleep deep and dream
complete
before you rise bright to slice tasty green divots from her
shore.
FIVE MINUTES FROM
PEBBLE BEACH
COURSE
plus many cool
Monterey-Carmel links |
The ever-changing
views of sea and sky amaze and delight
Living room
with large picture windows facing "north" |
Enjoy your
morning tea or coffee on the narrow balcony (widow's walk) |
|
|
Living
room facing "east", with loveseat in hexagon shaped alcove. Fantastic views of
Monterey Bay from these windows. |
 The sunny kitchen looks out
directly on the water, as
well. |
|
| At night the lights across
the bay curve round like a glittering necklace |
| Allow time for a nice long soak in the old fashioned
claw-foot bathtub. I'll provide the bubbles. It is also my pleasure to
treat you to morning coffee, tea, juice, fruit and muffins. |
| Downtown is only a couple of minutes away on foot. Stroll
around Pacific Grove and discover its treasures, including many fine
restaurants, a local art center, library, museum of natural history, antique
shops and some great little coffee shops. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is within
walking distance along the hiking/biking path. |
|
|
| Although there are cars passing below on Ocean View Boulevard, my
cozy little aerie is set far back and high above. It sits behind two homes that
face the road directly, so any traffic noise is minimal. (I took this photo at
dusk from my balcony). |
Separate
bedroom is TINY! with low ceiling,
to boot. BUT - the narrow beaded
dark wood
covers walls and ceiling, wraps you in a cocoon that feels
remarkably like a sailing ship's cabin. |
|
| Sweeping
views of the bay can be seen from almost every window (and there are lots of
them). Since it occupies the top floor of a one hundred year old Victorian, the
ceiling has interesting angles, and pitches. Redwood strip panelling adds
warmth to the interior. They don't make them like this anymore.
