If, on the other hand, the staff and location are primary then this is a winner. We stayed at the Pine Acres Lodge for a week. Most of the week it was only two people and then the last couple days another couple joined us. The staff was fantastic. They were friendly and helpful. We arrived very early on our day of arrival and they were able to accommodate us immediately. They were cheerful and helpful as they did so. Each time we had interactions with them it was very pleasant. The location is great. It is probably 2 1/2 blocks from some super ocean views. A short walk or minuscule drive rewarded you with incredible sunsets and Asilomar State Beach. You are a block of two from one of the best golf values on the peninsula at Pacific Grove Golf Links . The Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary is an easy walk or about a one minute drive. It is well under 3-4 minutes to downtown Pacific Grove for restaurants, coffee, gas, shopping, etc. It is probably 10 minutes to the Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row. The units are not new, large, nor are they luxurious. We were in a 1BR cottage with a Murphy bed. The kitchen was well stocked but, again, not new and not large. We were gone much of the time but always cooked breakfast and a few dinners without any issues. Four people fit in this unit without issues. Since the outside was so nice we found the accommodations very acceptable. We liked the Pine Acres Lodge and hope to return again.

(So much more reasonable than other sites.) (before you pay the heavy prices at AirBNB or VRBO -reach out to Stacey at BestofDunes.com.) Walking into 59 Avocet could not be anything less than amazing! This place is incredible! Decorated with such care for the comfort of guests. I couldn't decide where to sit and watch the ocean - because not only is there Several seating areas - but each more comfortable than the next (my bad back was in heaven. ) Oceanview? Wow- just about anywhere you are in this house ! The giant floor to ceiling windows and open floor plan makes the views that much more Incredible. All I could say is - the photos don't do it justice. The deck with several tables, chairs and lounges had us out there Whale watching for hours. There's even a patio downstairs off One of the master bedrooms (yep there is 2 Master Suites (with Giant tubs!) If you want to get away for some chill time - THIS place is beyond Perfect - there was only two of us (myself and my Pool shark husband) yep - they have a pool table and a ping pong topper but 5+ couples could comfortably stay here (even more!) Perfect place for kiddies to play in a separate playroom, with a giant TV and a bazillion DVD's if that's your thing. I stopped counting how many TV's...and um 2 Kitchens? Yep, fully stocked with anything you want and too many type of coffee makers to mention (if you want to make a cake from scratch...even a mixer!) The only thing that stopped me from some moments of chill time was adventuring around this home, I kept finding more rooms and more special touches for guests! Tubs? Say Ahhhhh - cause there's actually 3 in this home! The stairs to get onto the beach are only steps away...but honestly - sitting out on the deck (or inside on one of the bazillion couches) ...well you just can't beat that. Yes, yes, you can rent this and other vacation homes at Pajaro Dunes from other sites, but I'm all about saving money and I love the secure feeling of a more personal touch when I rent vacation locations- BestofDunes.com gave me everything I needed (and more) for 3 days I will long remember. When I dream of winning the lottery, 'This' is the house I dream of buying the day after I cash my ticket in So future renters better be quick before it's mine ;) Until then -Definitely go to BestofDunes.com to rent at Pajaro Dunes if location and service is on top of your list! Thank you so much Stacey for making our stay special in this magical home possible-You Rock!! We Will be back!

When it comes to hotels, the three things that matter most to me are cleanliness, comfort, and…read moresafety. Inn at Moss Landing hit the mark on all of these things. The room itself was very clean and the bed was surprisingly comfortable - one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever had in fact! I also felt very safe coming in and out of the property during my two night stay. My only minor complaint was the space under the door let in a lot of light so I did put a towel up against the bottom of the door at night to block that out. I requested a room on the top floor in a quiet area even though I am not noise sensitive and don't have the best hearing. There were a couple of occasions where I heard a door shut loudly or hear a loud truck/motorcycle go down the highway but overall I found it to be quiet and slept well. The mini fridge was a very good size and had a small freezer compartment inside which I really appreciated since I was traveling with a cooler and ice packs - I was able to fit all of my ice packs in the freezer section. The man who checked me in was very friendly and helpful. Although there was no breakfast provided, there was a microwave in the lobby which I used to heat up some things I brought for breakfast. There is also a really nice drink machine that has a variety of hot coffee based drinks and hot chocolate. I had a vanilla latte each morning and while it isn't like a coffee shop quality, it was still tasty and nice to have for free. I booked the hotel as the price was very reasonable given the high ratings and compared to others in Monterey or Carmel, but also because it was very close to the whale watching tour I was doing early in the morning out of Moss Landing. However, it is worth noting that it is a bit in the middle of nowhere so you will have a 20-30minute drive if going into Monterey or Carmel.

Although it was a rainy few days, we did have opportunities to get out and explore the coastline and parks in the area, which was our objective. Our king room was in great shape and very comfortable and efficient. We appreciated having an in-room refrigerator given the hotel has no restaurant. They do sell snacks and microwaveable refrigerated foods in the lobby where there is also a microwave available to guests. They also have a very nice coffee machine in the lobby rather than having coffeemakers in rooms. The staff was always friendly when we passed through the lobby or came down for coffee. They provided us with dining and places to see recommendations. Delivering freshly popped popcorn to our room was a nice treat and we enjoyed with wine as we watched the winter olympics at night. The Inn is a great spot to stay when visiting Moss Landing or Monterey, if you don't mind a little drive time to Monterey.

Fire pits are along each section of the buildings. and they get turned on every evening. The sunsets here are super beautiful phenomenal here.

At the time of my booking, Monterey county had not decided to shut down so I was able to keep the reservation during the entire week I was there even though the day after I arrived, no restaurants were open for in-person dining. (What luck!) The resort is very nondescript. You don't even know that you have arrived because the signs aren't displayed very conspicuously and the building shares space with some other businesses, including a restaurant on the ground floor. There are also no designated check-in spaces in front where you can park & check in. I had to call the front desk to tell them I had arrived at 11:58 AM (after a tiring 6 hour drive). The front desk rep (I forget her name, but she was a redhead), who seemed very annoyed, told me that I was lucky that she was at the desk because she was just leaving for lunch & there would have been no one to greet me in her place! (My first sign that the service at this place would be below expectations!) I asked her where I could park. She told me that she would meet me at the parking garage gate which could only be accessed by a remote control fob which she would have to give me. I met her with my car at the gate as she requested. She handed me through my car window a Ziploc bag with what she said was "all I need to know about the hotel" and proceeded to leave. I quickly asked her if she could spend a little more time to explain a few things to me so I could get better oriented in this place having just arrived from 400 miles away; specifically as to where I could park, where my room was situated, where the elevator was, etc. It wasn't even clear how to open the gate with the fob. She very hurriedly & very annoyedly rattled off a few selective answers to my questions & went on her way. I had to struggle to rip open the Ziploc bag & read the instructions while I was stuck outside the gate of the parking garage with people waiting behind me...... This wasn't the friendly first class greeting I was expecting from a resort that is supposed to be a "Premier Resort" according to Interval International. It turns out that the garage is the only way to access the hotel, which had no lobby and no direct access from the street, which was very odd! This means that you have to carry around the fob everywhere you go, even if you are just walking around the hotel. In addition, during multiple times during the day, you could not even access the floor which housed the tiny office because of their very rigid Covid restrictions. I never even got to see the office during my entire week stay. Any questions I had were communicated by phone. After this very rocky check-in, I was ready to start enjoying myself. When I got to the room, which was a 1 Bedroom suite, I was impressed with how large it was. It had a peek-a-boo view of the bay as well which was nice , especially on crystal clear days even though the bay was about 4 blocks away. The living area had a nice large couch set in front of a large screen TV . The room also had a large dining room table and a full kitchen. The furniture was a bit outdated but sufficient for our purposes. The room also had a small loft with a small chair & a table, which seemed a waste of space to me. (I was told that this is for parents to get some alone time?). The bedroom, which was furnished with a nice comfortable bed, small table & chair was also a nice size. There was also an abundance of storage space (designed for a large family, not for a childless couple as we were). There were some minor repair issues right off the bat which I was able to get resolved but all-in-all the room was very nice. In the time that we were there when the restaurants were actually opened, I was able to book at some great restaurants known for their seafood. I particularly loved the Wild Fish & PassionFish. Also worth mentioning is a great Portuguese bakery called Pavel's which is always packed & open only until they run out of their last pastry for the day, which could be pretty early in the day. Everything there is truly mouthwatering & worth every penny (Don't expect a bargain!) The tarts especially are not to be missed! The location of the resort is also convenient to Monterey & Carmel which are both spectacular and worth the drive.
