If June Cleaver and Nate Berkus had a baby…. well, that’s not going to happen. But if you’re looking for the family home of the future—we’ve got it.
With an advanced sound system that plays tunes from CDs, an iPod (or old-fashioned radio) throughout the house, everyone can listen to their favorite genre at the same time. (And you’ll still be able to hear Ward call, “Oh, June, I’m home!” after golfing.)
In fact, June would feel totally comfortable in this quiet “PG” neighborhood. From the Butterfly Parade to the apple trees around Caledonia Park, there are plenty of reasons Pacific Grove is called America’s “last hometown.”
Two free Aquarium passes are included, and there are four bikes in the garage, so the whole family can ride to the beach. Later, while Ward grills burgers, and June swoons in the gourmet kitchen, preparing an ambrosia salad—or anything with marshmallows—the kids can frolic in the large fenced backyard. And when the sun goes down, the family can gather round the firepit under the stars.

Our friend, Peter L., recently visited Carmel Food Tour. Here is what he had to say about this unique way to enjoy Carmel. Five well-earned stars. Staci has put together about the most informative, fun thing you can do in beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Our three hour tour included some of the best restaurants and wine tasting rooms in the town as well as interesting, informative stops and meanders along the way. I live here and didn’t know any of the historical and anecdotal tid-bits she wove into the tour.
She is fun, witty and timely – the trip was perfectly timed. And the food/wine/sweets were just 
enough.
GO!!!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, may we present the latest addition to our vacation rental inventory: “ADORABLE.”
Decorated in a whimsical, country theme by Lydia Collins of Turn Key Design, this two bedroom cottage is so darn cute that everyone who sees it says the same thing: “It’s adorable!”
(In fact, this happened so many times we gave up trying to name it. It named itself.)
This property is located in that sweet spot in the “Avenues” between town and the beach, and for those of you familiar with Pacific Grove, you know this is “the place” to be.
The ocean is just a few blocks in one direction, and you can walk to the Red House Cafe for your morning java quicker than you can brew a pot at home.
Looking for the perfect Valentine gift? How about a romantic getaway?
