Zatara - Pacific Grove Beach House - Oceanfront Mediterranean

Amazing views, comfortable beds, spacious living spaces, unforgettable memories.

I was fortunate enough to spend 30 days here during March/April 2023. I cannot say enough good things about the experience. We saw whales, dolphins, seals and otters from the balcony of the property. The view is just spectacular and includes amazing sunrises! It is directly across the street from the bay and 30 steps from the front door there is a walking path along the bay and tide-pools. The property is walk-able to the Pacific Ocean (Pt Pinos 1 mile), Pacific Grove Downtown (1 mile), Monterey Aquarium & Downtown (2 miles). Numerous restaurants and a really nice golf course (Pacific Grove Golf Links) are also within two miles. The property is nice for large groups, with four bedrooms, two baths & a garage with laundry on the ground level and the upper main floor has the kitchen, dining & greatroom (all connected) along with the master suite. There are two balconies facing the water and a private patio in the back. Condition is overall good, with a renovated kitchen, however the bathrooms appear to original. But, no worries as everything is functional and with the views, you will be spending most of your time on the balconies or in the greatroom. Another nice touch are the three gas fireplaces on the main floor for those foggy days or cool evenings. If you are looking for a excellent location in a place that sleeps a large group......Zatara is a great option!

We sat at the dining table and watched dolphins and whales swim across the bay. We walked out of our front door and strolled along the coast....west to Asilomar and east to the aquarium and Cannery Row. The house was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for a big family Thanksgiving dinner. I can't say enough good things about the house. Our entire stay was a delight.

We really enjoyed staying at this house. It is spacious and very comfortable. Michelle, the administrator, was efficient and very professional. We really enjoyed the view. I would recommend it to everyone.

The property manager was great and very helpful. View is amazing and location is perfect. The garage parking is very difficult, so we could only park at the drive way. Need some better knifes for meat like steaks.

This is a fabulous house and perfect for our family of 11 to celebrate our Mom's 85th birthday. The house is very nice, clean, well equipped and the ocean views are amazing! It's also a great location, especially if you like to go for walks along the ocean. I would definitely return to and highly recommend this house.

Excellent property our family really enjoyed the views and location,

Zatara is an amazing vacation home with quite the view. Nothing like getting up in the morning, making a cup of coffee and watching the sea otters float in the ocean right outside your door! Make sure to bring a pair of binoculars! The house was very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. It's a little well loved and could probably use some minor maintenance (light bulbs out, etc.) but nothing that affected our vacation.

Our group had the most amazing time at this house and property. The house is lovely and the views are outstanding. The house is clean and big and exactly as stated on the listing. We had no qualms! We come to Monterey every December for a race my husband participates in at Laguna Seca and we would absolutely rent this house again for our crew!

Family Reunion easily slept the 8 of us. GREAT location. House nice lay out. Home showing some wear and tear, deck doors rusty etc. But, did not affect our experience.

Great view! Good for morning walks on the beach. Very open and bright.
