"We spent a very pleasant 3 days here in the middle of our 3 week holiday in California. The house is very well equipped and well situated for a short walk to Cannery Row. We ate at "Peppers" (good Mexican) and "Fish Hopper" at Cannery Row (good fish and steak!). I would certainly recommend this place to friends and family." - Chris A., ,Mi, 04/06/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"The P--- Family truly enjoyed our stay @ Sea Otter House! We've stayed a lot of places and this is the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen! We would definitely recommend your place to others!" - Michele P., Boca raton, FL, 03/23/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
""Otterly" charming. Great location, very comfortable and lots of space. Thanks so much." - John C., 414 Mission Santa Fe CIR,Ch, 03/07/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"We consider the Sea Otter House to be a very fine discovery. Pacific Grove feels like our second home and Sea Otters are always in our hearts. Support Friends of the Sea Otters and the Monterey Bay Aquarium! And, if you need more excitement, drive south on Hwy 1 just beyond Nepenthe. That's where the California Condors soar. We stopped the car and watched three fly over our heads and turned in time to watch a pod of gray whales heading north with their calves. The Monarch Butterflies were still present at the sanctuary, although they, too, are heading north. Four days is all we can spare this trip, and we hope to return in the fall. It's been lovely as always. Thank you." - Jo E., Davis, CA, 03/01/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"What a delightful time we had at Sea Otter House. The personal note, sparkling cider and presentation of the hors d'oeuvre made us feel welcomed. The house was both clean and inviting. We appreciated the aquarium tickets and couldn't believe the changes since the last time we'd been there in the 90's. The basket of activities was beneficial as well as the lovely coffee table books. We have never vacationed in a house before and we loved it! Our stay was so much nicer than a motel - relaxing and a greater feeling of being "at home". Some of our favorites were the great well-stocked kitchen (love the snappy red appliances), comfy beds, music, directions, labeling, check list and messages to help us figure out everything...computer and hot tub. Thank you for providing a great vacation getaway for us." - Kay D., Blaine, Wa, 02/17/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"A lovely long weekend with perfect weather to spend with our daughter and her partner and celebrate my birthday. Thank you for the well equipped kitchen, the comfortable beds and the peaceful atmosphere. We slept well, enjoyed our hikes and walks...and the aquarium. My husband and I have been coming to PG, separately and together, for over 50 years. It is a very special place." - Mary S., Post Office Box 1851,Po, 02/06/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"We felt welcomed the moment we entered your charming cottage. It kept us snug and warm during the rain and wind and proved to be "weather-tight"....The "magic" of the Sea Otter House was that we saw SEVERAL sea Otters. While on previous trips we were lucky to see even ONE. Your "gift" of a visit to the Aquarium was much appreciated and reminded us of our responsibilities to our beautiful planet. The house reflects your obvious good taste and concern for details and your desire to make your guests feel comfortable. " - Dee H., Sacramento, CA, 01/22/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We really enjoyed your home. We hope to come backyearly and visit more. We were able to walk everywhere and our dog Zoey enjoyed it too. Thank you for all the passes - we were able to use them. There never seems to be enough time to do everything but your beautiful home allowed us to relax and enjoy the ocean at the same time. We will return." - Scott S., Reno, Ne, 01/11/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"We had a lovely family vacation over Christmas here in Pacific Grove. The California Coast is spectacular. A highlight was our kayaking excursion to the kelp forest. We did see sea otters and other sea creatures. Monterey Bay Kayaks provided kind tips. Big Sur and the coastline through Carmel was quite picturesque. Of course, the Aquarium provides quite a wonderful mix of sea life-we appreciated the Aquarium tickets. Being at Sea Otter House made our time here so very enjoyable. We thank you for your imaginative, kind and cozy hospitality! Best wishes in the New Year!" - Genevieve D., Stow, Oh, 12/31/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"June 19, 2010 Dear Owners, I love your house! It is so cool! My favorite sea animal is a sea otter. Every night I slept wondering what inspired you to have a sea otter theme for your house. I slept in the computer room, and every morning I woke up seeing all the otter faces in pictures. Thank you for letting us in your house and (letting us) stay here.

"June 6 , 2010 We had a lovely stay. We used the Aquarium passes for us and the kids - thank you! My daughter loved looking at all the sea otters and cats included in the decor. I loved the downstairs bedroom and all the amazing books, the kitchen and the Hot Tub. It felt like staying at a friend's house, very comfortable with everything you need right here. We used the kitchen a lot and it has everything (you need). We would love to come back. Everyone we spoke to before we rented and met when we arrived to get the keys were so nice and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay! I'm sure we'll be back! Great location for bike riding and close to the (bike) path....we road bikes everywhere!
