What a delight. This estate from the early 1900s is right on the water, a fifteen minute walk West to Lover's Point or fifteen minute walk East to the aquarium. The property is older and doesn't have all the modern bells and whistles, i.e. no tv or electronics in room, older outlets, older plumbing, but that is part of the charm. The interior, complete with antique furnishings throughout, is a step into a more bygone era, right down to the full service silver in the dining room. The private estate has been the Martine Inn for over 40 years. Breakfast is all made on premises whether it is muffins, cinnamon bread or english muffin and combined into things like french toast with a custard top or english muffin with a scramble of egg, artichoke hearts vegetables and cheese on top and the coffee is top line. Not a large breakfast, but just the thing to start the day. Our room was furnished with antique desk, wardrobe, small table and chairs though the bed had a newer and very comfortable mattress. The only drawbacks to our room was the built in shower which was extremely small and the bed linens were a bit thin meaning we had to keep the heat up a bit at night. There is a library, a conference room and several spots outside to sit. The dining room has a wall of windows facing the ocean where we watched a couple of sea otters playing in the surf as well as some seals cruising by. The staff all made us feel right at home and were available anytime. Innkeeper Yuri was a true delight. We've stayed a few places in Pacific Grove and we will definitely be coming back here.
