My husband and I planned a 4 day trip to the Monterey area for our 20th Anniversary. We could not have chosen a better place! Joele and Bill were charming hosts at their beautiful arts and crafts home 1 block from the Monterey Bay. We felt welcome immediately. Joele is a wonderful artist who painted each of the rooms in... more

Love it!

This is a great escape. We returned this year because of the fabulous service, accomadations and convenience of the property. Joelle is a wonderful host and makes you feel right at home. Parking is easy, access to the beach is just 1 minute by foot. When we travel to Pacific Grove and Monterey area, this is the only place we... more

My husband and I are planning to travel to the Monterey area in early September. We found the website and the amazing reviews for "A Swift Escape" back in April--we totally fell in love with the place. I emailed the innkeeper so we could get our room booked and were told that September reservations were not taken until July 1st.... more

My husband and I have stayed at many B&B's in Pacific Grove through the years. This year we went with another couple. This place was perfect for our little getaway. There are only two rooms and they share a living room and porch. We want some place where we could enjoy some time with old friends. This was the perfect... more

My wife and I were in Monterey and Pacific Grove for a quick stroll down memory lane, and needed a place to stay. Rather than stay at another run of the mill hotel, we decided to find a B&B and stumbled upon this one. Wow, are we ever glad we did! This property is stunning. Check-in was super easy, and... more

Once in a while you find that perfect place that you'd rather keep to yourself, but we don't want to be too selfish, so here's our favorite place to stay while exploring Monterey, Salinas, Pacific Grove, Carmel, and points south. A Swift Escape is one of those rare B & B's: totally charming, while retaining a real California feeling. Joele... more

We loved our experience at A Swift Escape. Joele and Bill were the most wonderful hosts. We felt we had enough privacy but enjoyed the time we spent with them. They gave us the name of a wonderful restaurant for dinner that was our favorite of the trip. We even had an impromtu jam session with Bill as my boyfriend... more

We were very pleased to find this small, intimate home-based bed and breakfast run out of 1915 Victorian home with a water view and equidistant from Monterey's attractions (aquarium, Fisherman's Wharf) and Pacific Grove's charms (restaurants, museums, cutesy downtown, natural history museum etc). Joele has lived in the area forever and can answer all your questions. This is THE place... more

We found this lovely new B&B through Craigslist and we were very happy we did. The owner lives in this 1915 Victorian and she took very good care of us. There was a lovely breakfast every morning at 7 a.m., as we requested. And a night, when we returned from a long day, there were chocolate chip cookies and granola... more
