Andril Fireplace Cottages

A Romantic Coastal Hideaway in Pacific Grove

Andril Fireplace Cottages is a third-generation, family-run retreat tucked among Monterey pines on the western edge of Monterey Bay. Across from Asilomar State Park and a short walk from Asilomar State Beach, it blends classic cottage charm with thoughtful modern comforts, earning consistently high guest ratings for tranquility, cleanliness, and warm, attentive service.

This is an ideal base for couples seeking a quiet, romantic escape close to the ocean, with enough space and amenities to feel like a private coastal home rather than a typical hotel.

Romantic Accommodations with Fireplaces and Patios

Andril offers a wide variety of units, but many are especially well suited to couples’ getaways:

King Bed Units

Cozy, value-friendly rooms with memory-foam king beds, twin pull-out beds, micro‑kitchenettes, and gas fireplaces. Each has a private, fully fenced patio with a table and chairs, which is ideal for morning coffee in the forest air or an intimate evening by the fire after a walk on the beach.

Single-Room and Suite Cottages

For more space and seclusion, couples gravitate toward the single-room king cottages, upstairs king cottage, and suite cottages:

• Wood-burning or gas fireplaces for fireside evenings.
• Full, well-equipped kitchens with Keurig coffee makers and complimentary popcorn.
• Comfortable seating areas designed for lingering with a glass of wine or a movie.
• Private enclosed decks or balconies, some overlooking the English garden.
• Private Jetted tub in the upstairs king cottage for added indulgence.

Larger two-bedroom cottages and grand homes (Casa Linda and Rancho Reposo) work well for couples traveling with friends or extended family, offering separate sleeping spaces without sacrificing the cozy atmosphere.

Amenities that Enhance a Couples’ Retreat

Relaxation and Leisure

• Outdoor hot tub centrally located and fenced for privacy, perfect for warming up after a chilly coastal walk.
• Peaceful English garden with fountain and seating, offering a sheltered nook for quiet conversation or reading.
• Large lawns and shaded patios that invite picnics, casual lounging, or star‑gazing on clear nights.
• Extensive Blu‑ray library (500+ titles) and in‑room large flat‑screen TVs with HBO, ideal for low‑key movie nights.

Thoughtful Daily Comforts

• To-go breakfast each morning from the front office.
• Snack bar available late morning through evening, with drinks and nibbles.
• In‑room Keurig machines and complimentary popcorn, adding to the homey, movie‑night feel.
• Daily housekeeping that keeps cottages exceptionally clean, a point repeatedly praised by guests.

Pet-Friendly for Couples Traveling with Dogs

All units are pet-friendly (with a nightly fee). Private enclosed patios, a large communal lawn, toys, waste bags, and complimentary treats make it easy to bring a four‑legged companion on a romantic break without sacrificing comfort or cleanliness.

Service and Atmosphere

As a long‑established family business, Andril emphasizes genuine hospitality over formality. Guests frequently mention friendly, accommodating staff who happily give room tours, share local tips on hiking trails and restaurants, and maintain a welcoming atmosphere that encourages repeat visits.

The property’s quiet hours, non‑smoking interiors, and limited traffic on the driveway help preserve a serene environment that couples appreciate, whether staying for a quick weekend or a longer retreat.

Setting: Pines, Ocean Air, and Peaceful Nights

Located on Asilomar Avenue in Pacific Grove, the property enjoys a notably calm, low‑traffic atmosphere with assigned parking at each unit. Guests highlight the peaceful setting, the sense of privacy between cottages, and the easy access to nature.

Just about 10 minutes on foot leads to Asilomar State Beach, a one‑mile stretch of white sand and rocky coves perfect for sunset walks, tide‑pooling, or watching surfers.

Couples can also stroll the boardwalks and trails of Asilomar State Park, visit the nearby Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary in season, or explore the historic Point Pinos Lighthouse.

Nearby Experiences for Two

From the cottages, couples can easily enjoy some of the Monterey Peninsula’s most romantic activities:

• Sunset and coastal walks along Asilomar State Beach and the Great Tide Pool.
• Golf with ocean views at Pacific Grove Golf Links or nearby Pebble Beach courses.
• Sea life encounters via whale‑watching tours, scuba diving, or simply watching otters and sea lions in Monterey Bay.
• Intimate dining in Pacific Grove and Carmel, from cozy cafes to acclaimed seafood restaurants.

Why It Works as a Romantic Getaway

Andril Fireplace Cottages suits couples who value atmosphere, space, and authenticity over flashy luxury. Fireplaces, private patios, jetted tubs in select units, a hot tub, garden nooks, and an easy walk to the beach create a naturally romantic setting, while fair pricing and generous in‑room amenities deliver strong value.

For a relaxed, coastal couples’ escape that feels more like a private cabin in the woods than a conventional hotel, yet is minutes from the best of Monterey, Pebble Beach, and Carmel, Andril Fireplace Cottages is a standout choice.
