Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Pacific Grove Retreat"! Sleeps 5

Vintage charm and local history combine in this mid-century home, with ocean views from most windows and the elevated deck, and just 2 blocks away from the beach and a short walk from downtown Pacific Grove. Pacific Grove Retreat is perfect for just one month or for an extended stay and long term renters are welcome. A handsome desk in the third bedroom makes a perfect workspace.

The 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is close to everything and yet has a sense of privacy, surrounded by fencing and landscaping that hides the home from view. Built in 1948, the residence was originally the parsonage for the Lutheran Church of Monterey, and has had only one other owner since.

This home is all one level once inside and please note that there is a furnished, long term rental below your unit with a separate entrance from the other side of the house so your privacy will be assured.

The 1,200-square-foot house is just a 5-minute walk to shops and restaurants in downtown Pacific Grove, or to the beach and the Monterey Bay Recreational Trail. It’s also a 10-minute walk to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course is just a few minutes away by car, as is the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary and Asilomar State Park.

Downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea is also just a few minutes away by car, offering fine dining, shopping and day spas, and it’s also a 10-minute drive to golfing in Pebble Beach®, or 20 minutes to wine tasting in Carmel Valley.

Two entryways offer convenience for guests, with a front door that enters into the living room, and a stairway to the deck and kitchen from the ground-level garage and driveway. The spacious deck offers a gourmet gas grill, an outdoor table and chairs, and a patio heater that allows you to enjoy the ocean view even on cool days.

Adjacent to the deck is the kitchen, which has original cabinetry enhanced by updated tile countertops and backsplash, newer appliances and a four-burner gas stove, as well as a corner sink with large pull-out faucet. Next to the kitchen is a dining room with seating for six around a mission-style wood table.

The living room features a mix of mid-century and other period furniture around a layered stone wood-burning fireplace, the perfect place for enjoying board games or conversation, or watching the 40-inch HDTV. Large windows let in abundant light and hardwood floors are found throughout. Enhancing the décor are original paintings of the coast and nearby sights. Well-equipped for extended stays!
