About this house rental
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Oceanview Serenity"! Sleeps up to 4 guests including children.
Oceanview Serenity has been recently updated and completely furnished with new beds, furniture and decor.
A charming cottage with a stunning 180-degree view of the Monterey Bay offers the best of all worlds in Pacific Grove — close to the beach, but also an easy walk to downtown Pacific Grove, historic Cannery Row and other attractions.
The 930-square-foot pet-friendly home (maximum two small dogs no more than 15lbs each) is directly across the street from the beach and the Monterey Recreational Trail, and is just a few steps from spectacular Lover’s Point. The restaurants, galleries and shops of downtown Pacific Grove are just a 5-minute walk away, and there is also easy access to Asilomar, 17-Mile Drive, and the highly rated Pacific Grove Golf Links. It’s also a short walk to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, or 10 minutes by car to downtown Monterey, 10 minutes to shopping in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and 15 minutes to golf and fine dining in Pebble Beach®.
The 2-bedroom, 2-bath home built in 1934 has been recently painted and redecorated to enhance its vintage charm. A brick pathway leads to the front door, past the Adirondack chairs that are a perfect spot to sip morning coffee and drink in views of the bay at any hour of the day.
Inside the home, a cozy living room and dining room feature large picture windows, taking advantage of the spectacular view, and guests will be able to see boats, birds, and even whales out on the water.
Beach-themed décor in soothing shades of blue, sand and driftwood brings the outdoors inside, harmonizing with the rustic living room that features a vaulted wood ceiling, 65" Ultra HDTV with a connected sound bar and blue ray DVD and a gas burning fireplace. Upholstered chairs and a comfortable sofa provide a place for conversation, reading or playing games, or just sitting and enjoying the bay vistas.
Hardwood floors and board-and-batten walls can be found throughout the home, as well as vintage lighting.
The sunny kitchen is also a pleasant reminder of past eras but enhanced with new appliances, including a gas cook top, wall oven, and dishwasher. The adjacent dining room table that seats six is also next to a large picture window. Well-equipped for extended stays!
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 features a queen bed and a large closet.
Bedroom #2 contains two twin beds, as well as an en suite bathroom with a shower.
A second bathroom with combination tub/shower is accessed from the hallway.
Guests can also enjoy the large fenced backyard, where a gas grill and patio seating are perfect for al fresco dining. The outdoor space is sunny and protected, with views of the bay visible through the home’s picture windows.
At the rear of the house, a one-car garage offers space for parking a vehicle and for stowing beach gear. Additional parking is available on the street.
Well-behaved dogs under 15 lbs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.
Please note that as of November 2023 there is an ongoing residential construction project on a home next door. Work hours are usually between 8am and 5pm per city ordinance.
This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of our team and the homeowner. Extended stays are often possible.
This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

Oceanview Serenity is a great place to stay! We have just returned from our fourth January staying in this adorable yellow cottage and we love it. It is full of personality and the location is ideal for walking to town, to Lovers Point, or the gorgeous coastal trail in both directions! It isn’t huge and it isn’t fancy, but it is charming, for sure. Perfect for people who are not extra large, as some areas are rather tight. That said, we were perfectly happy and comfy and have booked it for 2025!

It used to be a very responsive company dealing with issue quickly and effectively. Not this time. We had to send multiple texts and make multiple calls to draw their attention to the issues in the house. Many of our requests remained unresolved till the end of our stay. Unacceptable. Moving to Monterey Vacation Rentals.

The location of this cottage is absolutely perfect if you like to walk the coastal trail! It’s right out your front door. For bikers, you can store your bicycles in the garage and ride down the alley to easily access bike trails. Things we especially loved about this home were the many windows, giving stellar views up and down the coast. The backyard was sunny and private. The house had some tiny, tight spots, but it worked well for us. We’ve already booked it for next year!

Needed a change of scenery from several months in the same home office setup, and stay happened to coincide with horrible smoke from fires. Very happy to have a nearby escape for the month.
On arrival, saw wildlife galore (deer, squirrels, harbor seals, and otters). Convenient 5-min walk to kayak rentals and beautiful Lovers Point park. Easy walk to both Cannery Row and Asilomar beach.
Place was extremely comfortable and had everything you would need at home. Don't bother with the extras (e.g., binoculars, chairs, grill, towels, cooking stuff, picnic stuff, etc.). And very nice and clean.
Loved it and will look to book again.

Reviewer Comments:
This house has a spectacular view. I could have stayed another month and spent my days staring out at the ocean. But it was extremely expensive for a rental in the condition it is in. Despite assurances on the Serenity website that the house has been thoroughly cleaned to Covid protection standards, the floor was so dirty it turned a mop (which I asked management to buy for me) black with each swipe; the towels were stained and old; the sheets were worn; the umbrella in the back yard was broken; there was so much dust under the beds, on a hardwood floor, that when I turned a fan on one night the room became a dust bowl; the dishes and silverware all had to pulled from the cupboards and washed (stained coffee cups, food on silverwear and a few plates, dirty pots); there were cigarette butts in the backyard; the sofa had stains; the walls were filthy; the toilet requires two visits from a plummer... You get the picture. For $7K, I spent more time cleaning and maintaining than enjoying. The management company did credit the cleaning fees, and offered to send cleaners in again (which we weren’t comfortable with mid-pandemic), but nobody called me, ever, to discuss my concerns. But oh, that view. And the house, has it been clean and kept up, was adorable.

This was our first trip to Pacific Grove and we found everything we wanted easily accessible. The house was perfect, right on the water, seal watching right from our front steps (and a pod of dolphins, sea otters, etc). Big Sur and Point Lobos are easy drives, and many roadside parks make for fun and easy hikes. A trail across the street lead for miles in each direction for runs, walk to a coffee and breakfast spot just up the street. Everyone from Sanctuary was excellent. This made for a top notch experience!

Beautiful view in a very comfy setting
This property is very well maintained and spacious enough for a family. The backyard is awesome for little dogs, no way for them to escape. Great for our toddler too. You are steps from Lover's Point beach and restaurant which make this home the perfect place to stay. The view of the ocean from the dining and living room are amazing. You simply cannot go wrong staying here. The bed was super comfortable for a back or side sleeper. The close proximity to the supermarket or canary row make this a wonderful spot to spend a vacation. We would absolutely stay here again. We thank the owner's for sharing their beautiful home with us and others.

Cozy little house with wonderful views!
We had a very nice stay at this cozy little home right across the road from the ocean. We watched whales breach as we sat at the kitchen table. Pretty special!

Great location right on the beach
You can not beat the location of this house. You are directly across from the beach with amazing views while eating breakfast at the table, sitting on the couch in the living room, or in the chairs out front. Just a short drive from food, golf, and the aquarium. We would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

Best vacation ever!
This house is without a doubt the best home we have ever rented. It is small but has everything you need and your front yard is the Pacific Ocean. We will definitely be back.

Perfect Vacation Home
A wonderful home with incredible views of Monterrey Bay. The living areas offer continual views of the kelp forests and sea otters, along with binoculars to zoom in on spouting whales. The fireplace took the chill off in the morning (a furnace is also available), and open windows kept the house comfortable later in the day. The kitchen is well furnished; we had breakfast, and half of our mid-day and evening meals there. Beds were comfortable, dressing closets very handy, and bathrooms were well stocked. The washer and dryer in the garage were appreciated. After a day of viewing tide pools, driving down PCH 1, going whale watching, or hiking around the bay, having tea in the living room and still enjoying the view is marvelous. Thank you for sharing your home.

Amazing Views and Super location
It was such a nice spectacle views from this House. We walked every day along the path across the street and very good resturants within a few block. Perfect for two couples.

Pacific grove - awesome
The location and view couldn't be any better. We sat on the chairs out front everyday. Everything is really comfortable and there is a lot of closet space too. It's an older house but very well maintained. Backyard is an added feature and the washer machine and dryer worked well too! I was happy hanging out at the house and taking walks from there. We took our little senior dog and she loved going across the street and exploring on the paths. Property managers are great! So close to anything you want to do. Walked to town & cannery row. Close to 17mile drive etc.

Five star views. House is well kept and staff is excellent
We stayed here for 8 days and had a fabulous time. The views from the house are spectacular and all we had to do is cross the street to access the paths along the shore. We saw seals, whales and lots of birds. The flowers were blooming all along the coast.
The house has everything you need,.
We couldn't give it five stars because we have stayed in more modern and roomier houses
The furniture decor is relatively new and attractive, but there were no comfortable places to sit and watch TV.
The beds were very comfortable.
We plan to return.

Great location, charming house
The location was perfect, right in front of walking paths along the shore. We watched the seals play and had a whale sighting. Parking was on the street but not a problem. The beds were comfortable and the gas fireplace appreciated on the cool nights. We were very pleased with the house.

Pleasantly Perfect Place
Loved this quaint little cottage with the unique view. Not only is it directly across the street but the view can be enjoyed from the comfort of the couch, also! Did they happen to mention that a sunrise (which is unusual for the west coast area) can be viewed from bed with the master bedroom door open. How awesome it was!
Everything you've could want to for an enjoyable stay is not left to chance.
