Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Yellow House”! Home sleeps up to 8 guests.

This is an historic house within walking distance of restaurants, walking/bike path and other activities. The manager was very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Had plenty of room for 8. Location to the shore and views are stunning. Every morning was welcomed by the sound of the waves. Also walkable to Cannery and Wharf to enjoy the scenes. Homeowner was very approachable and enjoyable to talk to. When we checked in, she made herself available in case anything was needed so we felt comfortable.

Once again, the Yellow House was amazing. It has become our go to place for family vacations with our son and his family. The location is perfect - beautiful views and walking distance to Lover's Point and Cannery Row and the Aquarium. We are are already looking forward to our next visit.

Very comfortable. We all enjoyed the house very much. The only concern was the stair flooring was a bit slippery.

The house is very comfortable and spacious with a well equipped kitchen and a great location just steps from the ocean. We enjoyed off street parking for two cars and a handy washer and drier. We walked to Lovers Point, Pacific Grove ( restaurants, movies), Cannery Row the wharf, and a nice grocery store. We enjoyed a lovely 2-week stay.

The location of this vintage home property is excellent for enjoying both Pacific Grove and Monterey. Just a short walk to Lovers Point, the Beach House restaurant, book stores and thrift shops. Another 10 minute walk and you are at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row.
Last but not least the view from this home is beautiful!

We were in Monterey for our son's wedding. We had 6 adults in the house and still an extra room! We were very comfortable. The location couldn't be better. Lovely home with stunning views of the ocean.

My family had the pleasure of staying at a stunning beach view VRBO house in Pacific Grove, California, and I am still glowing with joy from the experience. From the moment I arrived, I knew I had stumbled upon a true gem. This tranquil haven, nestled near the Monterey Aquarium, exceeded all my expectations and delivered an unforgettable vacation.
The location of this VRBO house is simply unbeatable. Situated right off the beach, i woke up every morning to the soothing sound of crashing waves and the gentle touch of the ocean breeze. It was a dream come true for any beach lover. Plus, being so close to the Monterey Aquarium was an absolute bonus. I found myself wandering through fascinating underwater worlds by day and returning to my own private oasis by night.
As I stepped inside, I was immediately struck by the tasteful and elegant design of the historic house. Every detail had been meticulously thought out, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and serenity. The interior boasted a perfect blend of modern comfort and coastal charm, with spacious rooms, plush furniture, and large windows that offered breathtaking views of the ocean. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the carefully selected artwork to the cozy beach-themed decor. The beds were the most comfy I have ever had on vacation! And the owners are simply the best: there for any questions or needs but completely unobtrusive. We will definitely be back. This is my perfect vacation experience.

We were there for my son's graduation from DLI. We had a wonderful time and the location was perfect. I would have no quarrels about staying there again.
4.9
The house and location cannot be beat. The trail along the coast is a skip hop away. Canary Row and Lover’s Point are short walks. There are many yummy restaurants nearby too. It was wonderful to be with four generations under one roof at this unique and beautiful historic home.
4.9
The house is a charming old victorian with plenty of room to relax for our girls get-away. It is conveniently located near the Monterey Bay Aquarium, other local attractions and many great restaurants. We enjoyed our time; cooking in the large kitchen, walking along the waterfront and generally just hanging out and taking in the the views from the house while visiting. The property manager/home owner is extremely helpful and made the check-in process very easy.
4.9
Loved the place. Family kept saying what a perfect place it was for our needs. Was worried about my 98 year old mother making it up the stair to the bedroom, since there are no bedrooms on the main floor, but she did fine. We loved the large dinning table, well stocked kitchen and nice patio. Thank you, we had a wonderful time, so close to the walking trail and town.

Great place close to the ocean
We had a wonderful stay with 2 families at this great home. Is perfectly situated across the street from the ocean, close to downtown Pacific Grove and Monterey Bay aquarium. Would love to stay here again!

Great property and location!
Wonderful, wonderful! The only complaint is that the house is very loud – creaky floors/stairs and ambient hard surfaces – no one sneaks around (or sleeps in) in this house!

Our stay at the Yellow house was amazing! My family and I were celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Growing up in the Monterey area, we were so fortunate to be able to come back and stay here…with a BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean. Yellow house comfortably held the eight of us (5 adults and 3 kids). We could easily walk to the aquarium, and Lovers point was not that far away too. Thank you!

This property exceeded our expectations - it was just as described - very comfortable for 2 couples and their children to stay - so close to the water and the harbor seals and an easy walk to Cannery Row. We loved everything about this house. Irma was very communicative with us and readily explained things. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Highly recommend.

The location of this home is ideal! Beautiful ocean view and walking distance to the aquarium. The home is very well maintained, clean, and the little details like soft sheets and a well stocked kitchen truly made this rental feel like home. The property managers were very communicative and everything was as expected or better. We will certainly book again.

Reviewer Comments:
Note that the room above the garage is a separate rental (which we didn't realize until after booking). The description says the garage is not locked but it actually is so bikes can be left inside although there is no room to park a car. The clawfoot tub was marked as unusable which was disappointing. The house is pretty creaky in some spots which is to be expected with an older house. The owner was very helpful and responsive.

Lovely home-perfect location.
This home was exactly what we had hoped. Our group consisted of 7 family members. 3 from the east coast and 4 from California. One of the east coast people had never been to California and did not want to leave..

Great location, and great view. While no one expects an historic house to have modern amenities, the house is tired and needs maintenance. Primary bedroom sink didn’t drain and backed up with yucky live gnats and dirt. 2nd bathtub was not usable. Downstairs bath sink did not have hot water. Some wall plugs were inoperable so charging electronics required switching out phones. Squeaky doors needed WD 40.

We chose the property for the location and it did not disappoint. It is an easy walk to the aquarium, parks, restaurants, and shops. Great views of the ocean. The house was clean and comfortable. We would stay again!

Family adventure!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Yellow House. The location is just spectacular, with views of the rocky shoreline of Monterey Bay. Morning walks were inspirational and we agreed that we'd all be in better shape if we lived so close to the ocean path! Everyone (eight of us) was happy with their sleep arrangements and privacy. A favorite spot for the kids was the window seat with the ocean view. Irma was there to greet us, which was a nice touch, for sure. All told, it was an excellent experience.

While it was smaller than I anticipated, it was cozy and clean and of course we were within steps of the ocean, restaurants, the Aquarium …. everything. The kitchen had all essentials. We were there for a wedding so we were eating out most of the time, but it would be a great place to cook and entertain. It was expensive, but it was Carmel, after all.
