Park your car, and walk everywhere from this pet and family-friendly cottage — where you can hear the cry of seagulls during the day and the murmur of waves at night — just a few minutes' walk away from spectacular Lovers Point beach, and restaurants and shopping in downtown Pacific Grove.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath newly remodeled historic home, known as the C.A. McCoy House and built originally in 1887, features an open floor plan with modern amenities.

It’s also only a few minutes by car to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row.

My family and I were so impressed with this rental that we hope to book it again next year! It was clean, it's proximity to both the beach as well as old town PG was amazing, and we were even able to walk to the aquarium! The home is well stocked with what you may need, beds were comfy, and the kitchen was nice to have to avoid eating out for every meal.

This was our first time staying at a house in Pacific Grove and it turned out great. The three bedrooms worked greaat for the three generations of our family. The home is somewhat small but it worked very well, even when another family joined us for dinner at the house one evening. The location is fantastic, between the bay and the restaurants and shops on Lighthouse Ave. We even walked to the Aquarium.

I loved the fact that this is a new rental and hasn’t shown much signs of wear having been nicely newly remodeled. Comfortable stay here. Nice layout for how small the home is. The glass table was not my favorite and the living room furniture was not comfortable. The landscaping could use some fine tuning. If those things were improved I could justify the high price. It was nice to have a small designated parking spot and the ability to easily walk to either lovers point or Red House cafe. The location was great and we liked being able to bring our little dog. Sanctuary has always been a great agency to rent from although they are very expensive. An earlier check in and later check out would be appreciated especially with the price you pay.

My children and I stayed at this adorable beach cottage for spring break. The location can’t be beat. It was a 5 minute walk to Lover’s Point and a 5 minute walk to downtown Pacific Grove. The property was bright and airy. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfy. The property management company was amazing to work with. We appreciated the welcome goodies waiting for us when we arrived. If you are looking for a place to stay in Pacific Grove look no further.

Surf’s Up beach cottage in Pacific Grove is a magical place to stay. Comfortable, clean with all the comforts of home. Walking distance to Lovers Point, restaurants and shops. And management by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals was classy. They greet you with the warmest touches!!!!

One suggestion-some table/reading lamps in the living room would make the living room much more comfortable.

This property in Monterrey was a total win! The location was killer - right by the water, perfect for sunset walks, and next to a park that kept the kiddos busy. Plus, it was super clean and nicely updated, making it a comfy home base for the whole family.
Downtown and Cannery Row were very close which was helpful. We loved exploring the city and checking out all the amazing restaurants (so many delicious options within walking distance!).
Shout out to the hosts too - they were accommodating and always there to answer our questions.
Overall, this property was a total gem. We had a blast and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and convenient stay in Monterrey!

The house was in a great location. Easy to get to many locations. I would just add that there is a size limit for the off street parking space. Only smaller vehicles will fit, otherwise you will need to park on the limited street parking.

A great property in Pacific Grove. Really well located for local cafes and amenities, as well as a short drive to Carmel and the 17 Mile Drive. Also great for driving further afield to Big Sur. The property is in great condition, clean and with great additional features such as beach towels and toiletries. Thank you!

As described and in a chilled out location away from the very busy Fisherman’s Wharf area. Short walk to Lovers Point and a small park a block away. Property as described and felt like a home from home.

Family members enjoyed walking to the beach and town stores which were all within minutes. House very clean and comfortable for our group of five ages 40-58. Communication with management company was very prompt and professional. Great place to enjoy Monterey, PG and Pebble Beach!

We had a great stay here. The house was very clean and cozy. Super close to a nice beach with tide pools and a number of places to eat. Also easy access to the bike path- just a mile to the aquarium! My kids didn't want to leave.

From the moment we walked in to the house we were impressed. Soft music was playing and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers! The house was sunny and bright, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. Comfy beds and spacious showers were a plus! The house is a short walk to the beach at Lover’s Point. We will definitely return.

the stay was great...the communication with the property manager was great...the only surprise was an added charge that was disclosed at the end of the renting process. once was aware of it i could have cancelled but chose to stay with that property because of location... i will be more attentive next time. but i would give the stary it self 5 stars

Fortunate to find shelter in an idyllic setting during yet another atmospheric river. Even more fortunate to have one clear day to glimpse the full beauty of its surroundings— can’t wait to return when things dry out!
4.9
The property is really nice and clean. We had major construction noise next door all day. The manager of the property was very responsive to our issues and complained to the county. My only addition would be window coverings in the back bedroom so it is not so bright. Ideal location, very nice kitchen and bathrooms. Beds were quite comfortable. Without the construction issues (which are temporary) a great place to stay

We had a group of 4 for my husbands birthday. Very convenient location! We all had a great time.
4.9
From the start it felt like home. We arrived on a cold and rainy evening, found the home to be warm with music playing when we walked in. The home has been delightfully remodeled with up to date living. Plenty of space to relax. Walking distance to downtown PG and the water.
The reason I gave the neighborhood 4 stars is because a stranger walked up while we were unpacking the car and rudely told us we were parked wrong and could start a fire. He then said he knew the owner. The neighbor clearly doesn’t like the homes being rented.
Besides this experience, the stay was fantastic.

4.9
The house is in an ideal location in Pacific Grove: 1 block from Lover's Point and the oceanside walking trail, 2 blocks from downtown, 5 minutes from the weekly farmer's market, and a very short drive to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, 17-Mile Drive, Trader Joe's, etc. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything more perfectly situated.
The house, originally built circa1880, has been very nicely updated, with all mod cons, and has a clean, modern feel. It's well-stocked with plenty of bath soaps, trash bags, laundry soap, TP, etc. - clearly someone is thinking things through.
However, the house is small and comfortably accommodates no more than four adults (or two adults and three children). We were five adults, and at times it felt cramped. The allotted parking space is very, very tight - even a compact car would be a squeeze. And the kitchen isn't stocked for gourmet cooking, so plan to bring your own if you want to do a lot of cooking.

Surfs Up was exactly as photographed. The home was immaculately clean, cozy and comfortable. The beds were awesome and every amenity was covered. The bathrobes were so great that we drove to Carmel to visit Amie in hopes to buy some to take home. That was the only “miss”, that they don’t sell them. We couldn’t have found a nicer, more conveniently located, wonderful home to spend our week near Monterey.

We loved our stay at Surfs Up. This house was perfect for our family of 4 inc. 2 preschoolers. great location to the park, beach, and amazing pizza! Love the decor and modern feel. Had all of the amenities we needed and bonus wine and snacks!
I wish I can give this a 5 star but the tankless water heater kept going out, which is not ideal when you crave a hot shower after running 13.1 miles. Luckily, the property management firm is responsive both times! hope they consider replacing the system, bc we would LOVE to come stay again!
