About this house rental
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Ships Watch"! Sleeps up to 7 guests.
This lovely Victorian home in Pacific Grove harkens back to Monterey Bay’s past as a shipping and fishing port, with vintage nautical touches and coastal artifacts that will make guests feel as though they’ve stepped back in time.
At the same time, the 4-bedroom, 2-bath home has been extensively remodeled with modern conveniences and a spacious yard that’s perfect for outdoor relaxation.
Its location is also ideal for enjoying the wonders of Pacific Grove — it’s just a few steps from shopping and dining in the quaint downtown, or a 10-minute walk to the beach or to the butterfly groves. It’s also only 5 minutes by car to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, 10 minutes to shopping in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and 15 minutes to golf and fine dining in Pebble Beach®.
Windows and skylights throughout the home bring in warm natural light as well as offering great views of Monterey Bay from the upper story.
The 1,400-square-foot two-story home, built in 1890, has been completely refurbished for guests’ comfort, with a nautical color scheme in reds, blues and tans, vintage furniture, a window seat in the front room’s bay window, a fully equipped kitchen and a backyard fenced for privacy, which includes a hand-laid flagstone patio.
The pet-friendly home features a cozy front room with a gas fireplace featuring hand painted tile, where games and books will keep guests entertained on evenings around the fire. A 50-inch HDTV is available over the fireplace, and an adjacent sitting area with chaise lounge and console table is another place to curl up with a good book.
The large dining room table seats 8 on slip-covered parson’s chairs, and the updated kitchen includes taupe tile floors, quartz composite counter tops, new appliances that include a gas range, and a deep porcelain farmhouse sink with gooseneck faucet. Well-equipped for extended stays!
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 with a queen bed is located downstairs, is decorated in the same vintage nautical theme, and the nearby bathroom on this level has a large custom-tiled shower in ocean colors as well as an adjustable shower head.
The second floor features three bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as a children’s play area with beanbag chairs and a TV with DVD player. Bedroom #2 has a California king bed, Bedroom #3 has two twin beds and Bedroom #4 has one twin bed. The bathroom on this upper level features vintage tile floors and a pedestal sink as well as an old-fashioned clawfoot bathtub to which an adjustable shower head has been added.
The side yard contains a small seating area and a fire pit perfect for quiet chats at twilight.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE YARD: Guests are asked to keep voices at a respectful volume at all times (conversations should not be heard outside the property line) and to bring all outdoor conversations/activities INSIDE by 8pm due to the close proximity of nearby neighbors who are sensitive to noise. Homes are close together in this tight-knit, quiet neighborhood.
A one-car garage with bonus room for beach gear is available as well, in addition to driveway and street parking.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.
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!

We had a lovely stay at Ship's Watch. The kitchen is bright and fresh and the rest of the house is casual. The yard is nice with chairs (but remember to be quiet after 8pm.). You can walk 3 blocks to a bookstore/cafe, 5 to a fantastic bakery, and 8 to the beach.It has a nice queen bedroom on the ground floor with a full bath around the corner. It also has a king bedroom at the top of the stairs which shares a bathroom with 2 cute little rooms--one suitable for a younger child.Sanctuary Rentals is very responsive to any questions or concerns.And the place is dog friendly which is welcome. The garage is a bit small so will only fit a smaller car and you are asked to park the second car in the driveway.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a lovely old home with some thoughtful updates, especially to the kitchen. Very “by the sea” themed decor, which was fun for us as visitors. Be advised that there is one neighbor who is VERY sensitive to noise. She went out of her way at noon on a Saturday to come gripe at us for the “noise” our children were making (literally, she was complaining about the laughter of small children). The attic bedroom also smells a bit musty and like dogs or cats - this wouldn’t have been a big deal but we had our children sleeping in that room, and it was unpleasant to live with for a month. We were happy overall with Sanctuary and plan to book with them again.

Great place for a family
Location is great, very convenient. House furnishings are a bit worn down. Perfect for a family but not upscale if that is what you are looking for. Property management company is great and easy to work with.

Our stay was fantastic..beyond meeting our expectations. The property is just blocks from everything
In keeping with the charm of PG the home is a lovely Heritage House and has retained that charm, even though it's been nicely updated. The side-yard, with firepit and patio was nice at the end of the day. To have a garage to store bikes and surf boards was so important, we didn't realize how great it would be to have that space. Its location couldn't be better. We didn't want to leave. Five stars!

Great location, Old house
Great location and lots of space in the house. The kitchen has been updated and there are plenty of towels and the sheets are nice and clean. The management company was very easy to work with too. We loved the location and walking to bakeries and restaurants and evening the beach. The layout worked for us too.
It is an old house though and the upstairs is pretty worn. The upstairs carpet is not in great condition and the upstairs bath is really falling apart. There’s tiles broken on the floor and trim coming off the wall. There’s also an old house smell to it. It was a good place to stay given we had a dog and 5 people with us, but I’m not sure I would choose it again.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our second stay with Sanctuary Rentals. Our first experience was top notch so when returning to Monterey we only looked at Sanctuary properties. We were hugely disappointed with Ships Watch. It is spacious and roomy but that is where the benefits stop. Upon entering the house we were greeted with a dank smelling home. Our dust allergies immediately flared up as it was evident this home hadn't had a deep clean and in quite some time. Furniture and carpeting were deeply soiled throughout the home. We spilled some water on the kitchen floor and upon wiping it up with a paper towel it was black with dirt. Walking around in socks yielded deeply soiled socks so we just kept our shoes on to avoid this. Woke up to make coffee and the the reservoir for water was caked with grime and actually had hair in it. After 20 mn of cleaning it we attempted to make coffee. All the pans are calphalon but most cooking utensils are metal therefore the non stick coating on most pans was peeling. Both oven pans hadn't been appropriately washed in forever and were barely usable. There were cobwebs visible in most rooms. The lower dishwasher rack could not be moved back and forth so had to be lifted up to load and unload. There are viewss of the ocean but the windows were so dirty we couldn't enjoy them. For the price tag this property was unnacceptabke and we will be hesitant to trust the Sanctuary brand in the future.

Wonderful place to relax!
Our family had a wonderful week! We lovesd sitting by the fire on the patio and there was plenty of room for all of us (6 adults, 1 baby, 1 dog)! The kitchen was well stocked so we could cook in, and the proximity to Lighthouse Ave was perfect when we wanted to walk to our meal instead. We'd gladly return for our next stay in Pacific Grove.

Spacious home close to town
This house is the second vacation rental our family has done with Sanctuary Rentals. They do a fantastic job of providing a welcoming place, with tasteful decorating, soft towels, comfortable bedding, and wine & cheese. They provide top-notch service with excellent communication. This home is spacious, with 3 bedrooms upstairs. There are several options for room setup. The home is very close to the main shopping/restaurant area of Pacific Grove. There is off-street parking, including a garage. Pets welcomed with pet beds and food bowls. Gas fireplace outside and gas fire pit outside.

Very comfortable stay.
Our group of 6 was very comfortable in this house. It’s an old house with a lot of character in a quiet neighborhood. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Very nice updated kitchen. We loved having coffee in the morning outside by the gas fire pit (much cooler there than we anticipated!). Upper single bed really best for a child, but other 3 bedrooms were good size. Long walk to the ocean but easy drive to everything we wanted to see. Enjoyed our stay!

Delightful home for a family gathering
Perfect home for a family gathering; we loved sitting outside by the fire, eating meals around the lovely dining table and gathering in the living room. The house was equipped with thoughtful amenities and very comfortable. Great location to many options for exploring.
