About this house rental

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Villa by the Sea"! Sleeps up to 6 guests.

Location, location, location!
This custom European-style 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse-style home, just steps from Monterey Bay, has fantastic views of whitewater, sailboats, sea life and the mountains beyond.

The 1,800 sq ft home is just minutes to downtown Pacific Grove, Cannery Row and the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium and a short drive to Carmel or Pebble Beach. A walking and bike path along the shoreline extends from Cannery Row to Lover’s Point, past the famed succulent carpet of pink blooms, around Pt. Pinos with its trademark lighthouse, all the way to Spanish Bay and world-famous Pebble Beach.

A charming wooden gate welcomes you to a brick pathway lined with ferns and trumpet vines that leads to the front door. Enter a vaulted foyer with an Art Nouveau stained-glass chandelier, a hand-carved Moroccan mirror and an intricately carved antique wood chest from India.

The reverse floor plan takes full advantage of the bay views. Climb the stairs from the entryway and enter a spacious living room with rustic Old-World charm imparted by a beamed vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace with a carved and gilded wooden mirror over the mantle, a sofa and upholstered side chairs. The only touch of modernity is a large flat-screen TV with cable service. Bay windows look out to the handsome neighboring homes, Monterey cypresses and the ocean.

The upper level kitchen and dining room feature tranquil views of white-capped waves on the bay and beyond to distant mountains. Enjoy cooking in the fully-equipped, white ceramic-tiled kitchen from which you may catch sight of an occasional whale or a pod of dolphins. Cooks will enjoy the vintage Wolf gas stove, side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. A long countertop divides the cooking and dining areas which allows the cook to serve diners without missing any of the fun.

The adjacent dining area has a long wooden antique table seats up to 8 beneath a European wrought-iron chandelier. Enjoy daylight views of Monterey Bay sea life while dining.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 on the second-floor has a charmingly rustic character created by the wood-beamed ceiling, bronze Moroccan chandelier, king bed, walk-in closet and a view of the bay. The large terracotta tiled bathroom with its walk-in shower, his-and-her sinks and a separate commode complete the suite.

Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the lower level near the entrance of the home. Both feature rustic wrought-iron chandeliers, Parisian shutters as headboards and comfortable mattresses and linens.
Bedroom #2, with a garden view, has a king bed and a walk-in closet.
Bedroom #3 has an ocean view and a queen bed.
The lower level bathroom features a large step down tiled shower.

All three bedrooms have Smart TVs that are wifi-enabled so guests can log into their own streaming subscriptions (no cable; guests should bring their own logins to access their subscription accounts like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.).

A dedicated laundry room is located on the lower level.
One-car, detached garage, a driveway for 1 additional car, as well as ample on-street parking.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

This is a townhouse style home with a reverse floor plan. It is one side of a two unit building. See also #3096 to view the other unit.

Overall a great property. Extremely well equipped, complementary wine and cheese and a great view of Monterey Bay. Would only caution that the tile steps to the upper living area, master and kitchen are very narrow and steep. It was tricky and felt unsafe.

Property had no AC. This was not disclosed in listing. Got to property and unable to use one bedroom due to oder in closet bedroom. I paid 3x normal rates for car week and found property less than satisfactory. Dishes had food on them in cuboard and dishwater needs replacement as it does not clean well and soap dispenser does not work in dishwasher.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location is wonderful— we were a multi-generational family with oldest in the late sixties and the youngest a 2 year old. Having an easy walk to the Monterey Bay Aquarium was awesome! Nobody wants to continually stuff a toddler into a car seat every time you want to go somewhere to entertain them!Sanctuary staff were very responsive and helpful throughout the rental process and the stay. There were a few malfunctions in the property that were immediately and effectively addressed. Always pleasant to deal with and I feel that compensated for the inconvenience. Although the house is furnished nicely and the kitchen well stocked with utensils, etc., the kitchen cabinetry hasn’t been updated since the 80’s. So it is very worn, drawers don’t function well, tiled counter chipped in many locations; all combined to make the kitchen feel a bit grimy with age. Beds are comfy, view is lovely, and the location absolutely perfect.

Nice balcony to enjoy your cup of coffee in the early am overlooking the ocean. Easy walk to the aquarium and to the wharf and all the fun in between. The home was clean, beds very comfortable. We loved the closet with all the games. Appreciated the phone call from the property management to make sure we had everything we needed. This home and location is on our favorite list to come back to next year!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Heaven from reservations to check out. The people at Sanctuary all have terrific customer service skills and attitudes. Thank you for being so considerate. The house was beyond our imagination. Imagine two little girls finding flashlights by their beds upon arrival - sweet touch and the wine and cheese left for us was just what we needed after a long day of travel. The house is well appointed and an easy walk down to see the seals and the Aquarium. We walked it several times with no complaints from kids - just grandma and grandpas hips. Highly recommend this house. Very clean and nice!
