Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. 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.

A great house with a fantastic location. The only downside was all the people stopping in front to write down the phone number for rental info.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed a month in this costal cottage. It was comfortable and cozy. It is centrally located and a fabulous view! It was well maintained and had many of the comforts of home. We enjoyed the sun rises and the wildlife. Easy walk to park and restaurants..

Location was excellent. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Beautiful ocean front windows to see whales and sea lions. We loved the views! Home was dated but acceptable!

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!

The cottage was lovely and close to many venues. The view was exquisite and the beds were very comfortable. My friends and I had a very relaxing 4 days.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This cottage is just wonderful. My daughters and I hated to leave. The views are amazing, the location perfect. Management made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. This is a little gem...you won't be disappointed. We look forward to coming back!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay, darling beach house! Sanctuary Rentals is a great management company!
