Reviewer Comments:
This was a great place to stay. The location was first rate, the house was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the check in was smooth. Would recommend.
This beautiful home steps from the water was a great place for our family vacation! More relatives stayed right across the street at the Green Gables inn, and it was convenient to be all together. The home is historic and well cared for, and although we wished the second bedroom bathtub had been in working order, we were overall very comfortable.

Thank you for your kind review! We look forward to having you stay with us again soon! We'll look into the bathtub issue.
We adored the house. The location and views were spectacular. It accommodated our family of four beautifully - everyone had privacy, access to bathrooms, and room to enjoy themselves. We appreciated that the rules for the house were few and very reasonable. Mostly, we loved looking out the windows at the water and the easy access to waterfront and the town. We plan to come back!

The location was truly incredible. Could not have asked for a better location. The house was extremely clean. Our host could not have been more accommodating, friendly and provided excellent communication. We will absolutely rebook this house the next time we are in the area.

This house was perfect for us. Fantastic location. We were in town for car week (for the first time) and were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get around from this location. Then, when we were done for the day, it was nice to get back to a quiet, comfortable house. The owner communicated very well. We ate most meals at the house. The kitchen was very well equipped and we used the grill several nights. The dishwasher worked great. All bathrooms had plenty of towels and functioned well. It’s an older house, but has been nicely updated. We hope to be back next year and will definitely stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
If it wasn’t for the beautiful weather and good friends who live locally, it would’ve been one of the worst family vacations we’ve experienced with Sanctuary Vacations Rentals. We feel that we have been ignored and totally taken advantage of up to this point. I have rented from your company in years past and never experienced what we experienced this last trip.
This place is absolutely adorable and awesome! Fantastic views of the bay, easy walking from the house to Lover's Point in one direction and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in the other, with good coffee and food options in between. Rooms are spacious and clean, and the overall feel of the house was homey and cheerful! The host is very friendly, communicative and easy to reach. Kitchen has just about everything you need, with enough counter space to arrange for meals at the house if desired. Parking is very easy in the area. If you love listening to the ocean waves to sleep to, this place has it! Take advantage of the window seat whenever you can for a relaxing cup of coffee or glass of wine while taking in a view of the water with the occasional otters appearing.

This property was perfect for our family attending our son s wedding. The location was great. Walking distance to both Lover’s point and the aquarium. The window seat was our favorite spot to hang out, read and just enjoy the view. Good bed and storage and a well equipped kitchen. Parents with small children should bring their own plasticware.

Thanks for your wonderful review, we are so pleased you enjoyed the home and the lovely location.
Historic house built in 1918 with good "bones." Fabulous location near sites in area with a great view of the ocean. Kitchen is not high tech but outstandingly stocked to cook meals for a family. Upstairs is subdivided into bedrooms as was done in houses this old, with one bedroom not having direct access to a bathroom. Closets too are not an easy fit but are available with some drawer space depending on the bedroom decor.
Best location for walking the trail, walking to the Aquarium & Cannery Row, just sitting in the window watching the waves! Easy driving to Pacific Grove Main Street, back through Monterey to go to the Wharf or up to Trader Joe’s! This house is a Historical 1905 house, bright inside with all the windows! It is full of character & charm! Comfortable beds! Just be prepared to take shoes off when inside to help keep the original floors from modern day scuffing! so pack your slippers! Many windows do not open much but we found keeping them open created a nice cross breeze and kept the house at a nice temperature. The water pressure in the showers is a little light but we managed. Hot water is hot!! Loved sitting on the back deck for coffee in the morning & glass of wine in the evening! This is a great house to rent for a multigenerational family like we did! Our grandkids had fun playing hide & seek inside because of all the fun hiding places!! I especially loved the owner Irma, calling me to be sure everything was okay! We are all about staying in old houses with character. We would definitely rent this house again in the future if our plans take us back to Monterey!
