3263 Villa by the Sea ~ Newly Remodeled, Bay View

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

Location, location, location!
This custom 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse-style home was just remodeled in 2025 with new flooring, appliances and many updated furnishings. Just steps from Monterey Bay this home has fantastic views of the bay, sailboats, sea life and the Santa Cruz 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 a chandelier, a mirror and a wood chest.

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 charm imparted by a vaulted beamed ceiling, gas fireplace with a carved wooden mirror over the mantle, a sofa and upholstered side chairs. There 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 kitchen (remodeled in 2025) from which you may catch sight of an occasional whale or a pod of dolphins. Cooks will enjoy the 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 table that seats up to 8 beneath a chandelier. Enjoy daylight views of Monterey Bay sea life while dining.
