3804 Mermaid Loft ~ Near Ocean & Recreation Trail

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Mermaid Loft”! Sleeps 2

A romantic hideaway made just for two awaits you near Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, just steps from the Beach and the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail, and within easy walking distance of downtown dining and shopping. Watch twinkling lights on the bay in the evening from this upper story loft and the serene bay each day. Kayak and bike rentals can be found just a couple blocks away at Lover's Point.

This 1-bedroom, 1-bath home is a perfect place to enjoy the best of the Monterey Peninsula, since it’s conveniently located near some of the region’s prime attractions, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Monarch Sanctuary, and Asilomar. Stunning views from the edge of the bay are available from the nearby rec trail, which links Pacific Grove with Monterey, Seaside and Marina. It's easy to park the car and walk or cycle to nearby attractions!

Monterey and Cannery Row are just a few minutes away by car, and it’s just a 10-minute drive to a variety of other attractions, such as quaint Carmel-by-the-Sea or world-class golf and sightseeing in Pebble Beach®. Wine tasting and winery tours in Carmel Valley are just 20 minutes away, and the natural wonders of Big Sur are about 40 minutes away. This is a perfect home base for day-tripping up and down the central California Coast from the San Francisco Bay area to the north and Big Sur and Paso Robles to the south.

Living Space
The elevated 450-square-foot flat with comfortable, eclectic beach decor offers views from the living room through large picture windows that face the bay. You also have access to a small fenced patio at the back that allows a warm, private spot in the sunshine where you can enjoy lunch al fresco or a glass of wine in the evenings, with room to stow beach gear or bicycles as needed.

Guests enter through a gate that takes them down a brick pathway to the entry door. Up a flight of stairs you'll find a cozy living space that blends living room, kitchen and dining areas. Easy-care hardwood-look flooring, a comfortable couch and club chair, a 30-inch HDTV and a wooden table for two can be found here, as well as original beach and nautical artwork that perfectly captures the bay-side mood.

Décor in soothing tones of the sea further enhance the relaxed ambiance, and large picture windows look out toward the bay, providing views day or night.

Kitchen and Dining
The compact kitchen contains everything you need for meal prep, with an electric stove, full size oven, deep stainless sink with pull-out faucet and microwave. Please note there is no dishwasher.
A small table perfect for two is immediately next to the kitchen.
When the chef wants to take the night off, just step outside and walk over to the Beach House Restaurant or other nearby eateries.

Bedroom and Bathroom
The bedroom features a queen bed with metal headboard and quality bedding in tones of aqua, sand and gray.
The en suite bath features stone tile, a vanity with granite countertop, a shell-framed mirror, and a shower-over-tub combination with a glass door.

Behind the home, the small patio features a metal bistro table with seating for four, inside a fenced private courtyard.

A washer and dryer are available near the downstairs entryway. One dedicated parking space is directly in front of the home, and more parking is available on adjacent Ocean View Boulevard.

Note: There is a lower level studio unit attached to this rental that is occasionally visited by the Homeowner. There is a separate entrance around the back so your privacy will be assured.

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 enjoyed the location of Mermaid Loft. Easy drive to Carmel By The Sea and 17-Mile Drive. The space was plenty big enough for my husband and myself. Having a full kitchen is a big advantage, as the area is pricey.

PG vacay

Loved our week in Pacific Grove! The apartment was in an amazing, *perfect* location, and was clean and cute and comfortable. Very comfortable bed, comfortable enough couch. Really appreciated the room-darkening blinds in the bedroom. The kitchen needs more/better knives for those of us who actually cook.

Great location!

The property was great for two people. We had everything we needed, except for a chef’s knife. We were there for two weeks, so having access to a washer and dryer was an added bonus. We were easily able to walk to Lovers’s Point, the Aquarium and downtown Pacific Grove. For the most part it was a good experience!

Perfect location!

Great location. Just a couple blocks from Lover's Point and 1 block across the street from a walking trail along the coast. Minutes drive to the fisherman's wharf and Aquarium. Carmel was only about 12 minutes. The place was small, but well-appointed and worked great for me and my husband.

Tiny but fun.

Well designed but very tiny. Does not have all the conveniences you desire for example no dishwasher or disposal. Great location and some view of water. Even on a tiny street!

Perfect Self-Care Getaway

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: I booked this property for some alone time and it did not disappoint. It was comfortable, had all of the amenities I needed and it was right across the street from the beautiful beach trail. Having a designated parking was also nice to be able to walk down to the restaurants at Lover's Point and all around. I will definitely be staying again!

Great location for two!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: We really liked the location which is a very short walk to the ocean trail. There were a few things that could be improved, but overall I would probably return. Probably best for a weekend stay. The kitchen is not meant for meals in house! The stove is old electric with coils that are off kilter. There’s very few kitchen tools, but plenty of serrated knives! Obviously the kitchen is tiny.

Beware Upcharges

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The apartment was clean and comfortable. Imagine our shock when they charged us a $400 cleaning fee for the tiny rooms. That fee and taxes brought the price up from $829 to over $1400. We will not stay here again unless they lower the cost.

Hidden Gem

The description is accurate. Check in is simple and easy. This place is clean, cozy and quiet. The views of the ocean without being on the busy main road are beautiful. It's a half block, if that, to the trail that borders the entire stretch of Oceanview Road. You can choose to walk the entire trail, part of it or just sit on a bench and enjoy the sites and sounds of Monterey Bay. The place is centrally located and you can easily walk south to the lighthouse from the rental or walk north where you can get ice cream or a nice dinner. Sanctuary Vacation management personnel were extremely attentive to our needs and checked in on us via text, email and one phone call. They truly wanted our experience to be a good one and they achieved it! The only thing I would say that would have given this place 5 stars would be a new mattress for the bed or perhaps a memory foam topper. All in all, we would stay here again.

Enjoyed the view and the closeness to the beach. Easy check in but a bit of a problem with the lock box. The bathtub plug was broken, we could not take a bath. Kitchen was good had all the appliances and utensils that we needed.Definitely would come back again.

Sweet loft with close access to beach

The Mermaid Loft was the perfect getaway. The loft was clean, comfortable, and was just a block away from the beach. The bed was comfortable and cozy. I appreciated having the extra blanket on the couch to use when watching movies.

Excellent location for PG - a block from the shore line with a beautiful view of a colony of resident otters. Quiet neighborhood. Access to restaurants is quick and easy. Small very functional for two unit. Only ding is the heating system is older and tells a story every time it turns on.
