About this property
3893 Sweet Seventeenth - Near Downtown & Beach
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Sweet Seventeenth"! Home sleeps up to 4 guests.
Located on a charming street full of colorful homes and small businesses and just half a block off Pacific Grove's Lighthouse Avenue, guests will enjoy the best of all worlds - quaint Victorian architecture, modern conveniences, quiet nights and being just steps away from downtown Pacific Grove restaurants and other attractions. Lover's Point Beach is just three blocks away. Park the car and walk everywhere including local favorites like Pavel's Bakery, Juice and Java, Fandango and Grove Market.
Living Spaces Follow the flagstone path and climb the steps of this delightful 969 sf Victorian era home to reach the small covered porch with a bench where you can while away the hours, people watching in between outings around the town. This whimsical home has tall ceilings and windows along with charming painted wood floors throughout. An open concept flows from the front parlor living room through the dining room and into the kitchen. Seating in the living room includes a comfortable sofa, arm chair and ottomans grouped in front of the decorative fireplace where battery operated candles give the space a warm glow and a TV is mounted to the wall. In addition to the main living space inside the house, a detached garage conversion is home to a family room that is ideal for lounging; two sets of French doors let in great light. A flat screen TV, game table, games, sofa and a desk space all coexist in this multi-purpose space.
Kitchen and Dining The fully-equipped kitchen is ready for preparing meals when you want to dine in, but just steps away are numerous Pacific Grove eateries. A tin backsplash adorns the main portion of the kitchen along with cheerfully painted cabinets, stove/oven, sink and dishwasher. The kitchen extends into the laundry area with more built-in storage for small appliances, the refrigerator, a second sink and the stacking washer and dryer. The kitchen island has two stools for casual counter seating and the wooden dining table and chairs with caning is another great place to gather.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom vacation home is perfect for up to 4 guests. Bedroom #1 is in the center of the home, off the dining room and it has a queen bed. This bedroom also has direct access to the half-bath which also has access from the dining room area. Bedroom #2 is located near the entry, separated from the living room by two wooden sliding doors and it has a queen bed with iron headboard and a small fold-down writing desk. Painted wainscoting and so many sweet details hearken back to yesteryear. The home has a full bathroom with a standing shower. On-demand hot water is one of many conveniences in the home.
The rear and side yards are partially fenced for privacy and the rear patio has a table and chairs for dining al fresco and a small propane grill is a tasty cooking option near the outdoor sink. A few steps through the garden take you to the detached lounge room.
One off street parking space is provided. Street parking in front of the home is sometimes available with a time limit; more parking options with no time limits are just 1/2 block away. No garage. Just across the street is a small municipal parking lot which has several short term parking spaces.
Well-behaved small, hypo-allergenic dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.
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 our time at the cozy and quirky Sweet Seventeenth. It had everything we needed and the location couldn't have been more centrally located. We enjoyed the fire pit area every evening and even watched some TV in the cute little game room.

Thank you for your lovely review! We look forward to your next visit!
Perfect location to walk to restaurants? Beach etc. Gorgeous. Since it was in a mixed residential/commercial there was more very early am noise (street sweepers trash trucks 5:30 am). Still loved it.

We enjoyed our stay, but wish it hadn't been raining as we couldn't use the outdoor area. Wifi not working well either, but wonderful spacious kitchen and cozy living room! Absolutely love the location!

We had a delightful stay at the Sweet Seventeenth Street house--an adorable, historic, quirky and comfortable place that has everything you need. The photos are accurate--cozy living room, spacious kitchen/dining area, and outside, 2 fenced-in seating areas. We didn't use the separate little addition (w/couch, TV, games) since there were just 2 of us. Sanctuary Vacations was great to work with: I had to have an important package delivered, and they very nicely held it for me at their main office in Carmel. The location of this rental is perfect, with lots of restaurants and stores (including a great bookstore) within easy walking distance. It's also a pleasant walk to the ocean, with a walking trail you can take for miles (keep an eye out for otters and other sea animals). The neighborhood is lovely; such gorgeous architecture in these well-maintained old homes. And of course the air and the light in northern CA can't be beat. I wanted to move there!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time here and look forward to your return visit!
The sweet house had a great location with comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, spacious dining room and so nice to have 2 bathrooms! We were within walking distance to a great trail along the Bay and some very good restaurants and coffee/bookstore. Since we came in an EV, there were Level 2 EV chargers right across the street. Also great communication with managers. Would come again!

We came to Pacific Grove for the cool weather walking. In 3 weeks we walked 104 miles. This house is 3 blocks from the bay. Walked to the aquarium one day and Asilomar the next. Pacific Grove is a nice town. The house is small but nicely organized. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, driveway parking. Close to restaurants and coffeehouses. We went to Fandango twice. Great trip.
