Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Surf’s Up”! Sleeps 6

Park your car, and walk everywhere from this pet and family-friendly cottage — where you can hear the cry of seagulls during the day and the murmur of waves at night — just a few minutes' walk away from spectacular Lovers Point beach, and restaurants and shopping in downtown Pacific Grove.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bath newly remodeled historic home, known as the C.A. McCoy House and builtoriginally in 1887, features an open floor plan with modern amenities. Tall ceilings and windows that let in plenty of natural light give this residence a spacious ambiance, with easy-care flooring that is perfect for pet owners.

Besides being just steps from the beach, the 1100 square-foot home also offers easy access to attractions such as Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links, Point Pinos Lighthouse and Asilomar State Beach, and to the Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail, perfect for walking, running or cycling.

The house is also in the heart of Pacific Grove’s city park network, and is close to Jewell Park, Caterpillar Park and Caledonia Park, which includes a tots’ play area, climbing equipment for older children and picnic tables. A little further south is George Washington Park, a forested area with nature and hiking trails. Also nearby is the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, offering displays and information on plants, animals and sea life of the region.

It’s also only a few minutes by car to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row. Downtown Monterey, Carmel and golfing in Pebble Beach are a 10-minute drive away, and other attractions within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.

    The moment I checked-in, I was awed by the cleanliness of the whole house, and the host actually welcomed me with complimentary bottle of wine, crackers and some cheese spread. They also provided me amply towels and beach towels as well. The interior is also very nice, you can tell the owner had upgraded the home. The location is awesome with only 1 block to the Lover's Point Beach. Also 3 blocks to downtown Pacific Grove where there are many nice restaurants to choose. The neighborhood is very safe, I walked my dog at 9-10 pm with no issue. My only warning is if you drive a big suv like me, it might be little tight to park at the off street parking spot provided (I made it, but very tight)

    Clean, comfortable, and cute home right in the heart of Pacific Grove with ample amenities (plenty of plates, cups, etc., even a bottle of wine waiting for us!). Our family walked almost everywhere (minutes from coffee and restaurants, 20 min to the aquarium). Would love to stay again!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location just a block or two from the ocean, restaurants and shops. Close drive to Carmel, Cannery Row or Big Sur. The master bedroom is a good size and the second bedroom while not as spacious, is plenty big. Well stocked kitchen. Excellent, high end turkish towels in the bathrooms. Comfy bed with pretty good pillows. In the absence of AC, we chose to open windows which was not an easy task because many would not stay up on their own so we had to find ways to hold them up. (Hint: 2 wooden hangers on their sides work very well!)The TV system was a bit challenging as are many streaming/live systems but we eventually got the hang of it. Parking is limited but we managed. Overall, this is a very acceptable option in Pacific Grove.

I have a tiny car so it wasn't a problem.

    We reserved 5 houses for the first weekend in May 2025 for family coming to Pacific Grove. They were all coming for our wedding! We held the ceremony and reception in our backyard on 19th street and it was great to have them just a few blocks away. We had family and friends from10 different states, most visiting PG for the first time. Your house was instrumental in creating a great 1st impression to PG for these 1st time visitors.The houses were perfect and only a 5 minute walk to our house on 19th street where the wedding and reception were held. Most guests stayed several days as the accommodations were so comfortable.Your house was perfect! We needed places for out of town friends and family states in the US, to be comfortable and to be able to easily walk to shops, restaurants and our home easily. We found and reserved 5 VRBO houses within a 5 minute walk to our cottage.Your home specifically was used by our 4 adult sisters and 2 brothers in law. It was heaven to them as they could be on the beach in minutes, walking, to fun, adorable shops full of adorable gifts, a well stocked grocery store with a historic look about it, to restaurants of all specialties, all less than a 5 minute walk.Your home was comfortable,with beautiful as well as functional furnishings.Check in was easy, your house was well cared for, clean and contained most items someone could hope for in a B&B

    This house is great- exactly as pictured and comfortably fit 5 adults. Conveniently located for activities in Carmel, Monterey and a short stroll to the coast in Pacific Grove. We were surprised to find the washer/dryer not working but management made sure our laundry was taken care of. Would stay here again.

    This house is a beautiful beach bungalow style home that feels brand new inside and perfectly appointed with everything you will need. The home is located on a quiet residential street with historic cottages all around, and just a 5-minute walk to the beautiful Lover's Point Beach Park and trail. The town of pacific Grove with great restaurants and cute stores is also a 5 minute walk, and the neighborhood is very quiet and feels very safe and welcoming. The house offers off-street parking for a small car, and Cannery Row is just about a mile away that you can easily access by bike or by foot on the paved trail along the water. The home has three nice sized bedrooms and 2 nicely appointed bathrooms and a large living room and nice kitchen, and my only suggestion would be to have at least a queen-sized bed in the primary bedroom as double beds are in all three bedrooms and feel small for two adults. Overall, a fantastic home that we would definitely return to!

    My family and I were so impressed with this rental that we hope to book it again next year! It was clean, it's proximity to both the beach as well as old town PG was amazing, and we were even able to walk to the aquarium! The home is well stocked with what you may need, beds were comfy, and the kitchen was nice to have to avoid eating out for every meal.
