About this house rental

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Sanctuary by the Bay"! Sleeps 6 guests.

This unique 1,800 sf, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, pet friendly 2-story townhome was just remodeled in 2025. Be among the first to enjoy all the updates!

Perfect location just a few steps from one of the most beautiful coastal trails in California and only a 5-minute walk to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. This 15 mile trail links the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf and Asilomar State Beach. Every twist and turn brings another incredible view of Monterey Bay, with its abundance of wildlife and natural scenery. One of the best-kept secrets is just 5 minutes away - the Pacific Grove Golf Links with its great prices and amazing views, including the lighthouse at Pt. Pinos.

Enter the enchantingly rustic Sanctuary by the Bay through a small gated entrance and courtyard. You will be delighted with the light-filled rooms, tastefully furnished in neutral tones. The space is light and airy, with high wood ceilings and handmade terracotta tiles throughout the home.

The house has a reverse floor plan with the main living areas and the primary bedroom on the second floor to take full advantage of bay views. The upper level has a large open living area, kitchen and dining room with amazing views from every window. Enjoy morning coffee or afternoon wine while watching the sun rise and set over the bay. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare a gourmet multi-course dinner. Discriminating chefs will appreciate the vast selection of dishes, wine glasses, sharpened knives, platters, cooking and bakeware, utensils and accessories provided. A large selection of cookbooks and cooking magazines are on hand to inspire you.

In the living room there is a gas burning fireplace and comfortable seating. Gaze at the fire while enjoying views of the ever-changing sea beyond the French doors. You will find a large comfortable couch with plenty of pillows and a warm throw to snuggle up with as well a small table with two chairs ready for a hand of cards or other available games. You can watch a movie from our DVD library or HBO on cable TV. There are many books and magazines available for your enjoyment.

Well-equipped for extended stays!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We stayed for a month! Locals call it June Gloom, but we thought the cool, cloudy days were lovely. We could see the bay from the living room and dining room. We could walk down the street, cross the road, and we were at the ocean... literally 2 min. to get to trails, kayaking, and any water fun we wanted. The house had a good layout. The stairs might be a little steep for anyone who has mobility issues (there is a railing). Both bathroom showers are outdated, but totally functional, and not something that should deter you from staying at a house with a great view. Highly recommend. It's nice to have a garage too!

    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: The walk score of 90 says it all. Just a few steps to the crashing waves and marine life of Monterey Bay. A few more steps and you’re at Cannery Row with a fantastic array of shops and restaurants. Or head up Lighthouse Avenue for live jazz, a farmers market, the Pacific Grove library, John Steinbeck’s summer cottage. Of course, get in your car and the beauty and history of this area will astound you.The house is also astounding: wonderful views, stacks and stacks of fluffy white towels, cozy gas fireplace, comfortable beds (well, the queen was too soft), well-stocked kitchen, and more paper goods and amenities than we have ever had supplied in a rental. Good job Sanctuary Vacation Rentals

    We loved the house and location. The view was breathtaking and we were within walking distance of lovers point and cannery row. However there were many major things wrong with the house that needed fixing: broken garage door opener, broken blinds cutting off view, windows that didn’t open or close easily or at all, terribly uncomfortable bed, front door lock mismatched, etc. Sanctuary responded to each thing until all was well.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With my company's new remote work policy, I enjoyed several months at 3096 Sanctuary by the bay. The location is great, being just moments to the Rec trail, stores and restaurants. Wifi was perfect for all those zoom calls, made much more enjoyable with ocean views. You won't want to leave!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We liked the location, just 1/2 block off the beach with great views. The staff was very helpful and quickly available to address our issues. The dryer is unbalanced and needs attention. The oven desperately needs to be calibrated. There needs to be more water and juice glasses, as there are very few. The most pressing need is the balconies that are covered with bird droppings. This is very disgusting and unsanitary.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the property for 4 months while relocating to the area.It was the perfect location to get around. Steps to the rec trail and walking distance to the aquarium, lovers point, shopping, restaurants etc...The view was amazing!!!We enjoyed the split level as our kids and visitors are adults. As for little children the stairs are steep with a few narrow steps.The kitchen definitely needs an update but was sufficient. No microwave though. The bathrooms REALLY need updating. The showers were almost unusable. We did pay our own utilities as we were there over 30 days. The bills seemed high compared to what we paid in our much larger home but oh well!We did enjoy the property. Just highly recommend a bath remodel.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights, and it was just what we needed. You can't get a house much closer to Cannery Row, yet be located in a nice, relatively quiet neighborhood so near the water. The house is near perfect. It is one of two units, but at no point would I have thought that had I not seen it. Bring some binoculars so you can watch the fishing boats and sea life in the kelp from the balcony.
