About this house rental

Nestled in Pacific Grove, this lovely house for $500 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Oceanview Serenity"! Sleeps up to 4 guests including children. Oceanview Serenity has been recently updated and completely furnished with new beds, furniture and decor. A charming cottage with a stunning 180-degree view of the Monterey Bay offers the best of all worlds in Pacific Grove — close to the beach, but also an easy walk to downtown Pacific Grove, historic Cannery Row and other attractions. The 930-square-foot pet-friendly home (maximum two small dogs no more than 15lbs each) is directly across the street from the beach and the Monterey Recreational Trail, and is just a few steps from spectacular Lover’s Point. The restaurants, galleries and shops of downtown Pacific Grove are just a 5-minute walk away, and there is also easy access to Asilomar, 17-Mile Drive, and the highly rated Pacific Grove Golf Links. It’s also a short walk to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, or 10 minutes by car to downtown Monterey, 10 minutes to shopping in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and 15 minutes to golf and fine dining in Pebble Beach®. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath home built in 1934 has been recently painted and redecorated to enhance its vintage charm. A brick pathway leads to the front door, past the Adirondack chairs that are a perfect spot to sip morning coffee and drink in views of the bay at any hour of the day. Inside the home, a cozy living room and dining room feature large picture windows, taking advantage of the spectacular view, and guests will be able to see boats, birds, and even whales out on the water. Beach-themed décor in soothing shades of blue, sand and driftwood brings the outdoors inside, harmonizing with the rustic living room that features a vaulted wood ceiling, 65" Ultra HDTV with a connected sound bar and blue ray DVD and a gas burning fireplace. Upholstered chairs and a comfortable sofa provide a place for conversation, reading or playing games, or just sitting and enjoying the bay vistas. Hardwood floors and board-and-batten walls can be found throughout the home, as well as vintage lighting. The sunny kitchen is also a pleasant reminder of past eras but enhanced with new appliances, including a gas cook top, wall oven, and dishwasher. The adjacent dining room table that seats six is also next to a large picture window. Bedrooms and Bathrooms Bedroom #1 features a queen bed and a large closet. Bedroom #2 contains two twin beds, as well as an en suite bathroom with a shower. A second bathroom with combination tub/shower is accessed from the hallway. Guests can also enjoy the large fenced backyard, where a gas grill and patio seating are perfect for al fresco dining. The outdoor space is sunny and protected, with views of the bay visible through the home’s picture windows. At the rear of the house, a one-car garage offers space for parking a vehicle and for stowing beach gear. Additional parking is available on the street. Well-behaved dogs under 15 lbs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum. Please note that as of November 2023 there is an ongoing residential construction project on a home next door. Work hours are usually between 8am and 5pm per city ordinance. This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of our team and the homeowner.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It used to be a very responsive company dealing with issue quickly and effectively. Not this time. We had to send multiple texts and make multiple calls to draw their attention to the issues in the house. Many of our requests remained unresolved till the end of our stay. Unacceptable. Moving to Monterey Vacation Rentals.

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 location of this cottage is absolutely perfect if you like to walk the coastal trail! It’s right out your front door. For bikers, you can store your bicycles in the garage and ride down the alley to easily access bike trails. Things we especially loved about this home were the many windows, giving stellar views up and down the coast. The backyard was sunny and private. The house had some tiny, tight spots, but it worked well for us. We’ve already booked it for next year!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Needed a change of scenery from several months in the same home office setup, and stay happened to coincide with horrible smoke from fires. Very happy to have a nearby escape for the month.
On arrival, saw wildlife galore (deer, squirrels, harbor seals, and otters). Convenient 5-min walk to kayak rentals and beautiful Lovers Point park. Easy walk to both Cannery Row and Asilomar beach.
Place was extremely comfortable and had everything you would need at home. Don't bother with the extras (e.g., binoculars, chairs, grill, towels, cooking stuff, picnic stuff, etc.). And very nice and clean.
Loved it and will look to book again.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house has a spectacular view. I could have stayed another month and spent my days staring out at the ocean. But it was extremely expensive for a rental in the condition it is in. Despite assurances on the Serenity website that the house has been thoroughly cleaned to Covid protection standards, the floor was so dirty it turned a mop (which I asked management to buy for me) black with each swipe; the towels were stained and old; the sheets were worn; the umbrella in the back yard was broken; there was so much dust under the beds, on a hardwood floor, that when I turned a fan on one night the room became a dust bowl; the dishes and silverware all had to pulled from the cupboards and washed (stained coffee cups, food on silverwear and a few plates, dirty pots); there were cigarette butts in the backyard; the sofa had stains; the walls were filthy; the toilet requires two visits from a plummer... You get the picture. For $7K, I spent more time cleaning and maintaining than enjoying. The management company did credit the cleaning fees, and offered to send cleaners in again (which we weren’t comfortable with mid-pandemic), but nobody called me, ever, to discuss my concerns. But oh, that view. And the house, has it been clean and kept up, was adorable.
