Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Pelican Gate"! This large home sleeps up to 6 adults and 1 child. Brand new to the Sanctuary Vacation Rentals program. This fantastic location is near the outermost edge of the Monterey Peninsula so you have easy walking access to the bay, beaches, miles of trails, Point Pinos Lighthouse (the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the west coast), the Pacific Grove Golf Links and the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. Hop in the car for a short, scenic drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and historic old Monterey. Don't miss touring 17 Mile Drive through famous Pebble Beach. This central location is also perfect for day trips to Big Sur, Carmel Valley wine country and north to Santa Cruz.
