3814 Surf's Up! Walk to the Beach, Downtown & Park

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 built originally 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.

Great House- responsive management

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.

4th of July/20th Wedding Anniversary

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.

Great Small Home

This was our first time staying at a house in Pacific Grove and it turned out great. The three bedrooms worked greaat for the three generations of our family. The home is somewhat small but it worked very well, even when another family joined us for dinner at the house one evening. The location is fantastic, between the bay and the restaurants and shops on Lighthouse Ave. We even walked to the Aquarium.

A great property in Pacific Grove. Really well located for local cafes and amenities, as well as a short drive to Carmel and the 17 Mile Drive. Also great for driving further afield to Big Sur. The property is in great condition, clean and with great additional features such as beach towels and toiletries. Thank you!

The house was in a great location. Easy to get to many locations. I would just add that there is a size limit for the off street parking space. Only smaller vehicles will fit, otherwise you will need to park on the limited street parking.

A Perfect Monterrey Escape

This property in Monterrey was a total win! The location was killer - right by the water, perfect for sunset walks, and next to a park that kept the kiddos busy. Plus, it was super clean and nicely updated, making it a comfy home base for the whole family. Downtown and Cannery Row were very close which was helpful. We loved exploring the city and checking out all the amazing restaurants (so many delicious options within walking distance!). Shout out to the hosts too - they were accommodating and always there to answer our questions. Overall, this property was a total gem. We had a blast and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and convenient stay in Monterrey!
