About this property

3976 Beach House on Asilomar~ Oceanfront View Home

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Beach House on Asilomar"! This home sleeps up to 6 guests.

You can't beat this oceanfront location with 180 degree ocean views. Situated just steps away from a beach side trail system and the large sandy beach of Asilomar State Park and adjacent Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach®. Enjoy amazing sunsets, ocean breezes and the dog friendly beach and trails just outside your front door.

While this classic beach cottage is a new addition to the Sanctuary Vacation Rentals program, this home has been open to guests for many years, previously hosted by the Homeowner who racked up scores of wonderful reviews from hundreds of guests who have greatly appreciated the stunning location and the rustic charm and good vibes of this home. It is a true vintage 'Beach House' where you can actually experience whale watching from the living room couch!

Living Space
The 1,603 sf home is simple, sturdy and comfortable. As of 2019, the home was renovated with new baths, new paint, new tile floors, new carpet, window coverings, light fixtures etc. and has been lovingly maintained ever since.

Downstairs features an open floor plan with a large living room, dining room and kitchen all flowing from one to the other.
Large picture windows along the front of the home take advantage of wide open views to the beach.

The living room features a large wood burning fireplace, comfy couch and easy chairs, a game table, satellite TV and Stereo.

Kitchen
Kitchen is well-appointed with lots of cookware and gear. Adorable vintage cabinetry is painted in an aqua tone and is paired with modern stainless steel appliances including a large refrigerator and gas stove/oven. Dishes are done 'old school' as there is no dishwasher, but since the kitchen sink faces the ocean, the task of washing dishes is fairly painless!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Upstairs there are three comfortable bedrooms, all with huge windows, comfy beds and flat screen satellite TV's. There is also an upper deck overlooking the dunes and the beach.
Bedroom #1 has a king bed.
Bedroom #2 has a queen bed.
Bedroom #3 has a queen bed.
The upstairs full bathroom has a shower-over-tub combination and is easily accessed from the hallway by all bedrooms.
The downstairs full bathroom has a standing shower.

Outside you will find a fire pit in the sand, perfect for just have a seat on one of the benches and gaze at the stars. The night sky is incredible as there is little nearby ambient light!

The famous recreation trail that stretches from Pebble Beach to Santa Cruz is just across the street and stretches in both directions. You can walk to Spanish Bay Resort (roughly a mile) for world class dining, or wander along the trails of the Asilomar State Park.

The charming town of Pacific Grove is home to delicious restaurants and cafes, galleries, boutique shops, a movie theater and all major conveniences. Don't miss touring historic Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, all within a 10-15 minute drive.

If you are a beach/ocean lover, this is your spot. One thing's for sure: spend your vacation here and you will come to know why so many folks love Beach House on Asilomar so much!

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

A laundry center is located in the garage.

The garage is not available for guest parking at this time but up to 6 vehicles can fit in the large driveway.

This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

There was plenty of space for our 3 generation family vacation. The house was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the ocean view, being able to walk across the street to the tidepools, and watching the sunset from the front yard. The firepit was perfect for family time after dinner.

We loved our stay! It was great for the kids ages 3 and 5. Such a cool beach house. Perfect location. The deer in the yard everyday was very special for the kids. The tide pools and beach right across the street were perfect. We are taking about going yearly! Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach house!

CSUMB grad weekend

This was the perfect property to gather the family to celebrate our son’s graduation from CSUMB. The view was amazing, the accommodations were comfortable and clean. We enjoyed multiple visits from deer in the front of the property. We will definitely use this property again!

Cute beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute little beach house ideally located less than 5-minute walk to beautiful Asilomar beach! The house is well decorated and cared for, but a little dated. Note that the carpets have a humidity smell and there is no dishwasher in the kitchen. The views are gorgeous though! Although small, this house provided for everything else we needed: beach toys, board games, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, extra blankets. And Santuary Vacation staff is always very responsive.
