About this property

3118 Yellow House Main - Walk to the Aquarium!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Yellow House”! Home sleeps up to 8 guests.

Four Night Minimum Stay Year Round (excluding certain holidays and events).

A dream-come-true vacation home - the house is 2437 square feet, 4 bedroom, 2.5 baths and sleeps 8 in 1 king bed, 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds.

Bright and sunny inside and out, this turn-of-the-century yellow shingled 4-bedroom -- just a stone's throw from the recreation trail leading to the sheltered beach at Lovers Point in Pacific Grove and beyond -- is a vacationer's dream. You're so close to Monterey Bay you can hear the seals bark and watch the waves lap on the rocky shoreline from the living room, dining area and master bedroom.

The walk to the Monterey Bay Aquarium is an easy 5-10 minute stroll along the beautiful recreation trail. Also within walking distance are restaurants and attractions of both downtown Pacific Grove, Cannery Row and New Monterey.

Centrally located a few blocks from downtown and across the street from the famous Green Gables Inn, it is perfect for life-cycle events or family reunions, where large numbers of people want to be located near one another. Recently updated and freshly painted in upbeat yellows and sea-palette blues, the house has a casual, summery feel accentuated by comfy white furnishings.

The living room is bright and cheery with ocean views and a fireplace. The bright white fully-equipped eat-in kitchen opens to a larger dining area that seats 12.

A back deck with charcoal grill provides privacy for outdoor cooking or just plain relaxing.

Historic house built in 1918 with good "bones." Fabulous location near sites in area with a great view of the ocean. Kitchen is not high tech but outstandingly stocked to cook meals for a family. Upstairs is subdivided into bedrooms as was done in houses this old, with one bedroom not having direct access to a bathroom. Closets too are not an easy fit but are available with some drawer space depending on the bedroom decor.

Fantastic family reunion here!

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: Wonderful birthday celebration with my family. We stayed in the Yellow House. It was beautiful inside and out with the best stocked kitchen I have ever experienced. Sanctuary really does a better job than others. We talked to them to get our check in code and check out details the old fashioned way. They were great. Always helpful. You won't be disappointed if you stay here. House has a million dollar location.

Birthday week

We had the best week at the big yellow house for my Birthday. The location was perfect and within walking distance to town. The only thing we were sad about was the tub was not working. I would definitely stay again, we didn’t want to leave!!
