Wonderful place to relax!

Our family had a wonderful week! We lovesd sitting by the fire on the patio and there was plenty of room for all of us (6 adults, 1 baby, 1 dog)! The kitchen was well stocked so we could cook in, and the proximity to Lighthouse Ave was perfect when we wanted to walk to our meal instead. We'd gladly return for our next stay in Pacific Grove.

Great property near downtown

House was very clean and welcoming with lots of themed decorations. The updated kitchen was nice, and we had plenty of room to sit and dine (party of 5). Short drive to downtown, the beach, Monterey etc so it was super convenient. Quick communication, and seamless booking / instructions process. thanks!

Our stay was fantastic..beyond meeting our expectations. The property is just blocks from everything

In keeping with the charm of PG the home is a lovely Heritage House and has retained that charm, even though it's been nicely updated. The side-yard, with firepit and patio was nice at the end of the day. To have a garage to store bikes and surf boards was so important, we didn't realize how great it would be to have that space. Its location couldn't be better. We didn't want to leave. Five stars!

Spacious home close to town

This house is the second vacation rental our family has done with Sanctuary Rentals. They do a fantastic job of providing a welcoming place, with tasteful decorating, soft towels, comfortable bedding, and wine & cheese. They provide top-notch service with excellent communication. This home is spacious, with 3 bedrooms upstairs. There are several options for room setup. The home is very close to the main shopping/restaurant area of Pacific Grove. There is off-street parking, including a garage. Pets welcomed with pet beds and food bowls. Gas fireplace outside and gas fire pit outside.

Great location, Old house

Great location and lots of space in the house. The kitchen has been updated and there are plenty of towels and the sheets are nice and clean. The management company was very easy to work with too. We loved the location and walking to bakeries and restaurants and evening the beach. The layout worked for us too. It is an old house though and the upstairs is pretty worn. The upstairs carpet is not in great condition and the upstairs bath is really falling apart. There’s tiles broken on the floor and trim coming off the wall. There’s also an old house smell to it. It was a good place to stay given we had a dog and 5 people with us, but I’m not sure I would choose it again.

Thank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed our home's wonderful location. The carpeting will be replaced in the middle of November. This update was scheduled but we encountered a delay in receiving the new carpet. The bathroom has also been tended to with all items repaired or replaced. We are sorry these repairs and updates were not completed prior to your stay. We hope you consider Sanctuary Vacation Rentals for your future stays in Pacific Grove.

Lovely family stay near the Ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We had a lovely stay at Ship's Watch. The kitchen is bright and fresh and the rest of the house is casual. The yard is nice with chairs (but remember to be quiet after 8pm.). You can walk 3 blocks to a bookstore/cafe, 5 to a fantastic bakery, and 8 to the beach.It has a nice queen bedroom on the ground floor with a full bath around the corner. It also has a king bedroom at the top of the stairs which shares a bathroom with 2 cute little rooms--one suitable for a younger child.Sanctuary Rentals is very responsive to any questions or concerns.And the place is dog friendly which is welcome. The garage is a bit small so will only fit a smaller car and you are asked to park the second car in the driveway.

Lovely Old House; Not Super Family Friendly

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: This is a lovely old home with some thoughtful updates, especially to the kitchen. Very “by the sea” themed decor, which was fun for us as visitors. Be advised that there is one neighbor who is VERY sensitive to noise. She went out of her way at noon on a Saturday to come gripe at us for the “noise” our children were making (literally, she was complaining about the laughter of small children). The attic bedroom also smells a bit musty and like dogs or cats - this wouldn’t have been a big deal but we had our children sleeping in that room, and it was unpleasant to live with for a month. We were happy overall with Sanctuary and plan to book with them again.
Response from VrboOwner on 14 July 2021
Thanks for your review of your stay at Ship's Watch. We apologize for the neighbor, it is always a difficult balance at some of our homes with people who love vacation rentals and some who don't. We look forward to speaking with you about a future stay in the area.

Historic = Dirty and in disrepair

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay with Sanctuary Rentals. Our first experience was top notch so when returning to Monterey we only looked at Sanctuary properties. We were hugely disappointed with Ships Watch. It is spacious and roomy but that is where the benefits stop. Upon entering the house we were greeted with a dank smelling home. Our dust allergies immediately flared up as it was evident this home hadn't had a deep clean and in quite some time. Furniture and carpeting were deeply soiled throughout the home. We spilled some water on the kitchen floor and upon wiping it up with a paper towel it was black with dirt. Walking around in socks yielded deeply soiled socks so we just kept our shoes on to avoid this. Woke up to make coffee and the the reservoir for water was caked with grime and actually had hair in it. After 20 mn of cleaning it we attempted to make coffee. All the pans are calphalon but most cooking utensils are metal therefore the non stick coating on most pans was peeling. Both oven pans hadn't been appropriately washed in forever and were barely usable. There were cobwebs visible in most rooms. The lower dishwasher rack could not be moved back and forth so had to be lifted up to load and unload. There are viewss of the ocean but the windows were so dirty we couldn't enjoy them. For the price tag this property was unnacceptabke and we will be hesitant to trust the Sanctuary brand in the future.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2022
We are very sorry that your experience was not up to Sanctuary Vacation Rentals standards. We are working diligently with the home owner to correct all of the issues you have shared and most have been completed by October 24th. The cleaning company has also been made aware of the shortcomings and are working to improve their standards. This is not a representation of what Sanctuary Vacation Rentals offers in our homes. Please do reach out to our General Manager when looking to book your next stay in the Monterey Peninsula and allow us the chance to regain your confidence.

Very comfortable stay.

Our group of 6 was very comfortable in this house. It’s an old house with a lot of character in a quiet neighborhood. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Very nice updated kitchen. We loved having coffee in the morning outside by the gas fire pit (much cooler there than we anticipated!). Upper single bed really best for a child, but other 3 bedrooms were good size. Long walk to the ocean but easy drive to everything we wanted to see. Enjoyed our stay!
