Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “The Seagull’s Nest”! Home sleeps up to 6 guests.
The best of past and present are combined in this historic Victorian cottage in downtown Pacific Grove, within easy walking distance of the beach as well as dining, shopping and the local movie theater. Or you may just want to relax and enjoy views of the bay from the cozy living room, decorated to reflect the coastal environment.
The blue and white 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence, built in 1905, has been updated to offer modern conveniences while still embracing its vintage roots. The pet-friendly home also has a back patio that is fenced for privacy, a perfect place to enjoy a backyard barbecue or a glass of wine in the evenings.
The home is within walking distance of the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, and just a few blocks from the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail, a popular place for cycling and walking. Also close by are the world-class golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach®. Other attractions within a 30-45 minute drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.
Hardwood floors and recessed lighting can be found throughout the 1,092-square-foot home, with walls painted in a soft shade of tan and complementary décor in blues, whites and taupe for a soothing ambiance. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a dining area that seats six. A convenient master bedroom on the first floor has an HDTV and an en suite bath.
Living Spaces Guests enter the home via a short flight of stairs to the porch, where the red front door opens into the entryway and living room. Views of the Monterey Bay can be glimpsed from the living room, which features a 48-inch HDTV, roman shades and cozy seating.
Kitchen and Dining The adjacent kitchen features granite countertops, vintage-look cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a four-burner gas stove. A gooseneck kitchen faucet and double sink make cleanups a snap. A dining area at the end of the kitchen looks out over rooftops of other historic buildings in the downtown area. The back door leads to an outdoor patio area decorated with string lights and succulents, offering patio seating and a gourmet gas grill.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms Downstairs, Bedroom #1 offers a queen bed, TV, direct access to the back patio and an updated en suite bathroom with a shower.
Also downstairs, a sleek hallway bathroom with a pocket door features hexagonal tile floors, a corner shower with custom tile, and a glass basin sink.
Upstairs, Bedroom #2 features a queen bed and built-in storage. Bedroom #3 has a king bed and a peek of the bay. Please note that both bathrooms are downstairs.

The place was a perfect getaway. The house was clean, comfortable, well equipped, and very well situated. We appreciated that the place was pet friendly - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We're very happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you visit us again soon!
The house was very clean with nice bedding and towels. The kitchen was fairly well stocked. The bathrooms were somewhat small and the living room could have had more comfortable furniture. The location was good if you are able bodied to walk a bit. It was in a quiet neighborhood except for the morning seagulls, which makes it aptly named. We had a very pleasant stay overall.

Location is fantastic. House is very clean and cozy! Ease of booking and communication is great although the Sanctuary rep and cleaning person came at 10am even though we were granted late check out at 11am and they were not made aware.

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We're very sorry about the mix-up regarding the check-out time! We'll fix that for next time!
Beautiful property, excellent location in close proximity to downtown Pacific Grove, local stores and the aquarium. My only callouts are that the entrance is via stairs, the living / TV room isn’t comfortably set-up for more than two people, say if watching a movie with kids. Both bathrooms are downstairs. Aside from these mostly minor items, the owner has really made for a great place to stay (comfortable beds, linens, towels, coffee makers, Blackstone griddle) and thoughtfully provided wine and cheese at welcome. We would visit again in the future.

Thank you for your kind review and important feedback! We'll let the homeowners know about your suggetions. We hope to see you again soon!
It was a really nice location and mostly fit the description. There was also a nice touch of cheese, crackers, & wine at check in. The only complaints are that check-in process wasn’t communicated at all and checkout was a little all over the place. For reference, there’s written instructions posted next to a key box by the door. For checkout, they send you to document that references the house rule book (never found it) and a Google Doc that you’re supposed to fill out, but can’t because it’s locked and only available digitally. The checkout process on the list was fairly standard, but it felt like they wanted some documentation as proof and no way to provide it. Anyway, nice house, great town, great location. I’d stay again.

Very cute home in a great location. We could walk to restaurants, coffee shops, even the aquarium! Well maintained and clean. Property manager checked in by text and phone several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful!
