Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “The Lavender House”! Sleeps 6
Park your car in the garage of this colorful Victorian, and walk to every Pacific Grove attraction from this ideal location right in the heart of town. Dining, shopping, the beach and the Monterey Recreational Trail are just steps away.
Built in 1916, the 1,092 sf home was recently renovated to offer modern conveniences along with vintage charm. Views of the Monterey Bay from its second and third floor bedrooms are fabulous and enhance the experience.
Exquisitely decorated with antique furniture and accessories, it’s like a trip to Pacific Grove’s past, from the old-fashioned front porch to the stained-glass windows.
The home is on a quiet lane, that runs parallel to the town’s main street. Close to Caledonia Park and three blocks from Lovers Point, it also has a back patio that is partially fenced for privacy.
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 half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.
Guests enter the home via a short flight of stairs to the porch, where the front door opens into the cozy living room, with comfortable seating around an electric fireplace and hand-scraped hardwood floors. It’s a perfect spot to watch the 42-inch HDTV and enjoy conversation or a good book. Adjacent to the living room is an antique wooden dining room table with seating for 6.
Beyond the dining area is a fully-equipped kitchen with a vintage wooden telephone and a stained-glass window. Kitchen has a four-burner Jenn-Air gas stove, a deep double sink, custom tile floor and backsplash, and solid-surface countertops. Around the corner is a stacked washer and dryer and access into the attached garage.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms On the main floor with the living areas, the lower level hallway bath features a vintage clawfoot bathtub with shower, an old-fashioned wooden toilet tank and marble-topped vanity.
A curved staircase leads to the second floor. Bedroom #1 has a queen iron bedstead, authentic antique furnishings and light fixtures. Bedroom #2 has a beautifully carved queen wooden headboard as well as ocean views from the window. Both queen beds have new mattresses (2023). The bay can be seen even more clearly from the second-story balcony with cast-iron patio seating.
The second level bathroom has an antique vanity with a hammered metal sink as well as a shower with an over-sized shower head, custom tile work and glass door. A vintage ceramic toilet tank completes the décor.
A steep stairway from the second floor leads up to a third-floor loft (Bedroom #3) that’s ideal for children. It has a twin day bed with a Sleep Number mattress, as well as an additional twin bed, and ocean views from a slanted window.
The back yard has artificial turf, BBQ grill and patio seating. Parking for a small car in the one-car garage and another small parking space in the driveway.
Well-behaved small dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

This rental had a lot of charm and character and provided an iconic PG experience. The house is located very close to Lighthouse Ave and a very short walk to Lovers Point. The house itself was very cute and made for the perfect getaway weekend for 4 women. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable and we all felt right at home.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was very cute... Yes the stairs were steep but handled that without a problem. Park your car and walk everywhere in Pacific Grove. We did wish there was another cutting board as we three like to cook but otherwise had a great time and the house was comfortable.

Thank you for your kind review and feedback! We'll pass your suggestion about the cutting boards along to the homeowner. We look forward to your next visit!
Location! Walk down to Livers Point to see a beautiful sunrise or walk to the midweek farmers market for some vegetables and live music. A shop rt drive to the aquarium, Carmel or point Lobos. The house was comfortable for parents and two grown children with a well appointed kitchen. Pleasant quiet neighborhood and comfortable beds, this house was a great launching point and nice place to return at the end of the day.

They are not kidding about the parking… it’s a bit rough because cars are much larger than when the house was built. Also, the stairs to the top are EXTREMELY steep. I would not let a young child or an elderly person sleep up there. It’s an amazing property when with so many things so close by.

Wonderful location. Walking distance to great restaurants in DT Pacific Grove. Great running/walking/bike paths along the ocean 5-10 minutes from the front door. House was super clean with excellent signage on how everything operated. Great character with flashbacks to a vintage home yet modernized. Yard and outside seating also good.
