About this property

3812 Little House - Nightly Rental, Historic Home, Just Steps to Coast Trail

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Little House”! Sleeps 6

A sweet Victorian home in Pacific Grove, just steps from the beach and the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail, is the perfect place to bring your family to relax and unwind, close enough to hear the waves and hear the seagulls calling in the distance. A small lawn area wraps around the house with geraniums and Mexican sage adding colorful accents.

The Little House, built in 1888, is a registered Pacific Grove Historic Home and has vintage charm inside and out while also offering modern conveniences. Pet-friendly with a fenced back yard, it’s set up to welcome every member of the family.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features stained glass windows and other classic Victorian details, as well as original hardwood floors and light fixtures, lovely antique furniture, historic photographs and other vintage details.

Besides being just steps from the beach, the 1,400-square-foot house is also only a few minutes away from Monarch butterfly sightings in Pacific Grove, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Downtown Monterey, Carmel and golfing in Pebble Beach® are a 10-minute drive away, and other attractions within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.

Living Space
Guests enter through a gate in a white picket fence, with steps leading to the front door of the red-and-white house. A cozy living room with a bay window and comfortable sofas provides a gathering place for conversation, watching the 32-inch HDTV or reading, and the adjacent vintage dining room table seats 6 next to a marble-topped antique sideboard.

Kitchen and Dining
The remodeled kitchen offers a four-burner gas range, blue cabinets, vintage tile backsplash and a farmhouse apron sink, with plenty of counter space and prep area. On the other side of the kitchen is a small home office with desk and rolling chair, ideal for doing paperwork or computer work. A stacked washer and dryer is conveniently tucked into this space.

A door from the office leads into the back yard, where there is a gourmet gas grill and tall vine-covered fences for privacy. Seating around a fire pit makes this a great place for afternoon barbecues or late-night stargazing.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
On the lower / main level, Bedroom #1 features a California king bed and an en suite bath with a pedestal sink, hexagonal tiled floor and claw foot tub with shower.

Upstairs, Bedroom #2 has a queen-size antique bed and ocean views from the windows.
Bedroom #3 features two twin beds.
A unique, light-filled full bath with a pedestal sink, hex tile and claw foot tub with shower is tucked under the steeply angled ceiling.

Parking is available for two cars in the driveway but any additional cars must park one block away due to limited street parking in front of the house. Carpooling is recommended.

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

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!

Simply Wonderful

Staying here for a small girls trip was absolutely wonderful. The property was lovely and beautiful. The short walk to the water was perfect and a short walk to town. Would definitely recommend and stay with this property again! The house is stunning with beautiful architecture on the inside.

Lovely house in a wonderful location

We had a wonderful time at the Little House- it has everything you need (the kitchen was particularly well stocked)! It was so cozy and relaxing. The best part though is the location, we walked to the aquarium, the beach, the playground, restaurants, everything is so close! Loved our stay and didn't want to leave.

A little bit of serenity

It was a wonderful little place, very cozy close to the water, walking distance to restaurants. Very clean, the shower is in a clawfoot tub which I loved but may not be for everyone. I had a very relaxing time celebrating my son’s birthday with a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and surrounding area.

Family Getaway to Monterey Bay

This home was perfect our family of 4, with two teenagers. The location very close to the path along the bay which made it easy to stroll to the Aquarium or just enjoy the views. We could easily walk out for meals and groceries. The home had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Instructions for everything were clear and easy to follow.
