About this property

3814 Surf's Up! Walk to the Beach, Downtown & Park

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Surf’s Up”! Sleeps 6

Park your car, and walk everywhere from this pet and family-friendly cottage — where you can hear the cry of seagulls during the day and the murmur of waves at night — just a few minutes' walk away from spectacular Lovers Point beach, and restaurants and shopping in downtown Pacific Grove.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bath newly remodeled historic home, known as the C.A. McCoy House and built originally in 1887, features an open floor plan with modern amenities. Tall ceilings and windows that let in plenty of natural light give this residence a spacious ambiance, with easy-care flooring that is perfect for pet owners.

Besides being just steps from the beach, the 1100 square-foot home also offers easy access to attractions such as Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links, Point Pinos Lighthouse and Asilomar State Beach, and to the Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail, perfect for walking, running or cycling.

The house is also in the heart of Pacific Grove’s city park network, and is close to Jewell Park, Caterpillar Park and Caledonia Park, which includes a tots’ play area, climbing equipment for older children and picnic tables. A little further south is George Washington Park, a forested area with nature and hiking trails. Also nearby is the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, offering displays and information on plants, animals and sea life of the region.

It’s also only a few minutes by car to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic 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.

Kitchen and Dining
The kitchen features a stainless steel gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator, generous amounts of cupboard and counter space, custom deep blue cabinetry and tiled backsplash. The dining table is in the middle of the kitchen features ocean-themed wall art and a glass-topped dining table with 4 metal chairs and stools are on hand for casual counter seating nearby.

We loved our stay! The house was very clean, well-stocked, and just a block from the beach—so convenient with two toddlers. We even walked to the aquarium using the trail nearby. The thoughtful touches like the wine, cheese, and welcome note made it extra special. Highly recommend!

Cute house and great location

We had a great stay here. The house was very clean and cozy. Super close to a nice beach with tide pools and a number of places to eat. Also easy access to the bike path- just a mile to the aquarium! My kids didn't want to leave.

4th of July/20th Wedding Anniversary

My family and I were so impressed with this rental that we hope to book it again next year! It was clean, it's proximity to both the beach as well as old town PG was amazing, and we were even able to walk to the aquarium! The home is well stocked with what you may need, beds were comfy, and the kitchen was nice to have to avoid eating out for every meal.

Family vacation

A great property in Pacific Grove. Really well located for local cafes and amenities, as well as a short drive to Carmel and the 17 Mile Drive. Also great for driving further afield to Big Sur. The property is in great condition, clean and with great additional features such as beach towels and toiletries. Thank you!

The best home away from home

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: Surfs Up was exactly as photographed. The home was immaculately clean, cozy and comfortable. The beds were awesome and every amenity was covered. The bathrobes were so great that we drove to Carmel to visit Amie in hopes to buy some to take home. That was the only “miss”, that they don’t sell them. We couldn’t have found a nicer, more conveniently located, wonderful home to spend our week near Monterey.

Wedding in May

We reserved 5 houses for the first weekend in May 2025 for family coming to Pacific Grove. They were all coming for our wedding! We held the ceremony and reception in our backyard on 19th street and it was great to have them just a few blocks away. We had family and friends from10 different states, most visiting PG for the first time. Your house was instrumental in creating a great 1st impression to PG for these 1st time visitors.The houses were perfect and only a 5 minute walk to our house on 19th street where the wedding and reception were held. Most guests stayed several days as the accommodations were so comfortable.Your house was perfect! We needed places for out of town friends and family states in the US, to be comfortable and to be able to easily walk to shops, restaurants and our home easily. We found and reserved 5 VRBO houses within a 5 minute walk to our cottage.Your home specifically was used by our 4 adult sisters and 2 brothers in law. It was heaven to them as they could be on the beach in minutes, walking, to fun, adorable shops full of adorable gifts, a well stocked grocery store with a historic look about it, to restaurants of all specialties, all less than a 5 minute walk.Your home was comfortable,with beautiful as well as functional furnishings.Check in was easy, your house was well cared for, clean and contained most items someone could hope for in a B&B

Small but efficient

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location just a block or two from the ocean, restaurants and shops. Close drive to Carmel, Cannery Row or Big Sur. The master bedroom is a good size and the second bedroom while not as spacious, is plenty big. Well stocked kitchen. Excellent, high end turkish towels in the bathrooms. Comfy bed with pretty good pillows. In the absence of AC, we chose to open windows which was not an easy task because many would not stay up on their own so we had to find ways to hold them up. (Hint: 2 wooden hangers on their sides work very well!)The TV system was a bit challenging as are many streaming/live systems but we eventually got the hang of it. Parking is limited but we managed. Overall, this is a very acceptable option in Pacific Grove.

Great House- responsive management

This house is great- exactly as pictured and comfortably fit 5 adults. Conveniently located for activities in Carmel, Monterey and a short stroll to the coast in Pacific Grove.
