3263 Villa by the Sea ~ Almost Oceanfront, Walk to Aquarium & Cannery Row!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Villa by the Sea"! Sleeps up to 6 guests.

Location, location, location!
This custom European-style 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse-style home, just steps from Monterey Bay, has fantastic views of whitewater, sailboats, sea life and the mountains beyond.

The 1,800 sq ft home is just minutes to downtown Pacific Grove, Cannery Row and the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium and a short drive to Carmel or Pebble Beach. A walking and bike path along the shoreline extends from Cannery Row to Lover’s Point, past the famed succulent carpet of pink blooms, around Pt. Pinos with its trademark lighthouse, all the way to Spanish Bay and world-famous Pebble Beach.

A charming wooden gate welcomes you to a brick pathway lined with ferns and trumpet vines that leads to the front door. Enter a vaulted foyer with an Art Nouveau stained-glass chandelier, a hand-carved Moroccan mirror and an intricately carved antique wood chest from India.

The reverse floor plan takes full advantage of the bay views. Climb the stairs from the entryway and enter a spacious living room with rustic Old-World charm imparted by a beamed vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace with a carved and gilded wooden mirror over the mantle, a sofa and upholstered side chairs. The only touch of modernity is a large flat-screen TV with cable service. Bay windows look out to the handsome neighboring homes, Monterey cypresses and the ocean.

The upper level kitchen and dining room feature tranquil views of white-capped waves on the bay and beyond to distant mountains. Enjoy cooking in the fully-equipped, white ceramic-tiled kitchen from which you may catch sight of an occasional whale or a pod of dolphins. Cooks will enjoy the vintage Wolf gas stove, side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. A long countertop divides the cooking and dining areas which allows the cook to serve diners without missing any of the fun.

The adjacent dining area has a long wooden antique table seats up to 8 beneath a European wrought-iron chandelier. Enjoy daylight views of Monterey Bay sea life while dining.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 on the second-floor has a charmingly rustic character created by the wood-beamed ceiling, bronze Moroccan chandelier, king bed, walk-in closet and a view of the bay. The large terracotta tiled bathroom with its walk-in shower, his-and-her sinks and a separate commode complete the suite.
