About this property

3646 Seashore Retreat ~ Walk to the Beach, Available for Extended Stays!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Seashore Retreat”! Sleeps up to 6 guests.

This charming home is just two blocks from the beach and has décor that includes lighthouses, ships and the history of the Monterey Bay. With two bedrooms on the ground floor and a master bedroom suite on the second floor, Seashore Retreat is perfect for a family or for couples traveling together.

Located on a quiet one-way street within walking distance of downtown Pacific Grove’s restaurants, shops and movie theater, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath house is also just a 5-minute drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row, about 8 minutes to downtown Monterey, and 15 to 20 minutes by car to Carmel and Pebble Beach®.

The 2,100-square-foot Craftsman-style house has a tiled entryway opening into a great room that includes a living room, dining room and kitchen, with bedrooms on either side. The living room promises cozy evenings curled up on the beige sectional sofa and chaise in front of the electric fireplace and 38-inch flat screen HDTV.

Bar stools line one side of the granite counter top in the kitchen, convenient for breakfast, lunch or snacks, and the wooden dining room table seats six.

The kitchen, with new stainless steel appliances and stone tile back splash, has a gas range and oven as well as both microwave and convection ovens, making family meals a snap. An adjacent laundry room includes a washer and dryer. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms:
A staircase leads to the second floor suite, where Bedroom #1 has its own balcony with outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or a late night glass of wine while looking out at Monterey Bay. A king-sized brass bed with a blue and white bedspread, 36-inch flat screen HDTV and two adjacent upholstered chairs highlight the bedroom.

The upstairs suite also includes a huge walk-in closet and the bathroom with a luxurious tub with Jacuzzi whirlpool jets and separate custom tiled shower with sunburst shower head. Two sinks with brushed nickel hardware are surrounded by a granite counter top.

Bedroom #2 on the ground floor, highlighted with red, white and blue accents, has a queen bed and 28-inch flat screen HDTV. An adjoining bathroom with a shower tub combo is adorned with custom tile in shades of white and brown, and brushed nickel fixtures and a granite counter top surround the sink. Another door makes this bathroom accessible from the living room.

In Bedroom #3, on the ground floor, two twin beds can be made up as a split king with foam topper. En suite bathroom with shower. This bedroom also has an electric fireplace.

Doors from Bedroom #3 and the living room lead out onto a large outdoor deck, fenced for privacy and perfect for barbecuing on the gas grill, letting the kids play, or enjoying a cool drink. A unique feature is a patio table that is set into a large oak tree.

Cars can be parked in a driveway behind the house as well as a one-car garage, and parking is also available on the street.

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

This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of our team and the homeowner. Extended stays are often possible.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is very comfortable, our family enjoys the location and the configuration of the house. The kitchen is great to cook in with up to date appliances, and the open concept of the house lets you still be part of the activities while you have kitchen duty. Very walkable area, either to town or the coastal trail.

We hardly ever used our car! The home worked very well for us with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. It was fairly well equipped and served our purposes well.

Perfect house

The House was perfectly situated for our needs, including a well stocked kitchen, barbecue, WiFi, and cable TV. It was convenient to everything in Monterey and Pacific Grove. The only downsides would be a very small dishwasher and the need to use filtered water for drinking (Brita pitcher was included).

Three Cs...comfy, clean, convenient!

We loved staying at Seashore Retreat. First, the communication with Sanctuary Vacation Rentals was stellar! Upon arrival, we found some yummy snacks, wine, and a beautiful home. This immaculate property has a great floor plan for multiple guests. The beds and furniture are so comfortable! We especially enjoyed hanging out on the big sofa next to a warm fire. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you need to make meals. Finally, the home is very conveniently located. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow, what a wonderful vacation home! The location couldn't be better; two blocks to the ocean and one or two blocks to the business district. The rooms were all of generous size, the beds very comfortable, and a very nice kitchen. Neighbors are also nonintrusive but friendly. This is the fourth home we've rented through Sanctuary and wouldn't rent through anyone else; always great service.

Perfect for our family

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: My family and I had a wonderful stay (my parents, husband, kids). This was a great space for us — big enough that we could spread out but open enough that we could all hang out together. The location was wonderful, we enjoyed walking to the aquarium (just under a mile) and to the downtown restaurants and shops. The house was well appointed and very clean.

Beautiful property.

This property was lovely, perfect location in Pacific Grove and very well equipped. The only issues were the Tv not working in the downstairs not bedroom and we couldn't seem to get hot water out of the shower in the bigger downstairs bedroom. Other than that I couldn't fault a thing, I would stay again.

Great House in a great location!

We were 6 women traveling to enjoy the area. This house is well equipped for visitors! Three full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable shared spaces and VERY attentive house manager! We were there during the storm and lost power- but they were very helpful and on top of it. The only reason I'm not giving this a 5 star is that the third bedroom would be great for kids - uncomfortable beds and a bit stuffy for adults. But the other two rooms are beautiful and ample. Everything is quality here - towels, dishes, furniture, information and location.

Perfect Beach Retreat!

3646 Seashore Retreat is a beautiful, comfortable property in a perfect location; walking distance to the beach in one direction and quaint shops/restaurants in the other direction. We held an early Family Thanksgiving here for our family and everything we needed to make a holiday meal was provided. The well-equipped kitchen even had double ovens. The beds were comfortable, the finishes high-end. One really special feature of the property is the large oak tree in the deck; so relaxing to sit outside under the tree, watch the birds play and enjoy a cup of coffee. We will definitely be back; but this time we will bring bikes for the beach-side bike path and we will stay longer! We would highly recommend this property to anyone who loves being near the beach and appreciates all the extra touches the owners have put in this lovely property.

Back to Pacific Grove

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: Fifty years ago my husband served in the military at Fort Ord. We loved Pacific Grove then but family drew us home. But the charm, friendliness and beauty bring us back every few years. Seashore Retreat is a perfect location on a quiet street 2 blocks from the beach and town. The house is clean, comfortable and dog friendly. We could not ask for more! Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is by far the best agency is outstanding in its attention to detail in all phases of our contract.

The most marvelous monthly stay !!

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: I needed a quality home ( preferably managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals). I need to be there for a month for the marriage of my daughter locally and for all the relatives to have a nice homey stay in a beautiful home with a lovely bed and bath set up. The house was immaculate, homey without being “precious)”. The magnificent oak is a wonder to behold! I saw squirrels, gulls, crows, and the occasional neighborhood cat. The garage and off street parking were outstanding and a great unicorn for that part of town. I’d like to mention that the lovely lighthouse decor was so stepped up with the replicas of Pacific Grove’s own Point Pinos light house. Many great meals were made in the kitchen, and many walks and runs were made from the home. It was outstanding on so many levels. Thank you so much!

Gorgeous seashore retreat

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: We loved this house! Not only is it brand new, but it has been decorated with very good taste, and with the guests in has everything you need and more to make your stay comfortable: bath robes, beach gear, a fully-equipped kitchen perfect for those who like to cook (as my husband), incl. espresso machine (and the basics for cooking and cleaning, which is good b/c you don't need to buy them), great beds and linens, and more. The location is excellent, only a couple of blocks from the sea, around 4 from the closest beach, and just one from the main street. It's also close to Canery Row, downtown Monterey, and the drive to Carmel and its surroundings is also close and lovely.We travel a lot and like to experience new places by living in houses; this one was one of the best we've ever been at. Customer service from Sanctuary Vacation Rentals was outstanding; you get all the instructions that you need, and Julie was readily available to help us out. Pacific Grove is a beautiful little town, impeccably maintained and with great old houses. We highly recommend Seashore Retreat!

Perfect location for a family vacation in Monterey

Well equipped and comfortable property. Check-in and check-out was so easy; never had to contact property manager during our entire stay. Nice that there was a full propane tank ready to go. I missed the part about them having a trash/recycling concierge service - meaning we didn't have to rush the cans out the to the curb at 5:30am when the trucks rumbled up the street. Good thing I was already awake! I guess the only suggestion would be to have the outside wood deck swept before tenants move in. Wasn't a big deal. Just a few leaves.... I noticed the admonition to avoid parking in front of other neighbors homes. Wasn't an issue for us - we had only 1 car which we parked in the garage or driveway. Seems like everyone else parked in front of the property - so it would have been an issue if we had more than 1 car. Nevertheless, a very nice time! Walked to bike rentals. Cute resturants just up the street.

Best stay ever!

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: My husband and I stayed at Seashore Retreat during the month of February. Our stay here was not without incident. Unfortunately we lost power a few days after our arrival for four days. The staff at Sanctuary Rentals was unfailingly prompt, understanding and efficient at resolving all problems. They delivered battery operated candles, flashlights and sympathy. There were a few more times we called to let them know of missing or broken items in the kitchen and these issues were addressed promptly. We did encounter problems with people parking in front of the house (we did have a tiny driveway but never used it.) Management delivered orange cones for the front and this mostly solved the problem. The house was clean, well stocked and well maintained. Check in and check out was very simple It is well set up for many guests as there are private bathrooms for every bedroom. The dining table is large. Bedrooms and bathrooms are large with lots of storage. We appreciated the laundry room and the house is set up with paper products (toilet paper, etc) so we didn’t have to hurry out and shop immediately . The patio is very private and we had our coffee out there every morning. The home is equidistant between the ocean and downtown restaurants, shopping and even a cinema. It’s even only a mile walk to the Monterey Aquarium. We enjoyed whale watching, the redwood trees, Monterey Aquarium, hiking at Elkhorn Slough, driving down to Bixby Bridge and 17 mile drive and the butterfly sanctuary. We loved going to breakfast at LouLou’s Griddle in the Middle, Toasty’s, The Mission Ranch restaurant with its bucolic sheep pasture adjoining and so much more. There are numerous bakeries close by but Pavel’s Backerei is renowned. Unfortunately it was only open one day a week by the time we left. All in all a fantastic home in an amazing location managed by incredible people. I would absolutely recommend this over the top home and management compan

Somewhat Disappointing

Very roomy, master suite upstairs especially large and comfortable. The bonus room off the dining room, with access to the patio/deck, also large and convenient to use as an office and exercise area. But the cleanliness disappointed us - kitchen floor was sticky, the outside deck was dirty, especially the mats that are supposed to be used to wipe one's feet before going into the house. Sanctuary did come and re-do the floor on our first day there and take the mats to the cleaners. The television watching experience is uncomfortable. The sectional sofa is old and very, very soft. The TV is close to the sofa and high on the wall so that you are looking straight up to watch. The location of the home is very convenient to town and to Lover's Point and the bicycle/pedestrian path. And it's nice to have a garage to store one car and bicycles.

home away from home

Practically everything was well appointed, super comfortable, and worked great. I loved the communication style and privacy we were afforded, the decks, the dog friendliness, the comfy master bed... Fantastic place. The only thing that was off was a barstool that was loose/broken, but we set it aside as there were only 2 of us so it was no big deal. I'm sure they'll fix it.

Guest Chefs at Pebble Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was very spacious, clean, and was presented well. However the descriptor states there was room for 8 guests. With 3 bedrooms there were 3 queens, 1 futon, and 1 spacious couch. I can see where 8 guests can fit, however having 8 individual beds was the mindset when making the reservation. We didn't know guests had to share the beds. Also in one AD we saw a photo of a pool table which we were very much interested in, however upon arrival we noticed there wasn't a pool table on site which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was still a nice property.
