About the property

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Yellow House”! Home sleeps up to 8 guests.

Four Night Minimum Stay Year Round (excluding certain holidays and events).

A dream-come-true vacation home - the house is 2437 square feet, 4 bedroom, 2.5 baths and sleeps 8 in 1 king bed, 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds.

Bright and sunny inside and out, this turn-of-the-century yellow shingled 4-bedroom -- just a stone's throw from the recreation trail leading to the sheltered beach at Lovers Point in Pacific Grove and beyond -- is a vacationer's dream. You're so close to Monterey Bay you can hear the seals bark and watch the waves lap on the rocky shoreline from the living room, dining area and master bedroom.

The walk to the Monterey Bay Aquarium is an easy 5-10 minute stroll along the beautiful recreation trail. Also within walking distance are restaurants and attractions of both downtown Pacific Grove, Cannery Row and New Monterey.

Centrally located a few blocks from downtown and across the street from the famous Green Gables Inn, it is perfect for life-cycle events or family reunions, where large numbers of people want to be located near one another. Recently updated and freshly painted in upbeat yellows and sea-palette blues, the house has a casual, summery feel accentuated by comfy white furnishings.

The living room is bright and cheery with ocean views and a fireplace. The bright white fully-equipped eat-in kitchen opens to a larger dining area that seats 12.

A back deck with charcoal grill provides privacy for outdoor cooking or just plain relaxing.

fabulous house to stay in while visiting pacific grove

Overall Comment

This is the second time we have stayed in the house for a high school reunion. The four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs were very roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed the views of the ocean from the living room. The kitchen is well equipped. The location is perfect for exploring not only Pacific Grove but also the rest of the Monterey Peninsula. Great restaurants and shopping close.

Home is in a great location. Minutes away from Cannery Row and Lover's Point. Plenty of space to hangout. Home is on the older side and some areas shows its age. Great place for a family vacation

charming house in a great location

Overall Comment

Note that the room above the garage is a separate rental (which we didn't realize until after booking). The description says the garage is not locked but it actually is so bikes can be left inside although there is no room to park a car. The clawfoot tub was marked as unusable which was disappointing. The house is pretty creaky in some spots which is to be expected with an older house. The owner was very helpful and responsive.

exactly what we hoped for

This home was exactly what we had hoped. Our group consisted of 7 family members. 3 from the east coast and 4 from California. One of the east coast people had never been to California and did not want to leave.

Great location, and great view. While no one expects an historic house to have modern amenities, the house is tired and needs maintenance. Primary bedroom sink didn’t drain and backed up with yucky live gnats and dirt. 2nd bathtub was not usable. Downstairs bath sink did not have hot water. Some wall plugs were inoperable so charging electronics required switching out phones. Squeaky doors needed WD 40.

absolutely perfect location!

Overall Comment

I knew that the location was going to be great but it was honestly spectacular!! We walked to the aquarium one day and that was quick. We walked every day along the beach, then to the downtown area and then back to the house. The location made for a perfect walk. We found the beds to be very comfortable. We had two families of four staying in this house and it was the perfect layout for all of us. None of us were ready to leave when the time came. The owner was
great to communicate with. We would stay here again and we definitely recommend this property to everyone else

best location to stay

Overall Comment

Located across the street from a beautiful cove and the coastline trail. We saw deers, otters, pelicans, sea gulls and seals on most days. This very charming old house provided the space and everything we needed. The 10 minute walk to the Aquarium and Cannery Row was delightful and convenient. My family of five will plan to visit again.

a lovely family gathering at the yellow house

Overall Comment

The Yellow House was a wonderful place for our annual family gathering - we were all completely charmed from the moment we walked in! The house is beautiful, welcoming and comfortable for our group of eight. It was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could need - we like to cook together and the well-equipped kitchen was a delight. The location has a spectacular view of the Bay and shore (the window seat was continuously occupied!) and it's an easy walk to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Lovers' Point, and downtown Pacific Grove. Walking along the coast trail, wildlife-watching, photography, and shopping filled up the days. We contacted the owner with a couple of questions, and she was helpful and kind. We were very reluctant to leave, and hope to return to the Yellow House for our next family holiday - and have enthusiastically recommended it to friends.

fabulous house and location

Overall Comment

Loved everything about this house except for the beds which were extremely soft and some had dips in them from many years of use. Highly suggest getting some new mattresses that match the quality of the house and all other amenities. Location can’t be beat, great kitchen, dining area and general facilities. Other than my backache from the squishy mattress, it was a perfect stay.

beautiful home and amazing location

Overall Comment

First, the home is beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. The photos of the water and cliffs they show on the listing are right outside your door. The house has beautiful views of the water from multiple places inside.

The check in process was incredibly easy and the property management company followed up through email and Phone with clear instructions on how to check in.

The location is also perfect—it’s an easy walk to downtown Monterey and a very close drive to Carmel. I cannot recommend staying here enough!

yellow house almost perfect

Overall Comment

The location was perfect, with fabulous views and direct access to the walking/bike trail- provided great trips to Cannery row and Lover’s point with ocean views and mist at times. My only regret with the house was not being able to use the spa tub. The kitchen Was wonderful, bedrooms and baths comfortable sizes. Would have been nice to open the the windows more, but understand the safety issues. Overall a relaxing and splendid experience. I would do it again!

perfect ocean side getaway

Overall Comment

This was my first VRBO experience. We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this beautiful old Victorian house. The house was clean and well maintained. It was ideal for myself, hubby, parents, and 3 kids. The ocean view window seat was a favorite spot to relax after a busy day at the beach, hiking, tide pooling. The color palette and home decor was soothing, relaxing, and definitely gave the vibe of dreamy vacation getaway. We would stay at this house again. It’s a perfect location just steps from the beach, walking distance to cannery row in Monterey for shopping and dining, short drive to Carmel beach, 17 mile drive, point Lobos. Sanctuary vacation rentals was very helpful and responded to questions quickly and Irma was also very kind and answered phone right away. They gave great advice on things to do and restaurant options.

This was a perfect spot for our family reunion.
We found endless opportunities for fun: walks along the ocean to a Lovers Point and beyond, a path for the joggers, The Aquarium, great area restaurants, 17 Mile Drive, the beach, the seals, Carmel Mission and more.
Perhaps our most special moments were spent tucked into this cozy gem of a home, sharing meals, games and talking into the night. Yes, it felt like home
