Historic house built in 1918 with good "bones." Fabulous location near sites in area with a great view of the ocean. Kitchen is not high tech but outstandingly stocked to cook meals for a family. Upstairs is subdivided into bedrooms as was done in houses this old, with one bedroom not having direct access to a bathroom. Closets too are not an easy fit but are available with some drawer space depending on the bedroom decor.
Thank you for your review! We look forward to your next visit!

Wonderful birthday celebration with my family. We stayed in the Yellow House. It was beautiful inside and out with the best stocked kitchen I have ever experienced. Sanctuary really does a better job than others. We talked to them to get our check in code and check out details the old fashioned way. They were great. Always helpful. You won't be disappointed if you stay here. House has a million dollar location.

We had the best week at the big yellow house for my Birthday. The location was perfect and within walking distance to town. The only thing we were sad about was the tub was not working. I would definitely stay again, we didn’t want to leave!!

Thank you very much for the lovely review of Yellow House Main. We agree, the location is perfect to explore the area and go for long walks on the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail. We look forward to your next visit to the area.
Once again, the Yellow House was amazing. It has become our go to place for family vacations with our son and his family. The location is perfect - beautiful views and walking distance to Lover's Point and Cannery Row and the Aquarium. We are are already looking forward to our next visit.

We loved this house. It was so "homey," and the view was beyond beautiful. We all took morning walks because the house was across the street from the walking trail.

Thanks for your review of Yellow House. We agree, the location just steps away from the Monterey Bay Trail and within walking distance of shops and dining is perfect.
We loved our stay for our family gathering. With a large kitchen and dining table, we all managed to cook for each other and gather for fun meals. Variety of rooms great for all ages. Location excellent! We will come back again!

Thanks for your lovely review of your recent stay. We are so happy you enjoyed the home and the excellent location. We look forward to your next visit!
The house and location cannot be beat. The trail along the coast is a skip hop away. Canary Row and Lover’s Point are short walks. There are many yummy restaurants nearby too. It was wonderful to be with four generations under one roof at this unique and beautiful historic home.
