Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Lovers Point Whitewater Cottage"! This home sleeps up to 5 guests.
Exceptional home on a peaceful street located directly across from a park with direct whitewater crashing-waves ocean views. Peace, privacy and views are exceptional because all living spaces are elevated above street level.
This wonderful Beach House is just a five-minute stroll to Lover’s Point beach via the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail which is just steps from the front door. Sea lions, barking harbor seals and Sea otters are common sights and sounds along the edge of the bay, a stone's throw from the home.
Situated just a few blocks from downtown Pacific Grove in one direction and under a mile from the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row in the other. Boutique shopping experiences, tasty restaurants and golf options aplenty await you - and don't forget all the special events like Monterey Car Week, the Carmel Bach Festival, Pebble Beach® Food and Wine and so many more.
Guests will enjoy the ocean view from the home and its proximity to Lover's Point Beach. For those traveling with their fur babies, Asilomar State Beach is a short but beautiful scenic drive away, not to mention Carmel Beach and many dining options, hiking trails and destinations in this famously dog-friendly part of the world.
Living Space This shingle-clad quintessential Beach House is well-equipped for your coastal vacation. Enjoy views of the bay from the comfort of your living room. At the end of each day's activities, settle into the comfortable seating around the easy-to-use electric fireplace and TV with streaming service so you can binge your favorite shows (guests should bring the logins to their streaming subscriptions for programming). Lively large genuine Art Nouveau antique posters, gleaming wood floors and exposed ceiling beams are a sampling of the character of this cheerful home.
Outside Step out the side door from the kitchen to a charming brick patio with an outdoor dining table, benches and a propane BBQ grill, a perfect place to gather for meals al fresco.
Kitchen and Dining The fully-equipped kitchen is ready to help you create both culinary masterpieces and casual meals. The kitchen features solid granite countertops, an inset gas stovetop, double wall ovens and a stainless steel refrigerator. Both conventional drip and single K-cup coffee makers are on hand. A coastal-themed stained glass installation is a standout art piece.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms All three bedrooms are located upstairs and they feature plush carpet and white shiplap walls and ceilings. Bedroom #1 has a king bed and TV. Bedroom #2 has a queen bed. Bedroom #3 has a full/double bed. Upstairs, the full hall bathroom is located near the bedrooms and has a both a vintage clawfoot tub placed in front of a whimsical mural and a separate shower with beachy accent tiles. The lower level has a half bathroom near the living spaces.
A washer and dryer set are conveniently located upstairs near the full bathroom and bedrooms.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.
Off-street parking for one small / low-profile vehicle is available in the garage, plus storage space for bikes or golf clubs. Street parking across from the home is generally available on a first come, first served basis but guests should take care not to park in front of neighbors' homes.
This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home.

The house was absolutely stunning inside and out. The view of the ocean was amazing. Spotted even whales from the living room! Had every amenity you could need and was a close walk/drive to anything you could want in the area. Highly recommend!
House was welcoming and they had just the right about of thing in kitchen and bathroom to make us feel comfortable. Beds were so comfortable that I have been able to sleep as good since I got home!

Thank you very much for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed your visit and look forward to having you stay with us again soon!
The location of this property and the view of the ocean are definitely a treat! The 3 bedrooms worked perfectly for my family of 4. There was an abundance of bath linens, and I appreciated that. We were also able to do daily laundry with the stackable washer. We enjoyed walking to the Aquarium, lunch at Il Veccio, Crema, and ice cream at Collette's.The 1 complaint we had is that the house is definitely very cat friendly, and this was not noted anywhere. I am highly allergic, and this would've been helpful to know, as we would've chosen another property. The smell was very offensive upon arrival even with the windows open. Air purifiers might go a long way. I reached out on 2 different occasions with questions to get help with grocery service and an excursion, and I never heard back on either. I also emailed and texted another time about an issue with the hot water, and it took over 6 hrs to get a response.

Thank you for your feedback. We do want to clarify that there have never been any cats at the property. We do occasionally accommodate guests traveling with dogs, and the home is thoroughly cleaned between stays. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review the cleaning products and any fragrances used in the home.
As to the communication challenges with our Guest Services Team, we would like to offer our sincere apologies. Our general manager is aware of your concerns and is looking into this matter personally.
We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future!
My husband and I stayed here with our two children (19 and 17) and our dog. We frequently stay in the PG area and this house is probably in the top three most lovely houses we’ve ever stayed in. It’s spacious, clean, and retains the charming mystery of an old house while still having modern amenities. The view to the ocean is fantastic but the trees across the street (for me) were the true star. There are binoculars for you to use to watch the deer each morning/evening and it’s lovely to wake up to the sound of the ocean. We will certainly stay here again! Our Honda CRV was able to fit in the garage (the door is low, as stated) but no issues there. The yard was secure for our dog, however we did push the BBQ in front of the side gate, just in case he got any ideas about trying to crawl under it, as it does not come all the way to the ground. Some strategic shades in the living area would be helpful, although we got used to it; the living area is above the street level, but the windows are large and visible from a distance. The kitchen had everything we needed except a cooling rack for cookies and a very flat spatula for flipping pancakes. :) Easy fixes, as the kitchen is large, open, bright, and welcoming. What a great trip and I recommend you book this home!
