3812 Little House - Nightly Rental, Historic Home, Just Steps to Coast Trail

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Little House”! Sleeps 6

A sweet Victorian home in Pacific Grove, just steps from the beach and the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail, is the perfect place to bring your family to relax and unwind, close enough to hear the waves and hear the seagulls calling in the distance. A small lawn area wraps around the house with geraniums and Mexican sage adding colorful accents.

The Little House, built in 1888, is a registered Pacific Grove Historic Home and has vintage charm inside and out while also offering modern conveniences. Pet-friendly with a fenced back yard, it’s set up to welcome every member of the family.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features stained glass windows and other classic Victorian details, as well as original hardwood floors and light fixtures, lovely antique furniture, historic photographs and other vintage details.

Besides being just steps from the beach, the 1,400-square-foot house is also only a few minutes away from Monarch butterfly sightings in Pacific Grove, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Downtown Monterey, Carmel and golfing in Pebble Beach® are a 10-minute drive away, and other attractions within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.

Living Space
Guests enter through a gate in a white picket fence, with steps leading to the front door of the red-and-white house. A cozy living room with a bay window and comfortable sofas provides a gathering place for conversation, watching the 32-inch HDTV or reading, and the adjacent vintage dining room table seats 6 next to a marble-topped antique sideboard.

Kitchen and Dining
The remodeled kitchen offers a four-burner gas range, blue cabinets, vintage tile backsplash and a farmhouse apron sink, with plenty of counter space and prep area. On the other side of the kitchen is a small home office with desk and rolling chair, ideal for doing paperwork or computer work. A stacked washer and dryer is conveniently tucked into this space.

A door from the office leads into the back yard, where there is a gourmet gas grill and tall vine-covered fences for privacy. Seating around a fire pit makes this a great place for afternoon barbecues or late-night stargazing.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
On the lower / main level, Bedroom #1 features a California king bed and an en suite bath with a pedestal sink, hexagonal tiled floor and claw foot tub with shower.

Upstairs, Bedroom #2 has a queen-size antique bed and ocean views from the windows.
Bedroom #3 features two twin beds.
A unique, light-filled full bath with a pedestal sink, hex tile and claw foot tub with shower is tucked under the steeply angled ceiling.

Parking is available for two cars in the driveway but any additional cars must park one block away due to limited street parking in front of the house. Carpooling is recommended.

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

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. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

Staying here for a small girls trip was absolutely wonderful. The property was lovely and beautiful. The short walk to the water was perfect and a short walk to town. Would definitely recommend and stay with this property again! The house is stunning with beautiful architecture on the inside.

Charm to the max for a great family getaway!
Our family of 6, including in-laws, and 7 and 3 year old, spent a week in Monterey and found the little red house to be a perfect home away from home. We were easy walking distance to fantastic restaurants and shops a few blocks away in Pacific Grove as well as the coastal trail to the aquarium and lover's point, the wharf, ect. Such a great location! The surrounding residential neighborhood was quiet, just a couple of blocks from a great playground and steps from the ocean, perfect for kids and families who want peaceful nights and mornings with the sights and sounds of the sea, not tourists and parties. You can't miss the views of the ocean or the beautiful stained glass in the windows. The back and side garden are fenced, with lovely landscaping and flowers in addition to the fire pit table and grill with ample seating. The kitchen and baths were well stocked with quality supplies like pans and plates/cutlery, towels, etc; we did have to apply dishwashing detergent, however eco friendly laundry soap sheets were a pleasant surprise. Of course having a washer and dryer is such a bonus! The layout and rooms are surprisingly spacious for a small house, and everyone noted good sleep in their comfy beds. The claw foot tubs are deep, and the shower water pressure is excellent with elegant fixtures. Communication was easy and very responsive, and overall the check in and check out process was super easy with zero hassle.

Gorgeous house
What an adorable house and in a perfect location, half block from the ocean. The house is finished perfectly, tile, hardwood floors, everything fits the house. Every pot, pan, waffle marker, crock pot, knife, plates, plastic cups, wine glasses, mugs is available for you to use. Large refrigerator, toaster oven, keurig were all available. Sheets and towels were nice. Hair dryers in each bathroom, q tips and cotton balls, everything you may have forgotten at home. You can see the water from several windows. Neighborhood was so quiet - only the seagulls made noise my only comment was we asked last minute for a late check out and were told by management company 30 mins would be all they could offer, we accepted. Promptly at check out time someone came to the house ready to start stripping bedding and towels he told us nothing was communicated to him and we need to be more direct with the rental company. We left 5 mins after check out but it was a tad frustrating. House is great, location is great will stay again

A little bit of serenity
It was a wonderful little place, very cozy close to the water, walking distance to restaurants. Very clean, the shower is in a clawfoot tub which I loved but may not be for everyone. I had a very relaxing time celebrating my son’s birthday with a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and surrounding area.

Perfect Little Home In Historic Pacific Grove
Our family of 4 stayed in the Little House and loved it! It is so clean and there isn’t a thing the owners/rental company have not thought of to stock on the premises. The bath towels are luxurious, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need, minus spices. We did not do a lot of cooking, so not an issue for our family. The proximity to Lover’s Point, the Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf and the downtown area are why we chose this location and couldn’t be more happy with our pick. We walked everywhere! They even have binoculars you can take to view the sea lions, otters, and birds. Love that they offer all convenience items - hand soap, toulet paper, roll of paper towels, trash bags, dish washing tabs, Trader Joe’s shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They also offer Ecos laundry sheets, which was a nice bonus. Many reviews mention the bathtubs. I will say, if you are not agile enough to step into the tub, you may want to reconsider this property. We did not have any issues, but for an elderly person, it would likely be impossible to get in and bathe safely. The house is so quaint and we hope to return one day. Rent this home for your visit, you will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful time at the Little House- it has everything you need (the kitchen was particularly well stocked)! It was so cozy and relaxing.

The house was perfect!! Great neighborhood, 1 block from the bay. The kitchen is excellent. We were only 3. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs room and my adult son stayed upstairs. There is another room upstairs with twin beds (I think). Communication with everyone was excellent. We loved this little red house.

Family Getaway to Monterey Bay
This home was perfect our family of 4, with two teenagers. The location very close to the path along the bay which made it easy to stroll to the Aquarium or just enjoy the views. We could easily walk out for meals and groceries. The home had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Instructions for everything were clear and easy to follow.

The Sweet Spot
Pretty much walkable to where you want to go, with the cutest little backyard area! I found myself conflicted - I wanted to explore the beauties the area has to offer, but I also just wanted to hang in out at the home. This house is filled to the brim with Victorian charm. The clawfoot bathtubs were wonderful for soaking, but be advised, showering created a slippery surface. Be cautious of that. The home was well-equipped and very comfortable. I would love to return one day, however it is pretty pricey and seems to fluctuate greatly - but is definitely a “get what you pay for” experience. If you are very tall, I would not recommend this home only because of the low ceilings located upstairs. Other than that it’s pretty near perfect!

We enjoyed a beautifully decorated historical home in the heart of Pacific Grove. We were welcomed with wine, cheese, and crackers. There is a beautiful oceanside trail just around the corner and many restaurants, shops, and an amazing aquarium are in walking distance. The kitchen is well stocked. Towels, bedding, linens were nice quality. We had difficulty with the preprogrammed A/C. Despite our efforts to keep the desired temperature at 70, it kept hopping back up to 80. The firepit and outdoor chairs were not prepped for use. We had plenty of keys and parking is easy.
