3812 Little House - Historic Home, Walk to the Bay
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!

This was our second visit to the little house and we will definitely come again:) It's so cozy and well equipped and I love how easy it is to pop down yo the beach and see all the amazing wildlife!
This cute home had all we needed, including a fenced yard for our dogs. We were able to walk to the aquarium and to downtown Pacific Grove. Great location.
Ideal location. Tasteful Decor. Very Clean.We are all 80 and would have appreciated a walk-in shower on at least one floor. So extremely hazardous that we all skipped a shower after 1st night.
We enjoyed our stay in a clean, and comfortable Victorian home. We enjoyed the wine, crackers, and cheese! Great location walking distance to restaurants, lovers beach, and Monterey Aquarium.
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 best part though is the location, we walked to the aquarium, the beach, the playground, restaurants, everything is so close! Loved our stay and didn't want to leave.
This place is a hidden gem. The location is perfect, walking distance to the ocean, aquarium, shopping, dinning, all in reasonable distance. The house is very clean, has a well equipped kitchen. You walk in and feel right at home!
Clean and very cute Victorian style home. Cozy place to be after a day of sight seeing. Easy access to the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail along the ocean. Just had to walk to end of the block for great ocean and sea otter views. Highly recommend!
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.

Our stay at the Little House was perfect. I was staying with my sister and a friend. We like to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the living room is a cozy place to hang out in the evenings. This was our second time staying at Little House. We will book it again next year.
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.

This house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the king-sized bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The best part, however, was the proximity to the walking path along the breathtaking coastline. Our dog loved it too.

This is our second stay at this rental house. It was comfortable and cozy. Stocked with almost everything you need. Extra coffee filters would have been nice. Had to leave the remaining 200 pack we bought. Can’t use them at home. Somebody will use them. Found the long matches after I improvised to light the BBQ. The house is perfect for a small family and our dog loved the yard. To us it’s in the perfect location. Quiet neighborhood and equal walking distance to downtown Pacific Grove and cannery row. The little park down the street is fun for dogs and easy access to the coastal trail. Wed stay here again and the only two very minor complaints are the worn out “soft” couch cushions and the “cozy” showers in the claw foot tubs. But I guess that’s part of the charm of the house 😉

We had a family gathering in Pacific Grove and stayed in the Little House. What a well kept lovely Victorian home. We were right next to the path to walk my dogs for hours. We took a surrey along the path...what a trip that was. Inside the home you will find all you need. I highly recommend staying here.

My husband and I have stayed here a couple of times with our doggie. Great location in a quiet neighborhood nice little yard for the dog, clean and comfortable. Other reviews have mentioned the shower, tub being precarious, and we agree with that. I would not recommend this house if you have any mobility issues, as it can be a danger.

My family of four including daughters 9 and 11 stayed here for four nights with the in-laws. Our family stayed upstairs and it was quite private from the downstairs. Everything was wonderful and the host was super responsive. My daughter spilled nail polish on a rug and shower curtain and I sent photos of the crime scene to the host and they were able to handle it and didn’t charge us which was very kind. I would stay here again.

We loved this historic home, location and amenities.The only downside for us were the old claw-footed bathtubs.They look great and fit the old style, but for us they were very difficult to get in and out and I actually needed help not to slip.While I know it would be a cost to the owner, putting a walk-in shower downstairs would allow older guests to really enjoy this wonderful home.I guess because we stayed 5 nights, it was more of an issue.
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.
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’ve been visiting PG for the last 25 years and this is our first home stay. We spent a week here and wish we could stay more. The house was perfect for our family and dog. It was spotlessly clean and well stocked for anything you may need. Beds were very comfortable. Some beach chairs and a small cooler would have been appreciated. We loved the character of the home from 1888. I agree with most guests concerning access into the clawfoot tubs but that’s part of the charm. Neighborhood was quiet except for trash day. They sure get started early 🙁. The location made it easy to walk to downtown PG, the coastal trail and Cannery Row. Sanctuary was great the work with and there were no surprises. We’ll be back soon. Highly recommended.
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

This house is less than a block from the water where you can look out and see otters and seals. It is a well-kept, comfortable house with all the amenities. The kitchen was great, has lots of room, and everything you need to cook. There's a nice backyard area with fire pit and BBQ which makes for a great gathering space. The beds were really comfortable. If you are looking to stay in Pacific Grove, this is a great choice!As with all classic Victorians, it has a claw foot tub, which will create some problems for people with limited mobility or balance issues. I am short, which made it a challenge too. It's a big step in and a big step out. That was the only downside for us, and I can't complain about it because I knew about it going in. There were a few very small things I contacted the property manager for and they were very quick to reply. Thank you!
