Sunset Drive - Pacific Grove House - Spacious Oceanview, Across the Street from Asilomar Beach

Ocean views await in the skylit family room—where you'll be spending most of your time when you're not exploring the beauty of Asilomar Beach and Spanish Bay. Bathed in natural light, this spacious room has golden oak floors, two sofas, a TV, bistro table, and a game table that seats four.
Two bedrooms and a cozy office adjoin the upstairs family room. The first has a Queen bed and a powder room with a vanity sink set in a seagreen glass mosaic countertop. Then there's the Master suite: arched windows facing the sea span the length of the room, which features a fireplace, a King bed, and a bath with a toilet/bidet, walk-in shower, and two separate vanity areas.
Downstairs, there are two gathering places: the living room, with a sectional facing the fireplace, and a cozy sitting room with a large flat screen TV. The kitchen has granite countertops, knotty pine cabinetry, and stainless appliances; the dining area seats twelve at two separate tables.
Two first floor bedrooms (one Queen, and another with a Queen and a trundle bed) share a bath with granite countertops, a scalloped sink, and a tub/shower. The third downstairs bedroom features a King bed, double closets, and a private bath with a tub/shower.
This five bedroom, 3.5 bath home is just two blocks from the beach and is gated from the street. There's a play area in the backyard under the large, mature oaks.
NOTE: A guest cottage in the rear of the property may be occupied on rare occasions. It is not part of the house rental, and not available to rent.

A lovely weekend

We came together from England, Palo Alto and Seattle and had a wonderful weekend with a walk on Asilomar beach, a picnic lunch at Point Lobos and 4 hours at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had dinners at one table and a puzzle on the other.

Nice place. Sunset drive is a pretty busy street with quite a bit of vehicle traffic noise and across the street is a maintainence yard with trucks that start up pretty early. Also the upper bedroom has no window coverings and early morning light will bother late sleepers. Lots of room and very clean. Some of the bedroom carpets could be cleaned

A beautiful home, but NO privacy!

Monterey Vacation Rentals was wonderful to work with. The home itself was spacious and comfortable. It’s close to all the activities that are available in Monterey, as well as being in close proximity to the beach. It’s a great value as well, with the rental price being far more reasonable than many in the area. It had plenty of dishes, towels and bedding and we loved the quiet neighborhood. I would say the only drawback is the lack of adequate window coverings in the front of the house and bedrooms. This was a deal breaker for us and we wouldn’t book this home again. The lack of privacy, adequate rest and uninterrupted sleep were not worth it. There are NO window treatments in either of the living areas at the front of the house, so at night everyone who’s walking or driving by can see inside the house. They see your kids playing and what you’re watching on TV. If you have small children and you don’t want folks to see them running around, or if you’re a light sleeper...then this isn’t the place for you. The lower front bedroom has coverings in the bay window, but they’re cellular and let in ambient light from the street, traffic headlights and every time someone turns on the bathroom light in the next room it shines in your face, since the headboard is placed in the bay window. It also has another side window that has just a scarf thrown over a valance, so there’s no feeling of privacy. The lower back bedroom has vertical blinds that definitely didn’t keep the light out. The upstairs master bedroom has no window treatments at all, which affords no privacy whatsoever. There’s also the problem with the morning sun shining on you at 5am to wake up the kids, which is what happened both mornings of our stay in most of the bedrooms; when they usually sleep until 7-7:30am at home in their (darker) bedrooms. This is such a gorgeous place that I am confused as to why the owners wouldn’t invest in adequate window coverings to afford their guests the privacy that they’ve earned, in working hard to save and afford a decent vacation for their family. There seems to be a disconnect between what the owners prefer, and what their guests need to feel comfortable and rest well in their home? Overall, if you’re a group of adults who are deep sleepers and early risers and the lack of privacy doesn’t bother you...then this is a gorgeous and comfortable home to vacation in. Otherwise it’s a hard pass, imho.

Overall, a nice home

Overall the house is very nice. For a house of that size and quality, I would suggest the following: 1. Upgrade the furniture in parts of the house. Some of it is old and tired. 2. The house is a little short on pots and pans for being able to accommodate as many people as it can 3. Curtains upstairs. Curtains would go a long way towards making that room better for most people. They could be added and still keep the appeal of the view from the windows. 4. Door for shower upstairs. To keep the water inside the shower. I would stay at the home again as is but would enjoy it better with a few improvements. Thanks,

This house is perfect for a large family, and the back yard would make a safe play area for kids. Best of all is the close proximity to the beach and Asilomar--both an easy 10-minute walk.

Fabulous Beach House for a Family Vacation

We had a great time in Pacific Grove at the Sunset Drive home. First let me say that I had a great experience working with Monterey Rentals. The folks at Monterey rentals were very responsive to any questions I had and were just really helpful in every way. I would definitely rent from them again and recommend them to others. This home is in a great central location. The layout was perfect for a large group, there were 11 of us, of all ages from 6 to 68. The house has multiple common areas which were great as we had kids from 6 - 15 so some could be playing a game in one area while another could find a quiet space away from the game to read and plenty of room for the grownups to hang out and chat as well. The kitchen was well appointed and had every implement we could possibly need. The large octagon tables off the kitchen each sat 8 so plenty of seating for all to eat at the same time. We spent a lot of time in this area chatting and all hanging out and playing some family games. Really a wonderful layout ! My only suggestion would be regarding the back yard. There is a table with 4 chair (no cushions) and that is it. This house definitely needs an updated seating area in the back yard that would seat more people. All of us would have liked to be able to sit out in the back yard at the same time. The house accommodates so many people it would be nice if the backyard was more inviting to sit in for all. When we left we all agreed we want to come back again soon!! Thanks again to Monterey Rentals and Michelle for making it so easy for us!

our stay at 1012 Sunset Drive

We stayed here for four nights with our party of and really loved it. The home was very spacious and clean and is in a nice location. A short walk from the beach! This home is across from a wooded area so we had deer in yard almost every day. The kids really liked that. We liked that we could park behind the house and not on the road as it gave us a little more privacy. There is some industry close by and the road is busy but once inside the house, you could not hear it at all. The size of the home and the privacy it afforded meant that we got some excellent R&R. We really enjoyed using the well appointed kitchen and making our breakfast and dinners. There is enough space to seat everyone in the kitchen which was great.

Wonderful Large Home

This house was exactly what I was looking for - large - spacious - and perfect for chilling for our group of 12 going in between various events relating to my Son's wedding. I appreciated that as long as we were not having parties, we were allowed to have others gather at our place. We were respectful of the neighborhood and enjoyed daily walks to the beach to see the sun set as well as the easy proximity to the grocery stores, Big Sur and the Memory Garden in Monterey. Everything was in working order - dishwasher, washer and dryer, bathrooms and bedrooms were well appointed with plenty of towels, blow dryer, soap, shampoo (if you don't bring your own), toilet paper. Loved the large griddle for making eggs and pancakes. We even used the lawn chairs to take to the beach and 1 day we used the charcoal grill to make burgers. This place had everything we needed. One point - not necessarily negative. There is a lot of glass in this house (kitchen tables, end tables, decorations, both kitchen tables set with glass napkin holders, plates and wine glasses). There were only cloth napkins. We immediately put away all of the wine glasses and napkin rings so nothing would get broken. Overall I get that they are going for the first WOW impression, but I just wanted it all put away.

Beautiful, spacious home in Pacific Grove

The house was beautiful!! Very spacious and well equipped. I stay here with my Husband, Mother, a friend, and my Son and his family. The upstairs is very light and bright and a nice view of the ocean. The kitchen was well equipped. The location is amazing since my favorite beach is Asilomar State beach. A couple of suggestions. The furniture in the TV room downstairs is not real comfortable. Recliners would be my suggestion, especially for the mature guest. Also shades or blinds are needed because of the glare on the TV during the daylight hours. I spend my time walking during the day, but my husband did not so the glare was an issue with him. The refrigerator filter needed changing. But so does mine at home...... The deer in the backyard of the morning was an absolute bonus. Our stay was very enjoyable. Id definitely rent this home again. The process to book is extremely easy. I sure appreciated that!

Sunset Drive

Our family of 7 adults, 3 children and one baby had a great stay at the house. There was plenty of room and plenty of space to get away if you wanted. The house has been updated on the inside and everything was clean and comfortable. A beautiful beach is within easy walking distance. You should be aware that Sunset Drive is a busy main street, but that only means that the kids need to be kept in the back yard as opposed to the front. There was no noticeable noise from the street. Overall, a great family home! We'd rent it again in a minute!
