3715 Bliss by the Sea ~ Beach/Trail/Aquarium, Available for Extended Stays!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Bliss By the Sea"! This home sleeps up to 5 adults and 1 child.

The best of past and present are combined in this historic Victorian home, within easy walking distance of the beach as well as dining and shopping in charming downtown Pacific Grove. Or you may just want to relax on the backyard deck, porch or balconies, and watch the world go by.

This 2,000sf, 2-bedroom plus sleeping loft, 2.5-bath residence, exquisitely finished inside in updated Arts and Crafts fashion, blends vintage furnishings with sophisticated West Elm style. The pet-friendly home includes a fully fenced back yard.

In addition to being within a few minutes’ walk of downtown Pacific Grove, the house is within walking distance of the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, and is also just 10 minutes from the world-class golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach®, and 45 minutes by car from the natural beauty of Big Sur.

The light-filled house contains photos and artwork reflecting Pacific Grove’s historic past, including a hand-painted tile mural in the kitchen that shows the home in its original ocean-side location.

The first floor includes a living room, dining room and kitchen, flowing together to create an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining. Hardwood floors are found throughout, with a beautiful Tiffany-style light fixture in the dining area over a mid-century table that seats six. The living room provides an area for conversation or reading, and includes a 36-inch HDTV.

An adjacent outside deck includes a gourmet gas grill, comfortable outdoor seating, and a fire pit table, a cozy place to gather for drinks or barbecuing.

The updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and a double oven, in addition to custom-made cabinetry and granite counter-tops. Down the hall is a convenient half-bath as well as a combination office and laundry room. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Bliss by the sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My input would be as follows:Sanctuary staff - first rate. Dont know where you are getting your team, but every interaction is great. They are mature, competent, helpful, intelligent...House - second year we have rented, it has definitely showing the wear. Some examples: The kitchen cabinets need some help one kept coming off the hinge. I repaired as I could but did not have tools. The ice machine on the fridge is not working properly. I emptied it twice, and turned it off as it kept jamming and leaking to the floor. There are nail pops on the floor, we had a foot cut from a young grandchild, I tapped a few down, but likely needs some professional help. Similarly on the floor there are scratches from the chairs. Two chairs did not have rubber grommets on the bottom. I bought some but they are too big. However I wanted something on them. The pots and pans and other cooking stuff need some organization and upgrading. Lots of stuff but all over the place, further need to have fewer nice stuff in the right sizes (e.g. Teflon pans that stick, only one metal spatula). Some other nits but nothing major, love the house, feel bad that some renters are so hard on it. Only thing else to mention is to supply with some better quality toilet paper, and more little things that we did not bring like kitchen supplies, wash detergent, tissue etc.Sorry for the ramble. Great team at sanctuary, Great house we will rent again. some tlc.John

A great house!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is very nice in a great location and had everything we needed for our stay. The only thing that kept me from making 5 stars is the house is equipped with an eight zone sound system with controls in each room but none of them worked. We reported this to Sanctuary property management who said they would have someone call to set up an appointment to repair the next day. We never were contacted and the system never worked. Management never called to check on status.

Nice place and location but needs some work

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Home was beautifully remodeled over 15 years ago. One of the nicest I have ever seen. Unfortunately it is showing signs of wear and tear and a general lack of routine maintenance. I left a list of recommended repairs before we left with Sanctuary. (I inspect buildings for our church properties in Morgan Hill. We will be renting again next year and we are hopeful repairs will have been made by then.

The Bliss is gone from Bliss by the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: In our opinion, this home is not ready for prime time. Good bones, but weak condition. While we appreciate the responsiveness from Sanctuary, you may want to encourage the owner to make improvements. It took three requests and visits to fix 1st floor toilet. While the location is great, we were disappointed with the house. While we understand that homes along the coast age quicker, we are surprised by the lack of maintenance.

Bliss By The Sea Pacific Grove

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location of Bliss by the Sea. In just a half a mile walk, we were down to the coastal trail. Kitchen and bathroom supplies were so well stocked. Instructions for arrival and departure were clear. A special thank you to Susan, who was accessible and great to work with when we needed help with cable TV and outside grill issues! Two suggestions to the owner would be to upgrade the furniture in the living area and purchase a new outdoor grill and fire pit cover. Thanks!

Quaint and well located

Bliss By The Sea is perfectly located between Pacific Grove and Monterey (Cannery Row), a short walk to both. The property is very homey, professionally managed and well apportioned. It was perfect for out stay, and we would recommend it anyone looking for similar.

Great house in a wonderful location

We thought the house was great and met our needs. The kitchen was well equipped. The house had great instructions for the electronics and had lights labeled. The beds were very comfortable. It was unseasonably hot when we arrived and the house was 82 degrees. It would have been nice to know from the property manager that it didnt have AC. Once we found out the next day we realized that we needed to sleep with the windows open which is fine but there were no screens so some bugs made it into the house. Sanctuary said our Property Manager would get us some temporary screens but that did not occur and we never heard from him. It cooled off by Wed so it was fine. We did love the house but would have appreciated some communication from the Property Manager

The house is very clean, well-maintained, and very well stocked. Great location, close to the aquarium and other attractions. The decor is also very attractive. It's clear that the management pays attention to details. Definitely the best rental we've ever stayed at.

Great stay, centrally located!

We enjoyed our stay at Bliss by the Sea! The house was immaculate, very nicely decorated, and well stocked with linens and all the amenities we would need for our family of four. The location was perfect with an easy drive to Carmel and Monterey areas. One suggestion might be to add two accent chairs in the master bedroom. It would be nice to have a place to sit other than on the bed while enjoying the views. The only negative comments we have is the sofa and two chairs in the living room were not comfortable for our family. We are of average height & weight - there wasn't much cushion or a place to lean back. Also there was dog poop in the backyard that had not been cleaned up prior to our arrival and there were large spider webs on the deck. This didn't affect our stay much as it was too chilly to sit outside. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals were top notch and easy to work with. The house manager made sure our needs were met and even followed up with an email and text message. Would definitely recommend this property and we will be returning next year!
