About this property

3817 Caledonia Bay Lookout - Perfect Family Retreat Near Bay, Park and Town

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Caledonia Bay Lookout”! This home sleeps up to 6 guests.

Explore the wonders of Pacific Grove from this “home away from home” that’s within easy walking distance of the beach, local parks and downtown dining and shopping.

The pet and family-friendly 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence is just steps away from spectacular Lovers Point, the Pacific Grove Natural History Museum and other local attractions, including Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links, Point Pinos Lighthouse and Asilomar State Beach.

Beautifully remodeled with modern conveniences and Americana designer touches throughout, the 2000-square-foot home is in the heart of Pacific Grove’s city park network, and is right across the street from Caledonia Park, which includes a tots’ play area, climbing equipment for older children and picnic tables.

Guests enter down several brick steps to the front door, which opens into a foyer that provides access to the first floor and the garage.
The three-level home provides plenty of space in which to gather or to find quiet, private time throughout the space.

Living Spaces
The main living areas are on the second level which features an open floor plan blending the family room, dining room and kitchen, ideal for gathering the whole family together.
The beautifully decorated living room with gas fireplace, local coastal artwork and seashell lamps has slip covered sofas and a 46-inch HDTV. This spacious room with lofted ceilings is a wonderful gathering space.
The family room offers a cozy seating area with a gas fireplace and comfortable upholstered furniture, adjacent to the wooden dining table with seating for 6 and a marble-topped bar area with beverage refrigerator. Doors from the family room lead to a balcony with a gas grill and outdoor seating, a perfect place to watch the sunset.

Kitchen
Between the living and family room spaces, the kitchen features Italian-made cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances that include a six-burner Wolf gas range, a farmhouse apron sink and marble counter-tops.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
On the third level, Bedroom #1 is a suite that includes a California king bed, a large closet, full-length mirror and an en suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a shaving mirror, a separate deep soaking tub, dual vessel sinks and custom tile work and peeks of the bay from upper-story windows. Please note that there is no door at the top of the stairs, so this bedroom is audibly open to the staircase and lower level.

Down on the first level you will find two bedrooms that each have doors that open onto a brick patio on the side of the home. These bedrooms share a hallway bath with a vessel sink and tub/shower combination with custom tile.
Bedroom #2 has a queen bed.
Bedroom #3 has a twin day bed with a twin trundle that can sleep 1-2.
A half-bath is located near the living areas on the second floor.

A laundry room with a stacked washer and dryer is available in the lower level hallway.

Front and back yards are landscaped with succulents, flowers and citrus trees.

The garage has space for one larger vehicle or two small vehicles, with additional parking available on the street. A ChargePoint Level 2 EV Charger is available for guest use. Bring your cable and adaptor.

Well-behaved 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!

Great location to explore all California has to offer

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home with lots of space in the common areas. Love that it is just a few minute walk to the waterfront. Shops, restaurants and the Aquarium are all just a few minutes walk away and Carmel and Monterey are all a short drive. Since it was rainy season, loved the two gas fireplaces as well!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Caledonia Bay Lookout was fantastic. The home was bright, comfortable and had everything needed for a wonderful stay in Pacific Grove. We walked everywhere: the shore path, local restaurants, and even the butterfly grove. We saw whales in the bay...amazing. Parking was easy (on the street) if you have a large car. As noted in the description -- there are (many) stairs in the lovely home. :>) The SVC team was wonderfully helpful in getting us a prompt replacement coffee pot when the one in the house broke. Superb!

Family Birthday Celebration

This trip was very special as we were celebrating our Mom's 80th birthday. As my parents love the California coast, Pacific Grove was the perfect place for this joyous time together. The house was just as we expected, we gathered together on the second floor where the kitchen and living space to share laughs over meals and watch our sports team. Another treat was the house was walking distance to several delicious restaurants that we enjoyed over our stay. We would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy the Monterey and Carmel area.

Wonderful Cottage for Monterey and Big Sur

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Caledonia Bay. Property was very spacious with a huge family room, good size kitchen and dining area, along with 3 ample bedrooms. It was well cleaned and stocked with necessary essentials. Location is close to perfect, about a 5 minute walk to the water and downtown. Big Sur, 17 mile drive, all close by The price point while a bit higher than other properties, is well worth it if you value size and location. If we find our way back to the Monterey we would strongly consider staying here again

Lovely place near Lovers Point and downtown PG

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: This is a spacious and quiet house in between Lover's Point and downtown Pacific Grove. The kitchen is well outfitted with lots of space and the bedrooms have comfortable beds. The living room has plenty of room for lounging in. The lovely little patio is too small for medium sized dogs to hang out in, so you can walk them over to a green space across the street.The hot water requires some adjustment in the upstairs bathroom, so you might have someone show you how.We loved the location and could just fit our van into the garage.

Great family home in Pacific Grove!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are traveling with our adult daughter and two teens and everyone loved the house. Two of the kids shared the twin with trundle bed and the other luxuriated in a queen bed and they all shared the downstairs bath,with only one fight due to half bath on 2nd floor. The 2nd floor was a really comfortable living room and a separate sitting room. Kitchen was central and we only cooked a few times but easy to use everything. Master was on top floor with a comfortable bed and soaking tub my husband said was great. The layout of the house encouraged interactions but also gave everyone space. Short walk to Lighthouse ave restaurants and shops and Lover’s point.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Caledonia Lookout - what a lovely home! Exactly as described, open and airy and amazing location! 2 short blocks to the fabulous downtown area with cafes and amazing restaurants, 2 even shorter blocks to Lover’s Point Cove and amazing walks on the bluff - sea otters everywhere! Highly recommended, can’t wait for our return visit

A Neighborhood Gem

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived at the Sanctuary Vacation Rental late at night and was pleasantly surprised that the house offers a private 2 car garage. Street parking is limited so immediately upon arrival, our stay became stress free. The house is centrally located, walking distance from the water and restaurants. However, a car is suggested to go to nearby Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey. The house is super clean and has all the amenities of home. The WiFi can be a bit spotty on the bottom and top floors but the main floor is fast and reliable. The grand room is spacious with a large-screen tv. The kitchen has all the appliances and cooking supplies you desire. There's a bbq on the patio but we didn't use it. FYI, we did contact the property management about the WiFi and they communicated immediately and offered to send a technician to address the issue but it wasn't that bad since we weren't home alot. I highly recommend this property and the customer service that goes along with the rental.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was in a great location with many restaurants and a local grocery and many shopping businesses in easy walking distance but still a private feeling to the home which overlooks a park. An entrance to 17 mile drive is close and it was about a mile to the Monterey bay aquarium with cannery row and 2 blocks to a wonderful beach and the lighthouse and monarch butterfly preserve is close.

Beautiful home in a beautiful town.

There were 5 of us that stayed in this beautiful home. We were participating in the Big Sur Marathon and this location and home worked perfectly. The location is walking distance to lover's point which is relaxing and beautiful with good restaurants. The main drag of lighthouse Ave with shops and restaurants is only two blocks up up from the house. Everything inside was clean, they left wine, cheese, and crackers, it was lovely. I had to contact them because we set off a smoke alarm with the steam from the shower and maintenance was fast and extremely helpful!! Overall, great stay and we would definitely come back!
