Villa by the Sea is a comfortable 3-bedroom home that is one short block from the sea, walking distance to the Aquarium and Cannery Row, and also close to downtown Pacific Grove (very cute) and the entrance to the 17-Mile Drive. The kitchen was well-appointed, beds were comfortable, hot water was instant. The only negative is that we found the property to be expensive to rent. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the property management company Sanctuary Vacation Rentals.
