Zatara - Pacific Grove Beach House - Oceanfront Mediterranean

What could be lovelier than expansive glass patio doors opening to a wrap-around balcony overlooking Monterey Bay?
Designed for grand views of the sea, this custom Pacific Grove home includes three verandas with lounge chairs… and a private dining area for two. Romantic arched doorways frame tiled outdoor living spaces, and indoors, serene colors create an air of peace and tranquility.
One of our larger homes, Zatara sleeps up to twelve in five bedrooms (two kings, two queens and four twins) and 3-½ baths. The spacious open kitchen and extensive granite countertops are functional for both meal preparation and entertaining, and two dining tables plus bar stools provide ample seating. Your home-away-from-home includes three flat screen TVs with cable, two DVD players, TV with X-box game system, CD/digital alarm clocks in each room, and Internet access.
Leave the doors open to usher in cool sea breezes and whisk away the hassles of daily life. And if you can tear yourself away, head out on the coastal trail - you’re less than five minutes from Lover’s Point, Point Pinos Lighthouse, Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. One dog accepted with prior screening at https://monterey.petscreening.com
The vacation home features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This is a fabulous house and perfect for our family of 11 to celebrate our Mom's 85th birthday. The house is very nice, clean, well equipped and the ocean views are amazing! It's also a great location, especially if you like to go for walks along the ocean. I would definitely return to and highly recommend this house.

Wonderful, peaceful spot!

Our group had the most amazing time at this house and property. The house is lovely and the views are outstanding. The house is clean and big and exactly as stated on the listing. We had no qualms! We come to Monterey every December for a race my husband participates in at Laguna Seca and we would absolutely rent this house again for our crew!

Pacific grove stay during crisis

The property manager was great and very helpful. View is amazing and location is perfect. The garage parking is very difficult, so we could only park at the drive way. Need some better knifes for meat like steaks.

Perfect location!

This property was almost perfect in every way. It is just the right size for our family of 12. It is located right on the bay and the waves were awesome! The home is beautifully decorated, is very well equipped and is so very homey. If you need some space, there is little places you can go to get away from others. We absolutely loved it and have reserved it again for next year. Thank you for sharing your home!

Heavenly Zatara

A magical stay with our family: 5 grandchildren and 6 adults. The accommodations were convenient to walking, the beach...and "eating in" was a joy as the view was better than any you could find at even the finest restaurants! Only the 7 month old baby was left out of the "kids" bedroom which made going to bed a breeze because the cousins got to be together. We want to return next summer!!!

Paradise on the water

We sat at the dining table and watched dolphins and whales swim across the bay. We walked out of our front door and strolled along the coast....west to Asilomar and east to the aquarium and Cannery Row. The house was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for a big family Thanksgiving dinner. I can't say enough good things about the house. Our entire stay was a delight.

Great experience!

Great house! Monterey Bay management was great/easy to work with. House was as expected, clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable. Location and views were both outstanding. We stayed for three nights and managed to see whales, dolphins and seals right from the deck. I rented the house for myself and several people running the Big Sur Marathon. The layout worked well for our group - the open concept kitchen with deck overlooking the bay was perfect for a fun dinner in. I could live here!

Wonderful home for a family get together

This was definitely everyone's highlight of our 10 day vacation trip. Monterrey was beautiful, but this home was really the icing on the cake. The home was so spacious with absolutely breathtaking views. We were able to cook two meals at the home with no problems. We were 9 adults and had a lot more room to share. The location for key pick-up and drop off was located conveniently close by. The decor was lovely and the rooms were clean. Thank you and hope to be back!

Perfect house for a large family weekend

The house was beautiful and the location was perfect. We included Grandma and Grandpa, 3 grown kids and their spouses and 4 little granddaughters from 4-8 years of age. The view from the living room, kitchen and decks could not be beat. The kitchen was very well equipped and we even used the BarBQ one night. We loved having all 3 fireplaces for the warmth and coziness in the evenings. We could walk to town and the aquarium and Lover's Point was a nice spot for a drink overlooking the beach. We will return.

Amazing view!

Zatara is an amazing vacation home with quite the view. Nothing like getting up in the morning, making a cup of coffee and watching the sea otters float in the ocean right outside your door! Make sure to bring a pair of binoculars! The house was very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. It's a little "well loved" and could probably use some minor maintenance (light bulbs out, etc.) but nothing that affected our vacation.

Our extended family stayed in this home while visiting Monterey for Grandma's 92nd birthday. This home was super clean, beautiful and comfortable for our family of 10 with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The Property Managers were quick on the scene when we had issues with the cable TV. Kitchen was well equipped, there was nice seating areas indoors and on the deck and patio with magnificent views. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and the beds were comfortable. I highly recommend this home and look forward to renting it again next summer!

A Wonderful Class Reunion

We organized a middle school class reunion at Pacific Grove. We rented Zatara, Bellisima, and Chateau Sandy Toes to house twenty around seventy-five-year-olds and use Zatara as the base. We had a wonderful time. All three houses are spacious, clean and beautiful. The beds are comfortable. Not to mention that Michelle and Sandy are so helpful that they even mail the items we left behind back to us. Thanks for the memory.

Great Views!

The Zatara house was a great house for our family when my daughter got married in Carmel last weekend. It was especially helpful on the morning of the wedding when the bridesmaids came over to have their hair and makeup done. There was enough room for the girls, the hair/makeup artists, and the photographers with lots of natural light and beautiful views. Other than some minor plumbing problems, everything else went very smoothly. The house was well stocked, the beds comfortable and the views of the ocean were priceless.

Perfect house for our large family weekend

The house was beautiful and the view could not be beat overlooking the ocean. The kitchen was well equipped which came in handy with 12 of us and the BarBQ worked well and it was nicely located right next to the kitchen door. Location was wonderful, as we could walk downtown, walk along the beach paths, or just walk to Lover's Point for a cocktail overlooking the beach. We all enjoyed having all 3 fireplaces for added coziness and warmth during the evenings. Other than the bathrooms being a bit outdated and having a few minor maintenance issues, we loved the house. We will be back.

Our family of 10 (7 adults, 3 kids + 1 dog) had the pleasure of staying at Zatara for a family vacation this year. We had the most amazing experience. The house was extremely accommodating and we all were extremely comfortable. Can't say enough about how well equipped this house is; from all the amazing appliances in the kitchen to all the gadgets and games for the kids. It was a wonderful vacation and I can't thank Monterey Bay Rentals enough for all their customer service in making long lasting memories for myself and my family. Thank you

Check in

When checking in our key was not available as per directions said would be and only the maintenance answered our call and was out of town. After a little over an hour the managers boss got us the key. However It was a holiday and the office was closed. After that small inconvenience the house met our expectations.
