About this house rental

Summary:

Carmel Nirvana is private with great canyon views, close to World Class Golf, Shopping, Restaurants, and Spas. Walking distance to Carmel- by the -Sea. Less them 1.5 miles walking to Carmel Beach. Beautifully updated home, lots of outdoor space to enjoy beautiful canyon. This roomy 2800 square foot is located on a wooded hillside overlooking Carmel’s Hatton Canyon. This four (4) bedroom home with three (3) full baths has been modernized from top to bottom. Visitors are invited and welcomed in by the spacious open floor plan. With high vaulted ceilings, skylights and floor to ceiling windows provide an abundance of light and exquisite forest views throughout the house.



The Space:

Welcome to “Nirvana.”



Those seeking bliss in Carmel-by-the-Sea will find it here at “Nirvana,” a spacious and tranquil property that encourages private communion with the great outdoors and quality time shared with loved ones. This home is only 1.5 miles from Carmel Beach – well within easy reach of your favorite downtown restaurants, tasting rooms, and designer boutiques – yet it sits far back from the street on an oversized hillside lot, so there’s nothing to detract from the dreamlike sense of sun-dappled stillness and remoteness that suffuses the special atmosphere. Enter “Nirvana” via a descending driveway, and listen to bubbling fountains and soft breezes playing in the mature oak trees overhead. Sunlight filters through the leaves, gleaming on the surface of the hot tub’s soothing waters. Imagine the cool evenings you’ll spend here, studying the changing colors of each sweet pea sunset, talking with your companions, and watching other members of your group play at the basketball hoop. Take a meandering path down the sloped hill on the property. Carmel’s Hatton Canyon unfolds immediately before you. Breathe in the scent of forest, and watch Red-tailed Hawks circling in the afternoon sky. Continue your reverie on one of two wraparound decks – one on the lower level, and one on the upper level – where you’ll encounter dramatic canyon and mountain vistas around every turn. You’ll feel like you’re in a treehouse as you lean against the wooden railing and look out at miles of towering conifers, golden grasses, and twisting branches draped in Spanish moss. Inside, “Nirvana” is an energetic, modern property – an entertainer’s paradise with amusements in every room. A red pool table welcomes you upon entering, and it’s natural to imagine this space alive and pulsating with the movement and conversation of your friends. At night, while the stars shine brilliantly over the Santa Lucia Mountains and some members of your group are still talking quietly by the outdoor fire pit, others decide to let the party continue inside. Turn on both Smart TVs – one in the main living room, and one mounted on the wall above the pool table – choose your preferred board game, mix your favorite drink, and laugh the night away in this warm, open concept space. Beyond the pool table, a wall of sliding glass windows lends an outdoor backdrop to the living room, in which a massive sectional sofa and plush reclining chairs encircle a fireplace and TV. Adjacent to this space, an elegant dining table gives way to a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertops and state-of-the-art appliances. Retire to one of four (4) deluxe bedrooms – two on the main level, and two downstairs. The primary suite is on the main level and, along with the two downstairs bedrooms, enjoys direct deck access. Wake up clad in buttery soft linens as the light plays across your king-size bed. Take a step into the fresh woodsy air, relishing a few private moments in the early morning sunlight and dreaming up endless possibilities for the day in front of you. Take a leisurely stroll into downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea for your daily coffee, or enjoy a light jog along Carmel Beach. Later, indulge in a treatment at The Spa at Pebble Beach, or hike one of the scenic trails at Point Lobos. Accessing Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel Valley, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, or Carmel is easy when you’re based at “Nirvana.” And when you’ve finished your explorations for the day, come back and behold exquisite canyon views from almost every room at this 2800 square foot property. Bask in the natural light streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, and pour a glass of wine to savor as you gaze out into eternity. You have found your “Nirvana.”



The updated kitchen features granite countertops, state of the art gas oven and range and large refrigerator. The kitchen is fully stocked with complete dinnerware, serving ware, utensils and all the appliances needed to entertain guests an elegant dinner. A sumptuous Master Suite is located on the main level, complimented with a King Bed, two (2) large closets and large sliding doors that open to the expansive upper deck. The deck provides guests with panoramic views of Hatton Canyon and the Santa Lucia mountains. Also on the main level, a second bedroom with a King Bed that may be converted into two twins and an additional full bath. The homes lower level also provides a separate entrance, and offers guests two (2) bedrooms with one full bath, an additional living area, large laundry room and second wrap around deck! The lower level bedrooms are accoutered with a Queen bed in one room and a King Bed that may be converted into two Twins in the other. Sleeps up to eight (8) adults + two (2) additional children.

Property was as advertised. Everything was clean and worked properly. The host offers some amenities that were a nice touch (coffee, wine, chocolate, nuts, etc.). Check in and communication with host was efficient and clear. We asked get into property to drop bags and put cold in fridge and host was helpful in making that happen. Great trip.
