About this house rental

Nestled in Carmel by the Sea, this lovely house for $282 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Serenbe"! Sleeps up to 8 guests. An enchanting Carmel-by-the-Sea cottage with terraced patios and garden areas. Fully renovated and enhanced in Old World style but with all the modern convenience, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a beautiful setting. This spacious property offers peace and privacy, yet is close to everything that is best about this area: a 5-minute walk to shopping and dining in downtown Carmel and to the Sunset Center; easy access to the beach, the Mission; and only a few minutes’ walk from the renowned outdoor Forest Theater, home of the annual Carmel Shakespeare Festival. 10 minutes by car to golf and sightseeing in Pebble Beach, vintage Victorian homes and monarch butterflies in Pacific Grove, historic Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and nearby wine tasting in Carmel Valley. A sophisticated rustic ambiance greets visitors entering the beautifully decorated 2,100-square-foot residence, with hardwood floors, rich plaster walls and high open-beam ceilings, and original photography and art. Renovated by acclaimed master builder Al Saroyan, no detail was overlooked - the home retains the cottage style charm that is characteristic of Carmel while adding quality craftsmanship, space and functionality. A mature garden frames the flagstone walkway to the front door, opening to the living room, which features luxurious velvet sectional seating around a gas fireplace with Carmel stone surround--the perfect place to gather for conversation, games or viewing the 50-inch HDTV. An adjacent dining area with seating for eight around a round wooden table looks out on the garden and patio outside. French doors from the family room open onto a brick patio with seating for four, a gas grill, along with a stunning outdoor fireplace--an ideal spot for afternoon barbecues or to enjoy an evening cocktail. The kitchen features tile countertops, alder wood cabinetry, a four-burner Viking gas range with hood, a deep sink with pull-out faucet, and counter seating for two. A sound system throughout the entire home is controlled from the pantry. The kitchen area opens into the family room, which also has a unique Carmel stone gas fireplace, 55-inch HDTV, comfortable seating, and access to a long back deck with a stairway leading to the beautifully landscaped fenced yard, with a magnolia tree, live oaks, and a patio with seating. Bedrooms and Bathrooms Downstairs, tucked away from the living areas and other bedrooms is Bedroom #1, a large bedroom suite that has an antique California king bed, garden view, en-suite bathroom and a door to the brick patio and garden. Upstairs, Bedroom #2 is another suite with a California king bed with an upholstered headboard and luxury bedding in tones of amethyst, dark gray and cream. The en suite bath has a shower with a built-in seat and steam option, and two stylish basin sinks. Bedroom #3 has a queen bed and is next to a hallway bathroom with a custom tiled tub/shower combination. A small room with a bay window at the front of the house can be used as either an office or Bedroom #4, with a desk and twin day bed. Also on the lower level is a wine cellar closet and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Parking for 1 vehicle is available in the driveway, with additional street parking available in front of the home. Well-behaved small dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was 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: We found the house very dark. it gets very little natural daylight, except very late in the aft. In just a few rooms. The result was it was always cool in the house and you have to run the heat too much. Downstairs bedroom gets NO heat. Laundry is in a wine room with no counter or place to hang clothes. Main BR mattress very lumpy and needs replacement. Second BR upstairs faces a wall so no light at all. Kitchen TV room sofa seats need filling. Kitch counter bar seats hard and uncomfortable. Plenty of hot water and kitchen fine. No comfortable seating outside to relax. Trees and growth need serious pruning to allow light.

What an incredibly comfortable house with a great location. Walking into town was a breeze (a very hilly breeze, but enjoyable none the less) and Mission Trail was just steps away for great dog hikes. For the pet crowd, the house is perfect for dogs with safely enclosed front and back yards. The house was spotless and very welcoming when we arrived. Kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooks, towels all matched, and linens were fresh and well-chosen. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals were so responsive to any problems we had and they are extremely organized with how-to instructions and pertinent information that made the stay so smooth. The house is just a gem, the neighborhood is almost spooky quiet, and the proximity to trails and town makes for such relaxing and fun stay. Hope to come again soon.

The house was walking distance to most all restaurants and the main activities in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The walk to the beach was longer but still doable. Our house was comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood with ease of travel by car to many points of interest.

We enjoyed the house and the location very much. We would definitely return. One thing to note, the property management company was very slow to respond to a few issues we had, however, eventually things were resolved. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful, very clean, nice kitchen. Location was too far and too many hills to walk into town. My mother and husband went home a week early. I could never get yard lights to work in side and back yard. Had to use a flashlight for my pup to do his business in gorgeous backyard at night. TV in living room has a line down the screen (maybe tv needs repair), no dust pan, or swifters. 1 vacuum that is downstairs, need additional one upstairs would be nice. Infinity cable was excellent, many channels, great fireplaces and bbq grill. It's like living in the forrest. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time - daily walks to the beach! Love the home and especially the fireplace - very cozy ! One comment - the neighbor - northside - was very very noisy - their garage door went up and down in the middle of the night - it woke everyone up - not good! We tried to reach them but no one answered the door - I rated location low bc of this noise

The layout was perfect for entertaining and still cozy and comfortable for my husband and I to curl up in front of the fire. We had a great month in Carmel-by-the-Sea and would recommend this home to our friends and family. We will consider renting it again in the future!

Perfect Carmel Getaway

Perfect Carmel Getaway

So many wonderful aspects to this rental- where to begin?! To start, Serenbe felt like coming home. It's charming, warm, picturesque and just all around lovely. The location is wonderful, quaint Carmel neighborhood, but minutes walking distance from a busting shopping and restaurant strip, and also walking distance to the gorgeous beach! The decor inside is so well done, you don't feel like you're in a vacation rental, you feel like you're in your own wonderful home away from home. The kitchen is really well stocked to cook in, which we did quite a few times, and also experienced some amazing restaurants in town. I really enjoyed all of the artwork and photography in this home, too, was unique/worldly and beautiful. Other features we enjoyed were two fireplaces inside the home and another fireplace in the private back area with a table and chairs that makes for a cozy and romantic setting for wine and apps or a meal, too. There were two of us here, but definitely seems large enough for multiple couples or families- honestly would love to go back with more people, also! On top of the fantastic home and amenities, the weather was great, and we really enjoyed all of the offerings the location had to offer. We did some hiking in Big Sur, wine tasting in Carmel Valley, massages and an entire day of relaxing at Refuge Day Spa, felt like locals in the downtown area on Main Street steps from the home, and really enjoyed simply walking the neighborhood to the beach, and little trails minutes from the home, too. Whoever owns this home, well done and thank you so much for the amazing stay. Memories for a lifetime.
