About this house rental

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Serenity in the Woods"! Sleeps up to 7 guests.

A wood-pole-construction home becomes one with the sky and native pine forest in Pebble Beach®, backed by greenbelt in a tranquil setting.

The 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin-like home designed by architect David Allen Smith has been featured in architectural books, Sunset Magazine, and the L.A. Times, and features floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows and skylights that face the Del Monte forest and allow natural light to flow through the entire house. The Homeowners have chosen to maximize the views by excluding window coverings throughout the home.

This 2,068-square-foot split-level home is designed to bring the outdoors inside, with decks off the main living area and the primary suite. The home incorporates both mid-century modernist styling and a rustic feel with its unique design featuring wood planks and poles.

The home features vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan and hardwood floors in the living spaces, and cozy bedrooms with built-in storage.

Despite feeling away from it all, it’s just a few minutes by car from the best that Pebble Beach® has to offer in dining, shopping, golf and other activities. It’s just 10 minutes by car to downtown Carmel, charming Pacific Grove, or popular attractions such as Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

The home offers a carport on the street level with a convenient entryway, making it easy to bring in groceries and other items. There is parking for two small vehicles in the carport and additional parking on the street.

Living Spaces
The living room features a TV mounted above the wood-burning fireplace surrounded by comfortable seats, an ideal setting for conversation, board games or reading a good book.

Kitchen and Dining
The galley-style kitchen has a distinct mid-century vibe and offers a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a combination microwave-convection oven, and a four-burner gas cooktop, in addition to custom-made wooden cabinetry, solid surface countertops and a double sink with a pull-out faucet.

The dining area has seating for five around a wooden table near the wall of windows that looks out at the trees. A long built-in buffet provides ample space for a bar area or for buffet-style meals. The deck also provides additional space for entertaining or enjoying the view.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
All the bedrooms also have expansive views of the nearby forest through floor-to-ceiling windows which are not encumbered with window coverings of any kind.

Bedroom #1 is located on the main/lower level and includes a king bed with wooden headboard, a private deck, an en suite bath with shower and built-in storage space.

Bedroom #2, also on the main level, has two extra long twin beds that can, alternatively, become a split king with foam topper as needed and an en suite full bathroom.

Bedroom #3, upstairs, has a queen bed and is next to the full hallway bath which has a combination tub/shower and pedestal sink.

Upstairs in a lofty mezzanine area is the media room with cozy seating, small library, queen sofa bed, and HDTV. This space cantilevers over the lower living space and has low, open walls that look down on the rooms below.

A stacked washer-dryer unit is located in a closet on the upper level.
There is also an exterior entrance from the upper level that exits onto the carport area.

The home is equipped with a Tesla power wall for backup power during area power outages.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum. Please note that the yard is not fenced.

The stay is not inclusive of the $12.25 per car, per day Gate Fee to be paid directly to the community of Pebble Beach®. Ask us for details.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay, and the house’s 1970s design created a unique, nostalgic atmosphere. The elevated setting gave it a tree-house feel.

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 had a fantastic time staying at the pebble beach rental! The house was beautiful and clean, had all the necessary amenities. Management was quick to respond (we had a little trouble getting the access key which management helped us quickly resolve over the phone). I do think it’s worth calling out there is a vehicle fee for the neighborhood that was not clearly spelled out in the vrbo listing but was not a big deal. Worth it to stay on the 17 mile drive!

Even though there are other homes nearby, it was really easy to feel like you were on your own in the woods with the design and orientation of the home. We felt very comfortable in the space. We felt like we had a good understanding about the additional fees at the entrance gate based off the listing. Thank you for having us!
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
Check in revealed we had one key for 7 guests, communication with Sanctuary regarding a grill was inaccurate, we were told there was a grill and bought steaks to enjoy a bday. Should be but there is no grill; very disappointing. Guests could save a lot of money by not having to purchase a daily 12.50 17- mile drive pass, but Sanctuary (according to the gate personnel) will not put your name down as guests. We know because there was another person in our party whose property did list them as a guest and their access was so much simpler. Also, laundry was not available to us, washer had supposedly been fixed but when we needed, it wouldn’t work, two days to fix. This should’ve been determined after the work was initially completed but naturally…anticipatory thinking falls short these days.
