About this house rental

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. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Downstairs, tucked away from the living areas and other bedrooms is Bedroom #1, a large bedroom suite that has a 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.

Bedroom #3 - 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 in the driveway; additional street parking 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 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: Serenbe was wonderful! We loved the location but warning there is a very large hill that separates you from town. We had a stroller so this made it difficult but still doable. The house was great overall but the sofa in the family room NEEDS replacing. Feathers everywhere and doesn't keep shape at all. Also, as others have mentioned a cordless vacuum would be a HUGE help up stairs. The one provided is SO old and heavy and makes it hard to keep the floors clean. Last nit picky thing, the rugs are terrible. All of the rug pads are too large for the rugs and so they get bunched up under the rugs and get very annoying, it was a constant battle. We would love to stay here again one day but do hope they are able to iron out these issues.

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.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our overall vacation experience was good. 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.
