About this house rental
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Mabuhay"! This 2-level, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom vacation home sleeps up to 6 guests.
Guests will enjoy peeks of the ocean over the treetops from multiple rooms in the home.
Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac and tucked inside a shared, gated driveway, this charming 1,849 sf home has it all.
Nestled near Pescadero Canyon, Mabuhay is perfectly located in Carmel - where you can walk about 5 blocks to get to Ocean Avenue and all the downtown Carmel by the Sea shops and restaurants. And just a 15 minute drive will get you to historic old Monterey, Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Living Spaces
The cozy living room has a wood burning fireplace, a comfortable sofa and two upholstered arm chairs in addition to shelves filled with a library of books. An Apple TV provides programming on the flat screen TV (no cable). A dining table and a separate desk provide surfaces for multiple activities.
Kitchen and Dining
The fully-equipped kitchen is full of light and set up for efficiency. Small appliances include a microwave, drip coffee maker, Keurig single-cup coffee maker, blender, toaster and a small food processor.
The dining table is in the living space near the fireplace and you can catch peeks of the ocean while you dine.
A set of chairs and table outside on the brick patio just outside the kitchen is another great space to enjoy meals together.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Upstairs on the main level with the living areas, Bedroom #1 has a queen bed and direct access to the upstairs bathroom with a shower-over-tub. The large closet has a separate vanity sink. The upstairs bathroom is also accessible from the hallway.
Go down the circular staircase to find two more bedrooms:
Bedroom #2 has a queen bed and a small seating area.
Bedroom #3 has a queen bed and a solarium space which brings in ample sunlight, garden views and access to the garden. A corner with an armchair, ottoman and lamp is a perfect place to kick up your feet and catch up on some reading.
The downstairs hallway bathroom has a shower-over-tub adorned with pretty blue tiles.
Downstairs you will find a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer and access to the back yard. Conveniences like an iron, ironing board and even an pack n play will have you feeling at home in an instant.
The yard is terraced and a path wraps around the home. A brick terraced patio outside the kitchen has outdoor furniture and if you climb up to the topmost terrace, you can sit on a bench and enjoy sunset views. The yard is fully fenced and the driveway has a metal gate that swings open and closed.
Sorry, Mabuhay does not allow pets.

Reviewer Comments:
We had three active generation in the home (teens, 60s, 80s). One mornings women from all three generation walked to Carmel beach for a safe, fun and exilarating sunrise swim. After fun on the beach, we walked to Carmel Bakery on Ocean Ave to buy pasteries for breakfast back at our comfortable home with an ocean view from the deck table where we ate most of our meals. Nobody wanted to leave. I selected the rental home for its walkability, so my 15/16 yo girls could have time on their own to explore the beauty and magic if Carmel. Walkability for active walkers is perfect. I thought i was making a compromise on the house to get the walking access I wanted, but it was not a compromise. Loved it!

Reviewer Comments:
The property was very clean, well-maintained, and well-appointed. One drawback upon entering was a musty odor, possibly due to the damp climate. Upon our arrival, there was a bottle of Talbott wine, which was excellent, and some cheese and crackers.Surprisingly, the spiral staircase was easy to navigate, as it had a nice railing and did not have a tight turning radius. One of the rooms downstairs has a solarium, which does not provide much privacy but a great amount of natural light.We did not rent a car for our stay but took Ubers everywhere. The only drawback to taking Ubers is the gate and hairpin turn to the property, which was mentioned in the rental Advertisement. You had to make a note on the Uber app to tell them about the gate and hairpin turn. It is walkable to the town but not super convenient unless you are mobile and can walk up and down hills.You can see the ocean from the patio, which was awesome, even when the fog rolled in, which was cool, too.Overall, we were very satisfied with this rental.

Great location, comfortable home with great outdoor areas. Only issue is seating is for 4 and with 3 bedrooms, you'd expect seating for 6.

Great place for couples to stay but not great for small children under 3yo.
Steep stairs…

Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed this property. Everything was exactly as described in the listing. Being able to park the Yukon XL at the house and walk into Carmel was a dream. Will happily rent this property again for any future Carmel stays.
5.0 / 5.0
Great location. Our family had a great stay. We would stay here again. It is very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. This is an older house with charm and quirks that come with it - water pressure in the showers was less than ideal and driveway can be a little tricky backing out, but did not mind it.
We loved being able to walk to the beach and shops through the beautiful neighborhood. Super safe and private location at the end of a street.
