About this house rental
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Avalon by the Sea”! Sleeps up to 4 adults & 2 children age 12 or under.
This sunny home is located in Del Rey Oaks, a quiet bedroom community within 10 minutes of Carmel, Monterey and other major Monterey Peninsula attractions. If you're a tennis aficionado, courts are within walking distance.
The 2,100 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath plus den is faced in sand-colored Carmel stone and sits up on a rise that offers an elevated position over other homes in the neighborhood. A terraced front garden is planted with drought-tolerant flowering plants.
Prints of birds and botanicals and a crisp lime-green and white color scheme bring nature indoors in this immaculate home that features a spacious great room, high beamed ceilings and hardwood floors.
A small entryway opens to the sunken living room with a massive Carmel stone fireplace, white leather couches and light pouring in through large arched windows on either side of the fireplace. One wall holds numerous prints of birds, plants and flowers, establishing a theme that repeats throughout the house. You'll love sitting in this room and playing games or watching movies on the 36” flat-screened TV tucked away in a wooden amoire.
Slightly elevated and completely open to the living room is the dining room with an off-white caned breakfront cabinet holding glassware and an table with cane-backed chairs that can seat up to 6.
The dining room is contiguous with a chef's dream-come-true kitchen - an absolute stunner with golden granite surfaces, pine cabinetry and a carefully conceived floor plan. At the perimeter is a bar with stool-seating for 4 for casual meals or conversing with the cook. The main work area revolves around a large island containing sinks, a built-in stove top and a stainless steel dishwasher. There is also a stainless steel oven and microwave and a large refrigerator faced with pine. Everything you could think of for preparing and serving memorable gourmet meals is here, including a selection of cookbooks.
Brew your morning coffee and exit from the kitchen with your cup of java to an enclosed patio with a couch, chairs and a table.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 is spacious and has a sophisticated French feel with a cool robin's-egg-blue and white palette, broad-striped wallpaper, wall to wall white rug, filmy white draperies, a white-caned dresser, mirror and end tables, and a white wrought-iron king bed with luxurious linens. There is a small private deck with a lounge chaise for sunbathing or reading a book. A small seating area in the master includes a white sofa and an arm chair.
Bathroom #1 is en suite to Bedroom #1 and has deep spa tub with jets, a separate shower and his-and-hers sinks.
Bedroom #2 in a soft buttery yellow has a white wrought-iron queen bed with bird-themed coverlet and white end tables.
Relax with a book in a third room, that could be used as an office or optional Bedroom #3, with a sofa that converts to a full/double bed to sleep 1-2 children. There is no closet in this room.
The hall bath with a shower has a spa feel with its taupe and beige tiling.
This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

Excellent home. Over the top. Great neighborhood. Owners have thought of EVERYTHING!! We use VRBO often all over the US including Hawaii. This unit was tied with a unit we stayed at on Maui and in Whitefish MT. Prices comparable and units so well thought out.

Very clean, spacious, and well appointed. Three of us spent 3 nights here on a trip to explore the peninsula. We cooked dinner each night and enjoyed the gourmet kitchen and comfortable living and dining rooms. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. We would recommend it to others!

Spotlessly clean, professionally decorated, well-stocked, comfy beds and seating areas.The driveway is deceptively steep and one of our guests fell as he got out of his car. Garage not available. No view. but handy to drive places.

Everything about this house was perfect for the four of us! We celebrated a birthday and retirement royally! This home was 10-15 min away from everything we wanted to see....Carmel, PG, the Wharf, Pebble Beach.
It was immaculate and had more than anyone could need! We especially enjoyed the fireplace each night....even though it was in the 70's in the day:)
Thank you so much for making our stay special in every way!!!
(an added bonus could be a firepit on the patio:)
We sure hope to be back!!!

The house was perfect for our group. It was well maintained and had all the comforts of home. Nice quiet neighborhood. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space. We needed to be at Laguna Seca everyday and it was an easy/quick trip from the house to either entrance. One person in our party needed to work from the house one day, she comfortably set up at the dining table and said it was quite pleasant with the windows open. We were there during the one week of the year that you probably want A/C but were were able to quickly cool the house opening the windows and getting a cross breeze. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the house for one day with my wife and two young boys (ages7/8). The house was a good size for a small family and was clean in a quiet neighborhood close to a park. The only issue we ran into was when finally got to the house after spending all day at the Aquarium @ around 430( check in was at 4) the housekeepers were still cleaning the house and we could not access the house til 530. So having to wait in the car for an hour with two tired children is not what I would call a weekend retreat. So I wasn’t happy spending $900 for one and still having to put up with this inconvenience. I did email the vacation rental company when this occurred and got no response.

My wife and I and our 3 children (all in their 20s) stayed for 5 nights. The home has a well appointed kitchen, large master suite and relaxing back patio. You can tell the owner really cares for the property and has an eye for decorating. It was a great place to unwind after several days in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks for a little beach time. We would stay again!
5.0
We do a lot of day trips to Monterrey. Sometimes we stay at a hotel. This time we went with this house. The house is centrally located but extremely quiet and ideal for a family or quiet working trip. It is well appointed and very clean. I highly recommend this location and only wish we had added a day or 2 because it was such a peaceful place.
5.0
This home is beautifully decorated, and the furnishing are all high quality with the touch of an interior designer. It was such a comfortable and relaxing home to stay in. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen was there. The appliances were new, bathrooms were amazing. The entire home looked like it was recently renovated with high end everything! We were so close to everyplace we went. LOVED this home. We wished the 3rd room had a trundle with actually beds mattresses instead of futon sofa. We double up in the master as the futon wasn't comfortable for any of us ladies.

Such a beautiful property. It fits our family needs perfectly. I don’t think we spent more than 15 min in the car to go anywhere we needed to go (wharf, aquarium, beach, wedding in Carmel, restaurants) the home was so quite and relaxing. Perfect size backyard to relax and let our little ones play. It was the most complete kitchen we have ever had at a rental and highly recommend staying here as we anticipate a return for ourselves.

Reviewer Comments:
This property is very beautifully build. As we walked in the interior it immediately felt comfortable, luxurious and welcoming, just what we really wanted. There were only few down sides. Random paper tissues on the bed in the smaller room. The office room has water heater in the closet which made noise periodically. We could not use that closet as there is no space. Also,it took me nearly half an hour to locate the bedding for that room and even then we were missing pillows. Another disappointment was the company's inability to stand behind their words when they say there is a crib and a high chair,which I requested at the time of booking, and could not provide either one. The company charging a cleaning fee, but requested to do several chores at the check out and expects guests to leave promptly by 10:00am. This makes things a little stressful at the end. We also had internet loose connection a few times.

This home was beautiful and absolutely perfect for our stay while in Carmel for our daughters wedding! We loved every beautiful detail. It was immaculate. The master suite was so lovely and picturesque. The perfect place for her to put on her wedding dress 💕 The kitchen had every amenity. The yard was lovely. We hated to leave this beautiful home and will definitely stay there again.

We just left our rental Avalon-by-the-sea and we were so sad to leave. What a marvelous home. Spotless, beautifully decorated with many wonderful features and extras. The most stocked kitchen I have ever seen. Our family really appreciated every cooking gadget you can think of, except a coffee grinder. Beautiful space for a family or intimate gathering. We will definitely be back.

Del Ray Oaks is a beautiful property, very clean and gorgeously decorated.
The master suite is luxurious with a beautiful bathroom and large walk-in closet.
The location is very convenient to Monterey and Carmel.
The management communicated well.
The reason I am not giving the property 5 stars is the misleading description of the 3rd bedroom. The couch does not convert to a queen- size bed suitable for 2 children. Perhaps this is a California thing but to me a
