Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Sea Shell Guest Cottage"! Cottage sleeps up to 2 adults and 1 child.
Escape into a mini-fantasy world in this delightful 650-square-foot guest cottage situated in a quiet residential neighborhood just a one block stroll to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Refurbished in recent years, this fanciful one-bedroom, with its accouterments of mermaids, seashells, starfish and other undersea imagery, offers a perfect vacation respite for up to two adults or two adults and one small child. This is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, with its sunny, sand-sea-and-sky color scheme, whimsical objects d'art and sumptuous bath and bed linens.
The cottage is within walking distance of the remarkable selection of shops, boutiques galleries and restaurants in the village of Carmel. Bruno's Market, a gourmet grocery store that is a Carmel trademark, is just a few blocks away. Breathtaking white sand beaches skirted by the Monterey Peninsula's trademark Cypress trees are an ambitious but doable walk. In the car, you can be at Carmel Beach in a matter of a few minutes.
One open, airy room with a vaulted ceiling and skylights comprises the living, dining and kitchen areas. A clean, warm feeling is achieved with wood laminate flooring, a rattan throw rug, and white furnishings that impart a bright, sun-splashed look to the living room, which includes a flat-screen TV. The plush sofa is very comfortable and makes extra sleeping space available for a small child.
The kitchen has granite counter tops and glossy white cabinetry, as well as a small gas range, oven and full refrigerator (no dishwasher). A round white table with four chairs is provided for intimate dining. Well-equipped for extended stays!
Bedroom
You will sleep like a baby on the queen-sized bed with its Sealy Posturepedic extra-plush mattress and ultra soft, luxury linens.
The sofa in the living room converts to a full/double size sleeper for a child.
Bathroom
The beautiful bathroom, which is tiled throughout, features a granite counter top and step in shower.
A Dutch door in the bedroom leads to a private patio and garden filled with colorful plants that flourish all year round in Carmel's temperate Mediterranean climate. You can dine al fresco at a bistro table and chairs; a gas grill is provided for outdoor cooking.
Just across the street is a charming vest-pocket park as well as a city parking lot with EV (electric vehicle) chargers.
The cottage is situated in a completely enclosed and private area behind a main house - also available for rental -- that unit can accommodate up to 4 guests. You can book our 2 bedroom, 1 bath main house (see #3274 on the Sanctuary Vacation Rentals website for more information) separately or together with this guest cottage.
A stacking washer/dryer is accessible from the patio.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.
This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of our team and the homeowner. Extended stays are often possible.
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!
Located near the beach, this vacation home is in Northeast Carmel, a neighborhood in Carmel. Pebble Beach Golf Links and Fisherman's Wharf are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Carmel Beach and Monterey Bay. Check out an event or a game at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and consider making time for Monterey Bay Aquarium, a top attraction not to be missed. Take time off to check out the winery tours in the area, or get some fresh air with adventures like ecotours nearby.
