The village of Carmel-by-the-Sea charms visitors with forested streets and the old English inspired architecture of Hugh Comstock that looks as if it would be at home in the pages of a Fairy Tale. Carmel City Beach is famous for its beautiful white-sand, dog-friendly beach and surfing. The performing arts are alive and well, with concerts and plays at the Golden Bough Theatre, Sunset Center and outdoor Forest Theatre. Dare we mention the hundreds of shops, art galleries and restaurants? The historic Carmel Mission offers daily tours. Point Lobos State Park, offers miles of hiking trails. It’s rich underwater habitat is often referred to as the crown jewel of the State Park system.

A dozen or so local winery tasting rooms are clustered here within walking distance of each other. Garland Ranch Regional Park offers dozens of miles of dog friendly hiking and equestrian trails.

Other Things to Note:
We cordially invite you to come and feel awestruck at “Sea Struck” in Carmel. Here atop your own private perch on a quiet hill just minutes from the vibrant life of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, you’ll be enraptured by the dazzling show of pinks, oranges, yellows, and periwinkles playing in the big sky right outside your window and reflecting onto the vast expanse of ocean stretching from Point Lobos across Carmel Point all the way to Pebble Beach.

Sitting facing two massive corner windows in the high-ceilinged living room, listening to the crackling of the fire in the wood-burning fireplace, you’ll be asking yourself how it’s possible that the horizon looks so shockingly – impossibly – close. These are once-in-a-lifetime sights that must be personally witnessed to be fully understood, and “Sea Struck” generously presents them from multiple vantage points both inside and outside. Grab a pair of binoculars. What – or who – else can you spot out there? A humpback whale breaching? A pod of orcas or Risso’s dolphins? Each season brings new wildlife to the waters off the Monterey Peninsula, so you never know what surprises await.

The single-level, revival style home is just a few minutes off California Highway 1, yet its hilltop position ensures total peace and tranquility – a sense of being “away from it all” even as you are, in fact, conveniently within a few minutes’ reach of world-class shopping, dining, golfing, and sightseeing in Carmel and Pebble Beach.

With a 1900-square foot main house and an independent 500-square foot guest apartment, there’s plenty of space here for your entire group to enjoy the views and the eclectic, artsy ambiance. You’ll love the vintage kitchen, where retro charm meets contemporary amenities, and you’ll have everything you need to prepare gourmet meals to enjoy in the adjacent dining room as you gaze out at the seascape.

After dinner, pull open the French doors connecting the dining room with a spacious outdoor patio area, where you’ll find yourself happily “struck” again by more of those panoramic ocean vistas in addition to views of Carmel Valley and the Santa Lucia Mountains.

Welcome home to “Sea Struck.”

Absolutely Perfect!!

All four of us were so sad to leave this beautiful gem.The location is an easy 5 minute drive to the town of Carmel and only 10 minutes to Monterey. This beautiful house is located up high on the hills surrounding Carmel. It is overlooking a beautiful, green valley to the south and the stunning ocean coast to the east. The views are outstanding, inside and out. The house has 2 outdoor seating areas that are surrounded by many trees and colourful, vibrant gardens. The gardens make the home feel cozy and private. There is also the ability to fence in the back patio, so our furry friends were safe and able to enjoy a little outdoor freedom.The house itself is a bit dated, but that is part of its charm. It is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped, we wanted for nothing. The furniture is very comfortable and there are lots of sitting areas for everyone. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, well equipped and the beds were super comfortable. We all had great nights sleep, which is rare when traveling.The laundry room was clean, bright and came in handy.We would totally recommend this rental to friends and family. We loved everything from the location, comfort and views,to golfing, touring, dining out and enjoying a spa day. Cheers and thank you,The Owen Family

Communication issues

The only difficulty occurred when one of our party suffered a severe injury about three weeks before our original arrival date in September. It took at least 15 emails and text to get a hold of the property manager and get our dates changed. Unfortunately, they were mostly noncommunicative for days at a time. Once we finally got the date changed, communication was fine, and the property is spectacular.

Beautiful house in a great location

Great location - close to many major attractions. Lots of beautiful art in the house and nice views of the ocean on a clear day. The decorated Christmas tree in the house was a nice touch for the holidays!

Christmas Vacation

We hosted our two kids and their spouses (and one 3.5 year old) over the holiday break. We loved the house and apartment over the garage (which is where we slept). The location was absolutely perfect--close enough to downtown, but not in the fray of day-trippers. Stunning views of the ocean. We had rain, fog, and sunshine over our 5-day stay and loved the changing seascape. All of us walked into town and back once, but drove the other times, as the hill is a challenge for a toddler (even with a stroller--but it can be managed and is worth the effort). We really appreciated having a decorated Christmas tree awating us, logs for the fireplace, and all the fixings to makes S'more over the fire pit. Thanks so much. We had a great time.

Grea location

Beautiful view and quiet. Good location for get together for 3 couples. Each bedroom like a master. Home is older. Generous with supplies. Property management was bit disorganized. Recommend using remote locks like most VRBOs to make check in and checkout more convenient. Would stay again.

Chill Weekend

Went for our daughter’s 30th. Just a quiet long weekend with our grown kids and dog. Such a nice vibe with all the art! Good location to town. Only down side was our dog getting poisoned either by something around the area or down along Cannery Row but luckily he was ok after several hours.

We had a wonderful stay at Sea-Struck. The views were spectacular, the kitchen was well stocked and perfect for our group, and the bedrooms were beyond comfortable. It was a great location for our family get away. And the host was very responsive and flexible, even calling the day before to walk through the check-in process and making a point of letting us know that the house would be available earlier than expected.

Relaxing getaway

Everything about our experience was A+. Marco was friendly and very helpful during our check in process. A lot of care was put in to making the house feel very welcoming. The kitchen had everything you might need. There is a nice view and the side patio is perfect for relaxing. The house is also very pet friendly and they provide a way to close off the side patio to keep your dog safe. We would stay here again anytime.

Beautiful water view.

Could not use garage. Upstairs difficult to get into. Slow response for assistance. Bedsheets were dirty. Lots of bugs flying around. 10am is a ridiculous time for check out when check in is 4pm. Our beach rental is similar in size and it does not take 6 hours to turn it around. Communication with the office was slow and at times unresponsive. View is beautiful. No air condition. Fan does not work well. Great neighborhood. Close to town.

Best place EVER

This house was absolutely perfect for our family. With a separate room above garage with a queen bed, bathroom, kitchen and small couch and tv, its all we needed to let our young adult children sleep in. We would enioy our coffee in the morning and wine at night. The view was amazing and close enough to town to walk. The house had enough blankets, pillows, kitchen supplies, etc. I loved this place and would definitely stay here again.
