About this property

Serenity: Beautiful 3 bed w / Hot Tub & Powerwall

Summary:
Welcome to “Serenity by the Sea” in Carmel, California.

There’s only one Carmel-by-the-Sea, and its magic is undeniable. Vogue called it the “West Coast destination of the moment” in 2023, and Travel & Leisure rated it the “#3 Best City for Romance in the World.”

Nowhere will you find this legacy of beauty and excellence more fully embodied than at “Serenity by the Sea."

The Space:
This two-story dwelling exudes charm from the moment you drive up and see a long dark-brown railing fronting a balcony that runs the entire length of the second floor. The home’s façade is a sandy beige with mossy green accents. You’ll enter “Serenity by the Sea” through a door on the ground level into an open space, where, for a split second, an exhilarating wave of color will consume your field of vision from one of the bedrooms in front of you. Then you’ll feel compelled to look upward at the ceiling towering above both stories. Light shines down upon you from a window far above.

Once upstairs, find yourself in an inviting living room with a vaulted white wood ceiling and rich hardwood floors supporting two leather easy chairs and a plush sectional sofa. Imagine the nights you’ll spend here with your friends and family, curled up on the couch as the fire flickers in front of you and a favorite film plays on the flat screen Smart TV above the fireplace. Grab a book or a game from the built-in bookshelf behind you, or take in some fresh air on the back balcony overlooking your private garden sanctuary.

The living room flows easily into a formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows that grant more garden views to those gathered for a meal. The adjacent chef’s kitchen is a masterwork of rich, creamy hardwood cabinetry, sage-colored countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances, including a Wolf oven and gas range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Pass through the kitchen to find an informal dining table in front of a window – the perfect spot to savor a hearty breakfast or your morning coffee. Alternatively, take your coffee out to the front balcony – the long one you saw upon your arrival at "Serenity by the Sea." It’s dotted with red geraniums, and it features a little table with a few chairs for you to sit in quiet contemplation of the splendor around you.

The primary bedroom suite is on the second floor. It offers an ensuite bathroom and private balcony access. The remaining bedrooms are downstairs on the ground level. Remember that wave of color we mentioned earlier? The particular bedroom in question opens onto a thriving fairytale garden awash in brilliant light and dizzying impressions of green and fuchsia. Secluded in this enclosed, fully private space alive with the beauty of nature, hear nothing except the soft trickling of a fountain, the chirping of birds, and ocean breezes playing in the trees overhead.

As others in your group warm themselves by the fire pit, sink down into the soothing hot waters of a spa tub surrounded by wild foliage. When you chose to visit Carmel-by-the-Sea, perhaps you thought it would offer an escape from the ordinary. And, in a sense, you were right. But what you realize now, sitting amidst the succulents at “Serenity by the Sea,” is that, here on the Monterey Peninsula, the extraordinary is – quite splendidly – ordinary.

The Neighborhood:
Coast Estate invites you to experience the beautiful Monterey Peninsula and California Central Coast. The are is world renown for spectacular coastlines, unique coastal communities, and rich marine life. Coast Estate specializes in Luxury Vacation Rentals in Big Sur, Carmel, Carmel Highlands, Carmel Valley, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Monterey and Seaside.

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.

Should you travel twelve miles inland on Carmel Valley Road, you will arrive at the charming, provincial Carmel Valley Village. The sun always shines here, and Carmel Valley Village is home to a handful of excellent bistro-style restaurants that offer outdoor dining. 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.

Comforts of Carmel

My family and I had a fantastic weekend in Carmel, and this was a perfect home for 3 couples. The accommodations were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with special amenities (s'mores kit, bottle of wine, chocolates) that were a nice touch. Excellent location near the Crossroads, Carmel Valley and downtown Carmel. Check in was so smooth and we were allowed to check in early which was very nice. We will return again.

Wonderful

very clean and well stocked. Loved that there were games for adults and kids and a few toys as well as some beach gear. very comfy beds and the hot tub was also super clean. The description of this property said 1 bathroom but there were actually 3 - two of which are attached to the master bedroom. I only rated the check in process low because you have to pick up a key at another location first, but the communication was really terrific.

Great Base for Carmel/Monterey Trip

The house was great for our family stay + pup. We had visitors from OH and wanted to spend a weekend on the Monterey Peninsula, and the location was a perfect base from which to go whale watching, visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium and hang out on the Carmel State Beach. The house was very comfortable, and the yard was enjoyed by all. The hot tub was a big hit. There were also really nice amenities like popcorn and biscotti.

Upscale Comfort

The most amenities ever at a rental!! There were more thoughtful provisions than I have ever seen at a rental property. The home was convenient and spacious. Nice layout for 3 couples. Beautiful details inside and out. Loved having air conditioning as it is hard to find in this area. The house was even better in person. We appreciated the ample amount of towels and beach towels, coffee, condiments.

Second trip to stay in this house for us. My wife had to work remotely and used the office space downstairs, very convenient. TV conveniently set up to allow for an AppleTV or Roku hookup. if you want to bring your personal tv viewing with you. Cooked multiple nights using pans/bbq provided at the house.Beds were big and comfortable. We had a great time. Thanks

This property should be convenient for a small group of adults. Stairs could be a safety hazard for young children and older adults. It served our purposes well.

Amazing stay!

I stayed at Serenity By the Sea with friends and we had such an amazing, relaxing, worry-free stay. The house is so clean and has every amenity you will need. The bedrooms and bathroom were so clean and spacious with lots of closet space. The hot tub was a perfect end to a long day out and the outdoor patio and balcony area were perfect for starting your day out in the morning dew. Our guest relations contact was so helpful and quick to respond to all our communications. The only complaint is that we were not made aware that two of the bathroom were located in the bedroom upstairs, while the two bedrooms downstairs shared a single bathroom. It was ok for our group, but for parties that may want their own privacy, this may be a larger inconvenience.

Carmel Reunion

We were 5 long-time college friends reuniting in Carmel from both coasts. This home was perfect in size, comfort, amenities, cleanliness and overall ambience. Its proximity to Big Sur, Carmel & Monterey provided us with lots of outdoor time in between enjoying great dining opportunities and each other's company. The only clarification that should be made in the listing is that while there are 3 full bathrooms, two of them can only be accessed by entering the master suite, which could complicate some logistics for guests.

Beautiful home. Was unaware of the backyard being gravel rocks. Hard to walk on for both myself and the dogs. They seem to scatter everywhere. We loved the fact that the back yard was completely fenced in.

Great house, not worth the trouble.

We enjoyed the house. Everything is updated, and it’s a great location. They day after leaving, we noticed two of our girls developed a rash consistent with hot tub folliculitis. When I reached out to let the management know their tub was infected I got a generic “we are covid safe and clean” answer. I explained this is a pseudomonas infection that I identified as I practice medicine. The only reply I got was “we have someone clean the hot tub weekly.” Multiple people subsequently got a severe rash that was painful and had to seek care from their own physicians which agreed with diagnosis of hot tub folliculitis. It was shocking and disappointing that management neither apologized or took any responsibility.
