Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Blue Skies"! Home sleeps up to 6 guests

A classic Carmel cottage in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, just blocks from downtown Carmel by-the-Sea, allows visitors to enjoy a peaceful retreat while at the same time providing easy access to superb shopping and dining.

This 1,620 sf, 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence, completely updated yet with traditional handcrafted touches throughout, harkens back to Carmel’s historic past while providing modern conveniences for guests.

A flagstone path leads to the front door, past Australian ferns and flax, with live oaks and Monterey pines giving graceful notes to the landscape. The split-level residence includes a kitchen, primary bedroom and living room above and two bedrooms below, and is pet-friendly.

The back yard has lovely new landscaping with a large Carmel stone fire pit which is perfect for relaxation and entertainment.

In addition to being within a few minutes’ walk of downtown Carmel by-the-Sea and a 10-minute walk to the ocean, the house is just a half hour by car from the natural beauty of Big Sur, 10 minutes from the world-class golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach® and 10 minutes from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row.

The eclectic décor in autumn shades of moss green, brown, red and gold includes handmade furniture by the owners' son and original artwork by the owners’ daughter. Arts and Crafts style pieces blend with comfortable couches and chairs in the living room, arranged around the wood-burning Carmel stone fireplace with gas kindler to make a natural gathering point for friends and family. A 50-inch HDTV is mounted above the fireplace. There is an integrated entertainment system TV, DVD, internet, Apple TV with easy-to-use single console.

Large windows let in ample light, and wood floors can be found in the kitchen, dining room and living room. The kitchen includes new appliances in brushed nickel, as well as granite counter tops and stove back splash, a large, divided sink with pullout faucet, and a Thermador six-burner gas cook top. The farmhouse dining table seats six near a bay window. Well-equipped for extended stays!
