Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Casa Carmela”! Sleeps 8

**Please note, this is strictly a NON PET-FRIENDLY home**

A private, gated mini-estate in Carmel offers a peaceful place for every member of the family, with plenty of room to spread out in the main house and a guest suite on a ½-acre lot framed by live oaks, redwoods and Monterey pines.

The property is located on a quiet cul-de-sac and has a secluded feel, yet is just a few blocks away from shopping, dining and other attractions in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Built in 1949, the 2,600-square-foot main house has been updated and renovated but still has a mid-century modern vibe. White-washed open beam ceilings, natural stone floors, and skylights and large windows that let in natural light are highlights of this home.

Besides being just a 10-minute walk from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, the home is also close to the beach. It’s also only a short drive to monarch butterfly sightings in Pacific Grove, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Downtown Monterey, Carmel and golfing in Pebble Beach are 10 minutes away by car, and other attractions within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur, and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.

The large dining table located in the great room is a wonderful space to enjoy meals together or step out the sliding door from the living room to the large deck outside, where a gas grill and outdoor seating are located.
The back yard is fully-fenced and also offers a deck with comfortable patio furniture and a gourmet gas grill, a perfect spot for an afternoon barbecue or a glass of wine in the evening.
