So many wonderful aspects to this rental- where to begin?! To start, Serenbe felt like coming home. It's charming, warm, picturesque and just all around lovely. The location is wonderful, quaint Carmel neighborhood, but minutes walking distance from a busting shopping and restaurant strip, and also walking distance to the gorgeous beach!
The decor inside is so well done, you don't feel like you're in a vacation rental, you feel like you're in your own wonderful home away from home. The kitchen is really well stocked to cook in, which we did quite a few times, and also experienced some amazing restaurants in town. I really enjoyed all of the artwork and photography in this home, too, was unique/worldly and beautiful.
Other features we enjoyed were two fireplaces inside the home and another fireplace in the private back area with a table and chairs that makes for a cozy and romantic setting for wine and apps or a meal, too.
There were two of us here, but definitely seems large enough for multiple couples or families- honestly would love to go back with more people, also!
On top of the fantastic home and amenities, the weather was great, and we really enjoyed all of the offerings the location had to offer. We did some hiking in Big Sur, wine tasting in Carmel Valley, massages and an entire day of relaxing at Refuge Day Spa, felt like locals in the downtown area on Main Street steps from the home, and really enjoyed simply walking the neighborhood to the beach, and little trails minutes from the home, too.
Whoever owns this home, well done and thank you so much for the amazing stay. Memories for a lifetime.
