About the property

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Avalon by the Sea”! Sleeps up to 4 adults & 2 children age 12 or under.

This sunny home is located in Del Rey Oaks, a quiet bedroom community within 10 minutes of Carmel, Monterey and other major Monterey Peninsula attractions. If you're a tennis aficionado, courts are within walking distance.

The 2,100 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath plus den is faced in sand-colored Carmel stone and sits up on a rise that offers an elevated position over other homes in the neighborhood. A terraced front garden is planted with drought-tolerant flowering plants.

Prints of birds and botanicals and a crisp lime-green and white color scheme bring nature indoors in this immaculate home that features a spacious great room, high beamed ceilings and hardwood floors.

A small entryway opens to the sunken living room with a massive Carmel stone fireplace, white leather couches and light pouring in through large arched windows on either side of the fireplace. One wall holds numerous prints of birds, plants and flowers, establishing a theme that repeats throughout the house. You'll love sitting in this room and playing games or watching movies on the 36” flat-screened TV tucked away in a wooden amoire.

Slightly elevated and completely open to the living room is the dining room with an off-white caned breakfront cabinet holding glassware and an table with cane-backed chairs that can seat up to 6.

The dining room is contiguous with a chef's dream-come-true kitchen - an absolute stunner with golden granite surfaces, pine cabinetry and a carefully conceived floor plan. At the perimeter is a bar with stool-seating for 4 for casual meals or conversing with the cook. The main work area revolves around a large island containing sinks, a built-in stove top and a stainless steel dishwasher. There is also a stainless steel oven and microwave and a large refrigerator faced with pine. Everything you could think of for preparing and serving memorable gourmet meals is here, including a selection of cookbooks.

Brew your morning coffee and exit from the kitchen with your cup of java to an enclosed patio with a couch, chairs and a table.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 is spacious and has a sophisticated French feel with a cool robin's-egg-blue and white palette, broad-striped wallpaper, wall to wall white rug, filmy white draperies, a white-caned dresser, mirror and end tables, and a white wrought-iron king bed with luxurious linens. There is a small private deck with a lounge chaise for sunbathing or reading a book. A small seating area in the master includes a white sofa and an arm chair.
Bathroom #1 is en suite to Bedroom #1 and has deep spa tub with jets, a separate shower and his-and-hers sinks.

Bedroom #2 in a soft buttery yellow has a white wrought-iron queen bed with bird-themed coverlet and white end tables.

Relax with a book in a third room, that could be used as an office or optional Bedroom #3, with a sofa that converts to a full/double bed to sleep 1-2 children. There is no closet in this room.

The hall bath with a shower has a spa feel with its taupe and beige tiling.

This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home.

Very clean, spacious, and well appointed. Three of us spent 3 nights here on a trip to explore the peninsula. We cooked dinner each night and enjoyed the gourmet kitchen and comfortable living and dining rooms. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. We would recommend it to others!

Spotlessly clean, professionally decorated, well-stocked, comfy beds and seating areas.
The driveway is deceptively steep and one of our guests fell as he got out of his car. Garage not available. No view. but handy to drive places.

outstanding!

Overall Comment

I highly recommend that you add at least 2 days to your trip when staying here. We got comfortable very fast and found that the check in and out times plus the quality made us want to stay longer. Clean house, nice let decorated, not filled with creepy spy electronics that a lot of rentals use, the location was close enough to the attractions but not too far. Overall a very relaxing place for more than one person . It’s a bit big for a solo trap and has a very friends and family togetherness feeling to it. My family of 4 enjoyed it. Also the kitchen and bathrooms are great. The manager checked in via text a couple of times to make sure everything was going well.

what a beautiful home!

Overall Comment

This home is beautifully decorated, and the furnishing are all high quality with the touch of an interior designer. It was such a comfortable and relaxing home to stay in. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen was there. The appliances were new, bathrooms were amazing. The entire home looked like it was recently renovated with high end everything! We were so close to everyplace we went. LOVED this home. We wished the 3rd room had a trundle with actually beds mattresses instead of futon sofa. We double up in the master as the futon wasn't comfortable for any of us ladies.

a sweet touch of tuscany in monterey!!

Overall Comment

It is a lovely Tuscany villa with all the amenities of home. The lovely detail to the decor is welcoming, with a beautiful master bedroom and hardwood floors throughout was my fav along with the cleanliness. It was far superior to other places we’ve stayed. We would highly recommend this sweet home and we will be back. It’s central in driving to Carmel, Monterey and surrounding areas. The picture doesn’t do it justice and we highly recommend to all who visit this site. The only thing is there is no air conditioner so if you go in summertime open the windows and run the ceiling fans. The office was very helpful and easy access to the key when we arrived.

a gem of a find

Overall Comment

My son and family celebrated a wedding anniversary with us over the Mother's Day weekend, The home was everything and more that we cold have wished. It was spacious and well-equipped. Every supply we was provided. Our five year old grandson had plenty of play space. The walled enclosed courtyard was sunny and made a comfortable place to relax while our grandson entertained himself investigation the insect world. Extra niceties were the sidewalk chalk, the bag of balls complete with air pump, the 24 piece colored pencil set were great play options, The neighborhood was quiet and the location was convenient to food options. Montey and the downtown area wee within easy access. We were fortunate to have purchased memberships at the Monterey Aquarium and after a three hour wait, we managed to secure Saturday appointments at 3:30 pm. The doorkeepers allowed us to queue up early and gave us an extra half hour visit. The newly reopened aquarium was in top shape and we loved every moment spent. Also, worth the effort is the Dennis the Menace public park. The grounds are extensive, the equipment in top shape, Extra precautions have been taken to ensure safety. The variety of activities was huge and the variety offered seemingly unlimited options to stimulate physical and intellectual engagement. We thought the maze with the green hedges was a clever and probably not too costly play idea. Everything else about the park was the best quality. Adjoining the park, the peddle boats were another day's treat. We took advantage of them the following day. As you can surmise, we had a great time and loved being together in your home.

We were a 3-generation family - grandparents, parents and a 4 year old and 5 month old, and found this home was perfect for us. In addition to the beautiful decor, vaulted ceilings and large master bedroom suite, the open floorplan of the living room (with gas fireplace), dining room and large kitchen worked wonderfully. We had a terrific Christmas week here and would definitely stay here again.
