Description

Welcome to “Whispering Waves”! Home sleeps up to 4 adults and 2 children age 12 and under.

This private residence on a Carmel cul-de-sac makes a perfect getaway, winter or summer, in a quiet neighborhood that is within walking distance of the shops and galleries of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and the beach. A walkway right out the front door brings you on to a boardwalk for a beautiful stroll past sand dunes to the Carmel Beach. Whispering Waves is also close to the golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach® and a short 10-minute drive to Monterey and Pacific Grove, 15 minutes to Carmel Valley, or a half-hour to Big Sur. Well-behaved dogs under 30lbs are welcome.

Surrounded by moss-covered Monterey pines and oaks, the 1150 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to six, and features newly remodeled interiors, a spacious gourmet kitchen, and an enclosed patio that’s a perfect spot for families or couples to relax, barbecue, or enjoy a glass of wine.

Old World style can be found throughout the beautifully decorated home as well as a variety of modern conveniences. The light-filled residence features skylights and windows in every room. Vaulted open-beam ceilings, plaster walls and dark hardwood flooring hints at California’s Mission heritage, and that sense of history is enhanced through the furnishings and carefully chosen paintings of which several were done by the owner.

Upon your arrival you will be greeted by complementary wine and cheese, tickets for local wine tasting, local organic coffee to start your mornings and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is available to assist you during your stay. We have also provided spa amenities in the bathrooms, spa robes and beach gear.

The kitchen, living room, bar area and dining room flow together, making this an ideal place for entertaining. The Old World style dining room table seats six, with a convenient bar area nearby, and custom built-in cabinetry adds to the ambiance.

A 36-inch HDTV can be viewed from either the kitchen or living room, which features cozy upholstered seating, a queen sleeper sofa for 1 - 2 children, and a gas-starter wood-burning fireplace, a perfect spot for conversation, playing board games or reading a good book. Cable and wireless Internet are available throughout the home. Rich earth tones of sienna, red and chocolate further add to the warmth of the décor, and wrought iron chandeliers match the historic look of the home.

The well-equipped kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances and tumbled stone tile counter tops and backsplash. Counter seating for two is just right for a quick snack or drink. A stacked washer and dryer are at the ready for laundry needs.

French doors lead from the master bedroom to an enclosed back patio with outdoor table and chairs, surrounded by live oaks. Master bedroom amenities include a king-size bed, a 40-inch HDTV, an accent antique-style electric fireplace and ensuite bathroom, which features a shower with custom travertine tilework and a large adjustable sunflower shower head.

A second bedroom has a queen bed and 36-inch HDTV, and an adjacent bathroom offers a combination tub/shower and travertine tile. Docks for iPods can be found in both bedrooms.

The two tiled patios are accessible through three sets of French doors, with ample outdoor seating, a deluxe gas grill, and privacy fencing. Parking space for several cars is available in front of the house.

**There is an additional fee for pets**

What a lovely rental. Absolutely spotless and so cozy. Great internet for working remotely. Far enough removed from the bustle of Ocean Ave. yet we could easily walk there in under 10 minutes (and to the beach in 10 minutes too!) PS it's actually more spacious than the photos make it look. We would absolutely come back.

We spent a wonderful month enjoying Carmel and the beach. The cottage is beautiful and perfectly located - with an easy walk to either the dog friendly beach or the town of Carmel. There were lots of restaurants and shops close by. All in all a wonderful experience.

The master bedroom was always too cold.The master bed was lumpy
and tilted to each side. The guest bed was good.

"Great Carmel vacation home!  This is a fantastic rental. Pictures are representative of the property. Although this property allows pets, there is no evidence of it in the condition of the home and decor. Conveniently located close to downtown and to the beach. Very quiet street.Well appointed with everything that we needed. Thank you to the owner for sharing your property. We hope to be able to make a return visit."
