3681 Whispering Waves ~ Walk to Downtown and Beach

About the property

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Whispering Waves”! Home sleeps up to 4 adults and 2 children age 12 and under.

This single level home 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.

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.

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 fireplace, the 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. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
French doors lead from the primary bedroom to an enclosed back patio with outdoor table and chairs, surrounded by live oaks. Bedroom #1 amenities include a king-size bed, a 40-inch HDTV, an accent antique-style electric fireplace and en-suite bathroom, which features a shower with custom travertine tilework and a large adjustable sunflower shower head.

Bedroom #2 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.

A queen sleeper sofa is located in the living room.

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.

Well-behaved dogs under 30lbs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of our team and the homeowner. Extended stays are often possible.

nice home in gorgeous carmel

Overall Comment

We really liked the location of this charming home. It was an easy walk to Carmel Beach and the town. The neighborhood’s is quiet and surrounded by beautiful properties and gardens. With two bedrooms and baths, the house is comfortable for parties of 2-4. Sanctuary was very responsive when we asked for a few additional items needed for our stay. Hope to return.

wonderful stay !

Overall Comment

This was the second time we rented a house through Sanctuary and once again could not have been happier. The house was in a wonderful location, was clean and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and provided us with whatever we needed. They even gave us Christmas cookies, a Poinsettia, and candy as we were there over the holidays.
We would highly recommend Sanctuary Vacation rentals, and would definitely rent through them again.

beautiful stay-beautiful house

Overall Comment

I felt like a local. The house had everything you needed, the layout was perfect. It was a beautiful house, very clean, bedding was clean and extremely comfy. I loved the sunroof ceilings. Really nicce.
Was invited to a local holiday party and made new friends. The courtyards are perfect for eathing outside or enjoying the outside. I rented it again for next year. The only problem is, now everyone will want to stay here after this review.

we didn't want to leave!

Overall Comment

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.

Overall Comment

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.
