About this property

3681 Whispering Waves ~ Walk to Downtown and Beach

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 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.

Living Spaces
The kitchen, living room, bar area and dining room flow together, making this an ideal place for entertaining. The round, wooden dining room table seats four, 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.
