Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Stonehill”! Home sleeps up to 4 guests.

A Craftsman-style home with impressive views and a mid-century modern vibe offers a peaceful retreat in a quiet neighborhood of Carmel-by-the-Sea, close enough to walk to downtown but away from the hustle and bustle of the main thoroughfares.

The two-bedroom, two-bath house, built in 1955, offers ocean sunset vistas through large windows as well as on its wrap-around deck. Gardens filled with trees, succulents and Ceanothus contain private patios behind a historic stone wall, with a variety of seating areas, perfect for quiet contemplation or admiring the birds and butterflies that come to visit.

The 1,435-square-foot residence is within easy walking distance from Carmel Plaza, a premier shopping center with wine tasting rooms, shopping and restaurants, and downtown Carmel’s art galleries, fine dining and upscale boutiques. It’s also just a 10-minute drive to golf and dining in Pebble Beach®, or attractions such as Pacific Grove’s butterfly trees and the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row.

Living Spaces
A style mingling mid-century modern with an eclectic mix of unique and antique furnishings highlights this home. The living room features a sitting area near a 42-inch HDTV, and another around the gas fireplace, with comfortable Danish modern-style couches. An adjacent desk offers a place to set up a laptop computer and a small library that includes books on local history.
Views of the ocean, Monterey pines and cypress, and the coastal hills are made possible by the large west-facing windows, and guests will be certain to enjoy sunsets either inside the living room or outside on the patio.

Multi-level flagstone patios outside offer a variety of places to read, meditate, or just enjoy the sunshine, with a chaise lounge and other seating available along with an outdoor table for dining and a small pond.

Kitchen and Dining
The bright kitchen has a vintage Wedgewood gas stove with six burners and two ovens, in addition to cheerful blue countertops, white cabinetry and hardwood floors.
An adjacent dining area with seating for six shares the views with the cozy living room.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Both bedrooms have new organic queen-sized mattresses from Monterey Mattress and hardwood floors.

Bedroom #1 features coastal interiors in tones of sea foam, blue and white, a queen bed, and a wealth of storage space, with built-in shelves and drawers in addition to cedar-lined closets.
The en suite bathroom has a standing shower.

Bedroom #2 features a vintage vanity, a fabric headboard and views of the garden patios.
The en suite bathroom has a bath tub.

Both bathrooms adjoin one another in a Jack-and-Jill arrangement, making it convenient for guests in either bedroom to access either the shower or the bath tub.

A new washer and dryer is conveniently located in the kitchen.

Two driveways allow for off street parking for up to 3 cars. The small, private lane on which the house sits, does not allow for parking on the lane itself. Additional parking is 1/2 block away.

Well-behaved dogs 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.
