About this property

3778 Sea Salt & Caramel ~ Walk to Downtown & Beach

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Sea Salt & Caramel”! Home sleeps up to 6 adults and 2 children.

Newly renovated Carmel-by-the-Sea cottage in a tree-lined neighborhood framed by beautiful vistas of the nearby Santa Lucia Mountains. Enjoy easy level walking to downtown shopping, dining and nearby Carmel beaches from this wonderful location.

The 4 bedroom, 3.5-bath home has sweeping views from the main floor and deck of the mountains that border nearby Carmel Valley.
This 1,800-square-foot residence is conveniently located within a 7 minute walk to two Carmel beaches. It's also just a 3 minute walk to the famous Carmel Mission Basilica Museum and to Carmel Mission Ranch where you can enjoy dinner or Sunday brunch with an ocean and pasture view of grazing sheep.

Downtown Carmel is an easy 10 minute walk passing wine tasting rooms, restaurants, galleries, Nielsen’s gourmet deli and the Sunset Center. Point Lobos State Natural Reserve hiking area is just a five minute drive from the house. Ten minutes by car you will find popular attractions such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and Asilomar, and half an hour to Big Sur. It's also near golfing and sightseeing in Pebble Beach®.

Living Spaces
The living room has whitewashed vaulted ceilings, comfortable seating with a plush linen sofa, feather/down pillows, two Italian leather swivel chairs plus a large storage ottoman, a dramatic handcrafted console and a 55 inch HDTV. Just beyond are views of the nearby mountains through large windows or from the newly-built, large upper walk-out deck, which has patio seating, fire-pit, a gourmet gas grill and stairs down to the lovely landscaped back yard.
Downstairs is a TV room with a 50 inch HDTV; the sofa here converts to a queen sleeper.

Kitchen and Dining
The gourmet kitchen has seating around a built-in table with Cambria quartz countertops, white custom cabinetry, and high-end Wolf appliances with plenty of storage space, built-in seating and a window seat overlooking the garden. A pullout faucet and deep sink complement a gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave and high-tech refrigerator and a Keurig coffee and tea maker. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
On the main level, Bedroom #1 is a primary suite with a gas fireplace, 43" TV, Tempur-Pedic Supreme King mattress and en-suite bath with gold fixtures. The bathroom has a cedar-lined closet, a wall-mounted shaving mirror, dual sinks, quartz counter-tops and marble tile in the shower.

Also on this level is Bedroom #2 with a full size bed. Nearby is a half-bath/laundry room with washer and dryer.

Just a few steps up, Bedroom #3 - Queen bed, dual closets and en-suite bath with a shower. There is a low spot in the ceiling when going up or down the stairs accessing this room. People over 5'5 or so will need to be aware. Once past that point this pleasant room has a higher ceiling.

Downstairs, Bedroom #4 - California king bed, access to the private backyard garden, a covered patio with comfortable seating.
The nearby full hall bathroom has a shower.
