3264 Sea Shell Guest Cottage ~ Updated and Cozy!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Sea Shell Guest Cottage"! Cottage sleeps up to 2 adults and 1 child.

Escape into a mini-fantasy world in this delightful 650-square-foot guest cottage situated in a quiet residential neighborhood just a one block stroll to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Refurbished in recent years, this fanciful one-bedroom, with its accouterments of mermaids, seashells, starfish and other undersea imagery, offers a perfect vacation respite for up to two adults or two adults and one small child. This is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, with its sunny, sand-sea-and-sky color scheme, whimsical objects d'art and sumptuous bath and bed linens.

The cottage is within walking distance of the remarkable selection of shops, boutiques galleries and restaurants in the village of Carmel. Bruno's Market, a gourmet grocery store that is a Carmel trademark, is just a few blocks away. Breathtaking white sand beaches skirted by the Monterey Peninsula's trademark Cypress trees are an ambitious but doable walk. In the car, you can be at Carmel Beach in a matter of a few minutes.

One open, airy room with a vaulted ceiling and skylights comprises the living, dining and kitchen areas. A clean, warm feeling is achieved with wood laminate flooring, a rattan throw rug, and white furnishings that impart a bright, sun-splashed look to the living room, which includes a flat-screen TV. The plush sofa is very comfortable and makes extra sleeping space available for a small child.

The kitchen has granite counter tops and glossy white cabinetry, as well as a small gas range, oven and full refrigerator (no dishwasher). A round white table with four chairs is provided for intimate dining. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Bedroom
You will sleep like a baby on the queen-sized bed with its Sealy Posturepedic extra-plush mattress and ultra soft, luxury linens.
The sofa in the living room converts to a full/double size sleeper for a child.

Bathroom
The beautiful bathroom, which is tiled throughout, features a granite counter top and step in shower.

A Dutch door in the bedroom leads to a private patio and garden filled with colorful plants that flourish all year round in Carmel's temperate Mediterranean climate. You can dine al fresco at a bistro table and chairs; a gas grill is provided for outdoor cooking.

Just across the street is a charming vest-pocket park as well as a city parking lot with EV (electric vehicle) chargers.
