Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “La Belle Vie”! Sleeps 6

Vintage style and state-of-the-art amenities can both be found at this charming cottage in Carmel-by-the-Sea, located in a quiet neighborhood that is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and yet still close to dining, shopping and the beach.

The 1,500 sf, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is just a few blocks from Carmel’s famed Ocean Avenue and other attractions. It’s also just 10 minutes by car to the world-class golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach®, to Monarch butterfly sightings in Pacific Grove, or to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Other attractions within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.

Furniture and décor reflecting a modern rustic vibe, a color scheme of gray, white, and coral, hardwood floors and original artwork give this renovated home a casual and fun ambiance, with large windows that let in generous amounts of natural light. The centrally located kitchen makes meals a snap to prepare, and a private patio offers space to unwind.

Living Spaces
A brick walkway leads up to the front door, while an adjacent path offers entry to the gated patio. Guests enter the home via the cozy living room, which features upholstered chairs and a sofa surrounding a gas-start wood-burning fireplace. It’s a perfect place to read books or watch the 42-inch HDTV on the wall above the fireplace. Nearby shelves provide a small library of books of local and regional interest, and a desk is available for doing computer work or other tasks.

Kitchen and Dining
Adjacent to the living room is the dining room, with a rustic wooden table that seats six. Seating for two is also available at a kitchen island that also provides handy shelves stocked with kitchen necessities. Stainless steel appliances by Jenn-Air include a four-burner gas stove, electric oven and a refrigerator with French doors, and a 36-inch HDTV is mounted over the refrigerator. An Alexa system can be accessed in the kitchen and the master bedroom.

French doors from the kitchen open onto the back patio, which features landscaping around the borders and unique succulent wall planters, as well as a heat lamp, patio seating and a gourmet gas grill.

Bedroom #1 is a suite, which has cozy carpet, vaulted open-beam ceilings, a queen bed with fabric headboard, and luxury bedding in tones of white and gray. A club chair provides a reading spot next to the French doors which lead to the patio, and a large closet provides plenty of space for clothing and accessories.
The en suite bath includes dual sinks and mirrors, a large shower with a built-in seat, removable shower head and white subway tile, stunning floor tile and a private commode.

Bedroom #2 has a queen bed and Bedroom #3 has two twin beds. These guest bedrooms share a hallway bath with a tub/shower combo with removable shower head.

A stacked washer and dryer can be found in a utility closet off the kitchen. Two parking spots are available in the driveway in front of the garage. The garage is not typically available for parking.
