About this property

3485 Avalon by the Sea ~ Huge Gourmet Kitchen!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Avalon by the Sea”! Sleeps up to 4 adults & 2 children age 12 or under.

This sunny home is located in Del Rey Oaks, a quiet bedroom community within 10 minutes of Carmel, Monterey and other major Monterey Peninsula attractions. If you're a tennis aficionado, courts are within walking distance.

The 2,100 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath plus den is faced in sand-colored Carmel stone and sits up on a rise that offers an elevated position over other homes in the neighborhood. A terraced front garden is planted with drought-tolerant flowering plants.

Prints of birds and botanicals and a crisp lime-green and white color scheme bring nature indoors in this immaculate home that features a spacious great room, high beamed ceilings and hardwood floors.

A small entryway opens to the sunken living room with a massive Carmel stone fireplace, white leather couches and light pouring in through large arched windows on either side of the fireplace. One wall holds numerous prints of birds, plants and flowers, establishing a theme that repeats throughout the house. You'll love sitting in this room and playing games or watching movies on the 36” flat-screened TV tucked away in a wooden amoire.

Slightly elevated and completely open to the living room is the dining room with an off-white caned breakfront cabinet holding glassware and an table with cane-backed chairs that can seat up to 6.

The dining room is contiguous with a chef's dream-come-true kitchen - an absolute stunner with golden granite surfaces, pine cabinetry and a carefully conceived floor plan. At the perimeter is a bar with stool-seating for 4 for casual meals or conversing with the cook. The main work area revolves around a large island containing sinks, a built-in stove top and a stainless steel dishwasher. There is also a stainless steel oven and microwave and a large refrigerator faced with pine. Everything you could think of for preparing and serving memorable gourmet meals is here, including a selection of cookbooks.

Brew your morning coffee and exit from the kitchen with your cup of java to an enclosed patio with a couch, chairs and a table.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 is spacious and has a sophisticated French feel with a cool robin's-egg-blue and white palette, broad-striped wallpaper, wall to wall white rug, filmy white draperies, a white-caned dresser, mirror and end tables, and a white wrought-iron king bed with luxurious linens. There is a small private deck with a lounge chaise for sunbathing or reading a book. A small seating area in the master includes a white sofa and an arm chair.
Bathroom #1 is en suite to Bedroom #1 and has deep spa tub with jets, a separate shower and his-and-hers sinks.

Bedroom #2 in a soft buttery yellow has a white wrought-iron queen bed with bird-themed coverlet and white end tables.

Relax with a book in the den, that can be used as an office or optional sleeping space with a sofa that converts to a full/double bed to sleep 1-2 small children. There is no closet in this room.

The hall bath with a shower has a spa feel with its taupe and beige tiling.

Parking in the driveway for 2 cars or on the street in front of the home. The garage is not available for guest parking.

This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

Beautiful home

Very clean, beautiful home, especially the spacious kitchen. If you will use the coffee pot, bring basket type filters with your coffee. The pull out sofa was not comfortable, but they provided a large air mattress, which did the trick! We enjoyed the Monterey area very much; the wharf was about a 12 minute drive. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Fantastic getaway

We just left our rental Avalon-by-the-sea and we were so sad to leave. What a marvelous home. Spotless, beautifully decorated with many wonderful features and extras. The most stocked kitchen I have ever seen. Our family really appreciated every cooking gadget you can think of, except a coffee grinder. Beautiful space for a family or intimate gathering. We will definitely be back.

A sweet touch of Tuscany in Monterey!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is a lovely Tuscany villa with all the amenities of home. The lovely detail to the decor is welcoming, with a beautiful master bedroom and hardwood floors throughout was my fav along with the cleanliness. It was far superior to other places we’ve stayed. We would highly recommend this sweet home and we will be back. It’s central in driving to Carmel, Monterey and surrounding areas. The picture doesn’t do it justice and we highly recommend to all who visit this site. The only thing is there is no air conditioner so if you go in summertime open the windows and run the ceiling fans. The office was very helpful and easy access to the key when we arrived.

Monterey vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is very beautifully build. As we walked in the interior it immediately felt comfortable, luxurious and welcoming, just what we really wanted. There were only few down sides. Random paper tissues on the bed in the smaller room. The office room has water heater in the closet which made noise periodically. We could not use that closet as there is no space. Also,it took me nearly half an hour to locate the bedding for that room and even then we were missing pillows. Another disappointment was the company's inability to stand behind their words when they say there is a crib and a high chair,which I requested at the time of booking, and could not provide either one. The company charging a cleaning fee, but requested to do several chores at the check out and expects guests to leave promptly by 10:00am. This makes things a little stressful at the end. We also had internet loose connection a few times.

Wonderful Home, Wonderful Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Honestly, probably one of the nicest rental homes I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in quite a few. The pictures do not do this home justice. My husband and I love to cook so the kitchen was a dream and had everything you could possibly want to cook a great meal or even bake! I even found a KitchenAid stand mixer! The master bedroom was large and very comfortable as were the living areas. The property was spotless. We were close enough to all the touristy attractions, but off the beaten path in Del Rey Oaks in a quiet neighborhood. I didn’t want to leave when it was time to check out. I would definitely stay here again if the need arose!

This home is beautiful! The hosts are wonderful and attentive. My husband and I stayed there with my parents and our two young children. The open kitchen/living area was large and spacious with lots of windows and natural light. We appreciated the large bathrooms as well. The home was VERY clean, well-kept, and well stocked. The pack-n-play was clean and new-looking which I appreciate. Hosts were quick to answer any questions. Check in was easy! Property details inside were very helpful. Instructions were very clear. Checkout instructions were clear and simple. When we walked in the home for the first time, we were greeted with calm music and a lovely gift of wine and cheese from the hosts!
