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.

Reviewer Comments:
I would rent this house again however the location on a main thoroughfare sometimes made getting in and out of the driveway difficult and there was a lot of road noise
We stayed 4 nights. Everything was perfect. Beautiful home with every amenity you could possibly want. Great communication with owner. Definitely would stay again. The gardens and back patio area were a great place for morning coffee.

Thank you for your review! We look forward to having you stay with us again soon!
We had a great visit to this property. Everything in the listing and all the pictures were a very accurate description of the house itself. Our hosts were overly communicative during our stay in making sure all our needs were met.
