3596 Forest Hideaway ~ Distant Ocean Views

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Forest Hideaway”! Sleeps up to 4 guests.

Located just a 5 minute drive from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, this updated 1268 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath Comstock cottage features many of the unique historic touches that make Carmel architecture so unique. Nestled in a sunny spot surrounded by pines and oaks with a distant view of Point Lobos and the blue Pacific over a canopy of trees. Pebble Beach®, Monterey and Pacific Grove are just 10 minutes away by car; Big Sur is a scenic 45-minute drive.

Park at street level in the quiet residential neighborhood and descend a few steps to a courtyard with potted plants and surrounded by a privacy screen of shrubs. A table, 4 chairs, an umbrella and a grill are provided so you can enjoy this secluded setting.

The front entrance leads to a living room facing southwest with old growth paneling that comes alive with color with a bright sunset. Carpeting throughout the home is beige with a white vaulted ceiling and a gas burning Carmel-stone fireplace. A wall of windows reveals forest and a view of the distant ocean. A long narrow deck runs along the back and side of the house with rocking chairs and an Adirondack chaise.

A cozy grouping of furnishings in front of the fireplace includes a plush sofa with chaise, burl-wood coffee table, white leather loveseat, Asian chest end table and a flat-screen TV.

A den is situated just off the front entrance overlooking the courtyard and has an Asian-inspired desk and Asian wall art . Built-in shelving and cabinets hold books, games and playing cards.

The kitchen will make gourmet meal preparation fun and easy. Features include a large skylight, stainless steel countertops and backsplash, stainless steel electric range, refrigerator and dishwasher and a bistro table for 2.

The dining room opens to the living room but inhabits its own space along the wall of windows, providing diners a peek of the ocean in the distance. An oval wooden table with upholstered chairs can seat up to 8. Beautiful dishes, glassware, serving pieces and linens allow you to entertain in high style. Open the sliding glass doors that lead to the deck and enjoy cocktails at sunset with a distant peak of Point Lobos. Well-equipped for extended stays!
