CARMEL-BY-THE SEA is an exquisite and charming seaside community on the Monterey Penninsula of the Central California Coast. The striking beauty of its white sand beach, mythic Monterey Cypress groves, jeweled gardens and whimsical cottages have long made it a place of pilgrimage for artists, poets, spiritualists, and lovers. Quaint shops, art galleries, and fine restaurants complement the natural beauty of the town. The rugged beauty of Pacific coastline including the famed Highway 1, Big Sur, Point Lobos State reserve, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Carmel Valley Wineries are just a few of numerous local attractions ripe for exploration.

SERENITY-BY-THE-SEA is a beautifully restored "Carmel cottage" perfectly situated in the heart of Carmel, only steps to town and a few more down to the beach. Its signature "bat & board" construction helps create the authentic Carmel atmosphere. Dutch doors, large windows, and a generous open deck create an open, airy environment. The extra large lot includes a spacious back yard and garden perfect for relaxation and entertainment. The house is positioned in a sunspot, so if there's sun around, its bound to be here, flooding the yard, deck and illuminating the home. Beautifully furnished with a tasteful blend of antiques and modern furnishings, you'll find everything you need and more for a memorable stay. .
Connected with a deck is a self-contained guesthouse with its own bathroom, kitchenette, and sleeping for up to three guests in a cozy room. This guesthouse also doubles as an office center, so you can keep on top of things while you're away complete with a fully loaded PC with DVD, CD-RW capacity, printer, private phone line, and high speed internet access, with wireless capabilities if you prefer to use your own laptop
Flowers are an important part of the décor. Large potted roses, along with hanging flowers from the house attract guests onto the deck. Eye-catching gardens adorn the front and back of the house. A modest size, fenced- in back yard provides some play space. The grounds are maintained by a professional gardener to ensure there will always be an abundance of bloom.
A Carmel ordinance requires a minimum of a 30-day rental. All maintenance matters are handled by our local property manager. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and wish you a wonderful stay in Monterey Bay! Direct all reservation requests or inquiries to ptlobos@comcast.net. Please take a guided tour of the home on this website.
