3707 Pacific's Edge Sanctuary ~ Ocean View Estate
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Pacific's Edge Sanctuary"! Estate home sleeps up to 10 guests.
A magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean through a native Pine forest welcomes you to this 16-acre estate perched on a ridge in the Carmel Highlands and comes with luxurious extras that will make this an unforgettable vacation.
The 4,600-square-foot California contemporary home features 3 large bedroom suites with two additional bedrooms that are perfect for family groups, allowing plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and enjoy the amenities of this one-of-a-kind residence, which has ocean views from almost every room.
Total privacy can be found at this gated property, which has five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a wine room and open floor plan that allows the living room, kitchen, dining room and family room to flow together. Californian eclectic décor in earth tones combines rustic, classic, Eastern and contemporary influences for a truly unique ambiance. Guests can (and should) kick off their shoes upon entering the home, to relax and unwind. This is a shoes-free home.
Although the location feels secluded, it’s just a few minutes' walk to fine dining at the Carmel Highlands Hyatt, to a convenient corner market, or to hiking at spectacular Point Lobos. It’s also a 5-minute drive to Carmel Beach and charming Carmel-by-the-Sea, a half hour from Big Sur, and 10 minutes to shopping and dining in Pacific Grove, golfing in Pebble Beach®, or to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row.
Living Spaces A living room near the entrance is perfect for relaxing in front of the stone gas fireplace or watching TV. Comfortable couches surround a glass-topped table, and in the corner, a tall round table is a place to play games. A den off the living room offers a 42-inch HDTV and potential office space. A separate family room has a gas fireplace and 50-inch HDTV.
Kitchen and Dining The gourmet kitchen includes counter seating for two and a small table for four, as well as a gas stove, knotty pine cabinetry, granite countertops, and a walk-in pantry. The formal dining table has six chairs, (larger groups can add chairs from the separate kitchen table).
Outside, a wraparound deck contains plenty of seating, chaise lounges and a gourmet gas grill, and is a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, bbq's in the afternoon or a glass of wine in the evening
Bedrooms and Bathrooms In this split bedroom floor plan, there are bedrooms in the wings on either end of the house. Bedroom #1 has a king bed, gas fireplace, large walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and a separate shower. Bedrooms #2 and #3 each have queen beds and they share a Jack and Jill style bathroom with a spacious vanity and a shower over tub. Bedroom #4 has a king bed and an en suite bathroom with shower over tub. Bedroom #5 is a full guest suite with a king bed, a sitting area, TV, kitchenette/breakfast bar, separate deck and entrance along with a private bath with shower-over-tub. This is a second floor studio Guest suite located above the garage and separate from the main part of the house. A very private retreat in an already private retreat. The house also has a half bath.

This was an amazing house, with incredible views of the bay and Point Lobos. It easily and comfortably managed our party of 10 adults. We cooked some dinners in, and the kitchen was large and well-appointed so we had everything we needed. Very clean and quiet. We couldn't have asked for more.

This property was everything we looked for and more. Our family of 7 went and stayed for the week to celebrate our birthdays. Everyone had their own space as well as areas to come together for dinner and conversation. Even took our dogs who enjoyed their stay as much as we did. We hope to stay here again.
spent 3 short days with family (too short) after our son's wedding. Had 10 people in total (2 young grandchildren) but had a great time. Accomodations were excellent, plenty of space, spectacular views, plenty to see, I wish I lived there full time. Great place
The property is beautiful with plenty of space for all of us. We enjoyed our time here, would recommend having some board games, and pans to cook with. check in was very easy. Would stay here again.
The house and garden was beautiful! We enjoyed sitting and playing catch in the front/driveway area and also sitting on the back deck to look at the ocean. We had a wonderful, relaxing time!
The view was amazing and the facility was great. lots of space to spread out or be with each other.

Beautiful views and comfortable home for a big family with everything you need
We had a wonderful family holiday vacation at this VRBO home on the Monterey Peninsula. The home was a perfect fit for our family of ten. It was conveniently located in the Monterey Peninsula close to Monterey and Carmel in one of the most beautiful and picturesque locations in the USA. We would highly recommend this property to family and friends.
Great house! Very clean. Large deck looking over the lush landscape and ocean beyond. Sunsets were quite calming. Kitchen is small compared to the rest of the house, which is grand. So if you’re looking to cook up a storm and have everyone hang out near you, this is not that design. We moved the furniture around so we made it work. Everything else is as described… met our purpose.
Ten adults in our group and many are very seasoned travelers. This property exceeded expectations in every possible way. Views and grounds spectacular. Estate was beautiful and completely equipped. Beds very comfortable to all and bed linens and towels of high quality. The couple of questions we had were quickly & most graciously answered by the Sanctuary staff. Could not imagine a more perfect private retreat by the sea.

Absolutely gorgeous views from this beautiful and spacious home! My six guests and I enjoyed every square foot of it! The two master bedrooms are very well appointed, as are the guest bedrooms. The guest bathroom however, needs a little TLC. Having a shower curtain on both sides of the shower is a bit claustrophobic. Two of the three fireplaces worked very well however the third was unable to get lit, which was a disappointment because that was the most inviting living room space. Overall, we would stay here again, for sure!

Great stay, I would note on description that there is no AC, (I might have missed it if it was noted) but even with the windows open house got very warm and made it difficult to sleep at times. Also the faucets and shower heads need fixed or cleaned well. The master shower had light pressure but the blockages on the shower head made it difficult to rinse hair.i was also told one of the guest bathroom faucets was “dripping” when fully turned on. Overall though we had a great stay and would love to come back!
Spacious accommodations. Plenty of room for all. Quiet location. Comfortable beds. Nice showers. Plenty of refrigerator space. Had a glitch with dishwasher, and needed more dishtowels, which rental service provided. Dishwasher righted itself. We just didn't understand it's cycle. Trash pick-up ended up on a different day than the instructions stated, but again, no problem resulted. Yard is fenced, a bit low in front, so easily breached by those needing watching. Views are fantastic. Porch for us was cool and pleasant. We had a lot of offshore breeze with fog. Close enough to food markets. Carmel and Monterey close. Beautiful state parks around.
3 nights wasn't enough. The beach was close and lifeguard on duty, very nice. 5 minutes to groceries and shops. Issues with dvd player when trying to watch family video. Ice maker never really worked. Master with the view was gorgeous but shower water pressure horrible. Plenty of room for 10. 6 adults and 4 children ages 7-1. Loved the yard with the grass area. We enjoyed our stay, we would return and recommend this property. I feel like the lusting photos do not show all the amenities. For one outdoor seating and the wine room. Updated photos would benefit.
The house was a hit for our kids and their spouses. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. The view was amazing!The house sits up high in a nice neighborhood. Good daytime access, but dark at night. We had two little pups with us who enjoyed the back yard.The house was nicely located for day trips to Carmel, Monterey and Big Sur.

From the first moment we opened the door to the picturesque sunset view of the ocean we were in love. We were a large group and found the house absolutely stunning and perfect for us. The kitchen was very well equipped (we love to cook) and the house was in great condition. Communication was very good and quick. Incredible stay, thanks again!
