Vacation Rental Description

Come nourish your body, mind and spirit in this special Carmel-by-the-Sea 
Cottage called  “Sanctuary” that has just become available for rental (July 
2006). The owners have created a wonderful refuge’ in this 1700 sq. foot 
cottage and invite you to take time out and experience the breathtaking 
beauty and exquisite charm of Carmel and the surrounding Monterey 
Peninsula and Big Sur Coast.

The cottage itself is filled with a wonderful collection of books, video’s, DVD’s,  
Music and Art that range from the whimsical to the sacred…. inspirational to 
entertaining. It is this sense of place that calls forth the artist within and says 
come play,write,paint,create,rest,allow,be. The cottage lends itself  to 
reflection and renewal and at  the same time everything you could possibly 
need including a Picnic Basket, Beach Chairs even a beach grill (Carmel 
allows fires on the beach) is available for those who want 
to adventure out to the beaches, countryside and nearby redwood forests in 
Big Sur. There is information available along with suggestions for all the 
restaurants, services, shops, art galleries, and many activities and day trips for 
those who might need some help in deciding what to do or where to go.
The owner used to own an Inn in Vermont and has taken special care to 
create many of the same amenities such as a bottle of wine from a local 
vineyard and horsdoeuvre’s upon arrival. The beds have Egyptian Cotton 
Sheets and Hypo-Allergenic Comforters and non-feather beds, oversized 
towels (on a towel warmer),thick terry bathrobes, magazines, daily newspaper

plenty of windows that allow light and yet maintain privacy.

backup, a dining area that seats 6- 8 and opens to the kitchen. The kitchen is 
fully equipped with a professional Viking range, side-by-side refrigerator, 
dishwasher, quality linens,iniqueserving pieces and platters for entertaining. 
There are numerous cookbooks to browse thru as the owner is a professional 
chef and written her own cookbook.There is a guest bedroom with a full size 
bed that invites you to come nestle under the cozy goose down Hypo -
allergeniccomforter with a good novel and hot cup of tea while the rest of the 
country is baking in 100 degree weather. The library-Media room  has two 
large picture windows overlooking the flower covered deck and fenced inback

(sleeps 1-2). There is a 27”color TV. with full cable,video/d.v.d. library, and

count White Siberian Goose Down comforter that help regulate the 
temperature so you are never to hot or cold. There are reading lamps, cable 
hookup and a wood burning fireplace. The vaulted ceilings and tall windows 
give a sense of spaciousness and the feeling of being in a tree house.  One 
can catch beautiful sunsets looking toward the ocean and the  crisp night air, 
warm cozy comforters and the sound of the ocean at night in the distance 
make for a wonderful nights sleep.

only an 8 minute walk to Carmel’s picturesque village with boutique 
shops, antique stores, top quality restaurants, café’s with outdoor fireplaces, 
coffeehouses, quaint inn’s and B&B’s, and over 100 art galleries. The feeling 
is similar to being in Europe with many of the buildings restored to look like 
storybook cottages out of childhood fairytales.

Beach with it’s pristine white sand beaches, views of the famous Pebble 
Beach golf course where the AT & T is held every February.
Carmel is one of the most dog friendly places in the world with many 
restaurants and shops providing dog treats and water bowls. There is even a 
list of dog friendly restaurants and dog sitters.

Carmel is an artist’s haven and has long been known for the many artists, 
writers, photographers, that have made Carmel their home or retreat.

artists plan to do shows here so that they can also  spend personal time in 
Carmel.

July, The Concourse de Elegance in August,Monterey Jazz Festival in 
September,Tomato Fest live performances at the newly renovated Sunset 
Theatre and outdoor shows at the Forest Theatre. Point Lobos is only 7 
minutes away and is one of the most beautiful natural parks in the country 
with miles of trails and Ocean Vistas.

Once you have explored Carmel there is Carmel Valley about a 15 minute 
drive that is home to many wineries and a place where locals go to bathe in 
the sun when the summer fog rolls in.

The Fish Aquarium. Pacific Grove is home to the Monarch Butterfly and 
Festival of the Lantern and has many quaint shops and great restaraunts. 
There is the famous 17-mile drive and the incredible Big Sur Scenic Highway 
and “Red Wood Forests.The Monterey Peninsula is also a 
golfer’s paradise having the largest concentration of golf courses in the 
country. There are so many fine quality resteraunts, things to see and 
activities to experience that even a month seems to short, which is why 
people return year after year.

The  owners are local and are happy to assist in whatever you need from 
massage to private chef.

“There are some places that bring you an
Understanding deeper than anything
You’ve ever known-in a burst of unexpected clarity
That is often called grace-that every living thing
Around you strives unquestioningly,
Joyously, to be what it is meant to be.
In the spell of such places, there is no need to
Think and analyze, hestitate and argue,
Deny and challenge, or question the path.
The place shows the way to follow.
You don’t even try to put it into words.
Rather, a numinous power touches you
And sends a current of healing through your bones.
Call it a Sanctuary. Call it the power of Place”

Gideo Basker & Lena Lences
From Pilgrimage” The Spirit of 
Place”
