Carmel, California
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Avrio by the Sea"! Sleeps 8 adults & 2 small children.
Enjoy the Carmel lifestyle at one of the world’s premiere vacation destinations, where guests can enjoy the ambiance from the home's two beautifully landscaped patios and from inside a one-of-a-kind home that blends contemporary and vintage elements.
The 2,500sf home, designed by John Thodos, an award-winning architect known for mixing minimalism with Mediterranean openness and light, is at the end of a very private cul de sac just a 10-minute walk to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Distant ocean views through the treetops can be seen from the upper floor through large picture windows. The comfortable décor mixes contemporary furnishings with vintage nautical items such as an antique diver’s helmet and a coffee table made from a ship’s whee.
The home is walking distance to downtown Carmel and a 5 minute walk to the beach as well as just 10 minutes by car from golf and dining in Pebble Beach®, or from Pacific Grove’s famed butterfly trees. It’s also just 15 minutes from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, or a half-hour from the natural wonders of Big Sur.
A vine-covered arch is the entry to a curved walkway that leads to a flagstone patio that surrounds the front door. The sheltered patio, which has a built-in bar with sink, generous seating and a gourmet gas grill, features heaters so that the space can be enjoyed year-round. A special sliding door can be opened so that it’s easy to move between the kitchen and the patio, bringing the outdoors inside.
The front door opens into the upper level, which includes an open floor plan with kitchen, dining area and living room, ideal for entertaining. The fully equipped kitchen includes a four-burner gas stove with built-in griddle, built-in water spigot above the stove, stainless steel appliances, and marble counter tops and back splash. Seating for three is available at the kitchen counter.
The adjacent living room with an open beam ceiling offers comfortable upholstered furniture around a gas fireplace with marble surround, a perfect spot for conversation, playing games or watching the 40-inch HDTV. A bar area is available next to the dining room table, which seats six.

PS Sanctuary Realty does a great job managing the property!!! They are punctual in replying and responding!!! Thank you, Sally

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was comfortable but if it gets 65 up the big picture window in den facing west heats up the den around 4:30. Suggest tinting outside of picture window. Love patio area. Kitchen could use a couple of skillets. Very quiet and peaceful.

We were pleasantly surprised to see it came with a partial ocean view and a wonderfully comfortable outside deck to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Very nice home with all the right amenities!
The property was comfortable and well maintained. It was an easy walk to downtown or the beach. We enjoyed the birdwatching and it was easy to entertain our family. Great find!
This house is flawless, a real gem! Set in the trees with views of the sea, the attention to detail is astonishing. The rooms are all dressed beautifully & to such a high spec but also with every home comfort needed. The outdoor space makes the evenings even more enjoyable! Walkable to town & the beach, at the end of a quiet private street, the location is perfect! We would happily stay here again!!
Our family enjoyed Avrio By the Sea as our home base for exploring the surrounding areas. We've stayed in many rentals in many locations, but this one was extra special. You could tell it was well cared for by the owner and manager..it felt like a home not a rental. It was so relaxing, we skipped a few of our well-made plans for must-sees to enjoy hanging out and enjoying a simple walk to the beach, downtown, and back.
This is a beautiful private home within walking distance to the beach and downtown Carmel. The outdoor patio and gardens are wonderful places to sit and relax. The house was recently renovated and the kitchen is fully equipped. Additionally, there are three private parking spaces in front of the house.
What a fantastic house! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. So close to town and the decor was just perfect.
This property was very tastefully furnished and decorated. The rental staff cordially assisted at every turn. The very nice property is located within walking distance to the central business district. All in all we had a memorable stay. We will definitely return.
