3765 Serenbe ~ Walk Downtown, Stunning Custom Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Serenbe in June. The house is spacious, well equipped and very well designed and decorated. Our dog loved walks in the Mission Trail Preserve (just a half a block from the house) every morning and runs on the beach in the afternoons. Evenings by one of the two gas fireplaces were very cosy. The house and neighborhood are quiet and peaceful, yet only a few blocks to downtown.

Great property located near restaurants and the beach. The house is situated at the top of the hill so walking to Carmel Village was not an option for us. Had great visit and the only issue was a broken grill which was not replaced during our expended stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Serenbe was wonderful! We loved the location but warning there is a very large hill that separates you from town. We had a stroller so this made it difficult but still doable. The house was great overall but the sofa in the family room NEEDS replacing. Feathers everywhere and doesn't keep shape at all. Also, as others have mentioned a cordless vacuum would be a HUGE help up stairs. The one provided is SO old and heavy and makes it hard to keep the floors clean. Last nit picky thing, the rugs are terrible. All of the rug pads are too large for the rugs and so they get bunched up under the rugs and get very annoying, it was a constant battle. We would love to stay here again one day but do hope they are able to iron out these issues.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We found the house very dark. it gets very little natural daylight, except very late in the aft. In just a few rooms. The result was it was always cool in the house and you have to run the heat too much. Downstairs bedroom gets NO heat. Laundry is in a wine room with no counter or place to hang clothes. Main BR mattress very lumpy and needs replacement. Second BR upstairs faces a wall so no light at all. Kitchen TV room sofa seats need filling. Kitch counter bar seats hard and uncomfortable. Plenty of hot water and kitchen fine. No comfortable seating outside to relax. Trees and growth need serious pruning to allow light.

What an incredibly comfortable house with a great location. Walking into town was a breeze (a very hilly breeze, but enjoyable none the less) and Mission Trail was just steps away for great dog hikes. For the pet crowd, the house is perfect for dogs with safely enclosed front and back yards. The house was spotless and very welcoming when we arrived. Kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooks, towels all matched, and linens were fresh and well-chosen. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals were so responsive to any problems we had and they are extremely organized with how-to instructions and pertinent information that made the stay so smooth. The house is just a gem, the neighborhood is almost spooky quiet, and the proximity to trails and town makes for such relaxing and fun stay. Hope to come again soon.

The house was walking distance to most all restaurants and the main activities in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The walk to the beach was longer but still doable. Our house was comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood with ease of travel by car to many points of interest.

We enjoyed the house and the location very much. We would definitely return. One thing to note, the property management company was very slow to respond to a few issues we had, however, eventually things were resolved. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful, very clean, nice kitchen. Location was too far and too many hills to walk into town. My mother and husband went home a week early. I could never get yard lights to work in side and back yard. Had to use a flashlight for my pup to do his business in gorgeous backyard at night. TV in living room has a line down the screen (maybe tv needs repair), no dust pan, or swifters. 1 vacuum that is downstairs, need additional one upstairs would be nice. Infinity cable was excellent, many channels, great fireplaces and bbq grill. It's like living in the forrest. We really enjoyed our stay.
