About this property

3772 The Waves ~ Oceanfront, Gated, Private, Unique, Stunning Ocean Views!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "The Waves"! Sleeps up to 5 adults.

A vintage architectural gem, perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean awaits guests to Yankee Point south of Carmel. Enjoy magical views of waves and water, where the sound of the waves will lull you to sleep.

This 2,272 sf Carmel Highlands oceanfront home was designed by renowned local architect John Gamble to resemble a bird in flight over a river, with the river being the stone stairway inside the center of the home. Natural stone and wood inside the home invite guests to become one with the rugged coastline and surrounding environment. In this dramatic setting, the land’s end and the ocean’s beginning can be fully appreciated.

The home has cathedral ceilings, generous natural light, two beautifully updated spa-inspired bathrooms, and a security gate.

Despite the feeling of being away from it all, it’s just five minutes by car to shopping and dining in downtown Carmel, and 15 minutes to golf in Pebble Beach®, historic Pacific Grove or Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Flanked by windswept cypress trees, the home has mid-century touches such as vintage pendant lighting, natural stone interior walls and stone steps inside the home. An oceanfront patio has stone benches and a table, an ideal place to watch whales and sunsets.

Living Spaces
The great room has a 48-inch TV and comfortable seating that includes a leather sectional. Full ocean views are breathtaking from the floor to ceiling windows. Original artwork can be found throughout, as well as antique and eclectic furnishings.

Stone steps lead to a small office space with a desk in a tower wing, with views of an adjacent cove.

Kitchen and Dining
The mid-century vintage kitchen has original blue tile counters, a double oven and a Bosch electric cook-top. The adjacent dining room is slightly elevated above the living area and has ocean views.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The main stairway leads to the two largest bedroom suites.
Bedroom #1, has a split king bed with foam topper or two twins, a small reading nook with a selection of books and a bath with large shower, a vanity area with sink, and custom tile. This is a fully enclosed bedroom suite.

Bedroom #2 is a loft that is open to the lower level to take full advantage of ocean views from the living room's floor to ceiling windows. It has a king bed. Guests should take note of this unique floor plan understanding that this bedroom is not fully enclosed or completely private from the lower level.
A large, en suite bath includes a two-person shower with custom tile, dual sinks, a shaving mirror, and seating.

Downstairs, Bedroom #3 has rock-lined walls, a queen bed and a small en suite full bath with tub/shower combo. The ceiling of this unique bedroom opens to the great room, so guests should note that this room is not fully enclosed from the living spaces.

At the base of the second-level stairway is a convenient half-bath with blue tile and copper basin. This is located near the entry.

Ample parking is available in the large driveway which is gated. The garage is not available to guests.

Due to the cliff-side location and multiple stairways in the house, only fully supervised, well-behaved children should be guests, due to safety concerns.

Well-behaved dogs under 35 lbs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.
Dogs should never be left anywhere in or on the property unsupervised. Keep in mind the cliff side location. The front yard is fenced and gated, but the ocean side of the home is not entirely fenced.

This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

The Waves Review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here for a self-imposed retreat. What's so wonderful are the crashing waves all around. Off of the back porch, you can go down the steps all the way to the water! Inside, it's cute - the loft bedroom has wonderful sea views. Would be perfect for several friends, two couples, probably not children (too many steps, open areas wouldn't be quiet). No problems staying here and nothing really missing except that the fireplace isn't functional. Absolutely loved the steam shower!

Unparalleled views - okay house
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and view were phenomenal!! ...but the house itself is rather dated (other than the recently renovated upstairs bathrooms - which was such a contrast to the rest of the house). The kitchen in particular is in need of a refresh. But if you are not cooking at all, the views more than make up for the dated state of the house.

Interesting & impressive house with killer views
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: THE WAVES is one of the most interesting and impressive houses I've ever seen. Its architecture is gorgeous and unorthodox in the most stylish ways. The intangible yet powerful "vibe" of beauty and personality saturates the entire property, providing functionality, awe and comfort. The building is a 10 out of 10, but the real superstar feature is THE VIEW. Floor to ceiling windows allow you to live in the impossibly cool scenery of the ocean. You get your own private stairway to a secluded bench looking down on the water. Sunsets were unreal and night time gave clear views of the Milky Way galaxy. Though this house was near the downtowns of Monterey and Carmel, we felt like this house trumped those otherwise great travel destinations - we liked sitting in the house more than visiting the tourist spots. The agency managing this house was friendly, easy and attentive. A great experience.
