About this property

3771 Serenity in the Woods ~ Unique Architecture, Like Being in a Tree House!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Serenity in the Woods"! Sleeps up to 6 guests.

A wood-pole-construction home becomes one with the sky and native pine forest in Pebble Beach®, backed by greenbelt in a tranquil setting.

The 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin-like home designed by architect David Allen Smith has been featured in architectural books, Sunset Magazine, and the L.A. Times, and features floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows and skylights that face the Del Monte forest and allow natural light to flow through the entire house. The Homeowners have chosen to maximize the views by excluding window coverings throughout the home.

This 2,068-square-foot split-level home is designed to bring the outdoors inside, with decks off the main living area and the primary suite. The home incorporates both mid-century modernist styling and a rustic feel with its unique design featuring wood planks and poles.

The home features vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan and hardwood floors in the living spaces, and cozy bedrooms with built-in storage.

Despite feeling away from it all, it’s just a few minutes by car from the best that Pebble Beach® has to offer in dining, shopping, golf and other activities. It’s just 10 minutes by car to downtown Carmel, charming Pacific Grove, or popular attractions such as Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

The home offers a carport on the street level with a convenient entryway, making it easy to bring in groceries and other items. There is parking for two small vehicles in the carport and additional parking on the street.

Living Spaces
The living room features a TV mounted above the wood-burning fireplace surrounded by comfortable seats, an ideal setting for conversation, board games or reading a good book.

Kitchen and Dining
The galley-style kitchen has a distinct mid-century vibe and offers a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a combination microwave-convection oven, and a four-burner gas cooktop, in addition to custom-made wooden cabinetry, solid surface countertops and a double sink with a pull-out faucet.

The dining area has seating for five around a wooden table near the wall of windows that looks out at the trees. A long built-in buffet provides ample space for a bar area or for buffet-style meals. The deck also provides additional space for entertaining or enjoying the view.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
All the bedrooms also have expansive views of the nearby forest through floor-to-ceiling windows which are not encumbered with window coverings of any kind.

Bedroom #1 is located on the main/lower level and includes a king bed with wooden headboard, a private deck, an en suite bath with shower and built-in storage space.

Bedroom #2, also on the main level, has two extra long twin beds that can, alternatively, become a split king with foam topper as needed and an en suite full bathroom.

Bedroom #3, upstairs, has a queen bed and is next to the full hallway bath which has a combination tub/shower and pedestal sink.

Upstairs in a lofty mezzanine area is the media room with cozy seating, small library, queen sofa bed, and HDTV. This space cantilevers over the lower living space and has low, open walls that look down on the rooms below.

A stacked washer-dryer unit is located in a closet on the upper level.
There is also an exterior entrance from the upper level that exits onto the carport area.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum. Please note that the yard is not fenced.

The stay is not inclusive of the $12.25 per car, per day Gate Fee to be paid directly to the community of Pebble Beach®. Ask us for details.

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!

Convenient,

The property is situated in a tranquil area with a forest view, easy access to a trail and equal (and short drives) to Monterey and Carmel. We came here for Spring Break for a couple of days and the house was comfortable, quiet, very clean, well stocked and easy to access. The check in staff (Katherine) was so helpful, full of local information and great to speak with. We would definitely be back!

Treehouse Serenity

It was a great spring break vacation at this unique architecture serenity in the woods. The location was perfect, next to 17-miles drive, close to Carmel and Monterey. The house was very clean and well stocked with kitchen equipment and bathroom supplies. My only complaints were the lack of countertops in the bathrooms and dated showers. Overall the house was great and would stay there again.

Wonderful Stay in Pebble Beach

Our stay in Pebble Beach was nothing short of amazing! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. We loved waking up to the serene beauty of the area and being so close to the scenic trails, and the ocean.The home was well-equipped with everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy living spaces. It felt like a true home away from home.

Unique and beautiful!

We would love to come back to this unforgettable house again and again. Plenty of space, stunning and ever changing light through the trees and huge windows; every part of this architectural wonder was crafted with care from wood and structural vision. Trails through the Monterey pines of Del Monte Forest right out the back door. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well supplied with what we needed to cook meals for our extended family. Birdsong and deer and the ocean a short drive away. Definitely a win! Please note: Families with very young children will find safety issues in deck railings, windows, and surrounds, but for our 13- through 79-year-old group it was paradise.

Great bones - needs upkeep

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There are wonderful features in this home - all redwood construction, large windows overlooking a forest, it’s quiet and good sized. However there has been scant modernization with electrical carpet and kitchen features that were not even current at the end over last century. The bathrooms are dated and small and the place needs a loving remodel - stay if you can overlook all of this and are not bothered by sunlight in early morning hours. There are no curtains and only partial shades on one room

Peaceful getaway

The property was beautiful, kitchens and baths well stocked. The only negative I can say is outside of the primary bedroom, the lighting in the other bedrooms were very lacking

Time to update

Our family stayed here for Christmas. Dirty and worn bedroom carpet. No large fry pans, broken dining room furniture, malfunctioning dishwasher, slow shower drains, and a fireplace we were afraid to use and an inconsistent heater. This house should not be rented without significant repairs.

Awesome holiday!

The house was beautiful- so unique! Very comfortable. It was very hot when we were there but there were portable air conditioners which were fabulous It was a perfect location to do the 17 mile drive and only an hour away from Big Sur It was extreme well stocked with anytime you could possibly need My only criticism is that the carpets were quite stained and there was no bbq Other than that- amazing!

Collins California Boondoggle

We covered a lot of ground on our whirlwind California family vacation, Sausalito, Napa, Yosemite, Carmel/Monterey. The last leg of our journey was spent at the Tree House in the Pebble Beach community, what a spectacular way to finish our vacation. Comfortable, clean, quiets with easy access to all the Monterey Peninsula and South to Big Sur. Last supper enjoyed at Pebble Beach Golf Club overlooking the 18th green a stones throw from the Tree House.
