Stunning 4 Bedroom 3 Bath Custom Built Home

Summary:
Flowers welcome you to Casa Serena as you approach the front gate, where a rush of vibrant pinks and purples against a backdrop of warm red stone fills your field of vision. This is the beginning of an unforgettable experience at a custom-built property in the heart of Carmel. An open floor plan allows you to move freely about the gourmet kitchen, grabbing drinks from a sub-zero refrigerator and preparing a meal using state-of-the-art appliances, while watching your loved ones cozy up to the stone fireplace in the adjacent living area.

Wood beams guide your gaze along a vaulted ceiling, enticing you with panoramic views of a massive, fully private and fenced backyard that harmoniously blends stone hardscaping with lush yard space and thriving gardens. Enjoy those cool Carmel evenings around a stunning outdoor fireplace, and explore multiple patios and a newly installed turf side yard. Notice the artist’s studio. Equipped with its own kitchenette, it offers extra privacy and an additional space for tranquil contemplation.

Entering Casa Serena feels like stepping into another world. Lustrous custom finishes and wood shutters meet a sandy taupe palette throughout the home to create the sense of living in an exotic jungle retreat. Of course, this luxurious getaway is just minutes from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea – the perfect fusion of convenience and serenity.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Everyone loved their rooms, slept so well in such a quiet space, and created great memories in the living room and around the dining room table. The kitchen was well appointed, allowing us to have fun cooking for each other. Great location. Landscaping was beautiful, creating a very relaxed outdoor space.

Great for three couples, plenty of room, well stocked kitchen with high end appliances and dishes. Everything was top notch, even cashmere throws in the living area. You’ll love it, just book it now! Plenty of restaurants and groceries nearby. You get garage opener and gate openers as well. Just know the gate closes after about 90 seconds so you can’t just leave it open.

Absolute Perfection
I have stayed in MANY rentals before, but none have been like this. First of all, the management (Marco!) is thorough, professional, friendly, and highly communicative. The entire rental process was simple and accurate. The house itself is truly beautiful. Spotlessly clean, VERY well outfitted, and exactly as pictured in every photo. It's about a 20 minute walk down to the village, which is easy (even in the pouring rain we encountered). The house, despite its relative closeness to Highway 1, is absolutely quiet (and I hate road noise). Do not hesitate to rent this gorgeous home...you won't want to leave.

Impressive and Comfortable
The property and home were absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed the cleanliness, convenience of the in-home washer and dryer, and spacious layout which left each guest with their own personal space. The hosts were very communicative, which left us feeling well taken care of. The front gate was a little tricky because we had a big vehicle, but it wasn’t because of lack of direction on the owners part. The directions made sense once we experienced it firsthand. The only thing to be careful of is the door stops on the floor. If you’re not looking, it might be easy to stub your toes on them. I would definitely book again next time we go back to Carmel.

Outstanding Stay
Our family had an outstanding visit. The property is very comfortable -- well-appointed and well-maintained -- and had everything we needed inside and outside to enjoy a family gathering. It is in a quiet neighborhood with a reasonable walk (+/- 20 minutes) to the core of Carmel. Check-in and check-out were easy and ownership did a fantastic job making us feel welcomed. We would absolutely stay again!

Carmel Family Holiday
We enjoyed a wonderful week with our three children, their spouses and our 2 year old granddaughter! The house accommodated all of us with four bedrooms and 3 baths. A little bit of a walk into downtown Carmel, but doable. What could improve the property? A full length mirror, robes and better internet connection. Overall a great place to stay!

Highly Recommend
I highly recommend this home. It’s very nice, very well maintained and well appointed. Lots of big and little things are high quality. We enjoyed everything about it and every interaction with the team managing it was easy and pleasant. They are all very thoughtful. If being a short walk to town or the beach is important to you this may not be perfect for you (although you can walk to town and it is a pleasant walk). But it was perfect for four brothers on a golf outing and when we’re back we’ll book it again without a moment’s hesitation.

Friends and Family impromptu mini vacay !
Two weeks before our stay we were informed we would have to vacate our home for two days for an unexpected construction event. I searched for a home that would take us-with our two dogs. We ended up staying at Casa Serena and it was WONDERFUL ! We left blistering Los Angeles temperatures and arrived in Carmel with a huge sigh of relief. My teenage son and his two friends did a UC Santa Cruz tour, my oldest son and his partner toured the Carmel Mission, and hiked and we all toured Monterey, the aquarium and Cannery Row-with the pooches ! The house was perfect for our group-everyone had their own private space and we gathered in the living room/dining room for meals and movies at the end of our days. It was truly a great and unexpected retreat for our family. We will definitely stay here again !
