At “Bay Laurel,” a newly built, two-story,
three-bedroom, two and one-half bath home, you may help
yourself to the Carmel lifestyle, where cultural events,
boutiques, galleries and fine restaurants are within a minutes
of your front door.
Named after the Bay Laurel trees in the garden, “Bay
Laurel” has been elegantly decorated and furnished with the
warmth and healing properties for which the Bay Laurel tree is
known. Its warm, earth-tone colors provide a feeling of inner
peace and tranquility. Try to resist the overwhelming urge for
indolence in this old-world style cottage of approximately
1,680 square feet.
Enjoy the warmth and beauty of the Carmel stone gas
fireplace in the living room, where, through the large picture
windows and French door, you can view a variety of birds
feeding in the sturdy oak trees. The walls are adorned with
local art and photography. There are plenty of local
entertainment books that will help you plan your days on the
Monterey Peninsula.
The property is equipped for your entertainment with
cable TV on a large, flat-panel screen, DVD, VCR, and stereo
in the living room, as well as flat panel TVs and DVDs in two
of the guest bedrooms. Wireless internet service is provided,
although you may forget to check your email, once you arrive!
In addition to the Carmel stone fireplace in the
living room, you will also find one in the master bedroom,
adding to the romance. Radiant heat under the hardwood floors
and limestone tile and carpet in the bedrooms will keep your
tootsies warm!
The maximum number of guests (including children) who
may be accommodated at this property is six. All three
bedrooms are on the downstairs level, which is below the
street on this sloping lot. The master bedroom suite has a
king bed and spa tub bath featuring a tub with jets with
shower over tub and also a Carmel stone, natural gas
fireplace. The view through the French doors is of the
garden, where you can also enjoy not only the sight but the
song of a variety of birds while you sip your morning
cappuccino on the patio.
The queen-size guest room also has French doors that
lead onto a patio and offers an even better view of the
garden. The third bedroom has a twin with trundle bed and is
furnished in the same elegant style as the other rooms. The
guest bathroom includes a shower over tub. You will find a
half bath on the main level.
A laundry room, complete with full-size washer and
dryer, is available for your convenience.
You will enjoy the outdoor spaces at this property as
well as the indoor spaces! This property has a patio, deck,
and patio furniture. The private, sunlit garden patio,
downstairs off the carpeted master suite and guest room, is
perfect for relaxing after a morning at the beach. Delight in
the ever blooming, native plant garden while lingering on a
garden bench near the old California Bay Laurel surrounded by
hummingbirds and the scents of a Mediterranean garden.
Take pleasure in all the modern day amenities, from
the gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances and
accessories to the terraced upper level patio just off of the
dining room. The dining room table will seat six, and the
patio will accommodate a party of six as well. This is a great
place to barbeque, and the deck is the place to have an
elegant outdoor dinner or cocktail party. Your guests will
enjoy the beauty of the twisted oak trees and the wildlife
they attract.
Clean up in the kitchen is made enjoyable when,
through your kitchen window, wafts the melodious notes of the
Bach Festival (or even the rehearsals!) coming from Sunset
Center across the street. The kitchen is equipped with a
professional, Viking gas stove with six burners and convection
oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, disposal, and refrigerator.
Each home is fully furnished and equipped with cookware,
dinnerware, and kitchen linen. Beds have mattress pads,
sheets, pillows and pillow cases, blankets and bed spreads or
comforters. There are at least one bath towel, hand towel, and
washcloth per person plus some extras. There will be enough
soap and paper products to get you started comfortably (click
here for a complete list!).. It is the philosophy of
Monterey Bay Property Management that you should need
to bring nothing with you except your clothes and your
groceries when you are a guest in our vacation rental homes.
