Welcome to “Whispering Waves”! Home sleeps up to 4 adults and 2 children age 12 and under. This private residence on a Carmel cul-de-sac makes a perfect getaway, winter or summer, in a quiet neighborhood that is within walking distance of the shops and galleries of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and the beach. A walkway right out the front door brings you on to a boardwalk for a beautiful stroll past sand dunes to the Carmel Beach. Whispering Waves is also close to the golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach® and a short 10-minute drive to Monterey and Pacific Grove, 15 minutes to Carmel Valley, or a half-hour to Big Sur. Surrounded by moss-covered Monterey pines and oaks, the 1150 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to six, and features newly remodeled interiors, a spacious gourmet kitchen, and an enclosed patio that’s a perfect spot for families or couples to relax, barbecue, or enjoy a glass of wine. Old World style can be found throughout the beautifully decorated home as well as a variety of modern conveniences. The light-filled residence features skylights and windows in every room. Vaulted open-beam ceilings, plaster walls and dark hardwood flooring hints at California’s Mission heritage, and that sense of history is enhanced through the furnishings and carefully chosen paintings of which several were done by the owner. Upon your arrival you will be greeted by complementary wine and cheese, tickets for local wine tasting, local organic coffee to start your mornings and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is available to assist you during your stay. We have also provided spa amenities in the bathrooms, spa robes and beach gear. The kitchen, living room, bar area and dining room flow together, making this an ideal place for entertaining.

Cable and wireless Internet are available throughout the home. Rich earth tones of sienna, red and chocolate further add to the warmth of the décor, and wrought iron chandeliers match the historic look of the home.
