Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Forest Hideaway”! Sleeps up to 4 guests.

Located just a 5 minute drive from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, this updated 1268 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath Comstock cottage features many of the unique historic touches that make Carmel architecture so unique. Nestled in a sunny spot surrounded by pines and oaks with a distant view of Point Lobos and the blue Pacific over a canopy of trees. Pebble Beach®, Monterey and PacificGrove are just 10 minutes away by car; Big Sur is a scenic 45-minute drive.

Park at street level in the quiet residential neighborhood and descend a few steps to a courtyard with potted plants and surrounded by a privacy screen of shrubs. A table, 4 chairs, an umbrella and a grill are provided so you can enjoy this secluded setting.

The front entrance leads to a living room facing southwest with old growth paneling that comes alive with color with a bright sunset. Carpeting throughout the home is beige with a white vaulted ceiling and a gas burning Carmel-stone fireplace. A wall of windows reveals forest and a view of the distant ocean. A long narrow deck runs along the back and side of the house with rocking chairs and an Adirondack chaise.

A cozy grouping of furnishings in front of the fireplace includes a plush sofa with chaise, burl-wood coffee table, white leather loveseat, Asian chest end table and a flat-screen TV.

A den is situated just off the front entrance overlooking the courtyard and has an Asian-inspired desk and Asian wall art . Built-in shelving and cabinets hold books, games and playing cards.

The kitchen will make gourmet meal preparation fun and easy. Features include a large skylight, stainless steel countertops and backsplash, stainless steel electric range, refrigerator and dishwasher and a bistro table for 2.

The dining room opens to the living room but inhabits its own space along the wall of windows, providing diners a peek of the ocean in the distance. An oval wooden table with upholstered chairs can seat up to 8. Beautiful dishes, glassware, serving pieces and linens allow you to entertain in high style. Open the sliding glass doors that lead to the deck and enjoy cocktails at sunset with a distant peak of Point Lobos. Well-equipped for extended stays!

    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 rental experience was very nice. I stayed at the house about ten days per month for six months. I rarely needed to contact Sanctuary, but when I did the representatives were very accommodating and cheerfully cooperative.

    The place is a complete and total disappointment. Pictures are so deceiving. The place is expectedly old, but any remodel has long since outlived it's usefulness. The carpet is so old, stained and dirty that the cleaning performed at our complaining did little. The furniture, which was bargain basement to begin with, is so old, dirty and stained, broken down and uncomfortable from wear it is painful to sit on. And I am talking about all of it. There is not a decent place to sit in the whole house. There are cobwebs in every corner of the kitchen sky light. The windows throughout look as if they have not been washed since installation. The light fixtures were full of bugs and half the bulbs were burned out on arrival. On top of all these many features we learned there is a fulltime tenant in the basement disguised as acaretaker on the property. Staying here was a long 3 1/2 months. Especially at the price we paid. I am surprised you would represent and advertise a property of this quality.

    This is a very comfortable house with two wonderful patios. The home sits on a steep hillside giving the back deck a real treehouse feeling. There is a big view of Pt Lobos in the distance. Back Patio is private and gets sun through day. It’s has older finishes inside, though the fire place and sitting area are just fine. Thanks to the property management co for such easy communication and professionalism.

Carpet needs cleaning and a few maintenance issues need addressing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the perfect Carmel hideaway! Big thanks to the home owners and to Sanctuary for making our extended 6-month stay so comfortable and memorable. This gorgeous property is exactly as described. The furniture and decorations are really cool and tasteful. We loved the high lofted ceilings and the sunny deck. We didn't know it before booking, but you can see a bit of the ocean through the trees off the dining room corner window. This was such a pleasant surprise. We never had any maintenance issues or concerns...but we did interact with the property management team when they dropped off extra pillows and a surprise holiday gift. Very thoughtful! The location is amazing...very close to Route 1 (but no traffic noise at all). And just a two-minute car ride to downtown Carmel. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for going on walks. The neighbors were super friendly and respectful. Plenty of parking. We would definitely stay here again in the future. This is the 3rd house we've rented from Sanctuary and all are highly recommended.
