Carmel, California
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "The Garden House"! Sleeps up to 4 guests.
Fragrant roses and a bounty of other flowers greet visitors to this country cottage-style home in Carmel-by-the-Sea!
The garden theme carries over into the 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence, decorated with shabby chic furnishings lending it a comfortable ambiance, hardwood floors throughout, and a spacious fully-equipped kitchen that is perfect for entertaining.
The 1,700-square-foot house is just a 10-minute walk from world-famous Carmel Mission, one of the most beautiful in California, and is also a short drive away from Mission Ranch restaurant, owned by Clint Eastwood. Downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea is also just a few minutes away by car, offering fine dining, shopping and day spas, and it’s also a 15-minute drive to such attractions as golf at Pebble Beach®, the butterfly sanctuary in Pacific Grove, or the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row.
Visitors enter underneath a rose-covered arbor to a path that leads to the front door. Once inside, the garden ambiance is reflected in the rose-patterned sofa, carefully chosen antique furnishings, and whimsical décor, and the garden can be seen from the living room and dining room through floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the living room, have a seat on the sofa or in the comfortable chair for conversation in front of the fireplace or watching the 42-inch HDTV. A small library of local history books is also available.
Outside, a patio offers comfortable outdoor seating and a Weber charcoal grill, the perfect setting for backyard barbecues and enjoying cocktails in the evening. A backyard path winds its way beneath a magnificent cypress tree, where a bench offers a spot for reflection and meditation. Lawn area and a wealth of flowers can also be found, with roses, hydrangeas, geraniums and salvia in profusion, as well as maple and live oak trees.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen and dining room, which has a glass-topped table with seating for six. The large kitchen features granite countertops, antique white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a four-burner Jenn-Air gas stove, and plenty of counter space. A laundry room with desk area and stacked washer and dryer is just off the kitchen, and is also a passageway to the garage, making it quick and convenient to bring in groceries and other purchases.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
On the other side of the house are the bedrooms.
Bedroom #1 is done in tones of blue and white, featuring a king bed, an antique rocking chair, a large closet, and painted distressed-look furniture. Access to the garden is available through French doors.
The updated en suite bath includes a deep soaking tub and separate shower, with tile floors and a vanity with limestone countertop.
Bedroom #2 features a king bed with an antique patchwork coverlet.
A second bath in the hallway offers a shower, tile floors and vanity with limestone countertop.
Parking for one vehicle in the garage and two other cars can be parked in the driveway. Additional parking can be found on the street.

I and my spouse (from SF) and our daughter (from LA) met up here for the holiday weekend. Everything about the property was just wonderful: Clean, charming but comfy decor, well stocked with cleaning supplies and cookware. We made a full T-day dinner here & enjoyed walking the area, town & waterfront. The property mgmt was SO responsive to all our needs, even on the holiday. We will be back!!!
We've been using VRBO properties for many, many years. This one was hands-down the single BEST place we've ever stayed. Nothing missing. Everything pristine. Fabulous!
Lovely garden and home. We had everything we needed. Love the view from the garden. Great location

Nice place to stay in Carmel. Not super fancy, but adequate location to go into town and around Carmel. Enjoyed our stay and management was very communicative and easy to deal with.
We had a great experience staying at the garden sanctuary. The neighborhood is great and quiet; it’s very close to highway and beach/ attractions, but this neighborhood is tucked off the beaten path, there’s no beach foot traffic like the downtown grid. House was well setup and stocked. There are welcome goodies, laminated instruction cards for everything. The garden and yard are really nice. The management company was communicative and responsive, and they just seem to really care about the little things that make for a top notch experience.
We loved our stay at this really neat house. The backyard is awesome! We enjoyed some quality family time underneath the large Cyprus tree and short trips to the beach and aquarium. Will definitely stay here again when we return to Carmel.

This home was spacious, well-appointed and clean….location perfect for easy access to Carmel by the Sea, Big Sur and local amenities.
We loved this place it is as pictured. The landscaping in the back yard was beautiful. The fenced yard worked out great with our dog. only 1 mile to Carmel by the sea.!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed a month at this Carmel rental. It was spacious, well-stocked with a lovely backyard. Furnishings are adequate, but dated and worn. The yard is the best part, but it was a chilly April, so we couldn't take full advantage. Sanctuary staff jury-rigged a solution, but really the patio umbrella needs to be replaced.
Great location, beautiful enclosed yard for our dog to enjoy. We love Carmel-By-The-Sea. Thoroughly enjoyed the month we stayed. Sad to leave.
