Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present The Garden House! Sleeps up to 4 guests. Nightly Rental!

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.

Well-behaved dogs under 20 lbs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The yard and the garden are lovely. It’s perfect for a place to stay with your pets. The house is dated, and it needs some updating, especially the living room furniture, which is Granny’s couch and not comfortable. This part of Carmel is noisier than Carmel by the sea. If the property was spruced up a little bit, we would stay again, but if not, we will be looking elsewhere. After a few days of staying in a house, that is a little bit tired and not comfortable, we were ready to leave.

    Home was even prettier than pictures on site. Our pup loved the fenced yard. Everything was clean and comfortable. This location very close to great local attractions too. Staff put sofa covers on, I believe in anticipation for our stay with pet. Nice touch!

    Great location, five minute drive to heart of Carmel, and tree lined streets -- if you prefer to walk. Garden House Sanctuary perfectly describes this home. The backyard is lovely, and the variety of flowering plants and roses blooming were truly enchanting and photo worthy. The home is very clean and stocked with basic items that guests need during their stay. The home works well for two couples, and the master suite has French doors that open to the backyard landscape that is as lush as the pictures. Sanctuary staff is professional and promptly responds to questions and requests, such an early check-in. Thomas and Annie helped us through a couple hiccups that were no fault of Sanctuary staff or the owner. We had a 3-day event and the home truly met all our needs and felt like we were on vacation. We all hope to return -- same time next year :) Thank you -- Thomas and Anne along with their coworkers that made our stay relaxing and enjoyable!

    The beautiful property with the big fenced backyard made it really easy to stay with pets. We had small dogs and they really enjoyed running around in the yard. The house is old but it was very clean and cozy. The location was great. So close to the mail street of the town and the beach! We'll love to come back!

    We enjoyed our time at this house in Carmel . It is very comfortable has a nice kitchen if needed, and the garden is lovely and sunny. It is close to town and the beach. We were out golfing and sightseeing a lot, but the house was great when we were relaxing.

    The house and grounds were terrific. Bed linens need replacing, 2nd bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable and too old. The back patio/front walkway desperately needs to be power washed- there is a clear delineation of what is under the eaves (clean) and not (dirty!). Maybe why the check-in paperwork requested shoes be removed inside the house which we did not do because we weren't made aware of such when booking it. A few other minor cleaning issues, but we did enjoy the house and the big yard. We would rent again if the above problems are addressed.
