    We loved the location. Overall the house was well appointed and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we liked the dining areas. The house layout was unconventional, although we got used to it and came to appreciate it. For a family, I would have preferred the bedrooms closer to each other. The downstairs king bed was too soft for my comfort and the downstairs queen was squeaky. The rec room seemed a little musty, and so we didn't use it much. Otherwise, the house was clean and I really appreciated that there weren't any fake fragrance smells/overwhelming laundry detergent vibes that rentals often have. Overall I'd recommend.

    The house had a lot of nice areas for gathering - the dining room, kitchen eating area, two sitting rooms, patio. Our family members really liked the en-suite aspect of each bedroom. It was so nice to have our own bathrooms. The decor was lovely. Furnishings were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed, and appliances were user friendly and in good condition. Location was very pleasant and quiet.

    We enjoyed our visit - it is a peaceful spot on the hill near Carmel, and is a great base for doing things in the area.The kitchen initially was short of basic things, such as enough pans and wine glasses, but staff was very quick to address those concerns.

    Our family of 9 including children had a great stay at the Carmel nest property by Santuary Vacation Rentals. I would have given the property more than 5 stars if it was possible. It is large house that’s been beautifully maintained with tasteful interiors. The location is amazing in a quite residential neighborhood less than 5mins drive to ocean ave. I highly recommend it. A small feedback for the property managers - the hvac system heats some rooms more than others which can make it uncomfortable in both the hot and cold room. Also, two of the toilets were not getting drained properly. Please fix these. Everything else is great.

The only thing I would have wanted to change was the mattress on the king downstairs is very plush and I sunk a little too much. Other than that, things worked well and the house is great!

    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 house was exactly as described. Great location. Nicely equipped kitchen with good appliances. The welcome bottle of Pinot Noir and cheese was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed walking 15-20 min to town to enjoy the local coffee shops and the beach every morning. One evening we walked to dinner and it was very easy to get an Uber back home for $7. (Did not want to walk up the hill with a full belly). A couple of minor challenges: the king bed in the main room has a very soft mattress/memory foam topper and we like firm beds. The heating seems to only work in one section of the house and even in the lowest heat setting it seemed to stay on constantly despite my attempts at changing the thermostat settings. We ended up keeping it off and using the small space heaters available in all the rooms. Overall we had a great time and would book this house again in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: AWESOME experience! Very nice neighborhood! The house was great. There are 3 bedroom suites with updated bathrooms and the locations are all spread put so everyone has privacy. Extra full bath off the family room for overflow. Location is great but it would be a rather long walk to downtown. If it were not in the dead of winter, we would have walked but it was only a 5 minute drive! We did not use the exterior areas as we were there in the winter, but it looked nice! Kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of napkins, laundry detergent, baggies, and other necessities. Sanctuary rentals was THE BEST! When we walked in the door there was a smoke detector chirping. I called and a maintenance person was there in 10 MINUTES!!! I would stay here again!!

    The property was as expected for the price. This may sound picky but the dishwasher was challenging to program and The kichen cabinets had dysfunctional hinges. Other than that the stay was fine.

    We had three couples stay for three nights. It was a great house as there were three bedrooms with three baths; so we all got privacy but also a way to have communal meals and time together. The area is quiet and within easy driving to 17 mile drive and the aquarium.

    This is a unique property that represents a good value in an expensive area. The unique features will appeal to some but not all visitors. The property management company was extremely easy to deal with and was very responsive. The property itself has a unique floor plan that provides privacy for occupants of all three bedrooms (Each of which has an en-suite bathroom). The house was very clean, well equipped and well maintained. The neighborhood was attractive and very quiet. Despite what other reviews have indicated, I would not consider this house walkable to the downtown Carmel area. It is a long winding walk with no sidewalks for much of the way and the streets are very dark after sunset. The walk back from town is also fairly steep uphill. A final observation - a number of other reviewers have commented on the soft or squishy beds. We found two of the three beds quite comfortable but the third, which would appear to be the primary bedroom with a king size bed was way too soft. On closer inspection, we discovered it has a 3-inch foam mattress topper. Perhaps some people like this feel but we considered it almost unusable and were surprised that the mattress has not been replaced given the nightly rate for this otherwise nice home.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed with friends and family at 3855 Carmel Nest in late July for 6 nights. The house was very spacious, clean and comfortable. It has multiple areas to hang-out, watch TV or play games so that the kids and adults can do individual activities whenever wanted. The house is walking distance to downtown Carmel but it is a tougher walk back from downtown due to the hilly nature of Carmel by the Sea. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay, and we will be back in the future.
