Stayed Feb 27, 2026Rating 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: Stayed here for a long weekend in February, and it was perfection! The home is very cutely decorated, and has both a hot tub AND fire pit. It feels very private, yet also in walking distance of downtown Carmel and all its restaurants and shops. There was even a bottle of wine and some yummy crackers and cheese to enjoy. Would 1000% stay here again!

Stayed Mar 21, 2026This house was amazing! It was perfect for a birthday trip with my bestfriends. The location is great, and the house is super beautiful and cute. It fits the beach vibes perfectly, and the backyard is so nice. The front patio is perfect to sit and eat breakfast on! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and peaceful stay in Carmel!

Everyone had plenty of space and we loved all the amazing amenities! The hot tub at the end of a long day of hiking was perfect and the fully equipped kitchen made for easy family meals! Walkable to the beach and the cutest town in the world! Clean neighborhood and friendly locals! Lots of good books to read on your stay and so many great places to cozy up to read them (my favorite was the big round chair on the front patio)! Thank you for a great time away with my family!

Stayed Dec 25, 2025We were a family of six that loved our stay at your home. Sanctuary made it easy for us and answered our many questions. The town was out of power for a few days but lucky us that the home still had power. We only lost power for a very brief time at night We loved the close proximity to the beach and the twenty minute walk into town. Thank you

Stayed Dec 6, 2025The house was in good condition, all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, at a home away from home. We loved the hot tub and outdoor fire pit and seating. I especially appreciated the keypad door code when we would leave and return at different times not having to think about a house key or a lock box was so much easier.

Stayed Jul 15, 2025Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is lovely. However, the home can just accommodate 4 adults, or a family with small children. 7 adults is misleading. The second bath needs better lighting--no hairdryer provided. Microwave didn't work and standalone mic was put away so we didn't see it. Oven didn't work--reset needed--that was unclear. More flatware needed--had to wash after each use. Kitchen cabs/drawers need to be cleaned out--crumbs, etc. Tracks for windows/ sliding doors are really dirty. Not 7 sets of wine glasses, flutes. No backup paper towels, no paper napkins, only 4 cloth napkins, no scissors. Toaster was hidden in upper cab. Welcome platter appreciated! Google speaker wasn't functional for house tasks--light switching was complicated.

Stayed Jun 5, 2025Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: They need better beds, better pillows, and buy a new couch. The appliances were all state of the art but furniture and most importantly beds were hard and sheets were cheap, not soft. Location isn’t walkable to DT. I could never get anyone from Sanctuary to answer nor call me back. Disappointing.

Super quiet neighborhood convenient to walking on the beach and walking into town! Don't miss the self guided walking tour of the fairytale homes and an ebike tour of 17 mile road. Can't wait to come back!

Stayed Dec 2, 2024I had a great experience at Driftwood last week. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and it's a five minute walk to the beach. Driftwood is bright and sunny. I loved the outdoor spaces - both the front yard with the fire pit and backyard hot tub. I cooked every night in the lovely, well-equipped kitchen. It was a perfect stay and I look forward to returning soon!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house had a great layout with fenced front and back yards. The kitchen had new appliances. There was plenty of closet space for a month stay with a family of four. The master bathroom was recently updated and was fantastic. The home is less than a 10 minute walk to the Carmel Valley River Beach/end of Scenic Drive and about a 20 minute walk to Ocean Avenue. We had an issue with the disposal and the management team handled it right away.Would love to stay in this house again.
