    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mixed review. House is generally great. Not right on the coast, but a bit of a view. Large, comfortably sleeps a lot of people. Held a small wedding in the back yard - daughter was thrilled with it as a very small, picturesque private location with cottage/fairy tale vibes. Complaints:1. Doors from inside to back outdoor fire pit area were literally zip tie closed. Multiple of them. This was the main access area to the back and it was, inexplicably, locked down. Extremely inconvenient.2. No ocean access and mixed messaging about it. There's a path behind/along the house to some benches on an overlook, but guests have no access. Signs, camera, and written house rules do clearly communicate this. But the rental company rep who was on site when we arrived and gave us a tour also very clearly told us that we *did* have access to the beach path - we just needed to get the gate code - which caused confusion. 3. Typical gate-keepy rich people neighbors, HOA, and owner. We had some people hop the fence to go down to the ocean. Again, Sanctuary rental rep told us we were able to use it. The entire community apparently then lost its collective mind. Neighbors, HOA president, and owner started flipping out, owner was blowing up the rental company's phone, threatening to kick us out. Someone called the cops, who did show up.4. Back is not very secluded - neighbors can see very clearly into the back yard. During short wedding ceremony, seemingly nosy neighbor appeared to be monitoring it all from her back deck.

    My fiance and I rented this property for our wedding weekend. It was beautiful. Truly perfect. I am absolutely amazed by this place, the owners, and Sanctuary who manages the property. We made a lifetime worth of memories and absolutely loved our stay and hope the property will be available for rental in the future. If you’re interested in visiting Carmel, this is the place to stay. Honestly… a month would’ve been better. We only stayed about 4 days and it wasn’t enough. The details and artwork are GORGEOUS. I honestly might be willing to give my first born to be here once a year. If you’re the owner or sanctuary rentals- y'all are really doing god’s work. Thank you for making our weekend so special.
