Real Garden Sanctuary

Overall Comment
The Garden Sanctuary is just that, a place of refuge and safety. It is well maintained and the Garden was the star for me! Beautiful grounds makes for a relaxing stay very quiet and totally private in a very nice safe neighborhood. Everything you need for a comfortable getaway. Very responsive ownership and provided great suggestions for area dining.
This rental is home away from home. We found it easy location to downtown Carmel and every area attraction. Highly recommend

Charming home in a great vacation spot
by Phoenix AZ
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
Our family stayed here for 4 days. The house is very charming, and has some character. It is definitely older, creaking floors and all. It was well equipped with everything you might need in the kitchen, and pretty clean overall. We had an ant issue - we spotted them on a regular basis in the living area and kitchen. Also spotted some spider webs, as well as 1 daddy long legs on the kitchen ceiling. Not enough to be a huge issue, but definitely an annoyance, especially with young babies. And speaking of, the living area and dining furniture is definitely not conducive to a family with little ones. THe couch is super shallow, and uncomfortable, and the tables were glass, and everything slid all over as there were no area rugs of any kind. THe beds were great though, and the back and front yards were great areas to hang out in.

The home was beautiful and in a quiet serene location — close to everything. We definitely felt at home in this home away from home. The house was clean and had everything we needed.the backyard was a true pleasure. I would recommend this home to anyone looking to get away and spend time in gorgeous and charming Carmel!

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 loved staying here for the month. Both of us were able to WFH comfortably, and our sweet dog LOVED the backyard. The view from the living room, dining room, and master bedroom was gorgeous, too, with the lovely backyard, huge trees, and hills in the background. Very clean; had all amenities we needed. Quick drive to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
