About the property

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.

we're returning -- same time next year :)

Overall Comment

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!

beautiful garden house

Overall Comment

We had pets so having a nice sized beautiful fenced backyard made it easier for us to enjoy the property. The interior was simple, organized and clean. The house itself is old but for sure has a charm to it. We enjoyed our stay there so much and the house really made it easy to travel with pets. The rental company calling to check up on us if we needed any assistance on the property was really nice and appreciated!

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

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.

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.
