lots of character
Overall Comment
Came to stay with some friends and we had a great time. The home was clean, smelled nice, lots of little cozy spaces. 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!

spring break visit
Overall Comment
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.

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!!

summer break in carmel-by-the-sea
Overall Comment
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.

quiet house, peaceful location
Overall Comment
This property is great for groups. We had six adults and one toddler, and there was plenty of space of all of us to be comfortable. Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom, and there is an extra bathroom in one of the family rooms. There are two "wings" of the house located on either side of the foyer, with bedrooms and family rooms on each side. The kitchen is well equipped and pleasant. The property management company was very helpful and professional. I would definitely use them again.

great stay at carmel nest
Overall Comment
The house was very nice and allowed for quite a bit of privacy for our fellow travelers. It is a very short drive to downtown Carmel which was an added bonus for us since we had an event to attend there. We loved that every bedroom had a bathroom and there was plenty of room to hang out. The property manager was available at all times and was very helpful.

Our stay was incredible! First, the proximity to Carmel Beach was awesome. It was at most a 5 minute drive. Second, the place was spacious and incredibly large and accommodating. The place also had incredibly new kitchen appliances and washing machines, etc.

super vacation rental
Overall Comment
We gathered here as a family to participate in a familial wedding. We had three separate couples and a single and everyone was content with their bedrooms and ensuite. We loved the angularity of the house inside and the many common rooms. The kitchen worked well although we mostly ate out. All the appliances are there and a washer and dryer. Ironing board and iron provided as well. Never watched the TVs although there seemed like one in every room! The neighborhood is great, walkable and friendly. The location is excellent and the whole area is quiet. When not at functions we spent our time walking the beaches in Carmel and Monterey. Endless beach! The weather was spectacularly sunny and pleasant. Not the usual, I gathered. The company and people were easy to work with and the pictures are what's there and much more. Don't hesitate to rent this property.

Overall Comment
We had a lovely stay at the Carmel Nest! The location is great -- easy to get to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea or on the highways to nearby towns, and a beautifully quiet neighborhood. The home is beautifully appointed and well-cared-for. I enjoyed working on the back patio while my dog lounged in the sun, and the kids loved having a second "kids room."

This home was very comfortable for me and my two sisters. It was helpful to have the shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in each bathroom along with plenty of towels. I would recommend getting a new Keurig maker. Overall we loved our stay!

Family of six with 2 dogs had a pleasant stay at Carmel Nest. There was plenty of space for all of us to enjoy time together but also private time. Location is a bit far from the beach but we made the walk back and forth a couple of times during our stay. Very peaceful location.

Overall Comment
We had two families and dogs with us and this was a great place to stay. The rooms are far enough apart that it felt like we had our own spaces, but there are a few common areas to come together. The kitchen is well stocked, the house is clean, and Carmel is lovely. We had a great time and will certainly come back.
