About this house rental
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.
This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

This was a great experience overall. We are both workaholics in high stress demanding jobs, with me traveling internationally to Asia and Europe on a regular basis, we never make time for ourselves, we really enjoyed being able slow down and enjoy the property and the beauty of the property (gardens). Thank you,Craig and Donna

Reviewer Comments:
This was a very nice property. The garden and backyard are the highlights. The home was a good landing spot for a weekend in Carmel for 3 adults. It has a "grandma's house" vibe with dated furnishings, but it has the basics and it was nice and clean. I found communicating with the property management to be impersonal with automated responses that weren't particularly helpful. On the plus side, I could tell things were well run and professionally managed. We all enjoyed our stay overall.
