About this house rental

Located in Carmel by the Sea, this charming house for $398 per night is a great option for your next break. Welcome to your Carmel-by-the-Sea home away from home. Can you already feel a cool ocean breeze on your skin? Smell the salty air with hints of Carmel Pine trees? Hear the breaking waves in the distance? Relaxation sets in even before you open the gate to The Salty Dog! Inside, a lush, private garden courtyard with a welcoming fire pit awaits you. This home features four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms to accommodate up to seven people nicely. The expansive front of the house boasts a luxury (and private) outdoor living space with a beautiful stone patio, sofa seating, and a dining area to create a peaceful, open-air setting. The circular seating around the fire pit allows for conversation, snuggling with a great book, or quiet reflection. Upon entering our recently-renovated and light-filled home, a welcome tote bag with goodies will be waiting for you! Inside you’ll find a gas fireplace that opens to both the living and dining areas. The living room has a large art frame, smart TV, and a new comfy sofa and oversized chair. An entire wall of glass looks out onto the front patio and garden. The fully-equipped kitchen has modern appliances, an oven, a gas stove, plenty of storage, espresso maker, coffee maker, high-end juicer, ice maker, and so much more. A dutch door leads to the side yard and back deck with a freestanding gas BBQ, commercial outdoor heater, and another private seating area. The main level also features two guest bedrooms (one double and one queen bed), one bathroom, a laundry area with a washer, a dryer, clothesline, iron, and ironing board. A dutch door provides access to the back deck. To access the primary bedroom and the upper balcony deck, you must be able to climb stairs. The upstairs boasts a third guest bedroom (queen bed) and a spacious primary bedroom (king bed). Both bedrooms access the recently remodeled bathroom. An entire wall of windows looks out onto the treetops with an ocean view! There is a second fireplace and a walk-in closet in the primary bedroom. Each bedroom has a dutch door leading to the upper deck. The detached office cottage has a tv, a new leather sofa, and room to work on a puzzle or have a game/movie night! The recently remodeled space also serves as a quiet office, separate from the main house. A desk, printer, and some office supplies are provided. A wall of windows and French doors lead to the front garden, stone patio, and fire pit. The upper deck is a spacious oasis with gorgeous distant ocean views, stunning sunsets, neighborhood forest views, and comfortable seating around a fire pit. We have a driveway and a parking spot in front of the house. We do not have a garage. The Salty Dog is located on the north end of Carmel-by-the-Sea and adjacent to the Pescadero Canyon. (The property is located on San Carlos Street between Alta and Vista. The VRBO location site is sometimes inaccurate, so it's best to refer to a Carmel map to verify the home's location.) It is an eight-block walk to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea with its famed restaurants and shops, or a ten-block walk to the beach along our village’s charming streets. The Forest Hill Park, nestled within the neighborhood forest, is just around the corner from The Salty Dog and offers a playground, public restrooms, a basketball half-court, public pickleball courts, and public tennis courts. Please note: The Salty Dog is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood, and we expect our guests to be respectful. Absolutely NO smoking or parties are allowed or loud outdoor music or conversations after 10:00 pm. Only the contracted guest may have one pre-approved dog stay at the house. Other visitors may not bring their pet(s).

My husband and I along with our papillon had a wonderful stay at the Salty Dog! The house is so very comfortable and the owners have thought of everything you need for a month stay, such as a completely appointed kitchen to cozy blankets for enjoying the very special fire pits. The robes in every bedroom were an additional thoughtful touch. Also, the owners were very responsive with any questions we had. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and highly recommend the Salty Dog for a special house to stay in a very special place!

Everywhere you look inside the Salty Dog reflects the good taste of our hosts. The house is easy to live in and while the space is compact it is perfect. The house is nicer than the photos which are themselves an accurate reflection of the house. The location is quite lovely although there are hills, as there are everywhere in Carmel by the Sea. It is easy to get around and in truth I can only say it is a lovely way to spend a month. The hosts are very responsive and there are touches throughout the house which reflect the hosts welcoming touches for guests. From slippers to coasters it is home run. Thank you for sharing your lovely property, Mary Beier

For the month of December my husband and I stayed in this lovely home snuggled into a beautiful Carmel neighborhood with more than a glimpse of the ocean and just a short walk to the charming town of Carmel by the Sea. In our last two weeks we were joined by our four grown children. Plenty of room for all and worked really well for those who were working remote especially the extra detached office space. The home was decorated in a cool California coastal vibe with awesome outdoor spaces. The kitchen was a large enough space to cook our meals and appointed with everything you could want or need from pots and pans to cooking utensils and so much more than any other home we have ever rented. This house felt much more like we were staying at a good friends home than a place we were renting. What did we love the most: the fireplaces and fire pits, the views of the ocean and the sunset from the upstairs deck, the large windows everywhere that let in so much light and the twinkling stars, the cozy beds, the light fixtures and art everywhere, the quiet super-safe neighborhood and friendly neighbors, the daily walks into town and then to the ocean along the scenic drive, the wonderful boutique shopping and so many awesome restaurants, and the very handy mobile AP Brandi created was extremely helpful with answers to any questions you might have about the workings of the house as well as the handiest interactive map I used countless times to find my way back home! Brandi was a delightful and very responsive host and checked in with us just enough to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. Thank you Brandi for sharing your beautiful home! We hope you would have us back to stay .....a magical home in a magical town.

Ideal location near everything, complete privacy, elaborate amenities and owner responsiveness doubtfully needed in a lovely 4b/2b garden home. At a reasonable price. What are you waiting for?

Good location with a very comfortable layout. The property is very well equipped with kitchen items, linens, throws and three TVs. The office area is an extra bonus as family members or young children can watch TV, play games or just visit separate from the main house. Brandi was outstanding as she always received our phone call or returned our call within minutes. The owners are also very thorough with literature covering every process associated with the house and visiting the area.
