Charming Gardens and Peaceful Stay
by Woodbury MN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
The Robert Jones home was just great for a girls’ trip to Carmel. It was clean, quiet and had all we needed as a jumping off point for shopping in Carmel, tidepooling in Asilomar, hiking at Point Lobos and going to great bakeries in Monterey. I’d definitely stay again.

Robert R. Jones House
by Lodi CA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
It was very peaceful and serene. Time to sleep in and enjoy the surroundings. Walks around the neighborhood and enjoy the beauty. Meeting friendly neighbors was a definite plus. Cool weather was a much-needed respite from the triple digit goal to enjoy the quiet and solitude. The Robert R. Jones House fit the bill exactly. However, for the money expended, the house, although from the 50's and very quaint and charming, should have a disposal in the kitchen. At least disclose this in future advertisements for this lovely home. The kitchen drawers could have had a better cleaning. The garden in front and back are exquisite. Very private and yet open to all nature surrounding it. The bed linens were of great quality; the bathroom towels were amply provided. The instant hot water in the kitchen and bathrooms was greatly appreciated, as was the lighting in the principal bathroom for putting on makeup and getting ready each day.
Above all, the quaintness of the home, the gorgeous gardens and the quietness of the neighborhood gave us both the down time we needed to give our spirits and bodies a much-needed vacation from the daily stress of our lives.

Cute home with lots of character in a quiet location and walking distance to town. We loved the garden and was just right for us and our son and his partner.

Fabulous Getaway

Recently spent a week with friends at this wonderful house in Carmel. With its two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it offered plenty of privacy for all of us! The kitchen is fully equipped, we wanted for nothing! The gardens, front and back are stunning and very private. Five minute drive to everything!

A fantastic bungalow with garden
by PORTLAND OR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
Everything about this cozy comfortable mid-century home hit the mark for us. Starting with Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design and a delightful front garden. Mornings we were serenaded by woodpeckers and other birds in the garden. The back had a sweeping view of costal trees and the house made the most of its garden and forest views. Furnishings and beds were comfortable and the place very clean. It is a bit of a walk to downtown Carmel, sightseeing the adorable homes of Carmel were why we stayed there. Sanctuary Vacations made everything easy. We would stay here again.

The House and Gardens Were So Lovely!
by Bar Harbor. ME
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The house and gardens were so lovely we could spent the entire week relaxing in this home. But easy walking distance to the beach and town as well as driving distance to Pt Lobos and Monterey Bay Aquarium made local exploring delightful. Nice to return home for relaxed family meals.

The Home was a Perfect Place for Us!
by San Antonio, TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The home was a perfect place for us - we wanted somewhere we could assimilate into the local community. It is larger than you think and we loved the open windows at both sides of the living area. The front yard was a particular favorite- we sat and drank our afternoon beverage while enjoying the sunset. The owners managing agent were extremely responsive- we had an issue with the bathroom (of our own making) and they fixed it within a couple of hours. A quiet and peaceful location that we will surely return to.

We enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving with our family. Very private and peaceful home with gorgeous views from all the windows like a sanctuary. We had everything we needed to feel at home! It was very clean and comfortable. Nice touch with the puzzles.

Great Carmel Hideaway
by Palm Desert CA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
This property is on a quiet street with lush landscaped front & back yard areas. Home is cozy and charming. Kitchen and baths are dated but very well equipped. No complaints. Brandon @ Sanctuary even brought us all new bed pillows when we mentioned they were too soft!! The best service and attention from this company. Easy walk to town down Camino Del Monte to Junipero (takes you right to Vesuvio restaurant, park, Brunos deli etc).Carmel beach is the best! Will definitely return.

Quaint in Carmel
by Carrollton TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We recently enjoyed a few days at the Robert Jones house in Carmel. The size was perfect for two couples. We didn't cook at home but the kitchen seemed well equipped to do so. It's an older home but has been well maintained. The outdoor space is perfect for enjoying a beverage and a book.

Charming cottage, great customer service, A+++

We had an A+++ experience with sanctuary vacation rental at the Robert R. Jones House. The gardens were stunning and you could see the passion the owners have to this gem. Quietly neighbor was close to everything! And the customer service was top notch -- every request met, always checked in to see if we needed anything, lovely welcome gifts, and spotlessly clean.
