Had a wonderful experience. We split timely between house and local Carmel attractions & entertainment. It was splendid. Home exceeded photos. Home vibe / hotel conveniences. Sanctuary personnel were attentive.

Perfect house for a girls trip
by Long Beach CA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
This house worked out perfectly for our first trip to Carmel. Everyone got a bed and it was nice and open so we could gather around a chat. It was close enough to town (only a $10 Uber) and the town is so cute. The beds were decently comfortable and showers were amazing. Only thing I would say is that should add more mirrors and especially a full length mirror so multiple people can get ready at the same time.

The house was perfect for our short 2 night stay. I would definitely book again. We walked to one of our favorite beaches, Carmel River beach. Beds comfortable, plenty of towels, not a thing to complain about. Sanctuary guest services were exceptional.

Carmel Pearl
by Wilmington NC
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We had a wonderful time at Carmel Pearl. It is in a great location--10 minutes from downtown Carmel and five minutes from a great shopping center for groceries as well as great meals. The house was immaculate. The outdoor deck is quite private and a good size for six adults. There was plenty of room in the driveway and right in front of the house for parking three cars. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals was a terrific company to deal with. They were professional and efficient, answering our questions immediately before and during our rental period. We would definitely recommend this rental company for any rental needs in the Carmel area.

Very nice stay in this four bedroom Carmel home
by Santa Cruz CA

Overall Comment
The house worked out really well for the five of us. It's very hard to find an affordable four bedroom home to rent in Carmel. This one fit the bill perfectly - nicely redone, very clean, easy location to everything, quiet neighborhood.

Perfectly modest home which exceeded all expectations
by ROYERSFORD PA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We were completely satisfied with the entire experience. A Sanctuary agent called me about a week in advance of our stay to welcome us, answer any questions, and even offer a few local recommendations. The home itself is in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We arrived to a spotless home, pleasant fragrance, soft music on the TV, lights on, and an enticing snack on the kitchen island. We have never felt so welcomed. The day after we checked in, a Sanctuary agent called me to see how we were doing. The attention to us, coupled with a clean home staged and waiting for us, provided us the best experience we have ever had (Vrbo). This home is a rarity. Great price, safe & secure, new amenities, and close to everything in the Carmel area. Five stars without any hesitation.

Thank You Sanctuary!

It was unanimous, as we all felt this home had the cleanest, most well-appointed, and most up to date renovations of all the homes we have stayed. Plus this home is nestled into a quiet and secure pocket in a peaceful residential neighborhood. The driveway had plenty of space, and the outdoors were neat and well tended to. The interior is the highlight. Modern kitchen, well-appointed bathrooms, plenty of sitting space in the main area, and plush bedding. We are an outdoorsy family, and this neighborhood is very convenient to the village of Carmel, as well as accessing the state parks and shopping (supermarket, Starbucks, etc.). After exploring the greater area each day, we felt very at peace returning to this modest home with a luxurious interior. Another key benefit and very satisfying experience here is dealing with Sanctuary (management co.). I received a phone call from one of their customer service folks in advance of our trip to pre-welcome us, and a follow up call the day after we arrived. Plus, the home was staged for our arrival... soft music on the TV, a bottle of wine, cheese & crackers, lights on, and as clean as could be. That made us feel truly welcome. Thank you Sanctuary!

Great stay!
by Westlake Village CA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
Great stay. Only suggestion is to add a couple of full length mirrors. Only 2 mirrors in the house are the two in the bathrooms. Makes it hard to get ready when 7 people are staying in the house. Also, trash cans in the bathroom. Water pressure in the smaller bathroom needs to be checked, it was barely dripping. None of these things really bothered us, but we would have liked. We might have missed it because it was stored somewhere else, but we didn’t see any outside furniture, so we couldn’t spend anytime in the beautiful yard. Also beach chairs.

by Atlanta, GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Beautiful renovated rental on a quiet cul-de-sac in Carmel. Our hosts were proactive and easy to deal with and the home was filled with everything we needed for a nice stay. Very comfortable bedrooms and excellent showers. Would highly recommend a stay here, very short walk or drive to all of the Carmel shops and restaurants and easy access to the highway.
