perfect November rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We quite enjoyed our time at Sea salt and Caramel. The house is in a good location, however San Carlos still gets busy along that stretch at certain times of the day.we loved the modernized kitchen and bathrooms but did not like the counter top "dining table" - you really could not sit properly since there was no room for your legs.our favorite part of the house was the deck with the small dining table, couch and fire table. It is a lovely place to hang out, enjoy lunch or a drink in the late afternoon.

Sea Salt and Caramel

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Sea Salt and Caramel worked out jut fine. The location is perfect for anyone looking for quiet, walks to the beach, and lots of light. Nice for two singles or a family of four. Tight for four adults or more. A nice, downstairs guest suite provides extra privacy. Beautiful backyard, pretty to look at, less so for anything else. It worked well for two adults and a Doodle.

September 2023 - Sea Salt Caramel

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in Carmel for the month od September 2023. The home leased through Sanctuary Vacation Rental was perfect. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were very nice and the home easily accomodated our group of 6 adults. Fabulous views of the Carmel Highlands with many windows all around.The House Manager was responsive to several small issues which were resolved immediately. Overall a great experience - this is the 3rd year we have worked with Sanctuary Vacation Rentals and we will continue to use the company as our preferred source for stays in Carmel. The Staff and the General Manager areare wonderful and very customer focused.

Great stay in Carmel by the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I enjoyed this home in Carmel By The Sea for the entire month of September. Kitchen is upgraded and has all utensils, pots & pans, even spices. Master bedroom bath is upgraded, two sinks and good water pressure ! Mattress is solid without being concrete. Walking distance to town although far enough away to avoid noise and traffic. House does not have window coverings in living area which was an infrequent problem but on sunny days and evenings was a bit of an issue for a few hours. Not huge. No dining room table, but no room for one; and the photos clearly indicated no table. I used balcony table for a desk. Quick service from management company regarding internet. Would stay here again, and would stay with Sanctuary Vacation Rentals.

Perfect Home Away From Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my second month long stay in this lovely house. And I have already rented it again for next year! What is not to love. The location is quiet and removed from the often times congested downtown area, yet close enough to stroll into town whenever you want. I call this house “my treehouse” because the views from the living room and kitchen make me feel like I’m resting in treetops looking out over the hills in the Carmel River area. Sanctuary staff were always attentive and very helpful. The house was clean and very comfy. Can’t recommend it enough.

Excellent Home for Small Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is as good or better than the pictures! My wife and I travelled with our twin 3-year old's and it was the perfect setup. The downstairs was great for the kids to play while the adults could enjoy upstairs. The house was spotless on arrival and the housekeeping service was excellent for the duration. The house is about a 12-15 minute walk to Ocean Avenue or 15 minute walk to the beach (Carmel River State Beach). There is also a wonderful elementary school within a 10 minute walk with two playgrounds for children.Overall, we were thrilled with the house, the location, and overall experience. Would book again!

We are pleased to know that you were happy with the location of the home as well as the services that Sanctuary Vacation Rentals offered during your stay. We are sorry to have learned that you were not satisfied with some of the aspects of this home. Based on our recent conversation with you, it became apparent that your concerns were related to your personal preferences, rather than the actual condition of the house. More specifically, you informed us that the bed was a bit too high for your preference and you had some issues with the new couch in the living room. Our staff also adjusted the temperature of the refrigerator, as you had requested. For clarification purposes, we would like to point out that this home has new, high-end appliances, showers, toilets, faucets and furniture throughout. That being said, we do understand that some of these items may not be to every guest's personal taste. We had also learned that you were frustrated that the home was not available for you to re-book in 2021, due to another guest reservation already existing during the dates that you wished to stay. We would like to apologize about this as well. Because this is one of our more popular vacation homes in Carmel, our guests tend to book the home well in advance on the various online platforms that our homes are being advertised on. Should you ever wish to book a home on a recurring basis, please let our reservation specialists know as early as possible and we will be happy to work with you. We look forward to you staying with us again next year, as we see that you did book with us again for the same time period in 2021. Please know that we are here to assist should you need anything during your stay at any of our homes.

Lovely Carmel-by-the-Sea home--perfect location!

I loved my stay in this beautiful home! Smartly remodeled with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms - a rarity of space for this neighborhood! Short walk to the ocean and to shopping and restaurants. Excellent location! The kitchen is a gorgeous remodel. The windows bring in so much natural light and accentuate the serene Carmel Valley view of rolling green hills and trees. The deck is conveniently located right off the family room and allows you to enjoy the view all day - high above the neighbors - so no obstruction. The house comes with a large backyard and multiple outdoor sitting areas - a distinct advantage in this community. The street is quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend a vacation in this lovely home and neighborhood.

This is a wonderful home. You can tell that the owners put a lot of effort into making it a comfortable and welcoming place. It has beautiful views. The location is ideal - you can easily walk to the restaurants and shops. It is just minutes away from the beautiful walk along the coast. I highly recommend this place!
