3855 Carmel Nest - Mid-Century Home & Guest Suite

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Carmel Nest"! This home sleeps 6 to 8 guests.

This home is a 2,650 sf classic Mid-Century Modern with a Carmel, California twist. With 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2 living room/media areas, it’s a good base for your coastal adventure.

Living Spaces
A drought-resistant, beautifully-landscaped front yard and stone patio, welcome you to the property. A Dutch door leads to a roomy foyer with high ceilings that features an open wood staircase leading up to the primary suite, and access to a charming brick patio. Two chaise lounges, 2 chairs and a gas grill make for a relaxing outdoor experience.

Wood-paneled walls adorn most rooms, while floors are brick or richly-hued wood. Off the entry, you’ll find a family room with wood flooring and two sofas, one of which opens to a queen sofa bed. The room is equipped with a sink, microwave and a 46” TV. The fireplace is decorative only.

A media room off the kitchen has brick flooring accented with a colorful rug. Enjoy your favorite programming on the 42” TV, while lounging comfortably on the large sofa, or one of 2 roomy chairs. This room is also home to the washer and dryer.

Kitchen and Dining
The kitchen is covered in rich-wood floors and a skylight that brightens the space. A breakfast nook sits next to a window where you can enjoy the morning sun. Gourmet appliances include a 6-burner gas Zline range, Samsung refrigerator with 2 freezer drawers and an in-door water/ice dispenser, Bosch dishwasher and all the small appliances you’ll need for a great stay. The center of the kitchen is u-shaped with a stone countertop that accommodates seating for two. Both Keurig and drip coffee makers provide options for your morning brew.
The formal dining room is set with a wood table and 6 chairs. Two comfy occasional chairs occupy opposite corners.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1: Take the stairs in the foyer to the primary suite which occupies the upper floor. The spacious suite boasts striking wood floors, a king bed in a seagrass bed frame, nightstands with lamps, a comfy chair and a 50” TV set on an Asian themed dresser. The en suite bath features stone tile flooring, a large shower, a closet and a Toto toilet.

Downstairs, Bedroom #2 features a king bed, twin nightstands with lamps, a dresser, 2 chairs and an en suite bathroom. A stone tile floor graces the bathroom that includes a shower over tub, a commode and a closet where linens are tucked neatly away.

The 4th full bathroom is located inside the media room and it has a standing shower.

It’s a short drive or walk to town along the quiet streets. Stroll down Ocean Avenue to the sandy stretch of beach, one of the only area beaches where dogs can frolic off-leash. Explore the streets of the village where you’ll find wine tasting venues, gourmet grocery stores and delis, world-class restaurants, cafes, shops and art galleries. A short drive takes you to The Crossroads, The Barnyard and Carmel Rancho shopping centers where you’ll find even more services, restaurants and shopping. Plan a day trip or two to explore Carmel Valley, Big Sur, Pacific Grove and Monterey and discover the unique aspects of the Monterey Peninsula.

We enjoyed our visit - it is a peaceful spot on the hill near Carmel, and is a great base for doing things in the area.The kitchen initially was short of basic things, such as enough pans and wine glasses, but staff was very quick to address those concerns.

Wonderful stay in Carmel

We had three couples stay for three nights. It was a great house as there were three bedrooms with three baths; so we all got privacy but also a way to have communal meals and time together. The area is quiet and within easy driving to 17 mile drive and the aquarium.

Lots of character

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: Came to stay with some friends and we had a great time. The home was clean, smelled nice, lots of little cozy spaces. The only thing I would have wanted to change was the mattress on the king downstairs is very plush and I sunk a little too much. Other than that, things worked well and the house is great!

Epic Mother/daughter trip

Our Senior girls in High School wanted to take a trip with their mothers for Sprjng Break and this was the best trip. The house was amazing with many seating places we could use for our group. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The house was walkable to the town if people wanted to go down the beach or get coffee in town. Lots of beautiful flowers around too to enjoy. Thanks for a lovely stay and for the memories.

Excellent place in Carmel!

Our family of 9 including children had a great stay at the Carmel nest property by Santuary Vacation Rentals. I would have given the property more than 5 stars if it was possible. It is large house that’s been beautifully maintained with tasteful interiors. The location is amazing in a quite residential neighborhood less than 5mins drive to ocean ave. I highly recommend it. A small feedback for the property managers - the hvac system heats some rooms more than others which can make it uncomfortable in both the hot and cold room. Also, two of the toilets were not getting drained properly. Please fix these. Everything else is great.

Lovely House in Carmel

+ The house is well equipped. Property management very responsive. Easy check in. Clean & plenty of space. Good quiet location. Easy access to Carmel, beaches, state parks, Monterey etc. A lovely time - We found the beds uncomfortably squishy. Platforms protrude about 4 inches beyond mattresses -- bumping hazard esp in the dark. Also pillows are some weird lumpy foam.

The location is great -- easy to get to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea or on the highways to nearby towns, and a beautifully quiet neighborhood. The home is beautifully appointed and well-cared-for. I enjoyed working on the back patio while my dog lounged in the sun, and the kids loved having a second "kids room."

Summer Break 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 very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed with friends and family at 3855 Carmel Nest in late July for 6 nights. The house was very spacious, clean and comfortable. It has multiple areas to hang-out, watch TV or play games so that the kids and adults can do individual activities whenever wanted. The house is walking distance to downtown Carmel but it is a tougher walk back from downtown due to the hilly nature of Carmel by the Sea. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay, and we will be back in the future.

Beautiful home in a great location

Overall our stay was great. The home is beautiful and in a wonderful location. We were able to walk to town from the house which was nice. Unfortunately the heater was not working properly during our stay. The property management team was prompt about responding and sending someone out to look at it, but it was a more complicated fix and could not be fixed during our stay. The management team was helpful and worked with me on this issue which I appreciated. Even with the heater issue, we still enjoyed our stay here and especially loved exploring Carmel and the surrounding towns.

Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom, and there is an extra bathroom in one of the family rooms. There are two "wings" of the house located on either side of the foyer, with bedrooms and family rooms on each side. The kitchen is well equipped and pleasant. The property management company was very helpful and professional. I would definitely use them again.

Carmel Nest

We enjoyed our stay. The house had two separate "wings" which made for a good amount of privacy for all of us. We loved that each bedroom (+ media room) had a bathroom. We would have preferred firmer beds. Also, the driving directions were confusing and didn't work for us (driving south on hgwy 1). We ended up using GPS and it worked out fine. You may want to consider removing those directions from the documents you send out to renters. The property managers were very responsive when I needed to communicate with them. Thank you for that!

Spring break visit

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 house was exactly as described. Great location. Nicely equipped kitchen with good appliances. The welcome bottle of Pinot Noir and cheese was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed walking 15-20 min to town to enjoy the local coffee shops and the beach every morning. One evening we walked to dinner and it was very easy to get an Uber back home for $7. (Did not want to walk up the hill with a full belly). A couple of minor challenges: the king bed in the main room has a very soft mattress/memory foam topper and we like firm beds. The heating seems to only work in one section of the house and even in the lowest heat setting it seemed to stay on constantly despite my attempts at changing the thermostat settings. We ended up keeping it off and using the small space heaters available in all the rooms. Overall we had a great time and would book this house again in the future.

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: AWESOME experience! Very nice neighborhood! The house was great. There are 3 bedroom suites with updated bathrooms and the locations are all spread put so everyone has privacy. Extra full bath off the family room for overflow. Location is great but it would be a rather long walk to downtown. If it were not in the dead of winter, we would have walked but it was only a 5 minute drive! We did not use the exterior areas as we were there in the winter, but it looked nice! Kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of napkins, laundry detergent, baggies, and other necessities. Sanctuary rentals was THE BEST! When we walked in the door there was a smoke detector chirping. I called and a maintenance person was there in 10 MINUTES!!! I would stay here again!!
