The home was just as advertised. Very comfortable space, great location, just stroll into downtown or longer walks down Ocean to Scenic.We were aware before we rented of the stairs, 4 flights of 5 stairs total. Renters should be aware if stairs are an issue. Thank you Sanctuary, we would recommend your services.

We loved this house. The skylights and open floor plan kept the house light, even on the dreariest days, it does get overcast in Carmel and light always brings about a sunnier mood. There are a lot of steps, which if you have walking issues would be a problem. However the levels created an open and airy feel. The appliances and amenities were top of the line and the clean lines of the house and lack of beach house clutter was appreciated. Great mattresses! The cozy backyard made it a morning ritual to sit outside with our little dogs. The house has a garage! We have been renting in Carmel for 16 years and had never stayed North of Ocean. I worried about busy traffic and no safe place to walk the dogs. This little street has no through traffic or non-permit parking. There was only one hill to walk up, which if you don’t want to be in the ultra busy center of town, is rare. To get any privacy away from bustle one normally should climb like a mountain goat, this was a breeze. I can’t say enough good things about the Sanctuary Vacation Rental staff and their attention to detail. If you call with a problem, we had two minor issues in two months, they are there immediately. You do have to go through guest bedroom to get out to the backyard, so if using the second bedroom need to workout a system. We had no issues with this.

Best location. Quiet neighbourhood. A little inconvenient the door to the back yard to let your dog out is in the guest bedroom. Lots of natural light. Except for kitchen window, the windows are too high to have a view. Kitchen a bit sparse but sufficient. A path near the property for shortcut to the beach. Would stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
Carmel Delight is built on a narrow steep lot, which means that there are lots of stairs to navigate. The house has four levels and the somewhat steep stairs could definitely be an issue for people with mobility issues. We loved that the house had recently been renovated so the kitchen and bathrooms were quite nice. The furnishings were rather basic and unfortunately not the most comfortable particularly the living room couch and chairs. The house was only sparsely decorated and didn’t really have a cozy vibe. We also felt that the kitchen was lacking, there were very few dishes, pots and utensils which made it challenging to cook and meant we had to run the dishwasher more often than we wanted to.We did however enjoy the little backyard with the patio, the fountain and the hot tub. We also liked the location, it was a short stroll into town and a thirty minute walk to the beach. We gave the property management only four stars because we had to accommodate a blind repair man and there were a few other small issues with the property for which we needed to call maintenance. In general the property management company was excellent though and their maintenance personnel was polite .
