Capture the full charm of the Carmel-by-the-Sea experience in this tidy 1242 square feet, two+ bedroom, two-bath cottage that is within walking distance of the heart of the village, with its many shops, boutiques, art galleries and award-winning restaurants. This sweet one-story home is in a quiet and sunny neighborhood.

A seashore motif, replete with shells, driftwood and soft sun-washed colors of sea-foam blue, sand and white, melds with Pottery Barn flair to produce an environment that is sophisticated yet offers total relaxation and escape. The spacious living room features a coved ceiling with spot lighting, three large paned windows with white shutters that allow in lots of light, hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. Comfortable yet stylish furnishings are accessorized with plenty of pillows and soft, textured throws.

Enjoy gourmet meals in a separate dining room - with built-in cabinetry and a view out through hydrangeas and an orange tree to the street - that can seat six people at the sturdy wooden farmhouse table. Place settings and table linens are provided. Adjacent is the fully-equipped kitchen with its cabinetry painted in a deep ocean blue, tile floor, a self-cleaning gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and various small appliances. A separate laundry room with stacking washer-dryer is just off the kitchen. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Perfect for me

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: The house was very comfortable.loved the little sunroom at the back.I have to say the sofa in the living room is a bit stained and worn, and the living room rug is a shedding machine! All in all though the house worked well for me. The kitchen is a bit dated, but was well equipped and provided all that i needed. A very home-like place...with friendly neighbors.One more thing ...the backyard is 99% decking but had just enough ground space for my dog to relieve herself!The backyard was full of moldy dog poop when I arrived, but one phone call to the property managers , and someone was sent out and cleaned the yard. They were also very considerate about notifying me if anyone needed to come to work outside. I would recommend Sanctuary Vacations to anyone, and will likely use them again.

An O.K. Stay

The exterior of the home is quaint and well maintained. Several small fruit trees provide a seasonal treat depending on the month/season. Backyard is private with a large deck. Barbecue is provided along with dining table and chairs.. Only one chaise lounge is available. A second would be a nice addition. Pleasant decor inside is evocative of a Pottery Barn makeover. Nice but far from top of the line. The "beachy" touches shown in the photos are somewhat misleading, as a walk to the nearest beach will be a haul for most. Because the home is two blocks from an exit off of Route 1, the street location receives more cut-through traffic than most in the immediate area. Still, the neighborhood is quiet in the evenings. A large and always-full parking area with several cars sits across the street and is a bit of an eyesore, but obviously out of control for the property owner. The biggest shortcoming to this home is its small kitchen. It starts with a lack of a dishwasher, compounded by an old sink and the lack of a dish drying rack, which was subsequently supplied by the property manager. The kitchen supplies are de minimus. It's apparent that the little was invested in the kitchen and laundry room when the cottage was remodeled. The whole area should be gutted, expanded and modernized. As an older home, many of the electrical sockets aren't equipped with 3 way plugs, making it inconvenient to move electronic devices from room to room. Adapter cable were not made available. Again, these should be updated. Old radiant heaters remain from the original cottage. These make it hard to regulate the heat if needed. The fireplace is not gas lit, so you will need starter fuel plus supply your own logs. No A/C, though you would find few days when you may need it in Carmel. That said, only a very few windows have screens and some window cranks are balky. Hence, you may be susceptible to insects or a lack of good cross ventilation when needed. The third "bedroom" in the home is practically worthless. Located in a former back porch area that is only accessible via a walk through the master bedroom. The bed takes up the entire room area. Walk into the room and you practically dive into bed. A more practical solution would be to convert this room back into a screened back porch with a hide-a-bed , including a separate exterior entrance. Net: An O.K. rental but better values can be found in the Carmel area.

Perfect, perfect, perfect!

Can't remember when we have enjoyed a vacation more! Casa Fina is so welcoming and comfortable and it was such a treat to call it our home for five fabulous days! My morning walks to the village and ocean with my 11 year old daughter was a perfect way to start each day! From the moment we walked in (the wine and cheese, so special) we wanted for nothing, there attention to every detail is amazing. The towels, linens and robes were very luxurious. Normally we do not like to cook on vacations, however, we found it hard to leave Casa Fina in the evenings. Our evening fires, music and wine tastings made cooking even seem fun (the kitchen has everything you would ever need and a grill on the patio). Thank you for making our stay in Carmel unforgettable! Dave and Vikki Rugg Lincoln,CA P.S. Our six year old Grandson Connor, really summed it up “Nana and Papa, I don't ever want to leave”!

A "home" to come home to!

After a day filled with exploring, tasting, eating, people watching or dog walking, it is wonderful coming back to a place that envelops you in privacy and comfort. Beauty surrounds you - soft, comforting colors; rooms you can put your feet up in; lush couches in the living room or private, cushy beds and pillows to fall into in bedrooms that welcome a tired shopper or traveller. Dinner available practically around the corner; or better yet, a well equipped kichen for cooking your favorite fare to share in the inviting dining room, formal or casual, your choice. The luxury of two separate bathrooms, with "spa" like amenities, one must take advantage of to enjoy without having to "book" a time at some other location. Here is the perfect home away from home where anyone can find relaxation and familiarity!

Long weekend

We had a wonderful time staying here in the hills of Carmel! The house was even better than the pictures depicted. We had a wonderful weekend with riding our bikes all over Carmel and the 17 mile drive. It was very easy to get to town on our bikes, somewhat more work coming home, but we found the roads that were less steep. Comfortable beds, and nice showers, with good lighting were a pleasant surprise. The neighborhood was very quiet. I'm sure you will enjoy staying here as much as we did! We are already looking forward to our next stay here.

Sunny, comfortable Carmel Cottage

We were looking for a comfortable, yet classy place to enjoy Carmel when we found this unique little spot. We can highly recommend this newly renovated "beachy" cottage which we found located in a quaint, convenient location on a quiet street with friendly neighbors. The cottage is well appointed and bright with total comfort! The sofa and chair in the living room made us feel right at home, and the back yard with spacious deck provided ample space for a relaxing BBQ. We can't wait to return to this cozy cottage!
