About this property

3776 Stonehill ~ Gardens, Walk to Downtown, Available for Extended Stays!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Stonehill”! Home sleeps up to 4 guests.

A Craftsman-style home with impressive views and a mid-century modern vibe offers a peaceful retreat in a quiet neighborhood of Carmel-by-the-Sea, close enough to walk to downtown but away from the hustle and bustle of the main thoroughfares.

The two-bedroom, two-bath house, built in 1955, offers ocean sunset vistas through large windows as well as on its wrap-around deck. Gardens filled with trees, succulents and Ceanothus contain private patios behind a historic stone wall, with a variety of seating areas, perfect for quiet contemplation or admiring the birds and butterflies that come to visit.

The 1,435-square-foot residence is within easy walking distance from Carmel Plaza, a premier shopping center with wine tasting rooms, shopping and restaurants, and downtown Carmel’s art galleries, fine dining and upscale boutiques. It’s also just a 10-minute drive to golf and dining in Pebble Beach®, or attractions such as Pacific Grove’s butterfly trees and the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row.

Living Spaces:
A style mingling mid-century modern with an eclectic mix of unique and antique furnishings highlights this home. The living room features a sitting area near a 42-inch HDTV, and another around the gas fireplace, with comfortable Danish modern-style couches. An adjacent desk offers a place to set up a laptop computer and a small library that includes books on local history.
Views of the ocean, Monterey pines and cypress, and the coastal hills are made possible by the large west-facing windows, and guests will be certain to enjoy sunsets either inside the living room or outside on the patio.

Multi-level flagstone patios outside offer a variety of places to read, meditate, or just enjoy the sunshine, with a chaise lounge and other seating available along with an outdoor table for dining and a small pond.

Kitchen and Dining
The bright kitchen has a vintage Wedgewood gas stove with six burners and two ovens, in addition to cheerful blue countertops, white cabinetry and hardwood floors.
An adjacent dining area with seating for six shares the views with the cozy living room. Well-equipped for extended stays!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Both bedrooms have new organic queen-sized mattresses from Monterey Mattress and hardwood floors.

Bedroom #1 features coastal interiors in tones of sea foam, blue and white, a queen bed, and a wealth of storage space, with built-in shelves and drawers in addition to cedar-lined closets.
The en suite bathroom has a standing shower.

Bedroom #2 features a vintage vanity, a fabric headboard and views of the garden patios.
The en suite bathroom has a bath tub.

Both bathrooms adjoin one another in a Jack-and-Jill arrangement, making it convenient for guests in either bedroom to access either the shower or the bath tub.

A new washer and dryer is conveniently located in the kitchen.

Two driveways allow for off street parking for up to 3 cars. The small, private lane on which the house sits, does not allow for parking on the lane itself. Additional parking is 1/2 block away.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum.

This home is a monthly rental and we request that all nights of your stay are within the same calendar month. Some exceptions may be possible, with the approval of our team and the homeowner. Extended stays are often possible.

Loved Stonehill

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 the 3 Summer months at Stonehill in Carmel. It was wonderful. The smallish home is vintage 50's with huge windows and clean easy styling. The large kitchen featured a vintage gas stove that we loved to cook on. The home is walkable to the beach and village and did so daily. There are hills so be prepared for that. The yard is spacious and we spent a lot of time there. We would love to return to this property. Highly recommend

October getaway!!

We have traveled to Carmel since the early 70’s. Now newly retired we decided to book a place for a month. This little home offered us a great experience. It is cozy and well equipped with kitchen needs. We had a bit of a challenge with some plumbing issues but the property management staff helped to get a prompt resolve. IF we decide to book another vacation next year we would consider booking through Sanctuary again, if not for this place then a different one in the area.

Very comfortable and great views.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well equipped kitchen, and parking availability was OK. The house could use some attention in furnishings, and it had an odd bathroom set up with only one shower. The walls are thin, so noise from neighbors is not damped much, especially the yapping dogs next door. Outside is wonderful with plenty of space. Overall we had a good stay.

Great spot, helpful management

We had a great stay. The house is great, convenient and the outside space is really nice. Really nice layout and makes you feel at home. House gets incredible sunlight almost all day and the later afternoon is special. Probably should add a second shower instead of just tub. Management was very helpful and proactive. Carmel is an amazing town.

Great sunset view

House has an amazing panoramic window to watch the sunset every night. Great location within walking distance to town & the beach. And the backyard space is huge, with many different seating areas. The house had a few issues, which is unfortunate during Covid because I wanted to avoid anyone coming in the house. The guests prior to me must have had a pet that soiled the carpet. As there was a terrible smell. When I lifted up the carpet, there was a large stain. Only after scrubbing for a few days, did the smell come out. The oven & stove are very old, and only seemed to stay at one temperature. So cooking was not easy. The kitchen sink also does not drain. And some of the blinds were broken. It would be great if there were thorough maintenance checks between guests, to avoid these issues. There was also construction every day at the house right across the street. So there were often trucks blocking the driveway. Although the road is private, there are cars driving up and down, and parked along the road all day. So there actually isn’t a lot of privacy. I stayed during a quiet season. So I can’t imagine what it’s like during summer. Overall, my stay was great because of the great weather and empty beaches. But for the price you pay with all of the fees (plus having to pay for utilities!), I had expected a better maintained house.

Carmel house.

Property was as pictured. One of best outdoor areas I’ve seen. House was fairly old but well maintained. Unfortunately there was construction (new roof) going on across the driveway and days were filled with a fair amount of noise. Shades and curtains old and inadequate and needs a king bed. Great location to the activities in town.

The patio is very spacious with beautiful flowers. Hope to be back next year!
