Moonglow: Forest tranquility minutes from downtown Carmel.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (221)
"This serene cottage was exactly what we needed. The bed was impressively comfortable and allowed us to get full night's of sleep, which is not the norm. The location could not have been better, central to everything but nestled away to provide the quiet we desired. The patio itself was a little oasis away from the hustle of daily life. And Chuck and Diane were absolutely wonderful, welcoming hosts."

"What an incredibly comfortable house with a great location. Walking into town was a breeze (a very hilly breeze, but enjoyable none the less) and Mission Trail was just steps away for great dog hikes. For the pet crowd, the house is perfect for dogs with safely enclosed front and back yards. The house was spotless and very welcoming when we arrived. Kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooks, towels all matched, and linens were fresh and well-chosen. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals were so...

"Once you get up the rather treacherous road, all your worries just melt away. This property really is a little piece of heaven on earth. We had some guests that needed help driving up the hill, but most of us made it on our own. Justin and Crystal were very helpful both before the trip and during. We turned this setting into a venue for our small wedding for an extra fee, and it was an amazing decision! Our guests proclaimed that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.

"We are big renters on vrbo and think has been our favorite house yet. The beds are so comfortable!! when people are awake downstairs the people sleeping upstairs cannot hear them. This house is very cute with lots of charm and staged just right. If I had to force myself to complain about anything it would be that the kitchen isn’t stocked well. So if you plan to cook bring your own oil and seasonings. Also the pans are only stainless steel, which we are not used to cooking with. There’s no...
