About this property

3795 The Artist's Way - Adorable Downtown Flat

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “The Artist’s Way”! Sleeps up to 3 guests

A romantic rooftop apartment with a private balcony overlooking downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea is just steps away from Ocean Avenue and all of the galleries, restaurants and shops that make the town such a distinctive vacation destination.

Old World charm is the hallmark of this newly remodeled 1-bedroom, 1 bath flat with a comfy pull out couch, with many unique and vintage accents that artistic souls will love. A renowned artist-owned gallery, Carmel Art Association, is directly across the street and features works by local painters and sculptors. From this location, it’s easy to park your car and go on foot to many different attractions.

The 425-square-foot residence is on the upper floor of a courtyard that includes numerous businesses, including the popular Toro Sushi Bar, and is also just steps away from the Hog’s Breath Inn, formerly owned by Clint Eastwood, as well as a variety of other well-known restaurants within a few blocks. In addition, the apartment is just a few minutes by car from the beach, and just 10 minutes to the world-class golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach®, to monarch butterfly sightings in Pacific Grove, or to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Other attractions within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.

Hardwood floors, whitewashed vaulted ceilings, and handcrafted plaster walls are among the attractive features, as well as vintage built-in cabinets that provide plenty of storage space. A color scheme in soothing tones of white, gray and blue reflect the nearby ocean environment, and eclectic décor captures the creative spirit of Carmel.

Guests enter through a shabby chic door that leads into the living room, where large windows let in generous amounts of natural light, but with curtains if privacy is desired.

A private balcony off the living room features bistro seating and wrought iron railings, a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening.

The living room includes a 50-inch HDTV and comfortable seating that includes a full-size sleeper sofa. A kitchen with deep sink, built-in storage and a gas stove are available next to a dining area that seats two.

Bedroom and Bathroom
The bedroom features a queen bed and an en suite bath, with a pedestal sink, a tub/shower combination, large sunflower shower head and a built-in cabinet and drawers with ample room for storing personal items.

An additional sleeping option is located in the living room where there is a full/double size sleeper sofa. Please note that guests sleeping in the living room will need to pass through the bedroom to get to the bathroom.

Laundry service is available but there are no laundry facilities in the building. Cars may be parked on the street - no parking spaces are provided. The City of Carmel has several downtown parking lots with unlimited timing, including one near the flat on Torres and 3rd.

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

This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!

The property is accessible to everything that downtown Carmel offers. There are restaurants just outside its doors and the interior of the space is welcoming and darling. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and people watching and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Everything was wonderful. It felt like I was staying in a loft in Europe. I loved listening to the people at the restaurant bellow from the little balcony. The customer service was excellent. I did need there help finding it when I first arrived after. I was tired and it was dark. Someone answered the phone right away and helped with walking directions from my car. It had everything for a cozy getaway. I would definitely stay there again.

The walls are thin and parking was difficult (always a problem during car week), but none of that prevented us from having a great stay! It’s a charming little spot in a prime walkable location. If you are familiar with Carmel, this place really epitomizes the town. If you’re not familiar, everything is historic and full of personality.If you’re looking for the Four Seasons, this isn’t the place for you. If you want the local experience in a clean house that’s easy to stumble home to, it’s perfect!

Perfect Location, Charming Cottage

Could not ask for better location. Right in the heart of downtown Carmel, steps away from great shopping and dining. The suite itself was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully updated without losing that Carmel charm. Will absolutely return.

Adorable European Apartment

My husband, son and I enjoyed our stay in this quaint, adorable space. Its nestled in the heart of Carmel, and I loved enjoying a glass of wine on the cute balcony. I was concerned about parking but it wasn’t an issue at all. This is a great space for a couple to stay. Very clean!
