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.

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!

Relaxing Weekend Away

My family and I had a wonderful experience at The Artist’s Way. The rental property owner was responsive and accommodating and the house was just as inviting and cozy as the photos made it look. The location was great - within walking distance to anywhere in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. We will definitely consider staying here the next time we travel to Carmel!

Artists Way

The place was immaculate, cozy and extremely well appointed. Really appreciated the Britta water filter in the fridge. Wished check out time wasn’t so early, and there was some confusion finding the place, difficultly reaching someone to help, but otherwise a great visit. Would def stay again.

European flat vibes by the sea

Adorable and well appointed place right in downtown. It has the charm of somewhere you would stay in Europe, but with walkable access to shops, food and of course the beach. The restaurant below (Toro), had the most friendly and welcoming staff and don’t worry about noise as everything closes at 9pm in Carmel. We have stayed at all the major hotels in Carmel/Pebble and Carmel Valley and this was a really fun way to change it up and have walking access to everything.

Great Location

Comfortable bed, great location, 2 blocks from Ocean Ave. (Carmel’s Main Street.) Walking distance from beach. Parking was easy to find. The Sushi restaurant downstairs is great as well as the staff. Hog’s Breath is through the back alley below. The noise from both places wasn’t an issue at all. We had our pup with us and it all worked out perfect.

Great Getaway in Carmel-by-the-Sea!

This property is truly special! Location is steps away from downtown restaurants and shops, yet quiet as it is tucked away at the back of a small courtyard of shops. Small patio was wonderful to sit and enjoy a glass of wine before or after dinner. (Keep watch for a curious pack of racoons though!) We were concerned about parking, as the property does not come with a dedicated space, but unrestricted parking was available on a residential street a few blocks away. (Not sure if this would be as easy once pre-COVID crowds return, but it worked for this stay.) Apartments was extremely clean and bright. It had everything we needed for our stay. Check in was effortless and the property manangement company was very attentive. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

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!

Cute place but area too noisy

While we loved the little cottage, backing up to a bar and right over a busy restaurant did not make it easy to relax. We never got to enjoy our little patio because of all the restaurant patrons right below and forget a nap. We were disappointed with the lack of privacy.

Nice renovated flat cottage

Well renovated with authentic looks. Everything you need is furnished on site for a comfortable stay. Great central location, with an excellent sushi restaurant on the front street (little noise when business putting daily trash outside on the curb). No parking on premises, 2 hours free in the street, afterwards you need to move your car to the free zone near by, access all by foot. Very clean city surrounded by flowers. Visit the 17 mile drive Monterey.

The cutest sea side cottage!

This place is just as adorable as it looks online. It’s in the heart of town and a short walk from the gorgeous beach. The communication with the property manager was super easy. I didn’t want to leave! If you are thinking of booking this place then do it. You won’t regret it.
