3791 Little Sandpiper Cottage ~ Near Town & Beach
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “Little Sandpiper Cottage”! Sleeps 4
A hidden gem near the beach in Carmel-by-the-Sea is private and close to many amenities, with theater and music venues just steps away, as well as fine dining and shopping.
Plenty of outdoor living space can be found at this 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage with an enclosed front patio as well as a large backyard, all framed by live oak trees. Located in Carmel’s Golden Rectangle, it’s close to shopping, dining and entertainment.
The 1,244-square-foot residence is in a quiet neighborhood close to Pacific Repertory Theatre and Sunset Center, making this an ideal place for theater and music lovers who want to be close to these legendary Carmel venues.
It’s also within walking distance of the beach and downtown, making it easy to park your car and go on foot to many different attractions. By car, it’s 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.
Living Spaces Charming cottage interiors with hardwood floors throughout, large windows and French doors that let in generous amounts of natural light, plantation shutters and a large wood deck are all elements of this home.
Guests enter the home via a private gated patio that leads up to a French door entryway, opening into the cozy living room, which has a comfortable seating area with leather club chair and upholstered sofa around a wooden trunk coffee table, a perfect place to watch the 46-inch HDTV. The adjacent gas fireplace lends warmth and light both to the living room and dining room areas.
Kitchen and Dining The nearby fully-equipped kitchen has a window overlooking the backyard as well as a deep sink with two faucets. A Wolf gas cooktop with four burners and wall oven, solid-surface countertops, vintage style cabinetry and travertine backsplash complete the picture. Included in this open floor plan is a dining area around a farmhouse dining table with seating for five as well as counter seating for two. French doors open onto the back deck.
The large deck in back has outdoor seating and a gourmet gas grill. The deck can be accessed either from the dining room or from the hallway near the bedrooms. A flagstone patio and bistro set can be found below the deck in the backyard, surrounded by an ivy-covered wooden fence and beautiful landscaping. Well-equipped for extended stays!
Bedrooms and Bathrooms Inside, a hallway leads to two bedrooms. Bedroom #1 has a forest-themed king metal canopy bed, as well as an en suite bath, a 24-inch HDTV and seating area. Eclectic cottage furnishings provide a unique ambiance in tones of white, gray and soft browns. The updated en suite bathroom has a tiled bathroom with a tub/shower combo, pedestal sink and large mirror.

It was a great house but could have been cleaner the day we moved in and it would be nice to have a small rug to use when you get out of the shower. Everything else was perfect

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful home, well appointed, great location but the Sanctuary’s representation does not do it just. Mid- month cleaning was a show up and leave with linens taken and not replaced. The refrigerator was reported to have a strong odor twice and nothing was done, it’s clean but something was left previously for an extended period to rot. The oven was left dirty as the microwave was not cleaned either. It's not the property that’s the issue, it’s the management company.

Reviewer Comments:
This home suited our needs perfectly. One of the joys of Carmel by the Sea is a morning walk on the beach and an evening stroll along Scenic Drive. This home is perfectly located, being just a few blocks from the beach. The home itself was super clean, and very stylish. The deck catches the mid-day sun and was where we sat to read or eat lunch. The kitchen is really well furnished with everything someone who enjoys cooking could need, more than just the basics. Evenings we would have a fire in the fireplace and watch tv from the comfortable sofa and chairs. The Master bedroom gets great light and has nice views out to the garden, deck and trees. The second bedroom has plenty of closet space but lacks the light or view. Sanctuary was very responsive when I needed them, and everything went smoothly. I would rent any of their properties again.
