About this property

3770 Stone's Throw ~ Gorgeous, Updated Custom Home, Walk to Ocean and Town!

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Stone’s Throw"! Sleeps up to 7 guests.

As featured in “Carmel’s Fairy Tale Cottages” by Mike Barton, Stone’s Throw is a historic English Tudor cottage build in 1925 and fully renovated and expanded in 2005 by award-winning architect David Martin.

Surrounded by serene gardens and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Stone’s Throw offers exquisitely updated amenities as well as the perfect location that’s just a short 10 minute walk to the beach and to Ocean Avenue’s restaurants and shopping. It’s also a 10-minute drive to local attractions like golf and sightseeing in Pebble Beach®, vintage Victorian homes and shopping in Pacific Grove, or to historic Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Or enjoy a short drive to Big Sur to take in the majestic landscape, hiking and dining.

Guests entering under the vine-covered garden arches will think they’ve stepped into a fairy tale, with beautiful gardens blooming with hydrangea, rhododendron, jasmine and roses, framed by native succulents, Japanese maples and palms. Carmel stone walkways lead to the doorway of the cottage, which is crowned in a traditional English country gabled roof.

Stone’s Throw is 2,009 sf. It has a high-end chef’s kitchen, two Carmel stone gas fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and hand-plastered walls in every room, oak hardwood floors and beautiful historical detailing indoors and out.

Living Spaces
Abundant common areas include separate living and family rooms, both with gas fireplaces, as well as a library retreat with games, puzzles and books on local history and nature. The family room has a 55-inch Roku-enabled Smart TV and sofa and leather chairs.

Kitchen and Dining
The fully equipped chef’s kitchen has Alder cabinets, Jerusalem limestone countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, Bosch double ovens and a Thermador five-burner gas cooktop. The adjacent dining area has a vintage cottage dining table with seating for eight.

French doors from both the kitchen and dining areas open fully onto the Carmel stone patio, where overhead string lighting, incredible garden landscaping, fountain, a gourmet gas grill and seating for six, make this a perfect place for outdoor dining.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 is on the main/upper level and overlooks Pescadero Canyon. Open the French doors of its private balcony and hear the sound of ocean waves. The bedroom has a king bed and an en suite bath with heated floors, jetted tub, walk-in shower and dual sinks and mirrors.

Bedroom #2, with a queen bed, is also on the main level, with a full bathroom with a shower across the hall and has a “peek of the ocean” view and views of the canyon.

Bedroom #3, with a king bed and en suite bathroom, is privately situated on the lower level, with a wood beamed ceiling and its own deck. It has the option of being accessed from inside the house or by its own separate entrance.
A twin bed located in an adjacent small bonus room is perfect for a child.

The garage can accommodate one small car and has a 240V Level 2 electric vehicle charger that delivers up to 40A with a 23 foot cable for easy charging even outside the garage. Two cars can park in the driveway.

Well-behaved small dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum. Please note that the yard is not entirely fenced.

This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals.

Daughter’s day of wedding prep
The pictures don’t do justice to this home, and even looking from the street you cannot appreciate how beautiful the home is inside. Simply gorgeous! The upkeep of the home is impeccable. The modern amenities do not take away the originality and cozy cottage feel of the house. The cleanliness was outstanding, beds were very comfortable, and the staff left us a bottle of wine with crackers and cheese with a sweet note, all of which was a nice an enjoyable surprise. In my case, there was a miscommunication issue from the staff with whom I originally made the reservation, but it was promptly escalated to the manager and quickly resolved, so we were able to enjoy the property. We had a wonderful time and even talked about renting it again in the future for a family retreat.

Great Carmel stay
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: The house is great. A little cold and the heater doesn’t heat downstairs bedroom well, but space warmers provided were helpful. Found it off putting that that checkout instructions require you to take out the trash and clean up. The fees are ample for this type of service to be provided.

Great house! Walk to town/Pebble Beach!
We absolutely loved Stone's Throw! Just a short walk to downtown Carmel shops/restaurants and Pebble Beach, too! Patio was perfect gathering spot for our party of 6. House is well-equipped for cooking, also lots of cool puzzles and games for a night in. Sanctuary Rentals was very helpful! We will definitely be back!! .

Carmel Storybook Cottage
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: At the last minute of summer vacation planning, we decided to get out of the hot & humid Texas heat & travel to Carmel by the Sea. We were able to rent Stones Throw, a 1920’s storybook house. It was truly enchanting! It is located in a quiet part of Carmel, walking distance to the beach, as well as the town. The gardens surrounding the cottage were lush & well maintained. The home was incredibly comfortable, accommodating 5 adults & a 1year old. The house was clean, had all you needed for cooking & plenty of space for relaxing. Roku was provided for the TV’s. We would love to stay again for longer than a week.

Charming Stay in Carmel
My husband and I took my parents to Carmel for a few days and were very pleased with our stay at Stone’s Throw. The house was very clean and the property was gorgeous. The view from the kitchen and dining area was picturesque and perfect for my parents to sit and relax. The house was super close to downtown, within walking distance or a very short drive. The house had all the amenities needed, including heaters for the downstairs bedroom which was a little cooler in temperature, plus everything needed to make breakfast/ dinner. The gas fireplace was an extra bonus since the weather was a little cooler than expected. We had a great stay and it was perfect for our getaway to fulfill my mom’s wish of visiting Carmel.

Everything we wanted in the heart of Caramel
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: This home was perfect for our family of 6's brief visit to Caramel. Not only was it spacious, comfortable, and beyond adorable, being able to walk downtown and avoid the parking situation was a game changer. The management company did a superb job of communicating and making us feel welcome, from the wine and cheese welcome platter to the label light switches and frequent texts and check-ins, I knew we were in good hands. We've stayed at dozens and dozens of rental homes and the customer service experience at Stone's Throw was truly one of the best.

What a lovely, quintessential Carmel home. Lovely design and appointments. Located at the end of a quiet street and a few blocks from the beach and restaurants. We walked everywhere. Added bonus, the owners allow pets. Our dog was in heaven on Carmel Beach. Would stay again!
