About this apartment rental

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present “The Madden Suite”! Sleeps up to 4. Short Term Rental.

This sophisticated apartment in the heart of 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. Park your car and walk to everything in this unbeatable location.

The 800-square-foot newly remodeled 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. Once upon a time ago, the flat operated as the club house for famed football coach and Monday Night Football announcer John Madden, for whom the nightly rental is now named, and his close friends.

The apartment is easy walking-distance from the beach, and only 10 minutes to a variety of attractions, including world-class golf and dining in Pebble Beach, monarch butterfly sightings in Pacific Grove, or the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Others within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting in Carmel Valley Village.

Vaulted ceilings with skylights and handcrafted plaster walls are among the features that make this 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment stand out, as well as a vintage Carmel stone fireplace that provides a cozy gathering point.

Guests enter through a door that leads into the living room, where large windows let in generous amounts of natural light, but with curtains if privacy is desired. The living room includes a large HDTV and comfortable seating around the fireplace.

A convenient kitchenette with refrigerator, small bar sink, oven and stove (no dishwasher) makes it easy to enjoy local take-out food or to prepare small meals and snacks, is adjacent to a dining area that seats four to six.

Bedrooms and Bathroom
Bedroom #1** features a king-size bed with luxury bedding. It is located directly across the hall from the bathroom.
On the other side of the living room, Bedroom #2** has a split king bed with foam topper or can be made into two twin beds.

**Please note that the loft style of the whole apartment means that the walls of the bedrooms do not go all the way to the high ceiling and they are open at the top to the main living area. Visual privacy is assured but sounds can carry from one room to another.

The living room sofa folds out into a queen bed for an additional sleeping option.

The bathroom features a tiled tub-shower combination with a large sunflower shower head and a second removable handheld shower head. The updated bathroom includes a large vanity with dual sinks, a generously sized cabinet with ample room for stowing personal items, and an additional cabinet for storage.

The unit does not have a washer or dryer. We are happy to recommend laundry facilities in the area.

Cars may be parked on nearby streets, there is no private parking 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.

The unit is up a flight of stairs but is all one level once inside.

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outstanding experience! My wife, daughter and her trusty hound were very comfortable in the Madden Suite. Initially thought noise might be an issue from the courtyard below, but it was not a problem at all. If you like walking Carmel, the Madden Suite is in a perfect location. All the shops and restaurants are within easy range and the beach is a nice early morning trek that the dog and I enjoyed immensely. Highly recommend the Madden Suite!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the Madden Suite for its charm and location in Carmel. The staff at Sanctuary are exceptional and tried to make our stay the best they could!!However, when you pay over $880 a NIGHT, you expect everything to be PREFECT. The heating system is worthless! One small wall heater to cover the whole living room, kitchen, and dining area. One small wall heater in each bedroom. NO HEATER in the bathroom!!!!!! Plus, there were only 3 small pieces of wood for the fireplace, so having a fire to help stay warm wasn't possible. Maybe the middle of the summer you won't need heat, but in May you do. Also, the placement of the TV on the wall in the master bedroom is insane!! You can hardly walk by it and the bed to get to where the clothes rack is placed. There are NO closets in the bedrooms, too. Since there was no compensation back to us for putting up with no heat, we won't be staying there again.

We parked our car for 3 days and walked to all of our favorite shops and the beach. Thank you for making our visit memorable. This suite was clean and had everything we needed. We highly recommend it to all.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We had a nice return to the Madden Suite for a second year. It was clean, spacious, and a great central location. This year the hot water in the kitchentte was not working which made doing dishes difficult. The management company was professional and prompt, but the issue was never resolved during our stay. The WIFI then went out for a day unexpectedly, which was inconvenient, but ultimately resolved. Lastly, the kitchenette and all of the kitchen supplies are great, though the reality is that it's very hard to cook and clean in that area (no place for dishes to dry). There is very little counter space and inconsistent kitchen tools. Best to order in lunch and dinner.
