    Everything Nothing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great Property! A spluge for sure at about $600/nt. It's really a nice place. Well maintained. The restaurant is good. They light the bonfires on the beach each night, drive you to/from the rooms, pool & hot tub, robes/slippers. Rooms have a wet bar w/ a filter watered spout, fridge & micro wave. Everything was real nice. Worth it!

    Everything was PERFECT!!! Love this place!!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    ocean front option was great. nice view, easy access to the beach. location was a bit far up from carmel or big sur but it wasn‘t too bad. the room was really dusty that both me and my husband felt little sore throat after a night staying.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We loved the location, the staff, the nightly beach bonfires, the restaurant, the morning breakfast delivery. Felt a little pricey, but I didn’t walk away feeling like we’d wasted money.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The location is nice The food was terrible. This property claims is super dog friendly but they didn’t provide any items even tho we requested them(dog bowls beds and blankets). We got put in a room next to construction site and were woken up by excavators working.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This is an excellent property. Beautiful, exquisite amenities, great views, quiet and an outstanding staff. The location is outstanding. My second visit and I will return again!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    I’ve been taking my wife here every year for the last 5 years or so and it’s our favorite place to go. When we first started coming here we were just dating, and as each year went by our relationship grew here at the sanctuary. We got engaged on the beach here and just this weekend we came here with our 8 month old daughter. Thank you sanctuary for all the memories.

  • Engine customer May 2026

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Beautiful property, peaceful little community feel, helpful and friendly staff, awesome massages, and e-bike riding was a great way to see a bit of the coastline. Nothing!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We loved Zach A & Zach P good guys

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The place felt like a secluded paradise and the nightly bonfires with the sound of the ocean waves crashing was bliss.
