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: We stayed the month of August in Carmel - a very busy month for the Monterey Peninsula. Our stat at On a Lark was peaceful and the weather was fantastic. Car Week occurs in August, so traffic was a mess. But - On a Lark's location within a quarter mile of the village of Carmel meant we could walk to town. The house was beautiful for two people, with a two baths and a great spot to work. The property was clean and compact. We will definitely return. ##### Brian T. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth N. 4 Mar 2024 #### Perfect Carmel Cottage Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Review On a LarkThe house and yard are excellent. The home decor and floor plan are welcoming, clean, well functioning and maintained. It has new electrical, flooring, plumbing, heat, and windows; everything is updated but the decor is consistent with the original age of the house, 1950. The house is a tenants dream. Location is most convenient to town and highway one. It is a quiet location, two blocks up from the Mission Trail nature preserve trailhead.Sanctuary Rentals has been a joy to work with. I have worked with two other major short term rental agencies on the peninsula, as well as Vrbo, and this has been the best experience. ##### Ruth N. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-View-Hotel.h19135.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Pool & Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Pool-Inn.h34504058.Hotel-Information) > > [Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Level-Los-Angeles-Downtown-South-Olive.h10649672.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coronado-Hotels-Coronado-Island-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h25270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Figueroa, an Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Figueroa.h8805682.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Los-Angeles-West-Beverly-Hills.h25974.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel West Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cornell Hotel de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Cornell-Hotel-De-France.h1222727.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort.h3893.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Rose West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Sun-Rose-West-Hollywood.h57961536.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information)
