Lovely Family Getaway

Overall Comment
Only hiccup was initially finding the place, but once we arrived there is a lovely family home energy to the place. It uplifts you, makes you feel welcomed, and ultimately ensures you have an amazing time as a family. I highly recommend this property.

Carmel Wedding Stay

Overall Comment
The home worked well for a family of 6, three couples, to enjoy Carmel on foot. Two cars fit in the driveway. The house was clean and the ambiance very nice. We ate breakfast at home and other meals out. It was easy to walk around Carmel. It is very close to Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive.

Great Carmel Location & More Welcoming Than the Photos

Overall Comment
We had three active generation in the home (teens, 60s, 80s). One mornings women from all three generation walked to Carmel beach for a safe, fun and exilarating sunrise swim. After fun on the beach, we walked to Carmel Bakery on Ocean Ave to buy pasteries for breakfast back at our comfortable home with an ocean view from the deck table where we ate most of our meals. Nobody wanted to leave. I selected the rental home for its walkability, so my 15/16 yo girls could have time on their own to explore the beauty and magic if Carmel. Walkability for active walkers is perfect. I thought i was making a compromise on the house to get the walking access I wanted, but it was not a compromise.
Loved it!

Carmel Wedding 2024

The property was very clean, well-maintained, and well-appointed. One drawback upon entering was a musty odor, possibly due to the damp climate. Upon our arrival, there was a bottle of Talbott wine, which was excellent, and some cheese and crackers.
Surprisingly, the spiral staircase was easy to navigate, as it had a nice railing and did not have a tight turning radius. One of the rooms downstairs has a solarium, which does not provide much privacy but a great amount of natural light.
We did not rent a car for our stay but took Ubers everywhere. The only drawback to taking Ubers is the gate and hairpin turn to the property, which was mentioned in the rental Advertisement. You had to make a note on the Uber app to tell them about the gate and hairpin turn. It is walkable to the town but not super convenient unless you are mobile and can walk up and down hills.
You can see the ocean from the patio, which was awesome, even when the fog rolled in, which was cool, too.
Overall, we were very satisfied with this rental.

Great location

Great location, comfortable home with great outdoor areas. Only issue is seating is for 4 and with 3 bedrooms, you'd expect seating for 6.

We Would Stay Here Again
by Nashville, TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Great location. Our family had a great stay. We would stay here again. It is very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. This is an older house with charm and quirks that come with it - water pressure in the showers was less than ideal and driveway can be a little tricky backing out, but did not mind it. We loved being able to walk to the beach and shops through the beautiful neighborhood. Super safe and private location at the end of a street.
