Lovely Stay for Girls Weekend
by San Maeto CA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We had a really nice stay here with 7 people. The bedrooms and living spaces are as described, and the space was very clean. Next time, we would consider bringing an air mattress for the bonus room (if your group does not want to share beds). We had no trouble parking 3 large cars. The location was unbeatable. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a fabulous visit to Carmel made perfect because of this property. Absolutely beautiful, clean and comfortable. Attention to every detail was evident from the moment we walked in The front door. It was an easy five minute walk to the ocean add five more minutes and we were in beautiful downtown Carmel. Once back at the property we enjoyed cocktails by the fire pit and later at night we enjoyed the hot tub.This was my fourth trip to the area in recent years and my first time at this location.. I will always choose this one in the future..

Lovely home close to the beach and short drive to downtown Carmel. Lots of great amenities with comfortable beds and nice linens. The outside space was really nice. I have stayed at a lot of Carmel rentals and this one is one of the best.

Perfect in a Pinch

We were so grateful to find this home in Carmel for a last minute itinerary change. The home is so full of natural light, and an easy 5-7 minute walk to the beach and 20 minute walk to Carmel-by-the-Sea shopping and dining. The kitchen was well-appointed, the outdoor spaces were serene, and the beds were comfy. Only disappointment was the mildew around the hot tub and primary bath skylight.

The property was wonderful, with two garden areas. Clean, bright, and lots of light. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the hot tub and eating area in the back yard and the garden patio with the fountain and gas fireplace up front. Walking distance to both the shops and beach areas, as well as the Carmel Mission and the Mission Ranch. Highly recommend.

This house was so well appropriated from the kitchen to outdoors. We loved being there. We had a slow drain and someone was there very quickly to fix the problem. The manager was thoughtful, kind and considerate. This trip was fabulous. We will be back!

Long Weekend in Carmel
by Denver CO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We just spent a long weekend in this property celebrating a 60th birthday. The house was very cute and was spotless when we arrived. The house has several comfortable spots to hang out and relax both inside and out when you’re home. The location is perfect. It’s a short walk to a beautiful beach and a very easy walk into town. We walked to the Mission Ranch resort one night and had a great time having dinner on their patio. We loved our time at this property!

It Exceeded Our Expectations!
by Las Vegas, NV
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our recent stay at this VRBO property was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything about this rental exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and the thoughtful gestures made our experience truly unforgettable. First and foremost, the communication with the host was exceptional. They were prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly, making us feel valued and well taken care of even before our arrival. Upon entering the property, we were blown away by its immaculate cleanliness. It was evident that the hosts put a great deal of effort into maintaining a pristine environment. It felt as though we were the first guests to ever set foot in the house. The attention to cleanliness and hygiene provided us with peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our stay. Furthermore, the thoughtful touches and amenities provided by the host truly made us feel welcome. From the bottle of wine left for us to enjoy to the abundance of towels and toiletries available, we felt like every detail had been carefully considered. It's these small gestures that go above and beyond that truly set this VRBO apart from others. The house itself was beautifully appointed, with a comfortable and stylish interior. The furnishings were of high quality, and the decor created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every room had its own unique charm.
