  • This is a wonderful property. Our family was very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. We will consider staying here again. Consider a toaster. A great place for a family vacation.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks for the info on the toaster. Consider it done!

  • We had a wonderful time in Carmel. After visiting mainly sierras, lakes and mountains in California, we opt to visit this beautiful city. Your house is charming, spacious, comfortable and decorated with great taste. We enjoyed having a cup of fresh coffee sitting outside, either in the front or rear deck. Watching or listening to wild life was relaxing. The regret we have is not to be able to spend more time in the house, since we wanted to visit places around, hopefuly next time. Thanks again Ken. G.

  • Absolutely fantastic! A very private, warm, inviting home. And we did see Bambi et al and a friendly squirrel in the mornings. Just around the corner from downtown Carmel, but far enough away to never know you were in a tourist area. Highly recommended!

  • It was our first time participating in the Big Sur International Marathon. We enjoyed it thoroughly, and the stay at the house made it even more memorable. We found it exactly as it was advertized and more. Location could not have been better. We were just sorry that we could only stay two nights. We will keep this in mind if we should come to Carmel again and would definately recommend this home to our friends. Thanks again.

    We just got home from dinner (Luca was terrific) and wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had in your lovely home. Everything was great - comfortable bedrooms, kitchen, relaxing sitting area with TV, lovely deck, etc. Weather has been great. Randy and I played at Monterey CC, Corral de Tierra, and Pasatiempo with beautiful weather, while the ladies shopped (Ouch!) Thanks for helping make our stay in Carmel very relaxing...but, as always, too short.

  • We spent a fantastic two weeks in this house exploring the Monterey area. Coming from central London, we really enjoyed the space of the house. Our two year old particularly enjoyed sprinting down the long hallways. We had glorious weather and enjoyed time on the patio as well as exploring the coastline. The house is in the hills above Carmel which is usually sunny when Carmel-by-the Sea is in fog and also conveniently located for explorign in all directions. The house was very nice and comfortable and a perfect place for a family holiday. We spent a lot of time exploring Big Sur and particularly loved Pfeiffer Beach. Asilomar was beautiful anytime of day. Ken, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with and made us feel really welcome. We would heartily recommend this house and the area.

    The house was beautiful, very clean and comfortable with all amenities as advertised. The owner was always extremely helpful to us and gave us lots of useful information both before and during our stay We found it very comfortable and in a lovely location and thoroughly recommend this property. Carmel is a lovely place and we enjoyed divine pastries in the town centre at a french place near Tiffany, pizza at Allegro at The Barnyard, Breakfast at From Scratch, Dinner at The Hogs Breath and particularly liked Pfeifer State Beach and our trip to Nepenthe at Big Sur. Many Thanks for all your help and advice.
