Hi Ron, I rented your home in Carmel in October with my Dad and college friend. It was "heaven on earth". I have no other words to describe it. Our visit was too short. My Dad wished we could have stayed longer at your home. My Dad is going to be 85 on 3/2 and is been told he is in the early stages of Alzheimers. We would like to rent your home again if possible to celebrate his birthday. I noticed on the VRBO that your property is available all of March. How is the weather in Carmel in March? We are looking to visit wineries, walk, drive the Big Sur and visit Hearst Castle and relax. We are not looking for beach weather. Would your property be available Sunday 3/4 and leaving Sunday am 3/11/2012? There would be seven adults coming. Myself, my 2 sisters, my Dad, 2 friends and one of my adult daughters. Please let me know. Thanks Mary

Wonderful Vacation Location

We spent a wonderful week in this fabulous house and hope to return with frequency! Great location. Well stocked. Professionally managed and a very smooth transaction. Lots of space an very well maintained. Owner called us to help us hook up the dvr - very helpful!!! We went to Monterey, Carmel by the Sea, Big Sur, Hearst Castle (make your reservations in advance and book multiple tours. Once you get up there the actual tour is really short and leaves you wanting more. Often with no more reservations available that day.) We went to the wine tasting rooms and fabulous restaurants in Carmel Valley. Napenthe was worth it and a surprisingly short wait. Even the lunch at Pebble Beach Lodge was worth it. Great food in and a fun area. Thank you for sharing your home.

Owner response:Susan, Thanks so much for your kind words about our house. Really glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return. Ron

We had a short, but lovely stay at this home during a weekend in Monterey/Carmel/Big Sur with a party of 5 people. Would definitely recommend to anyone as a home away from home. The home was so spacious, clean and well maintained. Comfortable bedding, well stocked with sheets/towels/pillows/cookware, etc. The property is located on a private and quiet cul-de-sac and offers magnificent views from each room. Waking up to panoramic views of the Carmel valley was icing on the cake. Close to many amenities (grocery stores, gas stations, etc), which was an extra plus. The property owner and manager were also great to work with -- professional and trustworthy. We had a very smooth transaction and the rental deposit was returned promptly after our stay.

Owner response:Ning, Thank you for your kind words. Hope you can stay longer on your next visit. Ron Arron, owner

Enchanting Week

Our stay at your beautiful vacation home from June 4-11, 2011, was nothing short of fantastic. We enjoyed every minute of it - from the morning coffee on the patio, overlooking the valley, to late-night smores with our girls, both grown up but still young at heart. We made several day-trips while there, twice to Big Sur (Nepenthe is an awesome lunch spot), and enjoyed the opportunity to see Carmel and Monterey - knowing "home sweet home" is just a few miles away. All-in-all, our stay was fabulous. We hope to return sometime. Regards. The Mielke's

Hi Ron, We returned earlier this week from a most relaxing stay at your house in Carmel. It is indeed a very beautiful, spacious and well-designed house with magnificent views of the valley - just what we needed to wind down from our hectic lives. We would love to be back sometime again in the future.
