Quiet, Peaceful, great Place to Stay

This was our second one week visit. It was perfect for our two dogs, Golden Retriever and Gordon Setter. The setting is peaceful and yet close to the lovely Carmel mission, art galleries, shopping and the off-leash dog beach plus easy access to Monterrey and it's attractions, Aquarium, shops and historic buildings. The host was a great resource for places with local color and restaurants.

Tuckaway is a calming wonderful garden oasis. We felt we were on a tropical island getaway, so private with faraway views...The host/owner offered great local information and provided the most luxurious bedding equal to the best 5 star locations, yet more comfortable with the private garden area. Thank you.

I stayed three nights with my Great Dane and it was wonderful. It's the right size for 1-2 people and the private yard is perfect for relaxing. We had a wonderful stay and it was in an ideal location and a great neighborhood. The bed is to die for!! Thank you Bill for your great hospitality. A great getaway! I wish I could have stayed longer!

I cannot have enough good words to recommend this place. The pictures on this site do not do it justice - it's just so much more charming and comfortable that they suggest. Location is simply perfect: you can get to the HWY 1 in 2 minutes, yet it's amazingly quiet and intimate. It's within 5 min drive from the downtown Carmel, or you can walk for 25 min - the choice is yours. It's very comfortable with a super-cozy bed and everything a couple may desire or need on their stay in Carmel. We stayed for 3 nights in October and dream of coming again one day. The garden and interior decorations are to die for especially if you are a succulents lover like I am:)). Everything is so tastefully done, so thoughtful, and the owner Bill is such a mensch! Thank you very much for sharing your home with us!

We stayed 5 nights early Sept 2011; wonderful place! Nice bathrobes for each of us, the queen bed was super comfortable; the space includes a nicely equipped small kitchen; table that seats 4, 2 nice armchairs and a view of the Pacific from inside. The private garden is beautifully landscaped with loungers and a firepit. Bill, the owner, was very friendly and helpful with recommendations and ideas. Can't say enough good things about this place. Would stay here again and highly recommend it. There are a few stairs getting down to it through the garden.

My husband and I stayed at Tuckaway 4 nights in August 2011. Everything was as described in the VRBO listing. We were pleased with the location, a quiet neighborhood a few blocks from the Carmel Mission and west of the highway. Literally 3 min. by car from the village, it is close enough to stop back by after a long day, relax, and head back out to dinner. The small but well-appointed unit, which is the lower level of a house with its own access, fronts onto a landscaped (& furnished) garden with a slice of ocean view beyond. The unit backs directly into the hillside, which makes the place even quieter. Bill, the owner, is helpful, professional and personable. We travel with our pet and it was great relaxing in the mornings with a pot of coffee, gazing at the garden and view beyond. It is very reasonably priced for Carmel. Note: if you are much over 6 ft.the ceiling is going to be very close. I would recommend this property to my big sister, who is even more persnickety than me. Next time we go my first stop will be at the Earthbound Farm Organic Kitchen, 3.5 mi. east of Hwy 1 on Carmel Valley Road. Outstanding prepared foods, baked goods, produce, etc., in an idylllic setting.

Another 5 star review. Very cozy place, very private, quite and well furnished. We basically had the whole yard to ourselves and our dog. Great location. 3mns from a great trail (Mission Ranch) and 5 mns to the city center. Bill is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it.

We spent 5 nights during the Concours d'Elegance at this wonderful spot in the hills over the sea. Great warm small but very well appointed nest! Highlight was a fire in the out door pit in the mist and fog. Great spot for TWO! leave the kids home and make it a fun time in a great spot with a neat location near every thing in the Carmel/Monterey Area.

The Tuckaway is cute, cozy, and in a very quiet residential neighborhood. The only thing you can hear is the ocean! Dogs are welcome which was great for us as we brought our pup. Bill was a great host. The property is quite clean and well-maintained. One note: The space is a bit tight for two adults and a 45 lb. dog if you plan on staying inside a lot.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, pet owners.

Planned a very last minute trip down to Carmel and Big Sur. Everything booked and what wasn't booked was either too expensive or a generic hotel. By chance I remembered to look at VRBO and came across Tuckaway. And luckily, the two nights I was staying in Carmel were available. A lucky, lucky break. A great, comfortable place to stay. Quiet. I loved the sound of the trickling water outside the bedroom window. The lawn furniture was most comfortable. Even with the clouds, it was very relaxing to sit and look at out the peek-a-view of the ocean. Had we stayed longer would have used the outdoor fire pit. The wood was stacked and ready to be lit.
