Our Best Stay in Carmel Ever!

The charm, coziness and convenient location of Tea Tree Cottage was exceeded only by the warm hospitality of the owners, Michael and Kimberly. We felt like family and were so impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage and how well appointed it was with everything we needed for a relaxing, carefree stay. This was our first time renting a house rather than staying at a hotel, and it truly gave us a sense of living the Carmel "experience" rather than just visiting. The newly installed WiFi was a pleasant surprise. Hubby and I, the two granddaughters, and the two dogs thank you for everything.

Home Away From Home

Absolutely loved our stay in this charming little home away from home. The cottage contained everything you need and more!!!. It was very clean and cozy. Michael the owner was very helpful and welcoming and could not be a better host. The yard was perfect for our Golden Retriever to run around and search for smells. The plants and flowers in the yard were beautiful. The deck is a great place to sit, read, eat and bird watch. The beach in Carmel is dog friendly and our dog absolutely loved walking down to it and playing in the sand and water. If you are planning to visit Carmel, by all means check out this awesome little home away from home!!

Two Secrets to a Great Vacation

One: find a great place to visit. You cannot go wrong in Carmel. The Walt Disney people could not have made a finer little town. Be sure to visit the Carmel Drugstore on Ocean Ave, it's a treasure! Two: find a great place to stay. Tea Tree Cottage fills the bill. It's charming, inside and out. Plenty of room for you and the kids. And the dog or cat. The kitchen has better pots than I have at home, and the deck is the perfect place to relax in the afternoon with a bottle of wine, a book, and something to snack on. Initially, we were only going to stay three nights, but I am so glad we booked another night. Read the other reviews, you cannot go wrong at Tea Tree Cottage. Mike, Kimberly, thanks for making this the best Spring Break ever!

We loved our stay although too short, the cottage immediately felt welcoming as did Michael. The place is quaint with all the amenities needed during your stay. Our dogs enjoyed running around the yard and enjoyed our strolls on the beach and in town. We definitely would recommend this place and would like to stay again in the near future. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home

I surprised my wife with an annivesary trip to Carmel, and we were delighted with the accomodations at Tea Tree Cottage. Michael & Kim maintain a charming, cozy, well cared for home. They were terrific hosts who made our fist stay in Carmel one to remember. I hae already recommended Teatree Cottage to several of my friends with small children for their California Coastal Mission tours, and we are hoping to bring family from the midwest this holiday season. We look forward to regular retreats to this lovely home!

A Comfy as Home

Michael and Kimberly – We are so glad we found your lovely cottage – a quiet and cozy escape from Monterey Car Weeks. We immediately felt right at home. The fully-equipped and well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed for a quiet dinner or cocktails and nibbles with friends. The deck is the perfect place for a spontaneous barbeque or just enjoying a good book in the sunshine. We loved watching hummingbirds outside the dining room window and the entertaining woodpeckers and jays arguing over the feeder in the gorgeous tea trees. All your thoughtful touches are what make this such a special place. Thank you for being the perfect hosts – we had a wonderful two weeks and are excited to be able to return again next year to the Tea Tree Cottage.

Just perfect!

This is the perfect place in Carmel. A quiet neighborhood, but not too far from restaurants, beach and shops. The property is very well maintained and has everything you can think of, and Michael is the perfect host, we instantly felt like home. Another good thing is the fenced in yard, so our dog enjoyed it very much, too. Thanks Kim and Mike for making your home available.

If you are looking for a 2 bedroom, one bath with kitchen in Carmel, this is your place. It fulfilled all of our expectations, plus. Very well appointed. In town and in a quiet neighborhood, it is the perfect place to launch your visit to Carmel. Within walking distance to every thing. Even though in early March we had lightning, thunder, hail and downpours, Tea Tree Cottage was warm and cheerful. It is much larger than it apprears in the photos, and very comfortable. Michael is the perfect host to get you oriented. Can't wait to return.

We spent a few days over Christmas at Tea Tree Cottage. We had a wonderful experience at this property and would return in a heartbeat! It is a cozy and quiet place punctuated with the visits of a variety of birds. We were a family of 4 and the twin beds in the second guest room were ideal. Christmas dinner was made in the superbly equipped kitchen. We were very impressed with the quality and variety of kitchen implements and utensils. Another point for prospective renters: you should know that Mike and Kimberly were forthright and honest with us with regard to the deposits and were prompt with the return of the security deposit. In toto, it was a wonderful experience. We shall return! Thank you Mike and Kimberly.
