This home had everything that we needed and the location turned out to be perfect. We loved walking along the beach each morning...what a treat. The home is roomy and comfortable and so close to downtown Carmel. We also enjoyed the extra touches that the owners left for us. It was perfect for our girls get away extended weekend.

Excellent location for beach lovers and hikers

We all loved the location. We could walk to the beach whenever we wanted or we could sit on the balcony and look over the meadow. The home was great. There were games, books, binoculars, and even beach towels. We ate in sometimes and there was everything anyone would ever need to cook a meal. We would like to move in and live there permanently, but alas someone else gets to enjoy this great house

We were 4 friends who shared this wonderful house for 2 nights. We can't say enough about the home and the service provided. The owner himself met us to give us the key and show us his home. Appetizers and wine were waiting for us as a gift. Every bedroom had a view and easily accessible bathroom. And the view from the livingroom balcony was wonderful. It was a delightful home with everything we could have wanted.

9 adults and 3 babies (2 and under) came for a wedding at the Carmel Mission and spent a fantastic three night weekend in this beautiful home. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable in their home. They ensured everyone had a bed (air mattresses for the few extra bodies in our party were already prepared for sleeping when we arrived), and there were stuffed animals on every bed which amused the kids to no end. We also had a small hiccup of being "stuck" in the house our last day due to Hwy 1 being closed for the Big Sur Marathon. The owners took extra time to find out the options we had for getting out of the house, and were quick to assure us our check out time would be extended because of the road closure. I would come back here in a heartbeat, and will recommend this home to anyone who needs accomodations in Carmel!

Thank you for opening your home to us. We enjoyed our time here in beautiful Carmel. We had grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, and sons and daughters all together to spend quality time together before one branch of our family tree moved to Holland. The memories we will have from this trip will help warm our hearts when we are missing each other. And when we reunite, we would love to revisit this home and make some more wonderful memories.
