Beautiful, well maintained house. We are a family of four from Arizona and this house was the nicest property we’ve stayed in Carmel - clean, comfortable and beautiful.
This home is stunning. Everything was perfect for our stay. Clean and stocked with all the right amenities. It was a lot bigger than it looked in the pictures. We had plenty of space for 8 adults. Loved how close it was to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a lovely stay at this charming Carmel home with our children and grandchildren. The house was very clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with high-end finishes, and plenty of space for everyone.The kitchen had everything we needed and the backyard was a lovely spot for morning coffee.The location was ideal—quiet, yet just a short walk to the beach and Scenic Road.Highly recommended for a family vacation. ---

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and everything the property had to offer. Thank you for taking great care of our home. We hope to host you again in the future!
Loved the location of this rental so close to the beach and walking path for our daily walks. The rental was clean and with beautiful finishes throughout. We enjoyed our time on the outside patio next to the fire pit. We were unable to get the air on downstairs so it was a bit warm.
