Alice, our Host, not only had a very clean, well stocked house, but also a genuine caring heart for our comfort. We experienced a power outage while at the house. A power outage that impacted over12,000 people in Carmel! Alice stayed in contact with us to make sure we were okay and to check if we needed anything. A wonderful thing about this house, too, is the location; very close to so many places!House was clean, cozy and Host made us feel like family (in a good way!)

Carmel cottage

The house had everything we needed and is close enough to downtown Carmel that we could walk there; but far enough away that we had peace and quiet. We always enjoy staying there and this year was no exception!

Alice's house is comfy and cozy. It is in a quiet, residential community, but only about 10 minutes''' drive from downtown. She has it well equipped for any and all meals you might want to prepare. Also, she has at least 100 books on many shelves throughout the house. Great reading! The Wi-Fi works great. We thoroughly enjoyed our "sister's getaway" and would definitely come back. Thank you, Alice!!
