The house is huge. Loads of space including a large living room with a piano and fire, a games room with large pool table, ping pong in the basement, and a very large garden (especially for Carmel). Also the pool has been recently redone and was welcome during our stay as the sun shone the whole week. The decor is “old fashioned” but quaint and fitting the Carmel old style and history of the house,
We had one minor issue with the pool heating not being on and it took a couple of days until we could use it but the owner gave us some guest cards for Monterey Aquarium to make up for it and the issue was resolved as soon as they could
The location of the house however is the standout for us. Right next to the quieter Carmel River Beach and you can see the ocean from the garden and hear the waves at night.
We would definitely stay again !
The location of the house is stunning and the property is fully accessorized to a high standard. The manager is very helpful. We look forward to coming back
Fabulous property overlooking the Pacific.
Very peaceful location in the Carmel Highlands, yet only 5 mins drive to restaurants and supermarkets
House is very spacious, with lovely open living space. Bedroom upstairs is huge.
The property had everything in it eg kitchen equipment/utensils, that we needed for our stay.
Outside space is beautiful with plenty of outdoor furniture. The verandah gets the sun all afternoon into the evening.
We enjoyed our stay hugely and would live to return in the future.
Really well presented and located property, exactly like the pictures. Owners very friendly and helpful; would highly recommend both a stay in Carmel and in particular, this property.
Third stay here - it''s just the best place to stay in Carmel.
Everything that you could need - very tastefully done and obviously a great location and parking space.
We loved staying here!! We love Carmel, and consider this our second home, but this is the first time we have stayed in a house.. and what a house!!! Having stayed in several VRBO properties, this is by far the best we have stayed in.
The house is So well equipped. Little things, like having dishwasher liquid, washing powders shampoo and conditioners, salt and peppers - all so useful and the little things you may have either forgotten or you don’t really want to buy for just 7-10 days.
Comfortable beds, the washer and dryer were very efficient. Hot water. Plenty of towels, plates, glasses. All the small things that make a holiday better and easier and like having a home from home.
The house is perfectly situated in downtown Carmel, you can walk to town and the beach if you want.. a easy walk in.. A uphill walk back ; ).
A gorgeous sunny garden to sit in and my favourite part… hummingbirds that visit!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the house, truly a gem of a find and we hope we will return on our next trip “home”.
Thanks Bob.
