Excellent stay in Carmel! The house was extremely clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. Very large kitchen, dining/living room, and outdoor space was great for spending time together as a large family. Just a short safe walk to all the restaurants and shops.

Beautiful house in a great location! The kitchen had a full compliment of dishes, bowls, pans, and gadgets. I made French Toast for breakfast one day for my group of 9. There is a nice outdoor section that we enjoyed too.

The quality and attention to detail in the entire house more than exceeded my expectations. The area is incredibly walkable with walking access into town and to Mission Trail Park, a delightful heavily treed park which allowed access to the mission.

Beautiful Upscale Home

This home is spectacular! It is spacious and modern, and it was perfect for our group of nine people. The home is very well-furnished and very comfortable. The kitchen is great, with high end appliances, a wide variety of kitchen tools, and plenty of working space. The location of the home is quiet and serene, but also convenient to all of the attractions that Carmel has to offer. We walked to the historic mission and also to the downtown center, which is loaded with restaurants and shops. You absolutely cannot go wrong in choosing this home for your gathering.

Excellent house, wonderful location

The hosts do an excellent job of outfitting and maintaining this special property. You couldn't ask for a better location than this quiet neighborhood within walking distance to downtown Carmel and a short drive to world class golf, stunning Central California beauty and a world renown aquarium.

Birthday/Anniversary Holiday

The house was perfect for our family! It was comfortable, well-equipped, clean, stylish and hosts were communicative and accessible. The location could not have been better for a family who enjoys nature, golf, running, and a quick last minute trip to the toy store to help Santa out!

FABULOUS house!

This place has everything you need! It’s incredibly spacious, well designed and immaculately clean. The kitchen is amazing and very well stocked. The jasmine plant at the entry to the property creates the most lovely scent that surrounds the whole house. Highly recommend this house!!

Better than Perfect

So much space for our family to spread out and not be on top of each other! Immaculate, top of the line chef kitchen, with a dining space made for great gatherings. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable, outdoors was relaxing and beautiful. We walked to town many times, and always looked forward to going "home". It's a place everyone in our party wants to return to. Jim and Carol have thought of everything, and we were grateful for each detail included in their home.

Wonderful Family Stay--2nd Time!

Our family (5 adults, 4 young children) loved our return visit this year! The very spacious home is well situated in a quiet neighborhood and is beautifully furnished with great attention to detail. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, coffee pods, spices, and anything you might need. The bedrooms and bathrooms have an abundance of towels and linens. There is a lovely large outdoor seating area, gas grill, and even a playhouse on the sideyard. Jim and Carol are wonderful hosts, and are quick to respond to any questions. They definitely work hard to provide a great stay for their guests. I highly recommend this home and hope to return yet again for another stay!!

Amazing Home!

My family and I came down to Carmel for the weekend for the Big Sur Marathon. This wonderful home was able to fit 8 and two children adults comfortably. The house was stocked with all the amenities you could hope for and need. The kitchen was pristine and the living room/dining/kitchen area was a great place for everyone to hangout. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood and walking distance to downtown Carmel. The owners, Jim and Carol, were prompt and accommodating to our specific needs. We wished we could have stayed longer! I would absolutely recommend this beautiful home to anyone.

Wowzer! Don't miss out on this property

My friends and extended family have an annual reunion in Carmel, a tradition for 20 years. We have had opportunity to stay in multiple houses over the years. This home, however, was the best by far. It suited all of our particular needs beautifully. The house is exactly as described. The landscaping is beautiful with multiple outdoor seating areas. The house is also very private, with an automatic gate for the driveway and plenty area to park your cars. It has very easy access to highway 1, but absolutely no highway noise. The neighborhood is very secluded. It is a one mile hilly walk to downtown Carmel. The owners provide for multiple amenities not often seen in other Carmel homes, such as beach chairs, and a full array of coffee, tea, toiletries and extra pillows, blankets, etc. The house is also pristine. The kitchen has a set up like a chefs kitchen. The TV has full streaming access. The beds are very comfortable. The accolades just keep going. Lastly, Jim and Carol are very available to you. We didn't need them at all as everything was just right. Don't miss out!

House was very much like as advertised - spacious, well furnished and impeccably clean. Worked very well for us attending a family wedding with younger kids. We were even able to make a wedding cake in the kitchen. Host was very helpful. VRBO fees are high for the little value they add.

Spacious Carmel Home

The high ceilings and open floor plan give the main level a spacious, airy feel. The large kitchen, family room, and dining area are perfect for gathering, and the kitchen and bar are well stocked with all the essentials. There are four bedrooms, including two Jack-and-Jill bathrooms on the main floor, and a massive primary suite upstairs, along with a cozy den/TV room. The home is updated, spotless, and very comfortable—we’d gladly stay here again.

Lovely outdoor seating suitable for children and adults. Although not walkable to beach for most people, we never had a problem finding parking at the beach. We’d love to return to this home again.
