What a great place for our Thanksgiving! We were warmly greeted and made to feel welcome. Freshly made brownies and good coffee beans were ready for us. The house is lovely, comfortable, and user-friendly, with views all the way to Point Lobos. We hope to stay again, and highly recommend.

It’s rare when a short term rental home is more beautiful than the photos, but this place exceeded expectations and surpassed all of our day-to-day needs. The whole experience felt luxurious right down to the white-glove check out. It was worth every penny. The ocean and coastal views genuinely were astounding, the gardens were infinitely interesting and restorative, and the interiors were quite roomy while providing both private space and several gathering areas. We enjoyed breakfast on the main patio each morning. The kitchen had every conceivable appliance, equipment, spice and condiment. Our group enjoyed the new, user-friendly outdoor jacuzzi every morning and most evenings. As the main contact, I heard back from Marielle immediately when we had minor questions. She was kind and generous with her time, advice about the area, and fresh flowers and baked goodies upon arrival. With plenty of driveway parking space and a few minutes from Carmel town center, honestly the location cannot be beat! We stayed during the first week in October - a gorgeous time to enjoy this lovely property and Marielle’s hospitality. We miss it and her already!

Girls trip!

This lovely tri-level beauty is minutes away from all charming Carmel offers. The home was very well appointed with a cooks’ kitchen and very thoughtful extras for the gals. We especially enjoyed the three outside decks each with its own unique view of Monterey Bay. Thanks for the memorable stay in one of our favorite destinations.

Perfect location / quiet / amazing view!!

As-advertised. Beautiful split-level home away from the madness of central Carmel but only an easy 5-min drive away. Great hot tub and beautiful view of the ocean and Point Lobos State Park. Marielle met us at the house with fresh cut flowers from the house’s amazing garden and some fresh baked brownies as well. Kitchen was better outfitted than ours at home, complete with flour and spices and even salad dressing!Will 100% stay here again.

Magnificent views

We can't say enough about how wonderful our stay in this beautiful home was. From the moment we arrived, the owners' hospitality was so warm and welcoming. The home is comfortable and beautiful. There are many comfortable rooms to live in and all have magnificent panoramic views. The hosts left every amenity for us that we ever could have wanted. No wonder they are super hosts! We hope to return to this home on our next visit to the West Coast.

Dad's 75th Birthday

I cannot say enough about this listing. First, it is a stunning property situated on a hill overlooking the Carmel coastline. The place has it all - a state of the art kitchen, a balcony with a table and chairs to enjoy the view and centrally located within just a few minutes from Downtown Carmel. Our hostess was very attentive to us and was a delight. It was a memorable experience to say the least.

Location and Hospitality unmatched!

Our stay here was fantastic! The views from this house are gorgeous-you can see the ocean and point lobos, along with Carmel highlands. Home is beautifully decorated and updated. It’s clear that lots of love and thought has been put into this listing. Main master suite is HUGE! Three different outdoor decks with metal patio furniture, loungers, and a large hot tub overlooking the hills and the ocean. The kitchen had a top of the line espresso machine with coffee beans provided. Our host was so helpful and accommodating, checking in to see if there was anything we needed during our stay. Great experience-we would definitely book again!
