With one daughter off on a school trip to the East Coast, my wife, older daughter (16), and I wanted to spend some time as a "family of 3" in one of our favorite places, Carmel-by-the-Sea. "Suite B" turned out to be pretty perfect! Location was unbeatable, just 1 1/2 blocks north of Ocean Avenue, the street with the most stores, restaurants, and businesses of Carmel. Unlike other rental properties, there were no harrowing walks on uneven sidewalks that had poor nighttime lighting. This was truly "in town", and yet, very quiet at night.
Two bedrooms worked out great, with the 'master' bedroom being big enough to spread out, with a very comfortable King-sized bed. The 2nd bedroom was much smaller, but perfect for our daughter, with its own TV and close proximity to the kitchen. We usually try to get a unit with 2 bathrooms, but the single bathroom worked out fine - since there were only 3 of us. Perhaps the only 'suggestion' we had was for the bathtub to have shower curtains or a barrier so we didn't need to be so careful not to splash water outside the tub when taking a shower. While the bathroom looked beautiful, it was a little hard to take a quick shower or for two people to 'share' one sink (not much counter space).
The unit had a balcony that ran the length of the unit in the back. Though we were surrounded by downtown buildings, the unit stood high enough that we could see the surrounding hills and the ocean. Great place to have morning coffee, or to sit out in the evening and talk. There was also a large terrace in front of the unit (shared with "Suite A") with lounge chairs and a BBQ.
Finally, the unit was spotless and well-equipped. All linens, towels, and bedding were top quality, with ample supplies like garbage bags, toilet paper, shampoo, dish soap, etc. One of the first times staying in a vacation rental where we didn't need to run to the store to get something ....other than food or drinks. Also, WiFi worked well, and all TVs worked with NetFlix and Chromecast.
Craig, who managed the property (and I think may also be the owner), was amazingly communicative during the booking process, just before our visit, and also during/after our visit. Our deposit was returned in full within a day of our departure! Oh - he also left Monterey Aquarium passes for our use - saving us over $100 in admission!! Just an outstanding place to stay while you are in Carmel! And....a parking space was always available in the lot, too!!
