Just perfect!

Spent 4 nights here and it was perfect! Steps from Carmel River beach and a nice mile walk to town. Everything was so clean and roomy. Well-stocked kitchen overlooks the cozy and secluded backyard, nice sized bedrooms and baths. Would LOVE to stay here again!

Amazing Carmel Stay

Absolutely perfect place for our family retreat! The house was beautiful, clean and the outside was perfect for hanging out. The location was also amazing - only one block from the beach and easy to walk on the coast into town. I would recommend this house to anyone!

Perfect Carmel getaway

Our family of five, two adult children and one teen all loved this house. Plenty of space for all of us. Carmel River Beach is a very short walk away. We used the back patio the entire stay. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful house and yard in Carmel

3 friends and I stayed at this beautiful house for 3 nights. It was our first time in Carmel and we loved everything about the house, neighborhood, town and beach. This is the most beautiful house I have ever rented through VRBO. All of the rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was large and well appointed, and the backyard sitting area was awesome.

It is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay.The management company was new to us and they were fantastic. They helped us out with several issues and were so pleasant and responsive.

Wonderful

We loved everything about the house. It is beautifully decorated and landscaped. It was immaculately clean and had everything one would need for a comfortable stay. Best of all to us was the location. We could walk to town, but were far enough away that it was peaceful. We were also close to two beaches. I highly recommend this property!

Needed More Time

This place is a 10+. The pictures are accurate and everything was so comfortable. There was everything we needed from pots and pans to spices. The area is great as we walked to Mission Ranch and took a great walk along the water. We could have walked to downtown which was a little over a mile. Next time we will stay longer.

“WFH from a different place”

Had nice change of scenery working from home from a different place - owners warned us WiFi was a bit spotty (it is!) but we brought our own hotspots and we were fine. Lovely house, spotlessly clean, very well appointed and quiet location with easy beach access and nice walk into town. Thank you!

A Return Visit to a Lovely Property

The home is so well designed and appealing both indoors and out. A perfect place for a daytime writing retreat and to revisit favorite restaurants and shops afterwards. If you love Carmel, you will enjoy this house during your stay here. Kitchen is well-equipped; fireplaces inside and out; heated floors in the master. We didn’t want to leave. Le sigh… Christopher, who is part of the house management staff solved a small issue for us promptly, and he was personable, efficient and a pleasure to meet. It was a lovely experience returning to stay again at this special home. We hope to return at some future time. Thank you for sharing this gem.

Lovely home, beautiful garden

We've stayed at this property 3 or 4 times over the past 2+ years. The property is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood. The home is tastefully decorated, with a beautiful kitchen and up-to-date amenities. The garden is peaceful with areas for dining outside or reading in comfortable outdoor furniture. It's always spotless upon arrival and the property manager is always very responsive.

Very nice !

The house from the outside seems like a small ordinary Carmel house..But the inside is great. Very charming , nice outdoor space ,wonderful kitchen and fireplaces outside and inside. Inside is updated with nice appliances in kitchen and nice bathrooms…very pleasant . Would rent again. Close to ocean walkable . Can hear waves from backyard. The village is further, may need a car? Can walk but is further .

Absolutely Wonderful House and Location

My friend and I booked the house for a relaxing girl’s weekend in Carmel. The house is absolutely lovely and exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. It’s about a 5 min walk down to the beach. We really enjoyed a morning stroll along Scenic Drive, which offers stunning views of the coast. I wish we could have stayed longer. The checkin process was easy. We will definitely come back again.

Outstanding location. Super quiet. Charming!

Great location near beaches and restaurants. Super quiet and convenient. Well maintained and lots of great extra luxury features such as a heated master bathroom floor. Also loved the indoor/outdoor space sharing. Nice to have the doors open and enjoy the sun and fresh air. I brought my wife to this home as a birthday present. It was very romantic. We'd love to come back again and perhaps bring our 2 daughters and/or perhaps another couple. This is a wonderful property!

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area but now live in the midwest and visit Carmel as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

Once we moved to the midwest, we have visited Carmel annually. We searched for 3 years to find the perfect Carmel house and we think that we've found it here on Carmelo. It is a quiet side of town but very close to everything. It is so nice to be able to quickly walk to the water to watch sunsets in the evening. This is a great location for a year-round outdoor active life style.
