The trail area nearby was a great morning walk I used everyday. We cooked most evenings and the kitchen was well prepared.The space is an extremely pleasant place to hang out with family. There is both a wow factor and great comfort, which is rare.The elevator was very handy as well.

This house is spectacular! The view from the kitchen, living room dining room etc is just breath taking. You can just sit on the patio for hours and look out at the trees, birds and the view of the water. The house is situated well for a nice walk into town through the open preserved green belt. We enjoyed a quick 10 min walk to town and then over to the beach, all the way around and back...about 4 miles in total. Pat and Vaughan, the owners of the property greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed. They provided so many nice little touches, snacks in the fridge, wine, coffee, cute napkins etc. They were so charming and helpful! The beds were comfortable. Perfect for 6 people. We enjoyed our time and it was the perfect get away. Very nice quiet street too.

Hosts were next level - from clear communication, unexpected food/drink provisioning, umbrellas on hand for our spring weather, and checking in to see if all was ok or if questions. The view from the top living area was beautiful - looking out over the mission and bay towards Point Lobos. Place was peaceful with an extensive garden. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing visit! Pat and Vaughn have been the best hosts I have experienced since renting with VRBO. They went above and beyond to make sure that my family enjoyed our stay. The location is great! You can access all that Carmel has to offer by taking a quick drive or a scenic walk. We will definitely return!

Really outstanding property. I cannot imagine anyone not loving it. This is the second time we stayed here. The first was four years ago with the same six (total) people. Very well appointed, beautiful, and very very spacious for the six adults staying here.And it is extremely pleasant to work from here on your laptop, great wifi. Location and view from upper level balcony are superb.The hosts, Pat and Vaughn are the best. Extremely flexible and accommodating, they are so helpful for anything you need during your stay. Really unique in so far as rentals go.We just love the place and hope to return.

Can’t be beaten

Could not have asked for a better holiday. The house was fantastic. The location even better. Ongoing dialogue with the owners was great. The property included everything we needed and you are very close to town to the extent you need something else. We really enjoyed our time there with our family.

50th wedding anniversary

The property was in superb condition on arrival and met all of our expectations. We honestly didn’t know what to expect because all arrangements were made via the internet. We found the owners, Vaughn and Pat to be friendly and accommodating. We were very pleased with our stay and we highly recommend this venue.

My sisters, our daughters and my mom rented this house to celebrate her 80th birthday. The seven of us had a wonderful time. Vaughn and Pat were very responsive hosts, and we loved all the welcoming touches the house had with coffee, snacks and wine. Our stay started off rocky due to an Alaska Airlines IT outage that delayed our arrival by a day, and Vaughn and Pat were very accommodating and offered us an extra day. Their quick communication made our stressful travel a bit easier. Also, the pictures don't do the view from the living room of the ocean justice! It was an easy drive to downtown Carmel. We'd definitely stay again.

Carmel- by- the Sea

Wonderful house in a tremendous location. Although accurate the pictures don’t truly show how nice this house is. The house is spacious, and very well thought out with rooms that flow from one area to the next. The fact that you could walk to downtown Carmel on the nearby trail made the house even better.

Al and family were gracious guests and a pleasure to have here - and I must say especially gracious about a problem with the refrigerator dribbling water on the floor. We discovered later that it was due to icing-up of an internal drain system - a maintenance problem. Now we know what to check and prevent in the future. Al and family and friends are always welcome here.

Perfect place to relax with lovely ocean views

It was wonderful to return to Villa Mare a second time to unwind post-Christmas. The home is beautifully designed both inside and out. And we love its 180-degree view (mountains and ocean!), from its top floor which has a huge open plan grand room + balcony. We so enjoyed spending much of our time there. Its really a 'destination home' in the unbeatable location of Carmel Pat and Vaughn are also very gracious hosts, provisioning their home with many extras and accommodating requests for a late check out. Its on our list to return again!

Magical Gem on the Hill

Our stay at Villa Mare could not have been any more wonderful than it was! The home is spacious and beautifully decorated. Everything we could possibly have needed was provided with bonuses such as a luxurious outdoor shower and the most fantastic view in Carmel. We were in heaven! Vaugh and Pat have created a truly special home. We will be eternally grateful to them for sharing their place with us as it was the very best family vacation we have ever experienced!
