We kept thinking "Quintessential Carmel". Selfishly, we'd like to not gush about this home so that whenever we want a reservation, it's available. The truth is, we were so sad to leave because the owners have thought of everything for this beautiful home. Even when it rained, we weren't sad to remain indoors. However, on the sunny days, walks to the beach were refreshing as we ogled all the beautiful homes. The house was clean, well furnished with comfy beds. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Sandy and Alec!
