Carmel Cove sits to one side of a quiet vacation development. The bedrooms are small but comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. We cooked a lot and found everything we needed.
For us, the best parts of the rental were:
1. The big lawns for badminton, wiffleball, etc. The tennis court and shed full of loaner equipment didn’t hurt!
2. The large decks, fire pit, and Great Room for hanging out.
3. The lack of noise and through-traffic. I met several neighbors, presumably owners, walking their dogs and found them friendly.
Also, the reports of local bears are not rumors. One ambled through mid afternoon. They definitely check for loose trash.
The place does need a few improvements. The kitchen is very stuffy and needs better ventilation. The treads on both front and back stairs are dangerously degraded.
Even with those provisions, I would gladly rent again!
