We spent the month of March 2025 in Carmel at a wonderful property called Fair Oaks. The owners have obviously put a lot of love and attention into this property as it has very comfortable beds/bedding, fully stocked with dishes/cook wear, spices, toiletries, soap, towels, dog dishes, poop bags, laundry detergent, etc… We cannot say enough about how accommodating to guests this property is. It also has a beautiful garden and sitting area that is fully fenced off, which is wonderful for our fur babies. Beautiful flowers, oak trees and a guest house complete the garden area. One of the key reasons we booked this property was due to the walkability to town and to the beach. The beach is dog friendly which was one of our highlights as our pup loved to go play with other dogs off leash on the beach. The only reason we are giving this property a 4 vs a 5 is due to the small kitchen and the quirkiness of the decor. Fair Oaks reminds of us an old European cabin filled with old and unusual things that capture your imagination. Kim was a wonderful property manager and very responsive and supportive for anything we needed. Thanks to Kim and the family who owns Fair Oaks for creating this very special place for us to enjoy all that Carmel, Monterey and the Big Sur area have to offer. Anne and John
