Wonderful stay
Excellent stay in Carmel and the perfect setup for two couples (bedrooms were not directly adjacent and we each had our own bathrooms). Home is well-designed, very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Great communication from the owners before arriving. The backyard was a lovely sunny place to sit in the mornings. We only stayed in for breakfast, and the kitchen was perfectly equipped for those meals. Thank you for your hospitality!

Exactly as Described, Great Location, Great Home
We were looking for something nice that was walking distance to Carmel. Michael & Jan's home was perfect for 2 couples. So nice, equipped with everything you need for a stay; everything was super, super clean and the outdoor living area is very nice. We did enjoy a few bean toss games while sipping a wine or two. The communication before we arrived were A+, Michael met us when we arrived, and was more than willing to assist, appreciated the walking directions. Would recommend this home without reservation.

Comfortable and enjoyable
We enjoyed our stay in Carmel and the house was clean and comfortable. It is within walking distance to Carmel and the beach, but if you plan to bring things to the beach I would recommend driving.
Jan and Michael left plenty of brochures and free wine tasting cards in addition to recommendations for restaurants. We appreciated the Nespresso pods and wine that they had available to us when we arrived. Little touches to make our stay more enjoyable.
The check-in and check-out process was simple and easy.
In sum, we would definitely stay here again.

Better than we hoped!
The pictures of the property did not do it justice. By that I mean, we felt it was going to be a warm nice place but also had a small amount of concern that it would show wear and tear and be beach “clean” which is often different than what we consider clean. The property was very clean, in excellent shape, well stocked and had a nice upper scale comfortable decorative vibe to it. We will be back!

Above and beyond
Jan and Michael provide the total package: a well appointed home, soothing artwork, great suggestion of things to do and see and places to eat. They were super responsive to my sole request (more coffee). My brother and sister in law drove over for two nights, and they also found serenity and elegance, as advertised. Perfect location to see Carmel and surrounding areas.
I don't want to say more because I don't want to find myself unable to get in when we return. ;)

Great Choice!
Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in Carmel. The Homeowners were appropriately attentive and available as needed. The property is very well maintained, spotless and with upgraded/updated amenities. Peaceful, well furnished backyard. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet. The home is a lovely 10 minute walk to where we were headed in town. And from there, another few minutes to a spectacular beach. So many great restaurants, La Belena, Cultura, Casanova and 5th Ave Deli (opens earlier than most; great for picnic salads/sandwiches) especially. It was a wonderful home base as we visited Big Sur, Point Lobos (had to walk to China Beach to see the pupping sea lions:) and Pebble Beach. Happy to have stayed there!

Quintessential Carmel Experience
As long-term VRBO users, we are pleased to offer a 5-srar review. Actually, it is important to note that this is actually two reviews. Clearly 5-stars to the property, which was clean, well-equipped, delightfully comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The location is convenient, and we felt very much at home. But further, 5-stars to Jan & Michael for being such gracious and personal hosts. Based on our description of the trip when we booked, the hosts anticipated all our needs and left us a number of pleasant surprises that were over and above anything we typically expect from a VRBO host. So for a couple, or small family, or two couples, we recommend this property highly. You will not be disappointed staying at this lovely home.

A Cozy Carmel Getaway
Michael was very hospitable, and the welcoming gifts (water, wine, and coffee!) were much appreciated. The property was very clean and comfortable. A wonderful outdoor space to lounge and drink coffee in the morning or wine at night.
A note on the location - the property is north of the intersection at Santa Fe and 1st. It looks to be positioned at Torres and 3rd on VRBO, so it is a bit of a further jaunt to town. It was fine for us, but it is not walkable for all.
One additional note - there is a unit downstairs and when items are cooked in the kitchen in the lower unit, the smell wafts upstairs throughout the unit when the windows are open. Save for the extra distance to town and the ventilation in the unit, this property would be five stars.

So thankful for your input and we are in the process of adding both additional sound and other ventilation updates. The next time you return the home will be even better and I promise the ventilation will provide complete comfort. Again, I truly appreciate your candor and although most of our guests prefer a bit of distance from bustling downtown Carmel and the crowds in the evenings, I will add even more pathways leading to downtown that allow for even more ease and less distance than the approximate 7-8 blocks to town. Thank you again. Stay safe and be well.

We like to walk and this place is 10-15 min walk into town. Not close to the beach but not a problem as we walked down to it. Nice size for 2 couples. Updated. It’s on a second floor, about 15 steps up outside w railing.
