Great location for acres to Carmel River Beach. Bright and open, accommodated 6 adults nicely. Kitchen needs to be inventoried and the pillows aren’t great, but overall it’s a great space for a group.
Nice size gathering rooms. Enough beds for everyone to be comfortable. Location is excellent if you want to get to the beach. Good neighborhood for walking.
well-appointed place, very nice and modern and bright, close walk to beach, on a quiet street, very short drive to main city in Carmel but also quite close to Monterey and to get onto drive to Big Sur. Plenty of space for kids and gathering, etc.
would definitely stay again!
This home is perfect for a family getaway. Lots of space - both for communal gatherings and privacy. Great location to walk to the beach or short drive to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend.

Dolce Tempo was perfect for our family trip. The photos were accurate and exactly what the home looks like. The home was clean, well-equipped, and spacious. The location was perfect as it was near Carmel, the beach and local attractions. I would recommend this home for your family trip. The management company was easy to work with and responsive. Many thanks!
The house and communication was excellent. Great location with easy walk to downtown or to the beach. Everything was clean, comfortable, and owners continued to check in to see if we needed anything.
Amazing location, short walk to beach or Carmel Mission. Well appointed, very quiet. We had a group of 7 adults, plenty of room for all.

Top class property in Carmel. It is both worthconsidering and value for money ^^
The property was perfect for our family. Because of the location we had lots of joy exploring the area. The children loved the bunk beds. Katherine was wonderful. We had a bit of a challenge with the lock box. The in-person tutorial was very nice.

This is a great house residing in a great location; our extended family has truly enjoyed our stay. The kids love the bunk beds; the compartment to store cold drinks is a nice amenity; our extended family loves the walking distance to Carmel River Beach. There is one item needing attention; the front gate latch is loose since the wood part holding it is rotten; perhaps the wooden block needs replacement & painting.

We had a fantastic time at this house! Proximity to the beach was great as well as nice walks through the neighborhood. There was enough space in the house for the kids to be in one space and the adults in another. Kitchen had everything we need to cook for a large group and everything was in great condition and clean. Communication with the management company was wonderful. Would highly recommend staying here.
We Were Impressed As Soon As We Opened the Front Door
We were impressed as soon as we opened the front door. The house was beautifully decorated, and soft music was playing from both tvs upon our entry. This house is super clean, and updated throughout. It has eveything you could need, including dishes and cooking supplies. This house was very comfortable for our group of 6 people (4 adults 2 teens). The front room is very spacious and provided a great space to watch tv and play board games. And, with 3 full bathrooms, that space was always available when needed. The house is located within a short walking distance to two beautiful beaches. It's also a 25-minute walk into downtown Carmel. Each morning I walked to the Carmel bakery for delicious pastries and lattes.All communication with the property managers was excellent. I received prompt replies, and they were always very courteous.We plan to always stay at this house, whenever possible, when we return to Carmel.

We loved our time at Dolce Tempo. I am the pickiest when it comes to cleanliness and this place was spotless. Not even a hair or fuzz in sight. The natural lighting with big windows and the trees outside makes you feel like you’re wrapped in a narnia setting. I woke up every morning seeing pretty roses outside of my room. The kitchen was well stocked and the all the sanctuary employees were kind and intentional. We were super closer to the beach and Carmel by the sea! The neighborhood was safe and perfect in every way. Thank you for helping our family make sweet memories and we’d book this home over and over again!
