Cozy house and wonderful hospitality. Was so nice to have a bottle of wine and wine and cheese when we arrived after a 4 hr drive. We spent a majority of the time in the front yard just enjoying the beautiful weather by the outdoor fire pit. Beds were comfortable and the place was beautifully decorated. If there was a drawback, the ONLY drawback was that there is almost too much light. Every morning I woke up at 5:30am as so much light came into the Master bedroom. However, I always started the day with a smile. Absolutely loved our stay and would recommend highly. ##### Noelle T.

Reviewer Comments: We had a really nice stay here with 7 people. The bedrooms and living spaces are as described, and the space was very clean. Next time, we would consider bringing an air mattress for the bonus room (if your group does not want to share beds). We had no trouble parking 3 large cars. The location was unbeatable. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Katherine L.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so grateful to find this home in Carmel for a last minute itinerary change. The home is so full of natural light, and an easy 5-7 minute walk to the beach and 20 minute walk to Carmel-by-the-Sea shopping and dining. The kitchen was well-appointed, the outdoor spaces were serene, and the beds were comfy. Only disappointment was the mildew around the hot tub and primary bath skylight. ##### Ellen L.

Reviewer Comments: We just spent a long weekend in this property celebrating a 60th birthday. The house was very cute and was spotless when we arrived. The house has several comfortable spots to hang out and relax both inside and out when you’re home. The location is perfect. It’s a short walk to a beautiful beach and a very easy walk into town. We walked to the Mission Ranch resort one night and had a great time having dinner on their patio. We loved our time at this property!

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house had a great layout with fenced front and back yards. The kitchen had new appliances. There was plenty of closet space for a month stay with a family of four. The master bathroom was recently updated and was fantastic. The home is less than a 10 minute walk to the Carmel Valley River Beach/end of Scenic Drive and about a 20 minute walk to Ocean Avenue. We had an issue with the disposal and the management team handled it right away.Would love to stay in this house again. ##### John K.

Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous visit to Carmel made perfect because of this property. Absolutely beautiful, clean and comfortable. Attention to every detail was evident from the moment we walked in The front door. It was an easy five minute walk to the ocean add five more minutes and we were in beautiful downtown Carmel. Once back at the property we enjoyed cocktails by the fire pit and later at night we enjoyed the hot tub.This was my fourth trip to the area in recent years and my first time at this location.. I will always choose this one in the future.. ##### Cindy R.
