However, we are so happy we took a chance and stayed at this hidden gem! It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway - clean, nicely decorated, and with just the right personal touches by the host to make us feel welcome.

It was super comfortable and the owners communicated so well. Even though it was a shared house, with the cottage attached, there was privacy. There was a firepit and tables to sit outside, which we did and enjoined as we sat to eat outside. The location is perfect, only about a 20 min drive to the beach. 10 out 10 would definitely recommend! I would definitely stay here again! ##### Ana L.

Angee, the property mgr was easy to get in touch with and was very responsive. Only recommendation is keep your party to a maximum of 4 for the cottage. It’s listed as sleeping 5, but there’s only a queen and a king bed… no pull out sofa bed for a 5th. Not sure why it’s listed to sleep 5? We ended up renting an additional room inside the main house —which worked out just fine. ##### Meghan B.

We were absolutely delighted - the esthetic was so effortless but cool and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. We found ourselves looking forward to coming back after a long day of exploring in Carmel to sit around the outside fire in our comfy clothes chatting it up over wine. It’s super cozy and the beds are extremely comfortable - loved the linens. I have the sweetest memories of that place with my three besties. Angee the host was quick to respond to all my queries and even gave me an extensive list of awesome suggestions. The drive into Carmel is beautiful and we didn’t mind the 10/15 min drive at all. I cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a place in the Carmel area. ##### Wes M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ian W. 18 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Stay here at your own risk. We arrived to find the home in a completely unacceptable and unsanitary condition, forcing us to cancel our vacation and drive hundreds of miles back home the same day.Upon entry, there was a strong, foul odor — possibly from spoiled food or something worse. But the real shock came when we discovered the home was infested with large flies — easily 100 or more throughout the house, covering windows, walls, and even the bed. It was truly disgusting and impossible to stay in.To make matters worse, the check-in instructions noted that the house key (the only way to lock the unit) would be left on the counter. There was no key anywhere to be found. That meant if we left to seek help or fresh air, we'd be leaving all of our belongings in an unlocked house.We contacted the host immediately through the app. VRBO support also attempted to reach her directly. After five hours of back-and-forth with VRBO agents and supervisors — and still zero response from the host — the reservation was finally canceled and refunded.To this day, we have not received a single response or acknowledgment from the host. No apology. No explanation. Nothing.Bottom line: this property presented serious health and safety concerns, and the host was completely unresponsive throughout the entire ordeal. What should have been a relaxing weekend turned into a nightmare. Avoid this listing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f936de3c-0acf-4179-869a-7aed0ebe9a8b-1755537745281.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7e6902b0-6d65-47d0-b91d-975e67521c95-1755537762648.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ada02b1e-d24f-4d31-8866-2f51402b3eef-1755537762498.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ian W.
