Cute place. Very quiet and comfortable. I extended my stay due to business which was so easy. My pup, Emma and I spent most evenings on the beach and walking downtown.

Best hidden gem in Carmel

The home is located in a neighborhood with mostly locals and not many tourists. It’s comfortable and relaxing to stay there. Since the house is on a hill, the view from the living room is mostly trees instead of houses. I will definitely be booking this house again.

An enjoyable stay

The property is nice, quiet, and spacious. We enjoyed having meals in the kitchen and catching Netflix at night after a day of sightseeing. The location is perfect, and we can walk into town. It's close to the highway which makes the day trip to Big Sur and Monterey easy. Checking in and out is a breeze as well. The window treatment can use some fixing, but we just kept them down the whole time. :) Overall a very good stay, and Susan is a good host.

2nd time

This is our second time renting this house. It is in a great location convenient to town. The house has an enclosed backyard for the dogs. Because we were here in January when we had the storms, we walked the dogs in downtown Carmel where there are sidewalks and they really enjoyed it. Would rent this house again.

Great Location

Perfectly located for access to both downtown Carmel and Highway 1. The neighborhood is blessedly quiet and wonderfully woodsy. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen is large and well outfitted. One warning though, if you have a large car like my Explorer, be prepared to possibly fold in your side view mirrors before entering and exiting the garage. 😊
