The location was excellent with easy access both to Carmel By The Sea and Monterey. Stock of basic staples and dinnerware was spotty but adequate. The space could use a few minor repairs and some upgrades such as shelves next to or above the bed for personal items or lighting.

The location was good for Carmel by the Sea which is why I rented it. The place was smaller than I expected as you have to get in bed by climbing in from the foot of the bed because just fits the room. The refrigerator was smaller than even a bar refrigerator and froze everything. The management company was easy to work with and well organized.

Cozy Bungalow

Loved this cute Vrbo in a quiet Carmel neighborhood. We loved walking about 20 mins into town and the easily available parking spot I front of the house. Initially had a few issues with the unit the first night, but it was quickly resolved by the management property.

Weekend Aquarium Getaway

Location of this property is great! An included parking spot is a plus as street parking is limited due to the small streets. It's located close to everything you might want to do in the area.My only suggestion is to change the shower liner more often - the one there while we stayed had mildew/mold build up (eh it happens), but it didn't dampen our weekend at all. Great place overall!

Get Away

My husband and I booked the Quaint Bungalow for our Anniversary and it was just what we needed. More affordable than a hotel with nice privacy. Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, convenient parking, a short distance from downtown and Hwy 1. All the amenities you need for two guests and plenty of space. Check in was easy and the property manager was quick to respond. The space itself was simple but clean and comfortable. Great stay!

Cute base for our anniversary getaway

Everything was clean and functional. Sitting on the couch, I loved the view of an old oak tree draped in lichen. Climbing into the bed made me feel like a kid again building a fort! Super quiet neighborhood

Surprised by the sleeping area

The description is "queen size bed, tucked into a quiet sleeping corner". The bed is crammed against the walls on 3 sides, and is about hip height. Climbing in and out was a struggle. Inadequate wall sound-proofing meant we were awakened when the adjacent residents started their day, 6:30 and 7AM.

Quiet Carmel hideaway

Very cute studio with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, including a super comfy couch. There were even some coffee pods to get us through the first morning! It's a bit far from downtown so a car is generally necessary, but it's a short drive. Also we came on an unusually hot week and it was really hot inside the apartment, but they provide a fan to help a bit.

Lovely little place just a few blocks outside of town. Easy freeway access and also a 15 min walk from downtown Carmel.Our little suite was super tiny but we enjoyed the intimate setting. Also we were barely there, but it was cozy to sleep in. the kitchenette is loaded with useful stuff. We also made use of the guest manual to find a beautiful hike.One tip and only reason I’m not giving five stars across the board is there’s a light behind the showerhead which definitely doesn’t turn off from the inside of the unit. We tried every switch in the house. The rental company did not know how to turn it off either so I just gently unscrewed it and screwed it back in when we left. Problem solved!

Horrible experience we moved after one night the windows wouldn’t open. There was mold all over the shower curtain suffocatingly small unresponsive hosts emailed about several things. They never got back to me. Didn’t honor a refund when we left after the mold my husband is immuno compromised and we can’t be an unsafe stays like this truly makes me rethink going back to hotels, which is exactly what we did.
