About the host
Hosted by Melissa Smith

My extended family and I have been vacationing in Carmel-By-the-Sea for decades. I have been hosting guests at my vacation rental properties in Michigan for almost two decades. I love being a virtual concierge to help you have a phenomenal vacation
Why they chose this property
I absolutely love this location with its easy walk to Ocean Ave or the Carmel Plaza or right into the woodsy trails of the Mission trails nearby. Just 10minutes and you are walking along Scenic Drive (but don’t have to deal with crowds when you are ready to retreat home!)
What makes this property unique
The Story Book cottage captured our attention for its easy indoor-outdoor living, its many gathering spaces, but also its ability to find privacy. Lovely ground floor living makes it easy for all generations to enjoy!
