Beautiful Gardens!

David's place was the perfect spot for our girl's weekend! We loved how close the location was to both downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and the beach as well as the wineries in Carmel Valley. The gardens in the backyard are BEAUTIFUL and the most peaceful retreat for a quiet morning coffee. We loved our stay!

Perfect location and Serene Home

We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It felt very spacious, comfortable and the backyard is beautiful….full of blooming flowers, fruit trees, and butterflies. The proximity to town, groceries stores, coffee shops, and Carmel Valley couldn’t be more ideal. Highly recommend this cozy spacious home.

Perfect Family Vacation

The home was perfect for our family trip to Carmel. The location of the home was perfect for our plans in the Big Sur, Carmel area. The home itself was outstanding- with everything we needed to relax and enjoy our family time together. Yes, the beds are so comfortable - everyone slept very well. The backyard is a paradise. We felt very fortunate to have our stay at this home.

So very relaxing and close to everything!

Our annual girls trip was a huge success thanks to this amazing property. The home is so comfortable and quiet, furnished with everything you'll need. Back yard was so perfect for catching up over morning coffee. And a glass of wine in the evening. We would definitely recommend a stay here! We were so close to downtown Carmel and pebble beach.

This was our second stay at David's house and it was as good or better the second time. It is a beautiful home within credible gardens and perfect for 4 senior guys who are motorcycle racing fans. Hopefully we'll be back next year.

Beautiful Home in Carmel

I had a group of friends stay here for a wedding and I could not have been happier with the house and location. The backyard was beautiful and peaceful to walk through. Everything was clean and they even had a bottle of wine and a six pack of beer in the fridge for us! Incredible host that gave us plenty of suggestions for local food and drink. I would definitely recommend this house!
