The house had a lot of nice areas for gathering - the dining room, kitchen eating area, two sitting rooms, patio. Our family members really liked the en-suite aspect of each bedroom. It was so nice to have our own bathrooms. The decor was lovely. Furnishings were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed, and appliances were user friendly and in good condition. Location was very pleasant and quiet.

Thank you for your lovely review! We look forward to your next visit!
We loved the location. Overall the house was well appointed and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we liked the dining areas. The house layout was unconventional, although we got used to it and came to appreciate it. For a family, I would have preferred the bedrooms closer to each other. The downstairs king bed was too soft for my comfort and the downstairs queen was squeaky. The rec room seemed a little musty, and so we didn't use it much. Otherwise, the house was clean and I really appreciated that there weren't any fake fragrance smells/overwhelming laundry detergent vibes that rentals often have. Overall I'd recommend.

The house exceeded our expectations. We would stay there again. The only improvement would be to move it to an ocean view lot.

Thank you for your lovely review! We look forward to your next visit!
We enjoyed our visit - it is a peaceful spot on the hill near Carmel, and is a great base for doing things in the area.The kitchen initially was short of basic things, such as enough pans and wine glasses, but staff was very quick to address those concerns.

We had three couples stay for three nights. It was a great house as there were three bedrooms with three baths; so we all got privacy but also a way to have communal meals and time together. The area is quiet and within easy driving to 17 mile drive and the aquarium.

Fantastic property with room to hang out with the group but also plenty of areas to read and relax. Just a few minutes to drive to restaurants. I will use this property again.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to your next visit.
The house was one of 8 properties we booked for Monterey car week. It was the perfect place to house colleagues and retreat from the daily hustle of our event. My only wish is that the team wasn't working so hard so they could have enjoyed the property more!!! Would book here again next year!

My husband and I are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in our Carmel nest. We hope you will consider visiting our home again in your next stay on our beautiful California coast
I rented this house for myself and family members to stay for my daughters wedding. It was perfect for our needs. Every bedroom was nice and had its own bathroom. The foyer and connecting yard are beautiful. The home is well stocked and beautifully decorated. We would definitely stay here again.
