Very nice/ comfortable/quiet

This is the perfect getaway cottage! It is full of personal touches and Barb thought of all our needs, including croissants for breakfast!!

We loved this cozy and clean space in Carmel! Barb was communicative and responsive and ensured we had a great stay! We can’t wait to visit again.

The cottage is located on a quiet street in the backyard of the owner’s home. We were greeted with a personalized note, a bottle of wine, croissants, along with snacks and a few water bottles. The property is walking distance to Carmel Beach and all the shops and restaurants. It is an easy drive to Monterey and we did a day trip going down PCH to Big Sur taking in beautiful coastline views and trail hikes. The listing showed a laundry icon but you had to click on view details to see it was directions to a laundromat. The cottage would be better with cross ventilation or air conditioning. A fan was provided to reduce the warmth built up through the day.

My fiance and I stayed here for Rennsport and we're so glad we booked this place to stay. The cottage had it's own walkway and the property was located in a quiet neighborhood, while also being a 15 minute drive from the racetracks / 20 minutes to downtown Monterey. Barb met us the first day and gave us the details about where to eat/what to do in the area. The cottage was had everything two people needed to cook a good breakfast and bird watch from the patio. The bathroom had a skylight and felt very roomy. We loved the chicken farmhouse theme of the whole cottage. The only slight challenge was very slow Internet. It was enough to load the text of an email in about 3 minutes, but no images or video. Data is also extremely spotty both in the neighborhood and in Carmel, the nearest town. So if you need to be online for work or access any online entertainment to wind down your day, there isn't much of a solution. The cottage is a bit of a walk from downtown Carmel, especially with some steep hills, but it was also refreshing to not have to find parking when we went into town for dinner. Overall a really charming location! A sweet spot for a quiet getaway.

Never have I ever imagined that a host would go to the lengths that Barb did. She had so many little treats around to make her guests feel right at home. The unit is private, beautifully decorated, well-maintained, well-located and cozy. I can't wait to return. Hands down, this is a five star stay!

We had a lovely stay in Barb’s backyard cottage. It was very private and quiet. The amenities and snacks were a wonderful addition to the cozy cottage. The bed was extremely comfortable. Barb made sure to check in with us that everything was great and was available if needed but also respected our space. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Barb has provided a beautiful vacation rental filled with all sorts of items that make the studio welcoming. From the wine and the treats to the exceptional amount of crockery and kitchen utensils, you will want for nothing. Did I mention the comfortable bed? We can highly recommend a stay her and, if ever we ever pass this way again, we would not hesitate to stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Barb's cozy cottage. She is a very gracious host. The amenities were perfect and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. It made our first visit to Carmel a very memorable and enjoyable one. Thank you Barb. Patricia and Denis Robinson Oakville, Ontario

This was a wonderful spot for our week long vacation to the central coast of CA. It was quiet location that was so peaceful and well equipped for all of our travels in the area. Barb was a great host offering tips for the area. Everything was very clean and larger than the photos! We would highly recommend this property.

Great place to enjoy the Monterey Peninsula. The sweet and salty snacks, croissants and bottled water were welcome goodies.

We have been coming to Monterey Car Wwek for 20 years and this has been our best VRBO location! A wonderful and convenient location- a perfect place to relax after the hectic pace during the day. Barb is a gracious host and made us feel right at home. If your travel plans include Carmel you definitely should consider this lovely cottage!

Good location. Property was as advertised.

Wonderful time, beautiful property, Barb's a perfect host and the accommodations are very peaceful. Great stay!

Great experience. Super comfortable accommodations. Only negative was spotty internet which host warned us about upon arrival.

We stayed in this comfortable cottage to attend four wonderful choral concerts at the Carmel Bach Festival. During the day we enjoyed the peaceful solitude of the cottage, or walked wooded paths into town, and walks along the sea and throughout the interesting neighborhoods of Carmel. The cottage is totally private and quiet of all sounds other than many many birds who delighted us with their aerial antics and flight paths. The amenities are more than we needed, and the bed is very very comfortable!

We came to Carmel for the Women’s US Open and were able to stay 10 days! Barb was great, and very accommodating when we needed to add the extra days. We loved this cottage. It was very quiet, comfortable and cozy! We will definitely book again when we come back to Carmel. Close to everything

The cottage was very nice. We appreciated the wine and croissants.Barb was great at getting back to us when we had questions. My only complaint was that there were a lot of decorations and not a lot of space to put our belongings. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay.

Great cozy quiet cottage with everything you need. Enjoyed it immensely. A pleasant walk to Village of Carmel, just a bit longer returning from village with street inclines. EBikes are fun option for local adventures. Thanks, Barb, for sharing your cute cottage!

Barb's place was perfectly situated in the quiet hills and perfectly appointed for a long weekend getaway. We walked down into town for meals and meandering multiple times a day (necessary to an extent, as there was literally almost no parking most of the time). It was the perfect walk to soak in the ocean air and walk off the rich food a little. Barb left lovely little check in goodies for us, which were much appreciated. Barb's place is full of light, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Would recommend it to anyone headed to the area.

We had a great time staying in this cosy tiny house on Barb’s property. She thought of everything when designing and stocking it, and made sure our stay was fantastic. She even went out of her way to greet us and see if we needed anything, as she was on her way out of town. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Highly recommend. Very comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, beautiful bathroom. Definitely will stay again.

We had a wonderful time at this guest cottage. It was clean and super charming! Barb is a very nice person and was very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable and we had all the things we needed. I would love to come back someday!

This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy some beautiful weather and beautiful setting. Barb was so kind and we loved meeting her and Baxter!

Barb and her husband were such lovely hosts to us the week of our wedding! We stayed here for three nights prior to moving locations and the cottage was perfect! It’s a studio but feels very spacious and is fully stocked with a kitchenette and anything else you could need. The gardens are so beautiful as well- easiest decision we made all week!

If you’re looking for a romantic place to stay in beautiful Carmel, look no further. Barb and her husband were very accommodating for us and we loved every minute of our stay!

We stayed in Barb’s cottage for three wonderful days and loved the comfort and cleanliness. The location was quiet and easy walk to everything in town , the room was very comfortable and we made our breakfast and dinner in the fully equipped kitchen. Barb is a wonderful host and greeted us with wine and treats ! My only suggestion for improvement would be to declutter the room and tables a bit, so there are more surfaces the guests could use .

This was a fantastic property to stay at. We stayed for the marathon. It was in a perfect location and was super cute. The hosts were fantastic as well. This was definitely a 5 star stay!

Beautiful cottage, perfectly appointed. The hosts provide absolutely everything we could possibly need during our stay; Cozy robes, blankets, several ways to make coffee :) Full kitchen perfect for making breakfast. The bed is AMAZINGLY comfortable. The patio and garden is just charming, we loved it!

We stayed at this lovely property for 3 nights and it was the perfect size for my husband and I. Barb had the cottage beautifully decorated and it was very clean. She left us some delicious croissants for breakfast and the wine and snacks were very much appreciated. The outside garden area shows the hosts love of gardening and we have never seen so many orchids that were blooming. We would definitely stay here again.

Carmel, this neighborhood and this bungalow are all terrific. Barb has thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay.

We found this adorable cottage in Carmel. It was a nice, 2 day very relaxing place to take a break from our drive from Iowa to meet iour daughter and family on the Oregon coast.
