About this house rental

This beautiful 6000 sq. ft. house is located on multiple, private, oversized Carmel-by-the-Sea lots. Steps from Carmel River Beach, the 'Love' house has been in the same family for generations, making guests feel immediately at home. Breathtaking redwood cathedral ceilings crown this refreshingly authentic 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom Carmel home built in the late 1920’s.

The expansive backyard is perfect for family gatherings, reunions, wedding parties, special events, outdoor recreation and entertaining. It features a very large lawn and patio area, BBQ and pool heated from March 15 until September15th. There is also ample off-street parking and a large 2-car garage.

Features include a large living room with old growth natural redwood, vaulted ceilings, and stone fireplace. It has a grand piano, ample seating including a game table and chairs. Bay windows overlook the beautiful gardens, patio, and outdoor pool. The formal dining room has views of the gardens. The large kitchen includes a breakfast table. The house also includes wireless internet access for use with phones and laptop computers.

On the main level, the large, all redwood master suite offers a king bed, vaulted ceilings, a large flat screen TV, stone fireplace, dressing room and large master bath with Jacuzzi tub. Also located on the main level is a bedroom with queen bed, a bedroom with two twin beds, and an bedroom office with one twin bed.

Upstairs there is a cozy den with a balcony that overlooks the main level living room. The den also contains a comfortable couch and overstuffed chairs for relaxing in while watching the large flat screen TV. There is a DVD player and movies on demand are also available.

Also located upstairs is a large billiards room that contains a pool table and a twin convertible daybed. There is also a lovely bedroom with queen bed and bathroom.

In addition to the main house, there is a charming studio guest house with full accommodations (sleeps 3), which is available upon request.

We have a very large level astroturf lawn in the back yard perfect for soccer, bocce ball, corn hole, badminton etc. From the back lawn there is a view out to the Carmel River Beach. We have seen whales spouting from our back lawn!

The house is huge. Loads of space including a large living room with a piano and fire, a games room with large pool table, ping pong in the basement, and a very large garden (especially for Carmel). Also the pool has been recently redone and was welcome during our stay as the sun shone the whole week. The decor is “old fashioned” but quaint and fitting the Carmel old style and history of the house, We had one minor issue with the pool heating not being on and it took a couple of days until we could use it but the owner gave us some guest cards for Monterey Aquarium to make up for it and the issue was resolved as soon as they could The location of the house however is the standout for us. Right next to the quieter Carmel River Beach and you can see the ocean from the garden and hear the waves at night. We would definitely stay again !

This property was all we hoped for and more. With a pool, big lawn, grand piano, billiards and a chess board we were well entertained. We had two babies with us so appreciated the pool fence, the crib, the high chairs, stroller and stair gate! All were very helpful tools that we didnt' have to haul in our cars. The beds were fairly comfortable and the kitchen had all the supplies needed for food prep and serving. We mostly ate out but did grill once. Proximity to the beach and walking path were the favorite amenities! Thanks so much to the Love family. We hope to repeat this wonderful vacation next summer.

A marvelous and magical home and location, this historic gem was perfect for our family stay. The house layout allowed kids and adults great spaces to play, relax and connect. The gardens and outdoor play spaces were great and the short walk to one of our favorite beaches was ideal.The owners were super responsive to our requests and questions. We are planning our return already.

We were privileged to enjoy this beautiful and well appointed home for a full week. The location felt 'tucked away' while still allowing us to be steps from the beach and a reasonable walk from Ocean Avenue and all the restaurants, shops and services of Carmel. When we weren't exploring the area we enjoyed being in the home and playing board games, chess or billiards. Using the outdoor pool on warm afternoons was also a treat! We dined in on several evenings, after hiking one of the nearby state or national parks, and found the kitchen well equipped for every kind of cooking and serving. All in all we found the home and its setting perfect in every way!

Location can’t be beat, short half block walk to Carmel River state beach, few blocks from main Carmel beach. House has everything you need, all cooking utensils and spices needed to cook, beach towels and toys, games. Our extended family had a great time cooking meals and enjoying the amazing back yard when not at the beach.

The. Love. house. is. perfect. Location: Picturesque property with all of the space and amenities you could ask for barely 1/2 a block from the beach in Carmel. Views of the ocean are visible from the backyard. We could hear and fall asleep to the serene ocean when the windows are open. The architecture of the surrounding neighborhood in conjunction with the ocean views are simply stunning. We found ourselves wandering around each morning observing the magnificence of the houses in the neighborhood. Quaint downtown Carmel Is 1.5 miles (20 mins walking or 5 min car ride). Carmel Crossroads shopping mall is 5 minutes away if you need groceries or want to go shopping. Property: The layout and backyard are huge with lots of inside and outside space for activities. There are tons of board games and outdoor games in the garage. The pool was the right temperature to cool us off in the heat of the day. BBQ works well and was stocked with propane and necessary equipment/utensils. It features a large garage easily letting you fit 2 cars + 2 cars in the driveway and 2 cars can fit in front of the house if you needed the extra parking. The host and property manager were both very nice and left clear instructions on the check-in and out and pool usage. All in all, this is an 11/10 property and I highly recommend it. If I could come back each summer for the rest of my life I would!

Awesome week! The house, pool & grounds were easy to enjoy. Very short walk to the beautiful Carmel River beach. We also played ping pong in the basement and shot pool on the table upstairs. We enjoyed having a fire in the living room's large stone fireplace one cool evening. We celebrated a wedding with a small dinner/reception in the back yard with the owners prior approval and it was amazing. Owner/manager were easy to communicate with and getting in was a breeze. The house looks just like the pictures. Highly recommend.

Overall, this property was perfect for my family of 9 and having spent a lot of time in Carmel is truly a one-of-a-kind finds. It is very close to the State Beach and an easy 20 min walk or drive / bike into Carmel town center. I would absolutely rent here again, the place was very clean, spacious and relaxing for us all without feeling like we were on top of each other but room to also gather. My communication with the host was very efficient, speedy and she is very responsive. We did run into two issues while we were staying at the property which were unpleasant. One is that there was a neighbor who was constantly monitoring us, especially on check-out day. He was staring at us from the street as we were loading our vehicles and ensuring all trash was placed in the proper receptacles. The other issue was a rental company who was supposed to bring 2 tables and chairs to the beach for a set up, who then refused to do so and left us stranded at the house with the furniture until a second truck was available for pick up a couple hours later. The rental company also left additional furniture (empty wine barrels) in front of the house that were not ours. During this chaos of dealing with the rental company, the host stopped by and we had an incredibly unpleasant exchange. I fully acknowledge this was against house rules; however both the host and we were in a complete bind on what to do as the rental company would not take the furniture until a second truck was available. We did ensure there were no additional guests at the house as we had an extended family beach day, but all to say that be sure to follow the house rules as this is very important and even through mistakes I wish the experience was different. In the end we both apologized for the missteps, errors and terse communication and I would stay there again. The house and location are lovely.

We are 6 guys who work as volunteer hole marshals every year at the US Open. This place was by far our favorite place to stay. Such a neat old house, very relaxing, and a great location for our work at Pebble Beach.
