This was just as advertised. The location was perfect for my wife and I. We were a 12 minute walk to Downtown and about the same the other direction to Carmel Mission Ranch and west to the beach. We walked every day either to get to one of the great restaurants or to power walk for exercise. The owner was very accommodating and responsive! Plenty of supplies, etc.

We loved our stay at this cottage and wished we hadn't been working so many hours a day so we could have had a chance to enjoy the outdoor area a little! The bedrooms were comfortable, having two full bathrooms was a must for us and both were well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room was great for hanging out after a long day. The cottage is within walking distance of downtown Carmel and is a quick drive from Crossroads which has a ton of shops and restaurants

We had a perfect stay in Carmel. The house was a short walk to town and extremely well stocked with all kinds of supplies. We loved the charm of of the home…classic Carmel at its finest. The large backyard was delightful for eating outside or just reading a book. Great linens and towels for everyone. We didn’t hang out on the beach since we were there for the US Women’s Open but there were all kinds of beach supplies in the garage. I even had time to read one of the many books on their shelves. We were pleasantly surprised with the thoughtful welcome gifts. The owners were wonderful to communicate with by email & text. We can’t wait to return. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

This was our second month long stay. Once again the house was extremely well equipped and supplied which proved particularly useful when the power in Carmel went out for 80 hours. Despite that, the gas stove and a hot water system that performed well throughout and an ample supply of lanterns made this a very comfortable adventure. We will be back.

This cottage has everything you need for a week plus stay in Carmel. The cottage is perfect for a couple or 2 couples/singles traveling together. The owners have thought of many nice touches which make the home inviting. It is clean, well kept and the beds are comfortable. The location is close to town too.

This cottage is roomy and comfortable. The two master bedrooms are well-separated for privacy, and each has a good bathroom. It is just a 15 minutes walk to town or to the beach. The cottage has generous amenities including a well-equipped kitchen, lots of chars and toys for the beach, and very comfortable beds. The hosts communicated directly and we found everything in well-maintained working order. We have already booked another visit.

This house is described as a ‘cottage’ however had ample room for 4 adults and a great kitchen space. It was immaculately clean and the kitchen included everything that we needed, including glasses for all occasions!
Location cannot be beat—easy walk to beach (if a gentle slope uphill on way back works for you) and to Ocean Ave. The home was a base for us to explore things close and a little further afield—point Lobos, Moss Landing, Big Sur and Pinnacles National Monument.
Owners were very responsive to our communications and we were welcomed with very generous gifts that included local wine and chocolates.
Would stay here again!

Charming for certain
This is a beautiful house, in an outstanding location, with wonderful hospitality. It was the perfect spot for my wife and her friend to spend a week relaxing and exploring the beautiful seascape of Monterey and vicinity. Carmel-by-the-sea was a lovely town. Much to do and see and wonderful dining. Dana and Sharon were very accommodating and the cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Thank you so much !

Everything you can think of is in the house and there is nothing the owners have not thought of. The house is immaculate and the furnishings are all very nice. The location is also nice as the walk to ocean Blvd, the main street in Carmel is an easy 7 block walk. The propane fire pit in the back yard is an added bonus. I highly recommend this property and owners. We have booked 9 VRBO houses around the world and This one was a great find and the best VRBO rental we have booked .

We have rented many, many homes in Carmel through the years and rate this one at or near the top of the list. Walking distance to downtown, ocean and Mission for Mass. Exceptionally clean with ever amenity for a nice, comfortable stay. We will stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Nice home, in quiet, sun-drenched setting! The home was clean and comfortable and the spaces well thought-out. Great owners too, as they helped us with restaurant choices, had some gifts waiting for us upon arrival, while also graciously receiving feedback regarding a few minor things that needed tended to.

Amazing cottage and even better location!
We had the best time spending the month of April at the house. We could not have been in a better location- just a couple blocks from both the ocean and town. The house was spacious and we enjoyed the fireplace, eating outdoors and grilling. Everything one could need was also available- beach towels, chairs, picnic basket etc. We really had the best time and can't wait to return!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The home is clean and comfortable. Towels and linens were like new. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to prepare a meal and serve it. The dining area is in a nook with windows all around that creates a sunny spot to enjoy morning coffee. The beds were super comfortable as was the living room furniture. You could not ask for a better location. 6 blocks to the city, 5 blocks to the beach and 5 blocks to the Mission. All in all a quiet location with great walking access.We would definitely stay again.Roland & Colette Chamberland

We are grateful for the wonderful experience at this vacation rental. Walkable to both the beach and commercial streets, the location was perfect for our family needs. The house had charm and all the conveniences we needed to relax and reenergize. The owners are incredibly helpful and responsive.

Lovely Stay at "Kisses From Heaven" Cottage
LOVED my stay at this "Kisses From Heaven" cottage in Carmel. It was perfect for an extended stay where every comfort felt like home...except with the benefit of sunsets in an easily walkable 7 blocks to the beach at Scenic Drive. Carmel-By-The-Sea shops, wine tasting rooms, and the market are all in walkable distance which made for a very nice stay with very little time in the car. The Carmel Mission Basilica and Mission Ranch are just a few blocks away. Every thoughtful detail (including welcome gift) in this house was appreciated - including beach towels and chairs perfect with February weather that allowed for a few days at the beach. The side entrance makes the house very private, and the backyard with beautiful landscaping and a nice firepit are perfect for time outside with a good book, cup of tea, or glass of wine. High ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, desk, large screen TV (with Netflix and Prime), and game table in the family room all lent themselves to time spent writing, reading, and relaxing with great conversation or a movie. King beds were comfortable with all bed and bath linens new and of great quality. Owners were 100% responsive from the moment my reservation was booked. Will definitely hope to return to this Carmel cottage again!

Ideal cottage
We really enjoyed this house it’s a very comfortable and nicely furnished two bedroom house with off-street parking and a private, well equipped backyard. The kitchen has spices, cooking oil, condiments, salad dressing, coffee filters, etc. I’ve rented homes before where there is only salt and pepper.
It’s a pleasant seven block stroll to the center of Ocean Avenue.
I can’t say enough about how pleasant a place it is for a week’s stay.

Wonderful memories....
What an amazing week!! Could not be happier with this adorable little cottage. Location was amazing, and convenient to everything.. we could actually hear the sea lions barking in the morning.
I would definitely recommend this cottage. The owners were so easy to work with and accommodating.

Exceptional vacation stay
This was our first VRBO booking, and the home was everything it claimed to be, with the little extra touches by the host making it really special. We felt like we were guests visiting a friend's home that had just been completely remodeled in the interior. Further, the location was perfect to walk to Ocean Ave or the Scenic Drive beach.
