Great setup for our family of 5 and an awesome location just a short walk to downtown Carmel by the Sea. We loved our stay here
4.5
This place is ideal for anyone looking to have a nice getaway in Carmel. The house was great size for our group. (we had 6 people and dogs) The outdoor area was spacious and fenced in, so it was perfect for our dogs to run around and enjoy the outside. It is within walking distance from downtown Carmel, and 15 min drive to Monterey. We had a bit of issues with the door code not working, but the host was quick in responding and resolving any questions/issues I had throughout the weekend.

This place was built in 1921 and has been updated. Very cozy and comfortable. True old Carmel feel.

We were disappointed in many aspects of this property. There is a great deal of noise from the main street location which continues long into the night. The rooms are much smaller than we anticipated to accomodate 6 people...not even enough furniture in the living room for 6 people to sit. Typical items one would expect just weren't provided - for example, there were no floor mats/rugs in the bathrooms getting out off the shower. The kitchen was not very well appointed - plastic plates, mismatched glasses and silverware, old pots and pans. The stove was filthy and the bbq was as well and was rusted and burned out in spots making it completely useless. We have rented in two other homes in Carmel and had fantastic experiences. This was our first real disappointment.

The location of this place was awesome. It was walking distance to Carmel Village. We hung out in the backyard with our two dogs. The only complaint would be how busy the street is. There was a large hole at the driveway and I have a 250 Ford pickup. My friends had a small Toyota. We bottomed out with our bikes on the back. The internet went down because the next door neighbor shut it off.

We had a great little vacation in Carmel. This little property was everything we were looking for. Convenient location. Beautiful backyard, lots of room for outdoor sitting and room for our kids to play and dog to run around. We would definitely rent this home again.

Great location easy walk to Carmel village. appeared to be recently remodeled. all accommodations or as described with expansive deck and backyard allowing for plenty of daytime guests and accommodating dogs as needed. Adhered to local parking regulations. Moderate Wi-Fi and some electrical lights not fully functional.

We loved our short stay at this storybook home! It is absolutely lovely and in a gorgeous location. The pics don’t do it justice. The grounds are meticulous, and the home was very well laid out to accommodate our family. We all slept well and truly enjoyed our stay! The host was responsive and helpful as well. Totally recommend!

This home is in a great location. It is just a short walk to the down town Carmel shops, restaurants and the beach. We enjoined walking around to see all the fairy tale cottages nearby. It was a clean, well stocked, comfortable rental property.

One word. Perfect. Met all of our expectations. Would BOL again in a heartbeat for our next visit.

We ask to check in early before we rented the property and got a reply from the manager that it wouldn't be a problem. the day Before going I send a text to the manager in the VRBO inquiry and never got a response. When we arrived at the property none of the beds were made and the house hasn't been clean. Very disappointed for paying that kind of money for 3 nights and have this kind of experience. Jean Yves

This is a great house in a great location but……When we checked found a working crew putting in new decking….Although glad they caught issue before stepped on the deck it just set the tone. My sister was not able to use the door la to the deck from her room because unfortunately crew did not complete. The deck furniture was all on the ground floor so couldn’t really use on deck as it wasn’t ready. Drive way entrance has a huge slope and although it was mentioned in the listing it didn’t really capture how bad the slope really is. I had a Tahoe and still it hit the bottom. Now for the pluses….great location on Ocean Ave….walking distance to shops and restaurants. Fireplace great and room separation worked perfectly. Only 2 cocktail glasses which was odd considering loaded with wine glasses. Over all we still had a good time

My family loved this house! Located a brief walk from the main downtown stretch of Carmel, it was a confortable gathering place. The living room is quite large and the backyard is huge and exceptionally well-maintained. Everyone was very happy with the house.

Our family had a wonderful stay at the home in Southeast Carmel. The home has a well stocked kitchen and plenty of warm blankets for cool evenings. We really enjoyed the beautiful back yard with 2 big eating areas and large deck area for relaxing. The location was perfect as our family enjoys being able to walk to stores and restaurants. Beautiful State Parks are a short drive away for anyone who loves nature. We would definitely stay in this home again!

The house itself is lovely. Clean, comfortable beds & linens, and great outdoor space in the back. It is also a straight shot to downtown Carmel in a safe neighborhood and very walkable. Getting into the driveway, however, involves crossing a large ditch and this was not disclosed to us. Fortunately I have an SUV so it wasn't a problem, but if you have a car that is low to the ground then you likely wouldn't be able to get in and out of the driveway and would have to park elsewhere. The lockpad on the door allowed us to unlock and enter but it would not allow us to lock the door from the outside so we had to lock the front door from inside then exit the house through a door in the back that we could lock and just close behind us. I notified the property manager and he said he would have someone come fix it but then never followed up and no one came to fix it. This brings me to communication with the property manager. We had a very unfortunate and unexpected death in the family and needed to adjust our stay. It also meant only half of us could be there. When I reached out to ask if he would give us a refund considering the circumstances his response was simply that it would be hard for him to rebook - no actual yes or no answer or options for any flexibility. I suggested that we could come for two other nights that week and requested he refund us for the third that we could not make. He was willing to shift the dates to allow for the nights that we could be there but refused to refund us for the third night that we could not be there. He said he would open it up on VRBO and refund us if it booked but when I looked it was not actually open for others to book. Best advice if you book this place - get the travel insurance.

Wonderful home very close to downtown Carmel. It’s an easy 1/2 mile walk into town and another half mile to the beach. Fabulous shopping. The house has three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. The listing says three bathrooms but the half bath does not have a shower. Very well equipped for a group of four or so. Fabulous communication with the owner/property manager.

This charming Carmel property with its very attractive garden was ideal for our group of six. It is centrally located - to the south is Pt. Lobos and Big Sur, to the north is Monterey, the 17 Mile drive and Pacific Grove. We dined in most evenings, and the square dining room table was perfect. for group conversation. We liked that you could open the adjacent french doors to bring the outside indoors. The back patio is also well suited for outdoor gathering/dining. The kitchen is sufficiently appointed, though it can use more flatware (limited number of forks) and wine glasses (only three, though there were champagne glasses). The bedrooms are nicely done, each with french doors leading outside. As such, each couple had their privacy when they desired it. Overall the interiors are well done, but walls can probably use some touch up. Also, as the house is located on Ocean Ave., which is the main street leading into Carmel, there is some traffic noise,, and pulling in/out of the driveway can be a challenge. Nonetheless, we all agreed we would stay here again.

We stayed with 4 friends in the house that reminded us of a French cottage. It was very clean inside and perfect for the 4 of us. All restaurants and shopping were 1 min away in a car so location was super convenient. We had a question for the owner while we were there and he was very responsive. Overall great trip and we’ll definitely be back!
