This home was so warm and comfortable. My boyfriend and I settled in and enjoyed all 4 weeks. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and walking to stores and restaurants in Carmel. I highly recommend staying here.

Charming little cottage close to the village, yet on a peaceful, quit, calm street. Wendy has created a beautiful, well appointed, comfortable and clean place to spend a month - or two. My wife and I have rented homes all over North America and Europe and this is easily one of our favorites. Looking forward to another stay.

Dan and Wendy are excellent hosts. We have stayed in many VRBO properties but none matched the cleanliness of this-it was immaculate! Location is great for walking access to shopping/restaurants. Everything was wonderful!!

This sweet cottage was the perfect 'home away from home ' for our 6 week California escape. Comfortable, well appointed in a lovely relaxed environment, you can easily walk to the down town, or put your feet up in front of the great fireplace. The bedrooms located at the rear of the house provided a comfortable peaceful place to rest after a busy day. We look forward to staying here again... hopefully sooner vs later!

The house was your adorable Carmel cottage! We immediately felt comfortable and enjoyed every second of our month long stay. Walking to town and experiencing some great restaurants and walking home! Quiet friendly neighborhood. Really appreciated having the ability to have our furry kids with us also. Would love to return! Have to also say one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed! Thanks for having us!

We enjoyed our September here. We did not need much interaction with our hosts and the property was as described. Be sure you are ready to climb and descend many hills if you plan to access town regularly on foot, which we did. It is part of Carmel's charm, after all. Small, clean and cozy - a good fit for 2 or 3. We found a nice space on back patio for coffee in mornings. Kitchen again small but well equipped. Since we believe all rentals are monthly in Carmel, it could definitely use a smart tv, especially given the lack of programming available on their Direct TV (easy remedy). Perhaps a bathroom fan or even a small portable one for hallway (another easy one). We had access to a bike for the month but no protected place to store it so we got more walking in. We would return, especially if those very simple things were to happen.

This past April, we sold our home in a blink and without a Plan B. This cottage in Northeast Carmel caught our attention as a perfect place to recover and regroup. The house is charming, one of the quaint, older Carmel houses that has been nicely updated. It is compact, freshly painted, very clean, and Marie Kondo couldn't have organized it more efficiently. The kitchen has everything you need from cleaning supplies to food processor, all seem barely used, and there is no clutter. We found the bedrooms (and beds) very comfortable with good sized closets and plenty of dresser space. The two bathrooms are not ensuite but just a few steps away, and the deck off the two bedrooms is a lovely place to eat or have cocktails. What we especially appreciated about this rental was its dog friendliness. Also, the hosts were very accommodating when we needed to alter our dates after the fact. They really do care about the comfort of their guests and you see it in all the thoughtful details. We would definitely stay here again.

I loved my stay at this property. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. Parking is scarce in Carmel, this property has ample off and on street parking. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. The host even provided full size bath amenity's. Everything was very organized in the kitchen and through out. I had short weekend visits from my Son while I stayed. He and his wife enjoyed walking to the beach through downtown Carmel and back. The two bed two bath set up with French Doors to the outside give the house a feeling you are in a large property. The Host is lovely. I would love to stay again next year if the property is available.

We had a memorable getaway in this storybook cottage, it’s exactly as described and pictured. Delighted by the owner’s thoughtful attention to detail, we appreciated everything Wendy provided to make our stay so very comfortable, especially during COVID. We relaxed on the beautiful deck listening to the birds by day and the sounds of crashing waves in the evening. The fireplace and light filled windows, quiet neighborhood in the ideal location was such a sweet setting for our escape to Carmel. We would love to revisit. Thanks again Wendy

I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful home and owner. My adult daughter, my dog and I stayed for 2.5 months during COVID restrictions, with my husband visiting on weekends. We ALL loved it. We walked every morning, we tried MANY of the local restaurants, we BBQ'd on the back deck, we worked remotely, and I rented a bike from the local shop and I rode out and played tennis at the Pebble Beach & Tennis Club every other day or so. The house is well appointed with every item, utensil, cleaning product and everything we could have needed/wanted. I would definitely recommend this home. Thank you, Miss W! Jerri

We loved this place. The bed in the master was perfect and the fireplace took the chill out of the early morning air. Very comfortable cottage. Wendy and Dan we responsive to a request when we arrived and wonderful to rent from. The only thing I would recommend to bring if you are a cook, is any spices you cant live without. There was salt and pepper. We loved thid cottage and would definately stay again!

I would love to stay here again next time we travel to Carmel! This adorable cottage has been thoughtfully furnished and well supplied to make one feel right at home. I was impressed with the kitchen -complete with everything we needed, with pretty bed linens and comfortable beds, quality bath towels, and tasteful furnishings just right for a cottage in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Wendy communicates well and responded promptly to any questions. We walked everywhere and also took some fun trips to Big Sur, Carmel Valley, and more. The gas fireplace was delightful on cool nights. Highly recommend!
