We had a terrific stay and were glad to be able to take the dog. Great area for walking him and dog friendly area downtown. Owners were quick to respond to questions before and during stay. House had everything we needed, it was close to town, to the aquarium and 17 mile-drive. Many choices of where to eat or access to everything to make meals at the house. The hot tub was a good addition and we used some of the games available. Will certainly look for this property when we visit the area.

This property look just like the photos….one exception is that it’s bigger than I thought it would be. Upstairs which is entry level, two bedrooms, two baths. Lower level which is a flight of stairs down, a bedroom, bathroom, and what I would call, a family room. Lower level is your access to outdoor area. We really didn’t use it since the hot tub doesn’t really get very warm, but only the teens really wanted it anyway. The front deck (entry level) was used the entire time since the weather was gorgeous. Plenty of seating everywhere, inside and out. I was worried the traffic noise would be bad since several people mentioned it, but it was not distracting at all, hardly heard it even when outside. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything a family would need. The very only negative was its walking distance from Ocean Ave. I had thought I’d be able to walk there. While walking there was a nice long walk (30 min), walking back was uphill. However, that said, it was a VERY easy drive 3-5 min each way. Susan was the perfect host, just a phone call away (we only called once re the hot tub). And she was totally flexible with check in and out to accommodate my young grandson’s nap schedule. I love Carmel by the Sea and could not have asked for a more perfect house to celebrate my 70th.

Enjoyed all the little extras this vacation home offered. Plenty to do in the area with fantastic restaurants, shops and pubs. Our thing is golfing so this trip was a blast, played 3 rounds during our stay. I especially loved both 75 inch TVs in the living room and the overflow room. Beautiful weather was the icing on the cake. Looking forward to potentially staying again.

From the moment we walked in, we felt confortable and knew we made a great selection for our girls weekend. The home was clean and bright with plenty of room for 7 of us. Due to rainy weather we didn't use the hot tub as its uncovered. Some things to be mindful of: 1) there is loud road noise but only heard in main floor back bedroom and lower level open bed/tv area. 2) There are three full bathrooms but one of the upstairs bathrooms is a shared jack-n-jill style. 3) The front door uses a code to enter/exit but it was tricky to get the door to lock when exiting. Home is in upper Northeast Carmel and its a solid 20 minute walk to all the great spots in Carmel-by-the Sea (on Ocean Ave) or a five minute Uber ride in rainy weather. Great location for rental. So many different outside patio areas, but we didn't get to enjoy them due to weather. Would love to stay again!

Susan and Rob were excellent hosts for our stay in Carmel. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and they ensured we had a lovely weekend. Susan was very responsive to my questions and provided detailed responses. The home was beautiful. The space met our needs for 8 people comfortably. The departure instructions were easy to follow. We would definitely stay there again!
