Spent month of February at this cozy VRBO. Excellent location 4 blocks from downtown Carmel. Very walkable, but steep - benches along the way if needed. Very charming and coastal decor indoors. Well furnished and stocked with everything we needed. Nice sized bedrooms seperated - one on each level. So many wonderful beaches and restaurants nearby. Chuck and Diane were perfect hosts.

The property is perfect - charming, roomy, comfortable, and an easy walk to the glorious beach and super-charming village of Carmel, where beauty - both natural and human-made - is everywhere. The hosts were very kind and helpful, responding promptly to a weather-related issue. They took good care of me. I loved my month there and would highly recommend both Carmel and this property, called "Out of the Blue," as a great place to visit. It was hard to leave!

My husband and I rented for the month of Feb. 2023. We found this cozy cottage perfect for us and the occasional couple we had visit, and being walkable to town and the beach were perfect for all. Being older, our only challenge was backing up the steep driveway to a busy street. Chuck and Diane were perfect hosts: They were communicative immediately if we needed them and they left a binder full of restaurant recommendations and everything to do in the area. The house felt like a home and had the amenities of a home, not a rental. We hope one day to return to this darling cottage where we now have wonderful memories.

We really loved staying at Out of the Blue and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it if you are thinking of staying in Carmel. We used the house as a base to work from as well as explore. It’s fantastic as you can walk into town in minutes (walk back is up a steep hill) so you don’t always have to use the car. I said ‘house’ but I’m not sure that does it justice. The artistry and creativity is incredible! The way they decorated the house - in fact it doesn’t do it justice to call it “decorating a house” - Out Of The Blue is a work of art from top to bottom! and it is a visual feast for the eyes! We loved the beautiful mosaics so very much 😍 And Chuck and Diane have such skill and incredible attention to detail - from sea-themed tiling and mosaics to lamps to bedding and more. Wow! 🤩 We even loved the side cabinet in the living room which is painted so beautifully with a lighthouse and also love the frames covered in seashells. Their skill and creativity has transformed a house into something magical and very special indeed! We really were so very impressed with how much love, artistry and creativity has gone into crafting your house. It’s a masterpiece! Our guests (who left after a few days) were also in awe of your artistry and they loved the few days they stayed. Chuck & Diane left a very kind note on the kitchen table, we felt most welcomed by it 😊 (I’m a greeting card designer, so I always appreciate the thought and care that goes into a hand written note. It really was so welcoming, thank you). So if you want to stay in something more than a ‘house’ in Carmel. Out of the Blue is the place for you.

This property is on Ocean Avenue which is a busy stree but it is set back and it’s very quiet. The home is well appointed. The kitchen has all the equipment you need to stay and cook in house or walk to excellent nearby restaurants. Garbage pickup is the only noise you hear. The beds are comfortable. And we’d stay here again.

Stayed at this lovely home for six weeks and had a great experience. The home is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable and best of all within walking distance to downtown Carmel. Plus a short distance from Highway 1 and so many options for trips to Big Sur, Monterey etc. Highly recommend Out of the Blue if you are visiting Carmel.

Delightful and Charming! Spacious and good location for sightseeing the Monterey peninsula and Point Lobos. The owners are gracious and take pride in this property. We loved the deck off the upstairs bedroom. A perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine- which can be chilled in the new refrigerator. Lots of glassware in a large kitchen with mosaic counter ( very nice!) There are large windows across the back of the property making this home seem even bigger.Trees keep everything private but open to the outside. The downstairs bedroom is large with its own indoor fireplace and access to a patio and an outdoor fireplace. The gas grill is also great to have - but there are so many wonderful places to eat in Carmel that we only used it one night. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Many positives about this property! Thanks C and D for your hospitality!

Beautiful house with great attention to detail. Well stocked with everything you need. Private, relaxing back yard with fire pit and grill. Right on Ocean Ave with easy access to town. Follow Ocean Ave straight down to Carmel Beach. Forest theater just around corner. Large bedrooms and nicely flowing living room, dining room, and kitchen. Chuck and Diane are a delight. Of note, about 10 steps up to main level with a bedroom on ground level. Ocean Ave is relatively steep from Junipero to Carpenter. Drive way was also relatively steep. These were not issues for me.

This is a charming house well equipped with all things necessary for a relaxing stay in Carmel. It is located on one of the main streets but it was not noisy at all. If you choose to walk downtown there is a sidewalk- walking back up may be a bit steep but not too bad. Easy access to Route 1 and the 17 Mile Drive with its golf courses. The owners made us feel most welcome and we highly recommend this property!

"Out of the Blue is even better the 2nd time around. Returning here made it feel like it was our own beach cottage! I love the master bedroom downstairs. It is so cozy with the mosaic tiled fireplace. We loved all the decorations and felt quite at home. Thank you once again.

From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. From the welcoming card to the chilled wine, we felt immediately at home. The location was ideal because we could walk to most of the shops and to the beach. The weather was ideal which made it particularly enjoyable. We really enjoyed using the passes for the acquarium. Out of the Blue was charming and met all our expectations. We would recommend this property to anyone visiting the Carmel area.

March 27, 2010 Dear Chuck and Diane, I wish we could have stayed for much longer. Our days were never dull. We hiked, kayaked, bicycled, and walked all over Carmel by the Sea. Out of the Blue is a perfect home for visitors like us. It is so beautiful and comfortable that it did feel very much like home, especially when we returned each afternoon following one of our adventures. This is such a welcoming retreat and I knew it would be perfect when we were greeted by the fragrant and beautiful fresh flowers. I look forward to returning. Many thanks from each one of us. Mary, Joe, John, and Emily

April 2, 2010 Dear Chuck and Diane, Out of the Blue has been the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of our every day lives. We’ve enjoyed the days we’ve spent here and only wish there could have been more of them. We found your home to be absolutely amazing and were enchanted by all of the little details that made us feel so at home here. The Central Coast was a wonderful vacation spot and we look forward to returning. Thank you. Jessica, Mike and Tori Las Vegas

We spent a week in this lovely cottage near downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Our experience was absolutely positive. Everything was clean and as neat as a pin for our arrival. The decor was delightful, the kitchen well-equipped, the bedrooms very comfortable. We has not one complaint about the cottage, and guests that we entertained during our stay were very impressed with the property. We would love to return to Carmel and spend another week in this great little hideaway!!

We have had a wonderful stay here to complete our trip to California. This house is delightful and is perfectly located. We so enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the nautical decor, the attention to detail, and the bottle of wine! We certainly recommend Out of the Blue to anyone who is planning a trip to this charming village. Thank you for a fantastic week--this home is so comfortable for two couples.
