We love Carmel Holiday because of its proximity to the beach and downtown, the fenced yard for our dog, and because it is comfortable and well-equipped. We've posted positive reviews in the past. We noted a few updates in the house this time, new heating and electric fireplace in the living room, new shower in the master bedroom, new washer and dryer. There were two downsides to our stay. I had planned dinners around using the oven. It worked one night, and the next, our last, it just wouldn't heat up. Had to move the meal to the stove top. Second, I'm sad the owners changed management from Sunset Vacation Rentals to Vacasa. We always had great service from Sunset. We needed to leave before our checkout date, and we could find no way to check out early on the VACASA app. We ended up stopping by Sunset Vacation Rentals on our way out of town, and they gave us the phone number for VACASA.

This is an older house which needs some updates. Dinning room table definitely needed refinishing. Stairs need vacuuming. Outside also needs clean up. The appliances were new and clean. Bedding in upstairs was worn .

This beach house was perfect for our girl’s trip. It’s well appointed, close to the beach and the shops on Laneda, and the yard is perfect and very pet friendly. We also really enjoyed the warm outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.

The location of this property is great. Walking distance to the heart of Manzanita and close to the beach. The house itself is quite large and can fit a lot of people. It was advertised as having a fireplace but unfortunately the fireplace had a sign that it was out of order. That really bummed us out because it was raining and part of our reason for booking was to have a fire. This property is managed by the vaCasa and when we had issues VRBO site and vacasa would not communicate. We also had to go to a location in town to get our keys and drop them off there as well. Not a huge deal but slightly annoying. My last complaint is more focused on the vacasa check out policy. The 10 AM check out time is ridiculous considering most hotels and motels allow an 11 AM check out. Forces you to rush. Ironically they will allow you to check out at a later time if you’re willing to pay. Oh and the cleaning fee which was as expensive as two additional nights was over the top considering they want you to do the laundry, empty garbage and start the dishes. So, I weight the cost and discovered we can stay with a dog at a hotel 3 blocks away for 1/2 the price, check out at 11 and not have to clean.

We love renting this house and appreciate all the ways it works for our family. It would be even better if we could use the stove to cook meals. We have rented the house several times and it continues to have 2 broken burners.

First we are returning renters who love the house. Please have someone look at the stove cooktop. The burners are all crooked and don’t fit the intended space. It’s very hard to cook on the stovetop. Also I wanted to BBQ this trip but couldn’t because there’s no charcoal-I could buy or bring my own if I know ahead of time-and there’s no BBQ tools anywhere.

Thank you for the lovely stay, perfectly located near beach and town. We love the wraparound deck and fenced yard plus large living/dining area

We have stayed at this home many times and have always enjoyed our stay. The location to the town, the park, and the beach is perfect. The house has plenty of space and a downstairs area where kids can have space of their own. We love that our dog is welcome and the yard is fenced. This has always been our favorite spot to gather with friends and family! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

We stayed at this house several years ago over Thanksgiving. It was nice but had a few quirky elements including a slightly scarey stair railing and some old shag carpeting. This Christmas was wonderful. New carpeting , new stair railings. Everything was clean and orderly. The kitchen had nearly everything you can imagine needing. We had a lovely time.

This house was the perfect place for our family getaway during a rainy weekend at the beach. With a big living room, we were able to gather around the fireplace and play games. I enjoyed how walkable it was to town, especially McGregor's Whiskey Bar! The space had ample supplies, and outdoor hose to wash dirty boots, clean towels and sheets. The second bathroom is very small, but we used the larger bathroom for showers. I do wish there was a vacuum on site to clean up sand at the front door.

Warm, comfy house, have been staying there yearly for over a decade. We love it! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

This home is a great family vacation rental! We loved our short walks to the beach and the main street. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths plus the comfortable living space makes it an excellent place for everyone to do what they want but still be 'together'! Thank you! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

Really good! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

OUr 2nd stay at this home, very roomy and comfortable. The upgrades(carpet, flooring, wall in kitchen and bannister was very nice. A great way to enjoy the new 2012 New Year with friends!! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

A full week of fun in the sun with my Kids & Grandkids. Plenty of room for all with 2 living areas and lot's of seating. Older home with all the good things a beach house should have. Would love to see some updates to the windows so they could open to air out the house. Like I said it is loder and so could use a small update in this area. also the doors might be updated or at least repaired/painted. All in all a terrific place so much so that I reserved it for another week in 2014. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

We had a great time staying in this home with our grandchildren. It is very close to the beach and the main street in Manzanita. I would definitely recommend it, and hope to stay here again next summer! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

This was a great house for family as well as a couple extras. Loved having a large yard for the kids and our dog. Close to beach, downtown, and the park. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

My friends and I stayed here for a girls weekend. The beds were comfy, there was lots of space for everyone and the house was clean. The house was very close to the beach and everything we could need was in walking distance. Sunset Vacation Rentals will have our business for several years to come!

Love the place. Super close to the beach and to downtown. We stayed in February so it was nice having a fire every night. Loved that it was pet friendly. We went with two other couples and had a fantastic time. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

We enjoyed our stay at the Carmel St Beach House in Manzanita. Nice location, near the beach. An older home with some dated stuff, but we expected that. It's a good value for the money, and it has some real soul as a family owned property. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

SSVR is a great rental company. This particular property had some real challenges - foundation was crooked/ seriously tilted floors (apparently from flood damage), rugs were dirty, basement bedrooms were uncomfortable, open dirty garage door, strange old locks on doors that took a day to figure out. Towels were damp on arrival and old personal items under the bed. Odd cabin unit on the property with overturned chairs. Not a welcoming experience. Very good location and lots of light.This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

Overall the experience was great. The baseboard heating made a clicking or ticking sound constantly so that made it hard to sleep at night since we could hear it. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

Carmel Holiday was a great place to have our small family vacation. We were 5 adults and two kids. The house was plenty big enough to fit us comfortably, and had everything we needed for cooking, socializing and relaxing. While not the fanciest place at the coast, it was plenty up to our standards. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

Great location & lots of space! We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

Just got back from a three night stay in this rental and we were very happy with it. There's enough room to spread out and let everyone have some quiet time, lots of deck space with views of the water. We will rent this one again.

This home was a great place to stay and relax within walking distance to the ocean. It allowed for ample room for the family to enjoy time together and for the furry friends to run around outside in a fenced back yard while we were on the porch enjoying the sunshine. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company

The house was in a great location, close to town and the beach. It has a good layout and accommodates six adults well. We were lucky to have perfect weather and it was nice to have a deck with a view of the ocean and of Neakahnie Mt. The fenced yard was great for our little dog, which we appreciated. The only negative thing I would say is that the house is old and has a lot of deferredl maintainance. The deck is rotting and someone could step through, and the siding is badly buckled, and there's a lot of rust on all the hardware. It was very clean, though, and we were comfortable.

Enjoyed this comfortable home with sunsets from our own deck. Well equipped for meals and fun times at the house. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company
