We had a terrific time at Shadows Cottage. Part of me is a bit reticent to rave too hard about the house. I'll never get in again, right? It is in a quiet, lovely part of Carmel. The beach and a path is super close. The sun sinks low over Pebble, and you can watch golfers on the green, and the ocean beyond. The house is unbelievably well equipped, down to extra paper towels, detergent, etc. The stove, pans, and spices helped us prepare many big family meals. The bed in the master was super. The rooms on the main floor have great proportions, and fit couples or twenty somethings easily. The plantings around the house are great. The fireplaces are easy to use, and helped chase the chill away. It is a new, pristine house inside, and out. We loved it. Thanks again.

Shadow's Cottage is a beautiful home on a street corner right near the carmel gate to pebble beach, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and trees. Walking distance to the beach, and fireplaces in almost every room, this is a great getaway spot for a family or a few couples heading to events in the area or some R&R in carmel. The homeowner is very communicative, prompt, and accommodating. We've stayed twice and will no doubt stay again in the future.

Our stay in Carmel was wonderful and the house was comfortable, beautiful, and the location was perfect for access to the beach and easy walk to the town center.

We had a wonderful month in Carmel staying in this lovely home. The house had everything we needed for our stay. It we clean and comfortable. Also a very quiet area.The Bedroom arrangement made it easy for 2 couple to share, everyone had there own area and space. The Kitchen was fully equipped. The owner was very responsive to our need of "adding the Golf Channel" to the list of choices on the Cable package. An easy walk to town every day and only one block to walk along the path to the beach and Scenic Dr.

Tucked away is this slice of heaven. Access is easy but this wonderful house is near the Carmel beach and a block away from the 17 mile drive gate. Old world charm permeates every room in this house, yet still has all the modern amenities you would expect. The scenic paintings on the walls in rooms help you disappear into a relaxed state. We just loved it!!!!

Best location within blocks of the ocean and an easy walk to ocean ave. Great layout for privacy with Master bedroom separate from other bedrooms. Loved the gas fireplaces!

A cozy, well appointed home with a wonderful location. Carmel Beach and entrance to Pebble Beach a block away and shops, dining in Carmel by the Sea just a few blocks more. Home's maintenance and housekeeping and supplies excellent. Homeowner was readily available for any questions or concerns. Quick to address issues brought to attention.

Jana's house is absolutely perfect in every possible way: Perfect location to the beach and town, Perfectly well-equipped with everything one would need, Perfectly clean inside and out, Perfectly decorated in Carmel charm, and, most importantly, Perfectly managed by Jana who is just a text or phone call away! Once you are here you will not want to leave. We are already thinking about next year and we just returned home! You will not find anything better in Carmel!

Our family had a lovely time at Jana's beautiful home. Everything we could conceivably want was provided for and we felt welcomed from start to finish. I would highly recommend to each and every.

Thank you for sharing your house with us. We had a very nice the stay and the house was perfect for our family!

We rented this home for 8 nights June 2016. It was my husband and two children ages 9 & 12. The home is beautiful, clean, high quality and charming in everyway, beautiful gardens etc! Comfortable temperpedic mattresses in every room, high quality linens in every room. Plenty of towels and household supplies. Fully stocked kitchen with Viking stove and quality cookware and serve ware. There was a grill in the garage, we did not ask to use it-but it may be available to guests. Pantry had spices, coffee, coffee creamers etc. Plenty of dish soaps, bath soaps, garbage bags, cleaning supplies etc. The home was stocked, flashlights, phone chargers, literally anything you could think of needing was there! A great collection of movies for adults and children and nice children's toys for young children. You really only need to bring your own groceries. Jana was so responsive to any questions and even offered us the option of leaving late on the last day vs. rushing out. Fresh flowers and a bottle of wine on the dining table when we arrived. I have stayed in many home away and VBRO homes and have always had a great experience, but this one tops my list thus far! Carmel is breathtaking, plenty to do in the town, nice people, great restaurants and shopping with many high end retailers, beautiful beach with great people on them! We spent time in Big Sur and hiked several state parks! Must have a meal at Nepenthe in Big Sur!!! The views reminded me of my travels to Nice, France. Enjoy!!!

This home is beautiful! It's tucked away on a quiet street away from the bustle of town. It is a true retreat. You can see and hear the ocean from the master bedroom. Hardwood floors on main level, plus a spacious kitchen with sitting window where I enjoyed the fabulous flowers growing everywhere on the property. This place feels like a country retreat, and it lives like your own bit of luxury. A definite delight from day one. I look forward to another stay. P.S...I rented a car but never used it. I walked everywhere and I recommend wearing a good pair of trainers because of the hills-- It was fabulous!

We had a wonderful stay in Carmel. The property was a well appointed and classy property. Although we only ate in a couple of nights, everything we needed to cook we found in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and everyone loved the ever-present sound of the ocean, which was only a two block walk away. We've rented a lot of houses over the years and this was definitely one of the good ones! Carmel itself is a fantastic, quiet and quirky town with lots of galleries and good restaurants (although prices are pretty high, in general). It's a great location for day or half-day trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Point Lobos, Big Sur, etc. Jana was a pleasure to deal with - she responded quickly and helpfully and everything was as represented.
