This cottage really is perfect. As many have mentioned, the kitchen has everything you will need for cooking. It is really nice that the pantry is full of all the basic necessities - including coffee! The house has a wonderful layout - there are several places for people to gather - so it is conducive to letting the kids play in one area or watch TV in another while the parents relax and have a cocktail in another sitting area or even outside. It really is minutes to downtown Carmel and super convenient to making a trip to Monterey as well. It is impeccably clean and it has the easiest check-in and check-out process of any VRBO that I have ever rented!

We had a wonderful stay at the Gingerbread Cottage in Carmel. Our host, Bob, had great communication. The space was perfect for my husband, myself, my daughter and a friend. It was a great location for our visit with our son who lives in the area and all that we wanted to do in Monterey and Carmel! The kitchen was well equipped for us to host a few family dinners. We were able to walk to downtown Carmel. Beautiful home and beautiful area.

The cottage was a perfect place for our visit to Carmel. It sits in a quiet neighborhood but yet close to jumping on hwy 1 so you can go to Monterrey or Big Sur. Which we drove to both and enjoyed the scenery this beautiful area has to offer. The cottage had all the amenities we needed. The fireplace was a nice touch and we loved eating outside on the patio. Definitely a place I will book again!

Quiet Cozy Cottage

We have stayed here for years and appreciate the location, the attention to details and the cleanliness that is always there. We like reading in front of the fire and the comfort of the bedrooms.

My husband and I rented this cottage for five nights. My cousins joined us for three of the nights. The 2 bedroom/2 bath cottage is decorated nicely. There’s plenty of room for two couples. The kitchen is well equipped. I did purchase an ironing board which I left at the property for future guests since one was not provided. There’s an outdoor patio in front of the cottage with a table and chairs. The driveway is pretty steep but there is enough room for two smaller vehicles. You can also park one right in front of the cottage. We arrived after the 4pm check-in time and the property manager was still there cleaning so we had to wait a few minutes for her to finish outside of the cottage. For the most part, the cottage was very clean, but there were areas in the kitchen and master bath that needed further cleaning which I did. Communication with the owner was great as he responded to all my messages on Vrbo and also we communicated via text. I would definitely rent this cottage again when in Carmel as the location is great and close to everything you’d want to see like Pebble Beach, 17-mile Drive, Monterey, Point Lobos. Besides the great restaurants and shops in Carmel, I’d recommend whale watching and seeing the bagpiper at Pebble Beach, who plays every day at sundown rain or shine.

The property was quite comforbable and we settled in quickly. Kitchen was fullly stocked somhad no problems cooking some meals in. We had trouble with television so gave up on it. We did fine without it just played cards and talked, which is how it was supposed to be. Had a great time and would recommend to others.

Great vacation. Weather was pretty good. Nice central location to everything we wanted to do
