'Carmel Tranquility' 2 Beaches 6 and 9mins walk from a bright & airy beach home

8/10 Good

"Great place that in our opinion is actually nicer than the photos indicate. The garage that has been turned into a playroom was a huge hit for our kids. They especially loved the boombox that plays CDs and cassettes! We unfortunately had to deal with an ant invasion while we were there, but the property manager was very responsive in providing bait that was stronger than the plastic Raid traps scattered about the house. Property is located at the southern end of town, which requires either a drive or 15 minute walk into the center of Carmel by the Sea. Carmel River State Beach is about a 1/2-mile south."
