"The charming cottage was a delight. I enjoyed just being there and savoring the peace and tranquility of the cottage's interior and also the patio outside where there were plenty of different areas to sit and relax listening to the birds chirping in the pines. The owners have provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. The property is less than a 5 minute drive into Carmel by the Sea and other areas of interest are easily accessible. I would love to stay there again, and next time stay...

"My friends and I hoped for a lovely weekend get away in the Carmel area and that's exactly what we got. House was perfectly located, 10 minute drive from downtown Carmel. We could easily Uber/Lyft to and from, even though it was in a gated community. It was a beautiful house, exactly as listed. 4 main bedrooms & one office with 2 twin pullouts (not super comfortable). 3 great bathrooms, and great public spaces (living room, dining room, kitchen, porch and back yard). We did not have any...

"We (8 of us) found the house very conducive to a large group of women. Each of the four bedrooms had very comfortable king beds, and the decor was very inviting. Also, it had multiple seating areas where we could either gather all together or separate into the different areas. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, very close to the 17 Mile Drive and coast. We didn’t do any cooking of any kind, so I can’t attest to the stove or cooktop, but it did have a nice large refrigerator. It only has two...

"Fabulous 3bd, 2bth in Seaside, just north of Monterey. Great location, easy to get around, small market, liquor store and bakery within walking distance. Well appointed, truly lovely.
