I found the house to be aging quite nicely. I was disappointed with the owner watching cameras and then texting me. Some minor repairs needed. Overall the house was comfortable. Very quiet neighborhood. I didn't understand having a deck with tables and chairs for more than 8 people. The owners request is no more than 7 people on site. We would have used the deck if lounge chairs were available. My wife was very uncomfortable with the cameras
Our stay was great and the home provided our family plenty of space. Just sad there was no hot tub as listed on the home’s amenities… and Ron gave us some great suggestions for activities to do in the area!
Perfect for 4 of us to relax in a homey environment with beautiful views of the hills of Carmel. Very quiet, lots of room to relax, very close to Carmel-by-the-sea, Point Lobos, and Monterey. Perfect place to escape….
We had an amazing stay in Carmel. The host of communicative and helpful. The home was as spotless and was conveniently located to major attractions. We would definitely book again!
A very nice home, clean and roomy, comfortable couches and beautiful kitchen, beds were comfortable we felt safe and close proximity to point lobos hike, Carmel beach, aquarium and cannery row. I would stay there again.
This property was a perfect fit for friends visiting the Monterey/Carmel area. Easy off street parking, roomy home with comfortable areas to gather or find a quiet space to be alone. Would definitely book again!
Great experience, comfortable, lots of gathering areas for the family, comfortable sleeping areas and the kitchen is super well stocked. Everything about this rental was five stars, will rent again!
Our company came out to stay for an event and had a great time. Ken was a fantastic host and made sure everything was taken care of and exactly as advertised. Had breakfast on the porch every morning and enjoyed the company of some deer! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
We had such a great stay at Ken's home in Carmel. Big Sur, Monterey, and downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea are all a stones throw away, and the kitchen was perfect for cooking up big meals every night. I highly recommend this listing!

Glad you had a great time. When we remodeled the kitchen we had a "social kitchen" in mind and functional to do a Thanksgiving dinner with all helping out. Hope you can visit us again. Thank you.
We had a great week staying at this peaceful and very comfortable house. There is a beautiful view from the deck, a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of space to relax. Ken was very helpful and easy to contact. The house is a short drive to the village of Carmel by the Sea, Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, Monterey, wine tasting in Carmel Valley, and Big Sur. We would certainly stay here again.
The house was so comfortable. Super well stocked kitchen. Flannel sheets on the beds were a nice touch given the cooler nights here. Great WiFi. This is a super place to stay. Convenient to anywhere on the Monterey peninsula.

About the host
Hosted by Ken
We are a family who lived in Carmel for many years and relocated. But we purchased this home so that we could continue to enjoy the beauty of Carmel and Monterey Peninsula.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location as it is close to all the amenities of the area, but is in a small pocket of Carmel that is the last to receive fog during the summer months on the Monterey Peninsula.
