Did NOT want to leave!

Nicely landscaped and maintained....well-stocked kitchen...very comfortable beds and pillows...plush robes and nice bathroom products. ( Those things matter! ) Easy access to spectacular scenery in all directions...good info booklet from host, Margot, re restaurants, etc. She was out of town, but was very responsive and helpful by text and email. A wonderful getaway with my two sons!

Delightful stay ....

Wanted a few days hiking and seeing the sights. The house was spotless, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for getting into Carmel, Point Lobos and surrounding areas. Note that, due to winter storms, the trail to the private beach is pretty torn up and the beach itself is covered in large boulder type pebbles! Notwithstanding that, we highly recommend this property.

Cozy and comfy Carmel highlands

Wonderful property in the Carmel Highlands. Easy access to Point Lobos and Monterey/Carmel. Home was clean with proper amenities and a very nice kitchen. The fire pit was great and there were nice views of the ocean. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely FABULOUS!

We loved our stay in Margot's spectacular Carmel home! The location is PERFECT- just a 2 min drive from Point Lobos- and the house is beautiful. The beds were the most comfortable of any I've ever experienced during a VRBO stay anywhere (and I've had many!) The house was so peaceful- it made my whole family happy. Margot made everything so easy and communication was fantastic. We cannot wait to return!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Margot

Hi I'm Margot, I'm a Carmel-by-the-Sea native and fell in love with the Carmel Highlands area. The hiking trails of Point Lobos, majestic trees and rugged coastline south to Big Sur is some of the most pristine natural beauty on the planet. I remodeled the home in '22 and tried to make it both comfortable and elegant so people can enjoy this truly magical part of the world. I hope you enjoy my home!
