Great location and accommodating hosts. Our third stay here. Thanks to the caretakers who allowed us a little extra time on our evening-flight departure day. TV hook-on is a little confusing but we worked it out in advance, allowing us to watch World Series games when not at Brophy’s (great place to watch).
Spent 4 nights here and it was perfect! Steps from Carmel River beach and a nice mile walk to town. Everything was so clean and roomy. Well-stocked kitchen overlooks the cozy and secluded backyard, nice sized bedrooms and baths. Would LOVE to stay here again!
Beautiful home, perfect for our extended family! So close to the beach. Rained most of our visit, but we were able to truly relax in this comfortable, spacious home!
Absolutely perfect place for our family retreat! The house was beautiful, clean and the outside was perfect for hanging out. The location was also amazing - only one block from the beach and easy to walk on the coast into town. I would recommend this house to anyone!
Loved our stay at this property! One of the few newly updated and well designed homes we’ve found in Carmel! The backyard feels like a peaceful oasis and we loved the location of the home! Hope to be back!

Incredible home
This home exceeds our expectations in every way. Furnishings contemporary, baths and kitchen beautiful, great location for walking and beach, and would definitely return to this home.
Our family of five, two adult children and one teen all loved this house. Plenty of space for all of us. Carmel River Beach is a very short walk away. We used the back patio the entire stay. Would highly recommend!
3 friends and I stayed at this beautiful house for 3 nights. It was our first time in Carmel and we loved everything about the house, neighborhood, town and beach. This is the most beautiful house I have ever rented through VRBO. All of the rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was large and well appointed, and the backyard sitting area was awesome.
We loved everything about the house. It is beautifully decorated and landscaped. It was immaculately clean and had everything one would need for a comfortable stay. Best of all to us was the location. We could walk to town, but were far enough away that it was peaceful. We were also close to two beaches. I highly recommend this property!
Our visit to this cottage was absolutely wonderful. The home is just as described and within walking distance to the water. It’s within a few blocks of Ocean Ave with restaurants and shops as well. The home is clean and modern and I enjoyed sitting on the back patio reading while hearing the waves.
We would love to go back to this property on our next visit to Carmel.
This is one of our favorite homes to stay in, have visited multiple times and we will be back again. The house is wonderful and the location is perfect . It is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay.The management company was new to us and they were fantastic. They helped us out with several issues and were so pleasant and responsive. Can’t wait for our next trip!
This place is a 10+. The pictures are accurate and everything was so comfortable. There was everything we needed from pots and pans to spices. The area is great as we walked to Mission Ranch and took a great walk along the water. We could have walked to downtown which was a little over a mile. Next time we will stay longer.
Had nice change of scenery working from home from a different place - owners warned us WiFi was a bit spotty (it is!) but we brought our own hotspots and we were fine. Lovely house, spotlessly clean, very well appointed and quiet location with easy beach access and nice walk into town. Thank you!
The home is so well designed and appealing both indoors and out. A perfect place for a daytime writing retreat and to revisit favorite restaurants and shops afterwards. If you love Carmel, you will enjoy this house during your stay here. Kitchen is well-equipped; fireplaces inside and out; heated floors in the master. We didn’t want to leave. Le sigh… Christopher, who is part of the house management staff solved a small issue for us promptly, and he was personable, efficient and a pleasure to meet. It was a lovely experience returning to stay again at this special home. We hope to return at some future time. Thank you for sharing this gem.
This home lived up to all our expectations.
We were so happy with this beautiful home. Updates are perfect for Carmel charm.
Will return next year if available

We've stayed at this property 3 or 4 times over the past 2+ years. The property is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood. The home is tastefully decorated, with a beautiful kitchen and up-to-date amenities. The garden is peaceful with areas for dining outside or reading in comfortable outdoor furniture. It's always spotless upon arrival and the property manager is always very responsive.
The house from the outside seems like a small ordinary Carmel house..But the inside is great. Very charming , nice outdoor space ,wonderful kitchen and fireplaces outside and inside. Inside is updated with nice appliances in kitchen and nice bathrooms…very pleasant . Would rent again. Close to ocean walkable . Can hear waves from backyard. The village is further, may need a car? Can walk but is further .
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area but now live in the midwest and visit Carmel as much as we can.
Why they chose this property
Once we moved to the midwest, we have visited Carmel annually. We searched for 3 years to find the perfect Carmel house and we think that we've found it here on Carmelo. It is a quiet side of town but very close to everything. It is so nice to be able to quickly walk to the water to watch sunsets in the evening. This is a great location for a year-round outdoor active life style.
What makes this property unique
Our home is entirely remodeled down to the studs in 2011-2012, very comfortable and in great location for access to the beach and beautiful scenery
