Perfect place to relax with lovely ocean views

It was wonderful to return to Villa Mare a second time to unwind post-Christmas. The home is beautifully designed both inside and out. And we love its 180-degree view (mountains and ocean!), from its top floor which has a huge open plan grand room + balcony. We so enjoyed spending much of our time there. Its really a 'destination home' in the unbeatable location of Carmel Pat and Vaughn are also very gracious hosts, provisioning their home with many extras and accommodating requests for a late check out. Its on our list to return again!

Spacious with great views

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Mare. The house is spacious with several outdoor balconies and indoor nooks for communal gathering, game-playing or private reading. Its elevation commands lovely views over the rooftops to the bay. The kitchen is excellently appointed for home cooking. The bathrooms are clean, roomy and generously stocked with amenities. The beds are comfortable. Pat and Vaughn are attentive, friendly hosts who remained discreet but available to answer any questions. The location is a quick drive down the hill into Carmel (or a nice walk for the hardy) and only 10-15 minutes to Monterey, with convenient access as well to a host of course options for golfers. No regrets here.

Why they chose this property

Spectacular sunrise-to-sunset views of the ocean, the Carmel Mission, Carmel Bay, Point Lobos and the Santa Lucia Mountains. A working cattle ranch (Fish Ranch) is in the view - we can hear the cows when it's feeding time - and downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea is an easy stroll away.
