Good location, pet friendly property with easy access to downtown Carmel and Monterey! Easy to find and very clean with lots of nice Anne Pirie’s to make a stay easy!
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Carmel Woods! The home was nicely decorated and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans etc and even included spices. We enjoyed cooking breakfast and a couple dinners. The property is lovely and very restful. Beds were comfortable, linens and towels are high quality. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. The location worked well for us to visit the beach, Scenic Highway 1, Bixby Bridge, Big Sur, charming Carmel and Monterey. We drove the 17 mile scenic path and rented bicycles to ride the Monterey Bay Coastal trail. We visited the Henry Miller Memorial Library and many lookout points along hwy 1.

Great spot
We enjoyed our stay very much - cottage was clean and comfortable! We especially loved that the bunk room could accommodate our kids in one room and the backyard area.
Fantastic little cottage in Carmel. The property is beautiful and clean. We had a wonderful time and the property manager was responsive. Would definitely rent this out again!
The Robins nest is the most cozy cottage tucked away in carmel by the sea. Close enough to shops but far enough not to hear the car and foot traffic noise. We had a great rime away from home. Thank you so much!
This was a perfect property for our group of 4. It is very clean, supplied, and comfortable. They owners are amazing people and were very accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend this property for your visit to the area.
Amazing location with a super dog friendly yard and deck. Cottage is charming, well equipped and cozy when cool sea air comes by. Management was very available, accommodating and helpful. We would highly recommend this location!
Charming cottage in a quiet spot close to town. Photos don’t do it justice. Felt like a home away from home and was probably the best VRBO experience I’ve ever had.

Love our Carmel cottage!
We have been here a few times and it is now our go-to spot when we visit our friends in the area. Our dogs love the space, we had our Grand children there this visit and they loved the back and the bunk beds!Perfect location right off of Hwy 1 yet very peaceful and quiet.We will be back!
Great little cottage in a sweet little neighboorhood
Unfortunately, my party wasn't up for the 20 minute walk into town so it didn't really serve my ideal of being close ish to everything but it still was lovely. The back deck was perfect for impromptu dance party for the 4 of us (hahahah) and card games.
Lovely cottage in a perfectly located quiet neighborhood with everything we could possibly need. Wonderful backyard patio, perfect for afternoon wine and conversation. Highly recommend!
The cottage is lovely and the outdoor seating is beautiful. Great location, and we had a wonderful walk around a neighborhood we had never before explored. The entire experience was A. The television is easy to figure out and the living room has comfortable chairs and a great sofa. It was great to have a firewood in the fireplace for the chilly evening. Very close to Point Lobos which we highly recommend.
