Charming and serene property

This was such a lovely stay. The property was conveniently located to many sights, restaurants and wineries. Our two young girls had a wonderful time exploring the property and playing across the street at the playground.

Great House with all the amenities

Great house with comfortable furniture and beds. The house in a great location and very peaceful. The owners have equipped the house with all you need for the comforts of home. Will definitely stay again and hopefully have more free time to explore all that end of Carmel has to offer. This is also close to several great restaraunts that are enjoyed by the locals.

Great stay in Carmel Valley

As other posters have mentioned, the photos do not do it justice. We were 3 couples and the house was super comfortable - 3 bedrooms each with its own bathroom. We had great weather and spent a lot of time sitting outside in the nicely set up backyard. Would stay there again in a minute!

The house was more than we expected in every good way.

We loved our stay at the house and its as better than we expected. It is private and feels as if we were in the country, however just a 5 minute walk to anywhere in town. It was the best location. The house was large and separated in a way that allowed people to have privacy and not disturb the other guests. I would come back to stay here in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful home in the valley

As nice as the description and pictures are, they really don’t do justice to how wonderful this home is. Tastefully furnished and extremely comfortable. Centrally located in Carmel Valley. This is a great place to just relax in the warm sunshine, or use as a base for outings all around the Monterey Peninsula. We would definitely come again!

a lovely quiet retreat to share with my family at Christmas

A really nice house to share with two adult children and spouses. Everyone had their own space. The house is set back from the road, so very quiet, but easy to walk down to the restaurant/wine tasting area. We walked around the old airfield and the adjacent streets and most days we hiked 2 or 3 hours in parks that are only a short drive away. A beautiful area.

Carmel Valley stay

Carmel Valley is an awesome place to visit in June. Beautiful sunshine, temps in the 70s, great wine country, and laid back village with lots of eateries. The house as perfect for 3 adult couples and exactly as advertised. The kitchen was fully functional and dining & living space perfect. We loved the outdoor space and very short walk to the village. The fire pit gots lots of use and the water feature was a nice add! We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Quiet, beautiful place in the Valley

Great getaway. Tranquil, quiet and very private. Beautiful landscaping and back patio, fountain and BBQ area. Home is large and comfortable. No neighbors. Walk to Village for wine tasting or dinner. Three large bedrooms. Great master suite and bath. Large kitchen and dining room. Very clean and eel maintained. 15 minutes to Carmel or Pebble Beach. Definitely a 5 star rental.

Simply wonderful!

A beautiful, quiet spot within walking distance of Carmel Village. Relaxing gardens and a welcoming home with LOTS of space for all. We were able to entertain some local families with either take out meals from nearby restaurants, or using the farm kitchen to prepare our meals. The restored ranch house has all the conveniences with a farmhouse ambience. A wonderful place to relax with friends and family. The pictures do not do it justice and we will hopefully return many times in the future.

Historic home in Carmel Valley Village

My husband and I are in our 80s. The location to village and park are excellent. The property is large and very private. There is a trade off for these features. The owner was very pleasant about my concerns when I mentioned them after our 2 month stay. I however believe they should have been addressed BEFORE we arrived. Yard was at one time remarkable and charming. We found the front yard fountain full of smelly algae. My daughter and I spent a day cleaning it out. No screens on windows. Old unusable chairs left out in yard. BBQ was so dirty with old food and grease we did not use it. The old gas stove/oven is a real challenge to use. TV etc. difficult to use. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils. Some very nice serving bowls. There are cupboards and drawers that just need to be cleaned out if renters are expected to use the house for long term as we did. This lovely old home would work well for a wedding or catered event. Patio is large. My husband said he would not stay here again. I would strongly recommend renting this VRBO after some yard work and housekeeping were done. I found this home delightful even with its need for care. Location is outstanding.

A 3 star experience

Overall our stay was pleasant; the home is charming but needs a lot of maintenance. it did not feel clean; one of the beds had pieces of leaves in it; house was very hot and musty when we arrived. We had to open several doors to get air moving. Windows were dirty and lots of cobwebs around. Master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced. Was very uncomfortable. The furniture in the house is comfortable but there were a lot of stains etc on couch and chairs in living room. One of our guests uses a Walker and thought it would be helpful to have a chair in shower and toilets that aren’t so low to the floor. We bought a chair and left for future guests that may need assistance in shower. The location was great in terms of shopping and restaurants. Check in was easy. The house is not visible from the road, so it was a bit hard to find. There is a very nice and pretty patio that we liked the best. The cushions on the furniture had not been cleaned off but once we did that, it was fine. The washer and dryer worked well and we used several times. The size of the house is very nice for two couples and even three couples would have plenty of room. The heater worked well as weather got colder. The host, Sue was very nice and helpful the day we arrived. We stayed 10 days. In the past we have always stayed in the town of Carmel and although we enjoyed exploring the valley, we will stay in town next time.

Perfect Setting to attend a Family Wedding in Carmel Valley

Wonderful setting and great outdoor space. We had a family wedding to attend in town and it was super nice to be so close for the week. House is well stocked with items and spacious. Private. Neat decor and historic oven was fun to use. We will recommend and use again for sure.

Quintessential Carmel

The home and beautiful outdoor surroundings were just what I love about Carmel and the valley. The house was perfect with 3 bedrooms, each with its own bath. Lots of room to gather, dine, etc. We ran into a bit of a problem with the wifi, but Susan was easily reachable to help us in finding a solution to the problem.

The house was great for my kids as it sits on a very large property with lots of room to explore. This house is also across the street from a great park and community center (with pool) which I think should be highlighted more in the description.

Perfect location, peaceful retreat, wonderful home!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home - the location was so beautiful. It felt like you were tucked back in a quiet nature retreat, but were also able to easily walk to restaurants. The multiple outdoor seating locations were great - we loved sitting outside and enjoying the scenery and beautiful weather. Our kids loved the park nearby. It was also an easy drive down into Carmel. The kids wanted to stay longer and said that the house was so nice and cozy, and we adults agree! We would definitely come back again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by SUSAN WILLIAMS

Host profile image
We live in Oakland where I used to sell real estate. I grew up on the Monterey Pennsula and have family there.We have 6 horses and bring them to Carmel Valley when we come. We take advantage of the riding in Garland Park and surrounding areas.

Why they chose this property

This is one of the first homes built in Carmel Valley. It has been in my family since the 1950's. My husband and I purchased it from my brothers and sisters in 1994, We totally remodeled it in 2000 with the idea we would retire there. We lived there for about 1 year and decided we were not ready for retirement and decided to rent it for vacationers.It is remodeled above and beyond a vacation home with attention to detail and the feeling of charm and warmth.

What makes this property unique

We love being able to walk to everything in the Village-coffee at the Grey Goose(they have yummy baked goods baked every morning), dinners at one of the Village restaurants, concerts in the park or window shopping at one of the antique stores. We also enjoy the firepit in the evenings with smores with our nieces and nephews. The Valley has the best weather-almost always sunny yet close enough to Carmel and Monterey for all the events.
