Perfect Getaway in Carmel-by-the-Sea!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful two-bedroom home just 10 minutes from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. The location is perfect—nestled in a peaceful neighborhood with wooded views, yet close to all the amazing shopping, restaurants, and bars the area has to offer.The house itself is spacious and well-appointed, comfortably accommodating four adults. The large kitchen and dining area made meals easy and enjoyable, while the cozy living room, stocked with games and books, was perfect for relaxing in the evenings.For golf lovers, Carmel Valley Ranch Golf Course is less than 15 minutes away, making it super convenient. The host was incredibly responsive, and everything was just as described in the listing.Highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a private yet well-located retreat in Carmel! We can’t wait to come back.

Weekend Getaway

Had a very nice time. The home was comfortable, relaxing, and well appointed. If you are a reader there is a great collection of books. If you enjoy sitting out on a quiet patio this is your place. Just a short drive from all the shops, restaurants, and the beach.

Great 2 bedroom at Carmel-by-the Sea

Great place, with a classic feel mid-century modern style in a cozy neighborhood that has access to a State Park trail in the back of the development. The whole house is very clean with a very well stocked kitchen, solid beds and linens. Every aspect of the houses amentiies and interior design is well thought out. We hope to stay again since it is centrally located with less than 10 minute drive to major areas.

Lovely Carmel Home!

I was looking for a close home to spend the Labor Day weekend for my wife's 50th birthday and this more than fit the need. Alice was a joy to deal with, her home is a beautiful, clean, well kept, quiet, relaxing space for anyone looking to get away. Comfortable beds, great deck, and for anyone who likes to read, there is a broad library to review. Would highly recommend and on our next trip down we will be looking to take advantage of staying here again.
