Additional Details/Disclosures:
**The City of Carmel by the Sea has enacted a short term rental ordinance, stating that VRBO rentals cannot be less than 30 days, so we would need to block a 30 day period, even if you only want to use the property for 1 or 30 days. You can stay as long as you desire within the 30 day period. Thus the 29 night rate....**
