Beautiful location, so-so management.
This house is in a really beautiful location, and is decently modern. Has very strong mid-aughts decor. Views are beautiful, and I like how removed you are from neighbors. The drive up is not great, and even though you can get to many places pretty quickly, the hill up and down is precarious at night or if you’re tired. The wifi was not good, and because it was busy in town for the holiday weekend, cellular data was not great either. I’d recommend saving or downloading things preemptively for your visit. Some of the bedding had staining, but seemed clean. Found a dead mouse in the trash compactor during our visit. Only a couple screens on windows, so if you want breeze, you’re going to get moths. There was no grill as stated in the listing. Vacasa customer service was decently responsive, but not very helpful, and not apologetic when told about issues. You’re supposed to text when you check out, and I got a bounce back text. You’re given no booklet of information about the house. Kitchen was nice, but lacked basics like a cutting board and decent knives. The vent for the stove top was broken.

Beautiful Home with Minor Flaws
This is a beautiful home with breathtaking views. It has three stories, with all the rooms located on the second and third lower levels. The nice part is that each room has its own bathroom and shower. While it is nice to have all the bedrooms away from the living space, it was difficult going up and down the stairs. There are no curtains in any of the rooms because the view is amazing. However, if you are not an early riser, this might be challenging, as the sun will shine directly into the room. We were disappointed that the stove didn't work. We called property management, and while they were responsive to calls and texts, informing us that they had submitted our request, no one followed up with us, and no one came out to check the stove. We couldn't use the stove for the entire trip. Additionally, the ice machine in the fridge didn't work, and none of the power outlets in one of the bedrooms on the bottom floor worked. We really wanted this house to be part of our annual tradition, but unfortunately, we can't overlook all the flaws and difficulties we experienced.

Good but could have been great
House nice, views incredible, no hot water in master bath, outlets did not work on bedroom opposite Master, One TV had no remote, other TV had terrible channel selection (could not even watch NBA playoffs or SportsCenter) for the price property should have a better TV and a decent streaming service. Kitchen is beautiful but pots and pans and cookware belonged in a one bedroom rental apartment. Decks had magnificent views but NO outdoor furniture or Grill to enjoy the decks. Such a wonderful location warrants your attention to make the VRBO experience much better. This could have been fantastic and amazing instead it was just OK.

Spectacular views!
You can’t beat the panaramic views of the ocean! The property management also promptly responded to questions. Just beware ahead of time of the steep narrow road to get to the house. Also there are no shades in any bedroom so you get up when the sun comes up!

Great Carmel highlands homes
Lovely home with lovely views. We enjoyed 4 days here. The home is up a very steep driveway, so don’t plan on walking anywhere. We wish it had an outdoor table and chairs as well as a grill, but we made due. Very comfortable home to stay at.

Fantastic Mountain Home with Beach View!!
This home was so beautiful with endless views! The upstairs is a great space with views from the living room, kitchen, and both patios. Love the fireplace too! Downstairs are the bedrooms and their views do not disappoint either, each with their own bathroom. The master bedroom has its own fireplace and a jacuzzi tub. It was heaven!! The views from these rooms are amazing as well! Can’t say enough good things! Hope to come back and visit soon!!

Cool place, some issues
Pros: Views of Carmel, Point Lobos, and the sunset west of Big Sur are awesome – this made the visit Home was spacious and well appointed for our group of 6, 8 people would be comfortable, but maybe a little tight on living room seating Everyone slept well in comfortable beds Kitchen was spacious and good for socializing Cons: MICE! In the kitchen, being trapped while we entered the property – NO WARNING from the agent We found mice poop on entering the property and a dead mouse with all the guts squished in a trap that fell out of the cabinet as we reached for a pan - We were refunded ½ a night stay for this by Vacasa which didn’t quite seem like enough for the anxiety - We had to call 3x to have someone respond to this and tell us where the traps were for safety Patio table shattered – we were called the morning of check in to let us know, no replacement offered, which we asked for or for a board to set on the table we could cover with a table cloth - There were still glass shards on the patio, my son stepped on one in bare feet but luckily didn’t get cut - Vacasa refunded a whopping $20 a day for our inconvenience, but never tried to replace or substitute - It’s a shame, as the patio would have been much more enjoyable with a table Inaccurate Listing info: - The 55 acres are not open to use; this notification comes after booking - Narrow/single car private road is a test of driving skills and you are not allowed to walk on the road - NO WHERE NEAR WALKABLE to Po

Delightful Stay with Stunning Views
Our stay at this house was truly remarkable. The property boasts a stunning design with breathtaking views, though the winding ascent up the hill takes about 8 minutes via a single lane, creating some tension for approaching vehicles. The accommodation comfortably accommodated 7 adults and 1 baby, offering spacious bedrooms, each with an incredible view of the water and sunset. Three of the four bedrooms featured balconies; however, the addition of seating or bistro tables would have enhanced the enjoyment of these spaces. I was also grateful for the home having a foldable crib in the hall closet. A notable positive was that each bedroom had its own bathroom, providing convenience and privacy. It would have been beneficial to have a few hangers in the closets for added convenience. One unexpected aspect was the need for mouse removal, as we discovered two sticky traps in the kitchen. Despite the inconvenience, the home was clean, and the issue didn't significantly impact our overall experience. It would have been helpful to be informed about this beforehand. Overall, the house offered a memorable experience, and with a few minor improvements. Additionally, the location of the house is strategically situated off CA-1, providing easy access to various attractions such as Monterey to Big Sur. You're just 15 minutes away from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, and within minutes of Point Lobos. For a sophisticated dining experience, Pacific's Edge with its beautiful sunset lounge is conveniently close. The Crossroads shopping center, a few minutes away, offers a range of amenities, including a grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants, and wineries. The central positioning of this home truly enhances the overall experience, making it a perfect choice for those looking to explore the surrounding area.

Beautiful Home
The location up on the hill is awesome. You get a great view of the bay and can see Pebble Beach off in the distance. There's nothing better then waking up in the morning and seeing the beautiful hills and the ocean as you look out your bedroom balcony sipping your morning coffee. The only issue with this location is the ride up and down the narrow hill. At night could be a little dangerous. A huge plus is that each room has its own bathroom so no worries when everyone is getting ready to leave for the day.

A Tranquil Escape with Mesmerizing Ocean Views
I recently had the incredible privilege of staying at this house that left me utterly speechless. This coastal gem, perched atop a cliff, offers an unparalleled experience with its breathtaking ocean views, immaculate cleanliness, and spacious design. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "paradise." The moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the immense sense of tranquility that this home exudes. The panoramic ocean views, visible from almost every room, are simply awe-inspiring. From the living room to the kitchen and even the bedrooms, the azure waters of the ocean are your constant companion. Watching the sunset from the expansive windows was a daily ritual that filled my soul with a deep sense of serenity.
