Amazing Property
Spacious, with gorgeous views of the Monterey Bay. Truly an excellent getaway to spend my 40th! My only regret is I didn't bake in more time to spend at the property.

House on mountain
It’s on side of mountain so expect a curvy ride up. This road is explained on the notes. Beautiful place to stay and awesome views. Carmel/Monterrey area is awesome! Lots to see and do.

Vacasa Is a disaster
Property is beautiful, unfortunately Vacasa manages the property. An area power outage for 3 days left us without electricity or running water. Vacasa gave us no support, no supplies including flashlights. Forced to leave after the first night.

Car Week
Rented the house for our extended family during car week. House was large enough to accommodate our family, close enough to the action in town and the views were amazing.

Wouldn't stay again
Wouldn't let us park our car early because we would be using the houses amenities without checking in. Wifi went out 2nd day and there is no signal, outlets didn't work. Wasted an entire day trying to get wifi back unsuccessfully and then checked out.

Amazing home in Carmel
The home was very clean and the space and views were amazing. The proximity to Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea is very convenient and the host/staff was very attentive.

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.

Kitchen is severely lacking, no good cookware and not even a cutting board. Place is great but needs to step it up on kitchen and no patio furniture either.

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!

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!!

Stunning views
The views from this home are stunning. The house is large and had plenty of room four our group of 7. We mostly ate out but the kitchen seems well stocked. The internet access was spotty at times but I suspect that might be the location. Property management was responsive to that issue.

Great location and could be a great house, but listing is not accurate and service was TERRIBLE
Listing title says "grill" and there was no grill setup. Microwave was broken. Stove/cooktop did not have power. We got a house instead of a hotel so we could cook and we were not able to. The house was between 84-87 degrees. Two a/c units outside and only one worked for one room in the entire house. We went to bed sweating. I understand things break, but neither VRBO or VACASA did anything to get anything repaired. I spent over 4 hours on the phone and online chat. All I was told is that the local contact is not responding.
