Truly Enchanted

No words can do this home justice. It truly is enchanted. The location is perfect and the home is cozy and a perfect size. If you are looking for a real home away from home then look no further. Kari is a fantastic host who made every effort to make our stay the best experience possible.

Lovely place

Kari was extremely accommodating. Communication was easy and fast. The cottage felt like a little slice of Heaven. Quiet, private and well appointed. I sat on the deck with my morning coffee and thoroughly enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels. The location is great. A short drive to downtown Carmel, Pebble Beach and Monterey. We were sad to leave.

Quiet & Peaceful

The "Enchanted Oaks Cottage" met all our expectations, and we would certainly consider staying at this property again in the future. The property was comfortable, quiet & peaceful, pet friendly, suited our needs, and the location-- proximity to Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey attractions, restaurants & shopping-- was exceptional.

Carmel Vacation

For the most part this is an amazing property - beautiful space, amazing location, beautifully appointed. The one drawback for me is a very steep driveway that needs to be navigated coming and going. This is not mentioned in the description - and should be. Prospective users should know that all-wheel drive is preferred and that a large vehicle would be almost impossible. I was terrified every time I had to drive up or down the driveway. I'm not sure I would have selected this space - as fabulous as it is - if I had known about the driveway.

Amazing Stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Kari’s guest cottage. The location was great and close to shopping and the beach. The kitchen was spacious for cooking and we loved the wrap around deck. Kari was quick to respond to texts and very accommodating. Would be happy to stay at the cottage again.

Cozy Place Conveniently Located

The place was exactly as advertised. Kari was a great host. The location was perfect… in a quiet neighborhood, but close to downtown Carmel, Monterey, and Point Lobos. The place was very clean, well decorated, and has a nice deck for sitting outside and listening to the birds and/or reading and eating. We’d stay here again in a second.

Great location, friendly hosts, comfy and cozy home

Easy access to Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur, Carmel Valley, Monterey, Seaside, and more! Cozy quarters with a fantastic porch. Felt like you were at a remote cabin but with easy access to amenities. Great, friendly host who gave excellent recommendations!

Fantastic Holiday Getaway

This beautiful cottage was the perfect getaway for spending Christmas in Carmel. The location was an 5 minute drive to Carmel by the Sea and about 10 minutes to Monterey. The cottage was super clean, easy to find, and very private. We would absolutely stay again in a heartbeat!

Great get away in the woods close to Carmel

We have stayed here before and like it. Its very comfortable and private. They are pet friendly. Our only complaint was the fireplace that heats the house was broken. We did have a heater in bedroom but did turn the oven on to take the chill off when we first showed up. They did have a small heater in the living room but it didn't really heat up the large room without alittle help.

A beautiful and comfortable haven

We really enjoyed the beauty of this apartment. The many windows brought the lovely outdoors right into the inside. The rooms were super clean and comfortable. We loved being close enough to visit our son and the in-laws (in Carmel by the Sea) while also having privacy and quiet time in the Carmel Knolls.
