Clean, Pet Friendly
The house was very clean when we arrived and the checkin was easy. The entire space was larger than expected and the garage with washer and dryer was a real positive. The house was a great space for 4 adults and our 2 pups.The pictures in the listing did not match the actual furniture in the house. The beds were comfortable as were the couches in the living room. The kitchen chair seats were in need of repair (lack of padding, loose seats). Lighting in the living room and bedrooms was insufficient to read by.Overall we enjoyed our weeklong stay.

An enjoyable stay
The property is nice, quiet, and spacious. We enjoyed having meals in the kitchen and catching Netflix at night after a day of sightseeing. The location is perfect, and we can walk into town. It's close to the highway which makes the day trip to Big Sur and Monterey easy. Checking in and out is a breeze as well. The window treatment can use some fixing, but we just kept them down the whole time. :) Overall a very good stay, and Susan is a good host.

Great Location
Perfectly located for access to both downtown Carmel and Highway 1. The neighborhood is blessedly quiet and wonderfully woodsy. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen is large and well outfitted. One warning though, if you have a large car like my Explorer, be prepared to possibly fold in your side view mirrors before entering and exiting the garage. 😊

Excellent rental
Great location. Very well equipped. Comfortable beds with an abundance of pillows. Oversized leather couches with lots of pillows. Could use better lighting in living room. Weak internet resulted in very slow loading of movies. However several dvds and books were provided. Recommend and would stay there again.

2nd time
This is our second time renting this house. It is in a great location convenient to town. The house has an enclosed backyard for the dogs. Because we were here in January when we had the storms, we walked the dogs in downtown Carmel where there are sidewalks and they really enjoyed it. Would rent this house again.

Lovely and Convenient
This home is easily accessible and comfortable. The owner is very communicative, yet not intrusive. Given the beautifully treed neighborhood, bad weather can bring down trees and cause power outages. If that worries you, perhaps you'd be wise to plan something further from the coast and with lower vegetation.

We chose this VRBO listing because of its location in Carmel at a reasonable price. Three of us stayed here and found it quite suitable for our purposes. The description was accurate and is quite comfortable.

Lovely home
Very comfortable home with a great layout. It is a short walk to town which we loved to take as there is a little pathway through the trees. A storm came through while we were there and the house stayed warm and cozy. The owner is very responsive as well.
