Carmel Studio
We really enjoyed our stay in your charming studio apartment. Loved the endless forest views and the peace and tranquility. Enjoyed the fireplace so much and the comfy furniture. Kitchen was big enough for what we needed. Look forward to staying there in the future.

Wild weather week in Carmel!
Second time at Carmel woods location. Enjoyable. Weather was challenging with wind and rain. I was there as a volunteer for the Pebble Beach AT&T. Electricity went off in the area for at least 24 hours - tournament was called.

Solid but not spectacular
Overall, I thought the place was fine. It is a great location and very safe. It was a little close to the freeway for my taste and you could hear cars but that is fine. They provided heaters but without the heaters it does get very cold. So make sure to turn those on. Otherwise, I would give it a solid B+

Lovely hideaway in the woods
VRBO - easy to find this fabulous property. Had 3 different seating areas including outside on a deck with views of the wood. Small kitchen had everything you could possibly want. Small bathroom but fabulous shower. Amazing comfy bed . Great directions and welcome instructions from the owner.

Quaint
Unfortunately my stay was not ideal. A dog that barked quite a bit. I’m a light sleeper so it did affect my stay. This unit is below the main home so there was lots of noise coming from the ceiling. Creaking floorboards and plenty of steps from the dog walkers walking in/out. It’s spacious but was really not very clean. Lots of cobwebs and spiders. Bathroom sink that didn’t drain properly. On a positive note the bed was super comfy. And the sheets were freshly laundered.

Charming Carmel Experience

Perfect Little Getaway
Wonderful, quiet, central location, and perfect spot for a quick getaway. It’s hard to find a good spot to rent for a couple with dogs. This relaxing studio was more than we expected with an entry and kitchenette separate from the bedroom with fireplace and separate from a dressing room next to the bathroom. The dogs loved all the smells and visited Charlie at his dog door. The owners are very easy going and very excited to visit the dogs—or I mean saying hi to the dogs when they went to visit them. Such an easy stay with the fenced yard and dog door! The dogs just used the dog door and enjoyed the yard. We will definitely stay here again.

Dog friendly stay in great location
The property was clean and included all that we needed. It felt very dog friendly, and our brief interaction with the host was pleasant. The location was convenient, in a nice residential neighborhood close to Carmel. The bed was comfortable, and altho the space felt a bit cramped, it was certainly good value for the price, and met our needs.

Wonderful, relaxing stay in the forest canopy!
This suite was perfect for recuperating and relaxing after 3 days of hiking in a big sur area. Susanne and Reg were perfectly accommodating and very hospitable. The suite feels like you are perched in the forest canopy because of the beautiful view that it offers. It was wonderful to have the kitchenette and fireplace. We made great use of both! Thanks for a lovely stay

Relaxing and Comfortable
I totally enjoyed my stay in the studio. The hosts were wonderful and they loved my Queensland Heeler, Sheila! She gave them both kisses, which is unusual for her. Their dog Charlie is a polite gentleman! The deck is huge and the yard is safe for dogs. The bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Susanne Mentzer

Host profile image
I am an opera singer, teacher and writer in my late 60's. I travel a lot so I know what tenants are looking for. My sweetheart, Reg, lives with me, as well as our sweet dog Shawna.
We are also both parents of adult children. We tend to leave people to themselves unless something is needed.

Why they chose this property

Location with an ocean and forest view, privacy, fenced garden, deck, beauty, quiet. There are neighbors but one cannot see their homes from my house. Also, the property backs onto Pebble Beach Forest which is undeveloped. We are up at top of a hill so we have amazing birds in the treetops, and we see deer, quail and other wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Deck, great area for walking, privacy.
