Great spot, cozy and clean
We had a great time, conveniently located, beautiful property, clean! Angee, the property mgr was easy to get in touch with and was very responsive. Only recommendation is keep your party to a maximum of 4 for the cottage. It’s listed as sleeping 5, but there’s only a queen and a king bed… no pull out sofa bed for a 5th. Not sure why it’s listed to sleep 5? We ended up renting an additional room inside the main house —which worked out just fine.

Beautiful Cottage
This little cottage was so amazing. It was super comfortable and the owners communicated so well. Even though it was a shared house, with the cottage attached, there was privacy. There was a firepit and tables to sit outside, which we did and enjoined as we sat to eat outside. The location is perfect, only about a 20 min drive to the beach. 10 out 10 would definitely recommend! I would definitely stay here again!

Getaway with pals to celebrate turning 40
My husband booked this place for me over another one directly in Carmel (with my three friends to celebrate me turning forty), and I’m so glad he did! We were absolutely delighted - the esthetic was so effortless but cool and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. We found ourselves looking forward to coming back after a long day of exploring in Carmel to sit around the outside fire in our comfy clothes chatting it up over wine. It’s super cozy and the beds are extremely comfortable - loved the linens. I have the sweetest memories of that place with my three besties. Angee the host was quick to respond to all my queries and even gave me an extensive list of awesome suggestions. The drive into Carmel is beautiful and we didn’t mind the 10/15 min drive at all. I cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a place in the Carmel area.

Hidden Gem
We were hesitant to book this place because it’s a new listing with no reviews. However, we are so happy we took a chance and stayed at this hidden gem! It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway - clean, nicely decorated, and with just the right personal touches by the host to make us feel welcome. If you are looking to stay in the Carmel area, this is the place to book!
