Moonglow: Forest tranquility minutes from downtown Carmel.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (221)
"This serene cottage was exactly what we needed. The bed was impressively comfortable and allowed us to get full night's of sleep, which is not the norm. The location could not have been better, central to everything but nestled away to provide the quiet we desired. The patio itself was a little oasis away from the hustle of daily life. And Chuck and Diane were absolutely wonderful, welcoming hosts."

The perfect Monterey Bay vacation home
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (141)
"This 3 Bedroom 2 Bath home is comfortable and well-appointed. Everything was in good working order, the neighborhood was relatively quiet, and there were a couple of cafe/bakeries within walking distance. Our only minor complaint is that this home was not easy to navigate for the one member of our party who walks with a cane after knee and hip replacements. It would have been been helpful to have an “accessible”bathroom, particularly grab bars in the shower and an accessible height toilet."

"Once you get up the rather treacherous road, all your worries just melt away. This property really is a little piece of heaven on earth. We had some guests that needed help driving up the hill, but most of us made it on our own. Justin and Crystal were very helpful both before the trip and during. We turned this setting into a venue for our small wedding for an extra fee, and it was an amazing decision! Our guests proclaimed that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.
