You will be in heaven when you enter this house; we have left nothing to chance. From the gorgeous wooden floors to the art hanging throughout, it is eye candy for those looking for more than your average rental home stay.

Our exceptionally maintained home features a great gourmet kitchen with an open floor plan, large windows, and beautiful granite counters. Prepare meals using our full kitchen with all the essentials and entertain guests as you barbecue on the outside deck watching the waves crash against the rocks. Use the dining room table that lends itself to congenial socializing and relax into the cool evening by the outdoor fire pit that’s surrounded by the beautifully landscaped yard.

As you walk through our 2,800 sq. ft. home the living room provides a soaring wood ceiling, romantic flagstone stacked fireplace, and French doors leading to a balcony with glass walled railings. Our comfortable, yet stylish furnishings invite you to listen to the sounds of the ocean as you sink into the sofa, watch TV and movies on the large flat screen and enjoy music on the stereo system. Stay connected with friends, family, and work using the high-speed wireless internet service and relax in a beach home that has everything you could want, without sacrificing privacy.

The home boasts hardwood floors that lead to 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. In one Master bedroom you will find a king size bed, flat screen TV, gas fireplace, large walk-in closet, and a sliding glass door leading to a private patio. In the second fully furnished bedroom you’ll find a queen size bed, large closet, full bathroom, and a sliding glass door leading to another patio. The second Master bedroom features large closet space, a flat screen TV, and beautiful furnishings. We provide quality linens and towels and invite you to relax and enjoy your stay in Carmel.

The home overlooks the Carmel River lagoon and is only steps from the wonderful trails that bring you down to the lagoon and Carmel Beach. These trails offer easy hiking and spectacular panoramic vistas. On these trails you'll see lots of wildflowers, smell fragrant shrubbery, and experience the sand between your toes along with views of Point Lobos all the way to Pebble Beach.

There is nothing like feeling as if you’ve found paradise, and you have with this home, it’s absolutely breathtaking and we know you will enjoy the experience.

Carmel Family Getaway
We have stayed in this house since 2019 around Veteran’s Day weekend to celebrate the life of my husband, who we lost 5 years ago. We love this house as it is our family’s place of comfort and peace. Love the location and it being a quiet neighborhood. My only suggestion would be to replace the refrigerator and replace the broken taped Keurig coffee maker for the nightly rental price of the house.

Great Stay
This is our second stay in the Carmel house and it is still a perfect spot! The view, neighborhood and especially the proximity to the quiet beach can't be beat. Ants seem to be a problem in the house which isn't the owners fault. Ant traps are placed throughout the house. The only downside is that the appliances need replacement. The coffee maker had basic tape to hold a long crack in the carafe and the microwave's lining was broken which felt unsafe. For the cost of the rental, I would have hoped these would be replaced or fixed. The manager did note that these items would be fixed in the future which is good. Can't wait to come back again!

Beautiful location
This house is all about the location! We loved sipping our morning coffee while looking at the ocean, as well as enjoying the view while prepping in the kitchen or snacking on the side deck. The property is in a quiet neighborhood, so we loved listening to the birds while relaxing in the hot tub, and the peacefulness all around. It was a very short walk to some lovely trails where we could admire the scenic ocean as well as the many sea birds in the area as we walked. The house itself is also full of lovely and interesting artwork that we had spirited and fun discussions about throughout the weekend. It is also located where it was so easy to get anywhere we needed to - for groceries, dining, etc. Pictures don't really do the place justice, it was simply lovely!

Beautiful House with Views
We absolutely loved our second stay in this home! It was very comfortable for 6 people in our family, with beach chairs and close proximity to walk to two beaches in two different directions. The back deck and hot tub are also a refuge from a long day’s activities. The crashing waves are in view from many of the windows. The neighborhood is very quiet and one of our most favorite vistas in Carmel. The property owner was super helpful, kind, and responsive when we had a few questions at check-in. We will definitely be back again!

Lovely home in amazing location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It is located in a nice neighborhood a block from the most beautiful beach. At low tide, the tide pooling is really great. The house is colorful and comfortable with three bedroom suites. The kitchen is large and has the bare basics like olive oil and salt/pepper. There is a house across the street that is under construction so there were trucks parked everywhere, but they weren’t noisy and it didn’t bother us. We specifically looked for a house with a hot tub. Our only complaint is that the water in the hot tub smelled a bit funky and felt slimy. It needs a good cleaning. The teenagers didn’t mind though! We would definitely rent this house again.

Carmel Exploration
The house itself was very well equipped, with three large bedrooms, all with on-suite baths (we only used two.. as we were just 2 couples) and televisions. The kitchen was large and well equipped with many pots/pans for cooking as well as some spices, paper products, etc.. The family/living room was large and offered great views of Carmel bay, had a large TV for watching movies as well as an assortment of books and puzzles, which was helpful for some inclement weather we experienced. The location is great for easy quick access to Big Sur, walk to the beach, quick drive to downtown Carmel, Monterey and Pebble Beach. We have stayed in many homes through VRBO, and our overall complaint with this house was the cleanliness. While the bedrooms and baths had fresh clean linens, the kitchen (especially appliances) were not clean. We had to wash down the refrigerator shelves (which could use a deep cleaning) as well as the coffee maker; and the oven and toaster oven were also in need of a deep cleaning. The property also prominently advertises the hot tub, which was nice and appeared new, however, it was also not clean. Upon opening the cover, there was a yellow film over the entire tub, which scared us, so unfortunately we didn't use. The floater which was supposed to house chemicals/chlorine was empty. There was also no instruction booklet at the house. Most rental houses I've ever been to have an instruction book, which tells you specifics on how to use certain things (like the hot tub), where to put the trash, what day the pickup is, etc.. The addition of something like this would be helpful for future guests. We reached out to the property manager about the trash, as the outside receptacle was full and it appeared a critter had gotten in. She told us that the trash day was Thursday (the day of our departure), but that she wouldn't be able to get over there until after we left. We did our best to clean up the mess from the critter, and took the cans to the street, but there was still quite a mess left behind (which we think is above and beyond to ask a guest to clean up). Overall, we made due, and had a fantastic time. This is a great house, but it is just in need of some TLC.

This house was great for our stay. We had one bedroom for myself, husband, and 6 year old; another for my parents; and the last one for my sister. They have a wonderful large living room for hanging out. Despite the weather we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and to the beach during breaks in the rain. We also visited Point Lobos which is great for short hikes with a young kid.

The home has been lovingly And meticulously restored or remodeled. Wonderful views. Great landscaping, full of bird life. We didn’t find a lot of directions about where and how to do the garbage, recycling but managed without a problem. We didn’t use the hot tub or the outdoor fireplace but probably would’ve enjoyed them. Kitchen was well stocked. We very much enjoyed the artwork, which is nicely hung and displayed throughout the house. It was a great stay!

Lovely house, great location
The house was very conveniently located if you want to be in the Carmel area. It was perfect for our needs as we were 3 family couples attending wedding events for the weekend, and the house has virtually 3 master bedrooms. Two of the rooms have access to the outdoors, and there is a lovely large living area that overlooks the ocean in the near distance that also has a balcony for sunny days. It was not directly on the ocean which was preferable to me as I love open windows at night but not an unending roar from the ocean. There is a small seating area for 3 just outside the kitchen. There is a large shopping center just down the road, with groceries, boutiques, and great restaurants. Excellent vacation rental.
