LX3 Renaissance Carmel Valley villa Pool and Spa

LX3 Renaissance Carmel Valley villa Pool and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We rented this property for our family to stay in for our youngest daughter's wedding in Carmel Valley. It was PERFECT! It was spacious enough for us and three of our kids and their families. The bedrooms were comfortable and accommodated everyone. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and we were all able to fit around the dining room table to enjoy meals together. The older kids loved the game nook and if they weren't in the pool they were in the nook playing the games provided by the host. Having the cottage for our son and his family who have 2 small children worked out so well for them to escape all the noise and put the little ones to bed without trying to keep everyone else quiet. I can't say enough about the host! Excellent communication, extremely responsive and accommodating and very pleasant to work with. We had one minor issue and they addressed it immediately. The house is beautiful, centrally located in Carmel Vally, and the host is one of the best. I highly recommend this property."
