Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

8/10 Good
"Walls were way too thin. Family next to us started making a lot of noise at 6:30am and woke us up from a deep sleep. Had dinner onsite. Took us a really long time to get our desserts because they sat a big group an about 15 min after we sat down. Apparently the group was already complaining about not getting their food which I don’t think was justified considering they had at least 16 people."

"This is an ideal stay for families and multiple guests. Lots of privacy, great patio and pool table, comfortable beds, well-stocked and clean kitchen, quiet and conveniently located. I didn’t enjoy the check-in procedure. The code was wrong and it was not easy getting a new one. One elderly guest had to wait in discomfort for us to get into the house. Rather unprofessional."

8/10 Good
"Excellent location. Very clean and tidy. Kitchen is well appointed and overall it’s an adorable cottage. We loved our time in Carmel. The 5th bed is the couch and the kids said it was very comfortable.Only constructive feedback would be that the beds could use some updating - the one in the back bedroom was noisy and moved around when rolling over in bed, and the one in the front bedroom has mattress grooves from use. Also, with the check-in procedure, we missed the text with the lockbox code as we were in an area with no cell reception the day before so we spent the first 30-45 min locked out of the cottage. Vrbo did not have the information and the host kept saying we should have that info already before finally resending it. Once we got in, everything was great. Maybe it should be emailed and texted or sent via Vrbo messages?"

"What an incredible stay in Carmel. Our accommodations were so cozy, the beds were comfortable and the travel crib was perfect for our 6 month old. We particularly LOVED being able to walk through the neighborhood to the beach ( pro tip: go to Carmel River State Beach and walk north along scenic road around sunset for great views) and ending our days in the hot tub in the yard. We will definitely be back!"

10/10 Excellent
"We loved everything about Carmel Pearl! Sanctuary Vacation Rentals does a great job making check in and check out easy. Everything was well stocked from towels, to box fans, to blankets, even little flashlights. The kitchen and laundry facilities were also very generously stocked for a lengthy stay (laundry detergent, dishwasher tabs, trash bags, cleaning supplies). All you need is right nearby - grocery store, shops, Carmel by the Sea, restaurants, beaches- everything is within 1-2 miles. The location is very safe and quiet. The complimentary cheese, crackers, and wine were a nice touch! What was really elevated was the furniture! Usually rental homes have uncomfortable couches and chairs that are worn down, but this home had the most comfortable, high quality plush chairs and couches! We appreciated the no pets allowed due to allergies. We would absolutely stay here again if our travels bring us to Carmel. Definitely visit Point Lobos, 17 mile drive, and Carmel Meadows Trail for beautiful coastal views. And be sure to try Dametra for dinner and From Scratch for breakfast. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!"
