Nestled near Pescadero Canyon, Mabuhay is perfectly located in Carmel - where you can walk about 5 blocks to get to Ocean Avenue and all the downtown Carmel by the Sea shops and restaurants.

An Apple TV provides programming on the flat screen TV (no cable). A dining table and a separate desk provide surfaces for multiple activities.
Kitchen and Dining The fully-equipped kitchen is full of light and set up for efficiency. Small appliances include a microwave, drip coffee maker, Keurig single-cup coffee maker, blender, toaster and a small food processor. The dining table is in the living space near the fireplace and you can catch peeks of the ocean while you dine. A set of chairs and table outside on the brick patio just outside the kitchen is another great space to enjoy meals together.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms Upstairs on the main level with the living areas, Bedroom #1 has a queen bed and direct access to the upstairs bathroom with a shower-over-tub. The large closet has a separate vanity sink. The upstairs bathroom is also accessible from the hallway.

A corner with an armchair, ottoman and lamp is a perfect place to kick up your feet and catch up on some reading. The downstairs hallway bathroom has a shower-over-tub adorned with pretty blue tiles.
Downstairs you will find a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer and access to the back yard. Conveniences like an iron, ironing board and even an pack n play will have you feeling at home in an instant.
The yard is terraced and a path wraps around the home. A brick terraced patio outside the kitchen has outdoor furniture and if you climb up to the topmost terrace, you can sit on a bench and enjoy sunset views. The yard is fully fenced and the driveway has a metal gate that swings open and closed.

Retreat in the Trees!
The house was very lovely. It’s nestled in the trees and gives you the feeling of being in a treehouse. The yard is beautiful and there are two outdoor sitting areas. The house is nicely equipped. Making the reservation was easy. You can walk or drive to Carmel. We’d recommend downloading VoiceMap and talking some self guided tours of the town. We would stay again.

Carmel weekend
Nice quiet location that’s still walkable to shops and restaurants. Cozy, welcoming, and comfortable, with large bedrooms and beautiful outdoor spaces. Kitchen is small, but no problem since we didn’t need to cook. Helpful team of property managers. Loved it!

Magical family spirit
The only hiccup was finding the place initially, but once we arrived there was a lovely family energy. It fills you up and makes you feel right at home. We had a lovely trip in this lovely home. I highly recommend and would go back.
Great place for couples to stay but not great for small children under 3yo.
Steep stairs…

Fun getaway with adult children
Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed this property. Everything was exactly as described in the listing. Being able to park the Yukon XL at the house and walk into Carmel was a dream. Will happily rent this property again for any future Carmel stays.

Amazing Location
Great location. Our family had a great stay. We would stay here again. It is very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. This is an older house with charm and quirks that come with it - water pressure in the showers was less than ideal and driveway can be a little tricky backing out, but did not mind it.
We loved being able to walk to the beach and shops through the beautiful neighborhood. Super safe and private location at the end of a street.
