About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious, charming, sparkling clean, home where the family can relax! Welcome!

Our Carmel home and Carmel itself are lovely any time of year. Come for a few days (or for a whole month at discounted rate) and relax, or work, or workout! Carmel is as wonderful as you have heard and our house is the perfect oasis for a peaceful family or friend or solo/a retreat. Close to town (five minute drive or 13 minute walk) and the beach (seven minute drive and 17 minute walk), in a beautiful and quiet Carmel neighborhood, you'll enjoy our large, sparkling clean, comfortable, and very charming home with its large very private deck, which even has an oak tree growing out of the middle of it! The three bedrooms have very comfortable beds, cozy blankets and great linens, and lots of natural light (and blinds and drapes to make it dark when you want to snooze). The bathrooms are beautifully renovated and large. There is a bonus room off the the living room where one can work, or, better, where the kids can play with our toddler friendly toys. Our favorite part is the large living space, both indoors and out. There is a large deck between the bedroom wing and living room and a balcony in front to watch the sunset, the pileated woodpeckers on the trees across the street, and the multitude of oak tree that abound. The sun streams into the living room to add a warm golden glow in the afternoon and early evening. Siting on the balcony, you can enjoy a glass of bubbles or wine when watching the sun set over the ocean.
Our wifi is great so work or write your novel here. The surroundings will inspire you! Or cozy up and watch a movie; the living room TV is a Smart TV and in the owner’s suite there is a ROKU.
The walk to the beach and downtown Carmel in 15-19 minutes or you can drive there in 5-minutes max; walking TO the beach is easy but walking back in primarily uphill so grab a coffee and pastry to fortify yourself in downtown Carmel on the way back. (Oh - we also supply coffee and tea for your morning wake up.)
We have a heavy discount for longer stays during and happy to work with you for stays longer than 30-days. Talk to us if you would like to kick back in Carmel for a while.
We are happy to answer questions about our area as well as our house so ask away.
Carmel is a very special place for all ages. Don't wait for a special occasion - just come and breathe!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a desk, and a printer. Limited housekeeping is available.

Perfect beach house for my pup and me

My dog and stayed here for 4 nights. Its a big house for just us two. But completely worth it. Lots of areas to walk and relax. The house was close to everthing. Beach was only 5 mins away!! The host was AMAZING about giving recommendations and really easy to get in touch with. We had a small issue, which wasnt even an issue, and she had someone out to look at it in less than 15 mins. The house is exactly as pictured. Its very clean, well stocked, perfectly lit and modern. I would return there every chance I get! It was home away from home.

Gracious Home; Welcoming Hosts

The house is spacious and comfortably furnished. A great place for friends and family to relax and gather while enjoying Carmel and Pebble Beach. Easy access by car to Big Sur and Central Coast; also Carmel Valley. Holly provided great information ahead of our arrival on places to go and sights to see; did everything possible to make us quickly at home. The fenced yard was great for our dog, plus the neighborhood roads are peaceful in the woods and great for dog walks on leash. We hope we are fortunate enough to return soon.

Lovely Carmel Woods retreat

Property is well situated on the winding, hilly and wooded area of north Carmel. Close to everything. House and yard in need of some updating - bathrooms are nicely remodeled, and kitchen is modern and well equipped. House is nicely laid out and private. Good, safe yard for dogs.

Quiet and serene stay

The house is perfect for a family of 5. We enjoyed the bed and my wife loved the nice soaker tub. After a long day of activities with the family this was a great property to relax, enjoy, and unwind on. We ended every night with a glass of wine outside on the beautiful deck. The kids enjoyed their rooms and the living room space.

Cute House in Town

The house was cute, comfortable, and well appointed. It had lots of spices and condiments for our use. We loved opening the windows to enjoy the cool breezes. The only thing I would suggest changing is the entry wooden gate with the latch. It’s very worn down and we feared getting splinters trying to open and close it daily. Other than that, it was a great stay. Thank you Holly & Richard.

Lovely home base for Carmel exploration

Really enjoyed using this lovely house as a home base for 3 days of exploring Carmel and environs. The house is warm and obviously lived in and loved. Lots of character, but also very comfortable and well appointed. Plenty of room for up to six people and a well stocked kitchen including coffee and wine! Beautiful neighborhood and outdoor space with lots of trees and the distant roar of waves on the beach. Close to all the action in Carmel and Monterey. Highly recommend this house and will plan to stay here again on our next visit.

Quiet Among the Stars at this Carmel Charmer

The minute my wife and I stepped into your home we both felt at ease with the subtle decor, the views from the vast number of windows and French door, along with the abundant greenery outdoors waiting to be absorbed. Other than a few minor issues, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for your graciousness and accommodation.
