October Getaway

Overall this property is excellent. Wood floors throughout make cleaning easy, living room seating fairly comfortable, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms updated/excellent and access to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea or Highway 1 is easy. Quiet neighborhood and very friendly and helpful next door neighbor! Minor items -- would like to see newer coffee maker, mirrors in two of the bathrooms were small for the ladies, I am 81 years old so the walk downtown and the return walk was a bit of a workout, but this is an issue not applicable to most people. Just comes with age. The property host was excellent. Quick response to questions and could not have been a better host.

Quintessential charming and beautifully decorated Carmel cottage in a lovely peaceful setting

We’ve been married 41 years and this is the perfect romantic setting - like an Italian villette. Beautiful amenities, lots of sun exposure plus ample bright task lighting. The home is close to gorgeous walking paths, close to Ocean Avenue shopping and restaurants, Carmel Valley retail plus Monterey. Very quiet and so safe, lovely neighbors too. We were in the home for a month, working side by side, and really lived in it, cooking as well as basking on the front patio on warmest days. John and Karen really care about their guests - evident from the attention to the lovely decor to being responsive to our routine questions.

Excellent location in Carmel

Our home was in a great location in Carmel allowing us to park our car and walk everywhere. My son and I even walked to Pebble Beach everyday for the US Open. John was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. John’s home has three very nice bedrooms and a great kitchen if you like to eat in. During our stay we had family and friends stay with and everyone felt completely comfortable. We will certainly return as Carmel is our favorite place on earth.
