"This very large property is perfect. A very short walk to central Carmel. It’s incredibly clean with everything one needs in a home. It slept 6 one night very comfortably. Most of the time it was two or three and every one had plenty of space. It’s a real find."

Distance yourself from this crazy world!
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, 101 reviews
"We had a very relaxing extended weekend at this property. The pre rental communication was very thorough, welcoming and helpful. The property is exactly as described in the listing and in photos. We were a small group - just three of us - so we had plenty of space. We cooked all our meals in the open kitchen, using the plentiful cookware and enjoyed the open floorplan. We loved opening the sliding door to hear the ocean - the beach is just steps away! A great unit for a relaxing beach getaway."

"We loved the ambience of the hotel--having been built in the late 1800s. But what really made it a lovely visit is the friendly staff. They always had a smile and graciously responded to any request. The location is also very convenient for everywhere we needed and wanted to go--including a sunset walk along Lover's Point and the coast."
