The location was excellent with easy access both to Carmel By The Sea and Monterey. Stock of basic staples and dinnerware was spotty but adequate. The space could use a few minor repairs and some upgrades such as shelves next to or above the bed for personal items or lighting.

The location was good for Carmel by the Sea which is why I rented it. The place was smaller than I expected as you have to get in bed by climbing in from the foot of the bed because just fits the room. The refrigerator was smaller than even a bar refrigerator and froze everything. The management company was easy to work with and well organized.

Lovely little place just a few blocks outside of town. Easy freeway access and also a 15 min walk from downtown Carmel.Our little suite was super tiny but we enjoyed the intimate setting. Also we were barely there, but it was cozy to sleep in. the kitchenette is loaded with useful stuff. We also made use of the guest manual to find a beautiful hike.One tip and only reason I’m not giving five stars across the board is there’s a light behind the showerhead which definitely doesn’t turn off from the inside of the unit. We tried every switch in the house. The rental company did not know how to turn it off either so I just gently unscrewed it and screwed it back in when we left. Problem solved!

Horrible experience we moved after one night the windows wouldn’t open. There was mold all over the shower curtain suffocatingly small unresponsive hosts emailed about several things. They never got back to me. Didn’t honor a refund when we left after the mold my husband is immuno compromised and we can’t be an unsafe stays like this truly makes me rethink going back to hotels, which is exactly what we did.

Cozy Bungalow

Loved this cute Vrbo in a quiet Carmel neighborhood. We loved walking about 20 mins into town and the easily available parking spot I front of the house. Initially had a few issues with the unit the first night, but it was quickly resolved by the management property.

Surprised by the sleeping area

The description is "queen size bed, tucked into a quiet sleeping corner". The bed is crammed against the walls on 3 sides, and is about hip height. Climbing in and out was a struggle. Inadequate wall sound-proofing meant we were awakened when the adjacent residents started their day, 6:30 and 7AM.

Not as advertised

The pictures are not true. This is not cozy or quaint. The bed is inaccessable as it is jammed into an alcove. The table is not as pictured but it is a toy metal thing. TV is only streaming it is Rocu. No local weather or news. If you walk into town do it in the daytime as there are no sidewalks only a limited dirt path. Kitchen supplies look as if they were meant to go to Goodwill and there are no cereal bowls.Lacking towels but we had a few more delivered even though they looked recycled. Overall unit was illequiped.

Weekend Aquarium Getaway

Location of this property is great! An included parking spot is a plus as street parking is limited due to the small streets. It's located close to everything you might want to do in the area.My only suggestion is to change the shower liner more often - the one there while we stayed had mildew/mold build up (eh it happens), but it didn't dampen our weekend at all. Great place overall!
