Summary:
This property is simply darling! Welcome to Quaint Carmel, a lovely backyard studio nestled in the highly acclaimed neighborhood of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

The Space:
This sweet escape is ideal for a solo traveler or couple who are looking forward to exploring the area's noteworthy attractions and returning to a quiet retreat at night.

This studio home is intimate, with every square inch of space designed intentionally to maximize functionality and flow so you can enjoy a high level of comfort. The open-concept design creates a centralized space to enjoy lounging on the sectional couch with an adjacent smart TV, casual dining at the high-top table for 2, or cooking in the kitchen area.

The kitchen is equipped with a full suite of appliances and additional kitchenware such as a toaster and coffee maker for your convenience.

The home sleeps up to 2 guests in a Queen size bed, tucked into a quiet sleeping corner. Between the sleeping and living areas, you’ll find a small storage area for your belongings as well as towels and linens. A full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is located just off the sleeping nook.

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!

Decent place to lay your head

Very small, which we knew going in. Just in town for the week and needed a place to sleep. The good: Great neighborhood, super close to town, stores, etc. The bad: Not as up to date as listing would have you velieve. Some poor finish carpentry on the interior, ineffective use of space, bathroom shower head sprays out on to the floor. Property owner is very friendly and welcoming. Wifi is not up to par, as it was barely enough to eun youtube. Not a bad place to sleep, but not worth the money in my humble opinion.

Lovely little spot

The property is exactly as it is in the pictures. Nice livingroom/kitchen area, sleeping "nook" with a comfy bed and feather pillows, full sized bathroom with shower/tub combo. Kitchen includes a mini dishwasher, mini fridge (freezer? Its called the artic king and all our stuff froze so maybe it is supposed to be a freezer) coffee pot, stove. Theres a big TV on the wall in the appliance nook opposite the couch (we didnt use) and a small table & chairs for 2. A small coat closet by the front door, and some drawers/bins outside the bathroom door for stashing some of your stuff. If you have a lot of luggage, there isnt a lot of space beaides floor/couch for it, so keep that in mind. My husband and I each had 2 bags and were fine, but did give up a little couch and floor space for them. There are outlets in the nook by the bed, but no shelves for phones, c-pap machines etc. You can slide a phone along side the mattress or leave next to your head. Generally, fairly quiet but could hear occasional noise (tv, coughing) from main residence, but generally was unobtrusive. If you're looking for a home base for yourself /a couple while you explore Monterey and surrounding areas, you've found a good spot.

Quiet Carmel hideaway

Very cute studio with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, including a super comfy couch. There were even some coffee pods to get us through the first morning! It's a bit far from downtown so a car is generally necessary, but it's a short drive. Also we came on an unusually hot week and it was really hot inside the apartment, but they provide a fan to help a bit.

Unsatisfactory

At first impression this property was clean and well enough appointed and in a great area. However, when we checked in the heater had been left on low during a heat wave and without AC and no window screens, or lockable screen door, this unit was impossible to cool off for sleeping. The hot water heater turned off mid-stay and the provided cooking pans were dirty. The worst part was that the property managers kept promising to speak with the local team and we never heard back, no matter how many times we called or emailed. Also it should be written in the description that the bed is inaccessible for anyone with mobility issues. We will not stay here again.

Get Away

My husband and I booked the Quaint Bungalow for our Anniversary and it was just what we needed. More affordable than a hotel with nice privacy. Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, convenient parking, a short distance from downtown and Hwy 1. All the amenities you need for two guests and plenty of space. Check in was easy and the property manager was quick to respond. The space itself was simple but clean and comfortable. Great stay!
