Great location for heading out to explore Big Sur, Monterey, Carmel, and 17-mile Drive. Nice to have a kitchen and the option to make our own meals. Owner was kind and welcoming.

It was very difficult to check since the app would not take my ID. The location was awesome but the facility was a little run down.

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!

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.

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.

This place is not close to the beach. Not walking distance to town unless you want to go on a road for .8 of a mile.Parking is good. Kitchen is good.

The property has some of the most beautiful views you'll ever see if you love the mountains this is a great place to stay! Everything is so green! We stayed the first week of June We were there for a military graduation. The property is located less than 10 minutes away from Fort Leonard Wood, which was perfect for us. The house was very cute and nicely decorated. There were a few more bugs than I would have liked in the bathroom but we were in the woods so it's probably to be expected. It did get cold at night and there weren't very many blankets available and because the property is smaller turning up the heat was not preferable so few more blankets would have been nice. All in all we had a great time while we were in town and the property suited our needs. If we come back to the area I would be happy to stay here again!

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!

Spent a long weekend in Carmel at this property. Great location, walkable to town, very close to 17 mile drive. The perfect location.

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!

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.

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.

This place was clean and easy to get into. No real complaints, other than extending the check-out time cost an extra 30.

Great location, cute neighborhood, had everything I needed to be comfortable. Could’ve been a bit cleaner at check-in but was overall fine.
