Great apartment with great location.

This worked perfect for our group of 4 adults. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. Decor was cute and modern. The location was great - walking distance to so many shops, restaurants, and wine tasting rooms and a short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay there again.

Cute quiet place. Location cannot be beat as it is a short walk to everything in town. Everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Couple of hiccups that were addressed quickly with host. Even though there was construction going on in a couple of units around we did not even know. Enjoyed our stay.

Very Well-Appointed Apartment in Central Carmel

Although the property was being renovated, it was a very pleasant stay. Great, new retro appliances and very strong hot shower. One small disappointment: there's not a lot of natural light in this apartment, but it wasn't a problem for us because we were mostly outside in the spectacular Carmel natural setting.

Perfect spot in Carmel

This place has become our favorite place to stay in Carmel. It’s spacious, well-appointed, and in a perfect location. Full size washer and dryer meant we could pack light. Kitchen allowed us to have a few meals in the with kids, and to stock up on beach and hiking food. The best part was being in the middle of downtown. The hosts were great. We will definitely book this property again!

Much needed girls getaway!

From the moment we drove down Ocean Avenue the experience began! Our apartment was just as charming as described on the VRBO site with every amenity we needed for the five day stay. The beds are so comfy, the bathroom floor so warm and everything was shiny clean. Our host, Greg, was just a text away and it felt like home. A couple of walks to and from the beach each day took care of the extra calories we picked up at the Carmel Bakery!

ONE OF THE BEST!

Everything that was advertised about this unit was accurate, and still they did not share all the fabulous things about this unit. The instructions were clear and concise; the unit was as pictured, the amenities were the best stocked that we have ever seen in a VRBO unit and with extras if what was provided was not enough. The bedding and bed were incredible....if I could have staying in bed the entire day, I would have - but Carmel was calling! The location within Carmel was perfect. Walking distance to all and everything. What a all-around fabulous experience.....thank you to the Hosts for making this one of our most enjoyable holidays!

A perfect walkable location

Stayed for several days in Carmel, and were very pleased with the choice of this property. In particular, the location was ideal. It is in the center of the cute downtown area, so walkability was fabulous for meals, shopping and just enjoying Carmel. It is not a big place, but it is very charming, and opening the top portion of the 'Dutch door' in the morning for the coastal breeze was a delight. In full disclosure, there are a few quirks to note. There is no parking with the property, so a bit of hunting is required to find a spot for the car at night. Also, at the time of writing it was on the tail end of some construction, so there were a few rough edges. But overall neither of these detracted from the experience, and we would stay there again.

Incredible Value, Amazing Stay!

We had such an incredible time in Carmel & this apartment was the perfect location! It had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay for my family, including my one year old twin boys. The kitchen was completely stocked with absolutely everything. The patio was perfect for enjoying meals & the bathrooms were so nice - we loved the heated tiles! it is located directly in the middle of town so you are just a step away from cute boutiques & restaurants. It's just a short walk from the beach, which is absolutely gorgeous! And the Thursday morning Farmers' Market was so fun! We had an absolute blast & cannot wait to visit again!

Amazing!

Love love love this place! This was a true gem. It was amazing, clean, well equipped, comfortable and convenient location. Love the retro (but new) appliances. King size beds in both rooms with nice bathrooms in each. Love the patio and half doors for extra air. We were in town to do the Big Sur marathon - it was a perfect location (easy walk to get the shuttle bus to the start). So many good restaurants nearby. Love walking to all the shops and of course walking distance to the beach with amazing views of Pebble Beach golf course. Street parking was a non-issue for us. Suggest using Cultura restaurant for the GPS to find the place. (and visit the restaurant - the owner was amazing!) Thank you for a perfect place to stay - would love to come back and stay here again!

Lovely place

It is a great property in a great location. Owner was very responsive. Kitchen had everything we needed. There are a couple minor things, the shower in one bathroom was missing its handle, and the cold dial could not get very cold so the shower was almost too hot. There is a bunch of wiring from the walls, maybe an unfinished project? And the last petty thing was that there was only one roll of toilet paper, no Kleenex, and no dish soap to hand wash dishes. I really like when a nice property like this has shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, dish soap, Kleenex and plenty of toilet paper especially when staying for a week over a holiday. Also with the proximity to the beach, it would be nice to have a couple chairs or a bucket and shovel. We purchased an inexpensive boogie board, shovel and pail for the beach since we had fantastic weather and left them there. If you get a rental car, the unlimited parking was very close.
