Exquisite Wine Country Villa, Winery And Wine Cave, Villa Montebella
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (47)
"The Villa and location are absolutely stunning! The pictures are accurate, but do not do the property justice. It is a breath-taking view! Everything from the booking process to checking in was very easy. Randy was very polite, responsive, and accommodating with all of my questions and request. It was raining when we arrived, and Randy grabbed umbrellas for our whole group to do the property tour. No details were overlooked at this property. Chef Tiffany F. came to the house and prepared...

"12 of us traveled to Napa for my 40th birthday and we had THE BEST trip ever. The accommodations were lovely, spacious, clean and luxurious. The concierge was so responsive and helpful. The chefs were fantastic. I'd highly recommend this property. As a frequent traveler, I've stayed in many luxury rentals and this was by far my favorite."

Moonglow: Forest tranquility minutes from downtown Carmel.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (221)
"This serene cottage was exactly what we needed. The bed was impressively comfortable and allowed us to get full night's of sleep, which is not the norm. The location could not have been better, central to everything but nestled away to provide the quiet we desired. The patio itself was a little oasis away from the hustle of daily life. And Chuck and Diane were absolutely wonderful, welcoming hosts."

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (12)
"What an incredibly comfortable house with a great location. Walking into town was a breeze (a very hilly breeze, but enjoyable none the less) and Mission Trail was just steps away for great dog hikes. For the pet crowd, the house is perfect for dogs with safely enclosed front and back yards. The house was spotless and very welcoming when we arrived. Kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooks, towels all matched, and linens were fresh and well-chosen. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals were so...

"Even a bit nicer than the photos! The beds are super comfy, the place was spotless, we cooked huge meals and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The BBQ had propane, there were hand juicers, and three different ways to make coffee. We walked in and were very happy with the booking. The windows in the living space are massive and let in a ton of light and the deck is spacious. We had a great time over New Years. The neighborhood is cozy and quiet and an easy drive to the park without having...
