Vacation rentals in Carmel-by-the-Sea

“Can't say enough about this place. Really great location - an easy walk downtown and to beaches, easy drive to everywhere in the area - balanced by being completely private, quiet, in a beautiful neighborhood. Very private space with own patio etc. Hosts were incredibly accommodating - we had some last minutes personal issues come up and they were incredibly helpful to us. Full kitchen and laundry made it very flexible space. They had nice touches such as leaving a bottle of wine, candies, etc. for us. Lots of local tips and guides. Highly recommend for your perfect getaway in the Monterey/Carmel/Pacific Grove area. We look forward to making this our standard stay in the area!”

“Our family of six (four of us plus two dogs) had a wonderful stay at Meg’s place. The location was amazing - steps away from the stairs to the beach. We made use of the fire pit on the outside patio every night, and the fireplace inside was terrific too. Comfortable King bed and plenty of towels and toiletries. Well stocked kitchen. Would definitely return.”

“This cottage is so beautiful! My family and I had a great time with our stay. What I liked most was the well tended garden. It’s a small property but the spaces are utilized well. There were so many different plants, trees, and vegetables. There were ample seating in different areas of the house and all of them had a view and is relaxing. Birds also come and say hello especially crows which adds to the cottage feel. My husband even spotted a cute little bunny. There were several water features throughout the property that adds to the cozy feel of it. I also would like to point out that the bushes and plants surrounding the property makes it feel really private. The inside of the house is also a delight. The fireplace in the living room heats up the room nicely and we got our use out of it. There is also a smaller one when you walk into the entrance and that is cute as well but we didn’t use it. The living room also has a lovely nook that I used for reading. It has a nice view of the garden. Location- wise, this house has been the most ideal location. I’ve rented different rental homes and have stayed at hotels in Carmel/Monterey and this house has been the most convenient as it’s so close to Ocean Ave where we frequented during our stay. It’s also very close to Cabrillo HWY so we just hop on the road on our way to Big Sur. The beach is also close. It will probably be about a 30 mins walk and I would’ve walked there if I was by myself. The neighbors are also polite. They acknowledge you and say hi. It’s a safe and pleasant neighborhood. I just adore this house. It’s a fairytale cottage and I am blessed to have been able to enjoy it. Hillary was also helpful and readily available for any questions. The house also doesn’t have rules that might make renters feel less at home like some rental properties do (e.g. make/don’t make the bed, put dirty towels in the washing machine before leaving). It’s there for you to enjoy but also care for since it is such a cute property. I know it sounds odd but to me, that makes a bit of a difference since you’re not so worried of doing things correctly before leaving the house. Anyway, we hope to say here again in the future. Thanks for having us!”
