Reviews 4.4 (28)

We appreciated the light and airy living room, comfortable master bedroom, and the many nice outdoor seating areas. Having garage parking is also a great convenience. The location is not walkable to the town, but if you’re coming and going in the Monterey area: access is good. That said, there are too many areas that could use attention. The carpets throughout are noticeably stained, the fixtures are quite dated, and the master suite is missing its shower door. We were also concerned to find that the smoke alarms were missing batteries in basement bedrooms, which is an important safety issue. Overall, the property has some lovely features and potential, but a few updates and maintenance improvements would make the stay much more enjoyable.

Very nice place in a great location. No complaints.

The home is in need of some maintenance, and communication from the host company could be significantly improved. Unfortunately, the customer service experience was unsatisfactory, with no meaningful action or resolution provided during our stay. That said, the location was ideal and very convenient for our needs.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that parts of your experience didn’t meet expectations. We always want guests to feel fully supported during their stay. To clarify, the items noted during your visit — the garage remote not working although the garage door button on the wall is working well to operate the garage door opening and closing and the window covering was simply detached from the hook and has already been reinserted and a few high‑traffic carpet stains on white carpet — are minor cosmetic issues that don’t affect the function or comfort of the home, but they are still on our maintenance list and will be addressed. We appreciate you pointing them out. Regarding communication, we did respond during your stay and provided guidance, though we understand it may not have felt like a meaningful resolution from your perspective. We’ll continue working to improve clarity and responsiveness. We are glad the location suited your needs.

This house was perfect for our family. Plenty of space for our large family. Views were amazing and the location was convenient and close to everything. Would love to stay here again.

This home was perfect for our group of 10. Gorgeous home with windows displaying 15-20’ of the breath taking outdoors and mature trees. So many balconies and decks to get fresh air and admire. Several spaces to get some private time as well. Nice gas burning fireplace in the main front room. Would definitely stay here again.

We went to Carmel for a family wedding. Picked a larger home to sleep 4 families. Older home; stale smell. Heater did not work; blew cool air. Older plumbing; No toilet plunger could be found. Outdoor accessibility is unsteady for elderly guests due to hillside & staircases. I thought this home should be priced lower.

The home is spacious and in a great location. The kitchen is well stocked (but lacks towels and ice). However, there was a musty smell and lower floor bedroom windows don't open.
Anonymous - Posted: 9/23/2025

The house is great, it’s spacious. However if you have more than 5 or 6 people plan on sharing a bed. The bottom floor smells old and musty. We had to leave the windows open for our entire stay luckily it was a warm weekend. We did enjoy the morning walks into the village. Overall it was ok, some upgrades are necessary. New carpet or hardwood floors on the bottom floor may help with the old musty smell.

For the price, the home is in poor shape and needs some updates. Basement rooms are smelly and musty. It could use a thorough cleaning to get cobwebs out of corners and off of air vents. The slope into the garage is an issue if you have a low clearance vehicle. It will scrap your car every time. Location is nice and in a very quiet area. Easy to get to either Carmel or Monterey.

Perfect for our needs although the stale odour does need addressing. Communications we great throughout the process and would use again.

Very nice property. Located a bit further from the downtown area so it was quieter. Nestled up in the hill a bit so walking to and from downtown area was a bit difficult for those in our party that were not as mobile but otherwise we had some small children make the hike several times without any issues. Responsive host and everything worked as they should have.

Large and spacious! Walking distance from the town. Parking is limited if your group is coming from different areas, make sure to organize. The ramp in the driveway is pretty steep and scratched some of our cars. Otherwise, it a beautiful place, enjoyed the view and scenery. Place looks EXACTLY like the pictures. The pictures are kinda TOO accurate. You will be messaging a property management company so response time is slow and they will always need to request from upper management or get automated messages. But they are super accommodating :) Would go again!

We have a great stay in Carmel by the Sea. The house has very spacious common areas with high ceilings, a kitchen stocked with every utensil and appliance, and a BBQ grill. It was the perfect location for a 4th of July family reunion. The house was immaculately clean, and we had plenty of towels and even toiletries in the bathrooms. The decor on the main level and the primary bedroom suite is thoughtful and coordinated. We had access to a 2 car garage and even a garage opener to take with us in the car. My only suggestion for improvement is that the furniture in the non-primary bedrooms should not be an afterthought. The downstairs bedroom on the right had an old mattress with minimal padding, and the linens included an old polyester bedspread like you would find in a 1990's "bed in a bag." I think that at this price per night, all of the mattresses should be hotel quality. This is a minor inconvenience that is common on AirBnB, and I would definitely return to this home.

There were several issues we reported and was told they would be looked into. But things like an exposed carpet tack strip which left punctures on feet, seemed over the top. Hair on cosmetic washcloths, loose step on entry steps, a door to under the house that didn't lock and had rat traps lining it, just a lot of small things that added up to a negative impression of the house itself-beyond the very 70's nature of decor and fixtures. It badly needs a refresh. Not worth the $ especially for the cleaning and administrative charges.

The house fit our family perfectly (three adult couples, one young child). It is spacious, clean, and the kitchen is well stocked with glassware, dishes, silverware, etc. The garage allows you to park off the narrow street, and even fit our rented Chevy Suburban! It is an easy three minute drive from the house to the heart of Carmel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our time in Carmel. House worked great for our family. Appreciated the little touches like unscented laundry detergent and soaps around the house. Nice to have a garage you can park in. We enjoyed walking to and from town a couple of times, but mostly drove back-and-forth.

The house fit our family perfectly (three adult couples, one young child). It is spacious, clean, and the kitchen is well stocked with glassware, dishes, silverware, etc. The garage allows you to park off the narrow street, and even fit our rented Chevy Suburban! It is an easy three minute drive from the house to the heart of Carmel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our time in Carmel. House worked great for our family. Appreciated the little touches like unscented laundry detergent and soaps around the house. Nice to have a garage you can park in. We enjoyed walking to and from town a couple of times, but mostly drove back-and-forth.
