The property was perfect for our family. Because of the location we had lots of joy exploring the area. The children loved the bunk beds. Katherine was wonderful. We had a bit of a challenge with the lock box. The in-person tutorial was very nice.

Great stay in Carmel for a girls' weekend

Dolce Tempo exceed our expectations. The home is lovely and beautifully furnished. Great location - a few blocks to Carmel River State Beach and a 20 min walk to Ocean Avenue. The neighborhood is so charming. We didn't bring a hairdryer and couldn't find one in the home, so we called the property manager and they promptly delivered one. Great service! Highly recommend this property!

There was enough space in the house for the kids to be in one space and the adults in another. Kitchen had everything we need to cook for a large group and everything was in great condition and clean. Communication with the management company was wonderful. Would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect house for our family Carmel trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this house with our family including little kids, parents and grandparents. It met and exceeded everyone's needs. We loved the proximity to 2 beaches, an easy walk to Mission Ranch, and close to downtown Carmel. The house had everything we needed and the layout was great for those staying up late and getting up early. We would not hesitate to rebook this house on our return to the area.

Beautiful, clean and the best natural lighting ever!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our time at Dolce Tempo. I am the pickiest when it comes to cleanliness and this place was spotless. Not even a hair or fuzz in sight. The natural lighting with big windows and the trees outside makes you feel like you’re wrapped in a narnia setting. I woke up every morning seeing pretty roses outside of my room. The kitchen was well stocked and the all the sanctuary employees were kind and intentional. We were super closer to the beach and Carmel by the sea! The neighborhood was safe and perfect in every way. Thank you for helping our family make sweet memories and we’d book this home over and over again!

We Were Impressed As Soon As We Opened the Front Door

We were impressed as soon as we opened the front door. The house was beautifully decorated, and soft music was playing from both tvs upon our entry. This house is super clean, and updated throughout. It has eveything you could need, including dishes and cooking supplies. This house was very comfortable for our group of 6 people (4 adults 2 teens). The front room is very spacious and provided a great space to watch tv and play board games. And, with 3 full bathrooms, that space was always available when needed. The house is located within a short walking distance to two beautiful beaches. It's also a 25-minute walk into downtown Carmel. Each morning I walked to the Carmel bakery for delicious pastries and lattes.All communication with the property managers was excellent. I received prompt replies, and they were always very courteous.We plan to always stay at this house, whenever possible, when we return to Carmel.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great house residing in a great location; our extended family has truly enjoyed our stay. The kids love the bunk beds; the compartment to store cold drinks is a nice amenity; our extended family loves the walking distance to Carmel River Beach. There is one item needing attention; the front gate latch is loose since the wood part holding it is rotten; perhaps the wooden block needs replacement & painting.
