Perfect stay

This was an impromptu birthday trip for my wife and this spot delivered. The host was awesome and the property is gorgeous. Close to hwy1 so you can quickly get to Monterey or head south about 5 minutes to the greatest brunch place on the planet, From Scratch. My family of 4 absolutely loved our stay.

The photos do not do the house justice, it is immaculate, spacious and well appointed. Location is excellent and easy access to the highway along with getting around town. Would absolutely stay there again and we felt very welcomed. There aren’t a lot of hosts that truly understand hospitality, Callie gets it and it left us with feelings of comfort and care. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Fantastic house in Carmel!

Location was really great, the guest house is the best equipped place I've ever rented. Very thoughtfully appointed with everything you would ever need. The owner was very welcoming and communicative. The HotTub was a wonderful end to a day of walking in town or the beach. I will come back for sure.

Excellent place to stay for Monterey adventures!

The place was exactly as described, and was the perfect spot to stay to visit Carmel, Monterey, Na Big Sur. Host was super communicative, making sure we had everything we needed, and provided great tips on things to do and places to eat. The house had everything we needed to keep us comfortable and enough room for our family of four. We loved to use the hot tub after our daily adventures. Highly recommended!

Four walls and a roof can have a lot of competition. What sets this place apart is the property owners themselves. They went above and beyond to make sure we knew the best of the best about the area, activities and dining to maximize every minute of our trip. Is the guest house perfectly clean and adorably decorated…yes! Are the views stunning…yes! Are the amenities plentiful and exceptional…yes! But what can’t be discounted or unappreciated is being treated like you’ve been friends for forever and that every need to have is anticipated and you being their guest is their top priority. Cannot wait to return!

Amazing stay!

We booked this suite along with the rest of the larger house for our wedding weekend. It was the perfect location and beautiful home. It was spacious enough for our group of 9 and also held several get togethers for our wedding. The hot tub was an amazing added bonus! This was the perfect location!

Lovely flat in quiet location close to it all

We had a wonderful stay at this bright, clean, and well-appointed flat. Especially enjoyed the private hot tub and the very comfortable bed - slept great! It was great to be a short drive from downtown Carmel, but far enough away to be quiet and to have parking available always. Time in Big Sur, Point Lobos, beaches were highlights. Great communication and responsiveness by host and property manager. Thanks so much!

Quiet get away

Perfect place to stay to see our daughter at DLI. She was able to stay with us for the weekend and found the Murphy bed comfortable. The kitchen & living room tables were perfect for playing family games that we brought with us and the grill and hot tub were awesome. Location worked well to explore Big Sur & Monterey. We enjoyed our time here and would stay again if we came back.

Great Girls' Weekend for Big Sur Marathon

We had a great stay with such a perfect location close to Carmel by the Sea and the beach. The amenities were perfect and the hospitality and communication were top notch. The hot tub served me well after running the marathon and we enjoyed wine around the fire on the patio for a very relaxing and enjoyable reunion of college friends.

Perfect home base for exploring Carmel and Pebble Beach

This property was absolutely adorable: charming, clean, and well-appointed! We loved ending each day with a dip in the hot tub and sitting by the fire pit drinking wine while wrapped in big fluffy blankets. The property was a very short drive (~5 minutes) to Carmel shops, restaurants, and beach. It was also convenient to Pebble Beach resorts (~15 minutes).

A beautiful property. The outdoor space is beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying our coffee. It offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cleanliness, linens were nice. The toiletries were really appreciated, good quality! Kitchen was so nice and updated. Location is great, near everything!

Perfect again

I’m going to keep it simple: Staying 7 nights at your Guest House property was perfect, again. Gave each category, again, 5 stars. Have visited Carmel-Big Sur 1-3x each year for 10 years and the Guest House is a comfortable premier property from which to access all the Carmel/Big Sur venues. Thank you!

This lower level feels and performs like a condo. Adorable, and updated and the hot tub is fabulous. The host is always available and the size is perfect. Laundry is wonderful and w/newer machines, plenty of fluffy towels, and quiet...plus they offer many TV options - Thank you. My husband was able to watch the Badger Game. Fabulous stay!
