"I have never had such a wonderful stay at a VRBO property! Daniel has thought of EVERYTHING! I am trying to figure out how I can get back to this property very soon! The quality of the towels, sheets and pillows was excellent. I value things like that. The house is so well appointed and charming. I got ideas for my own home! . The house is perfectly situated in that it is very close to the beach but far enough away from the busy number of people along the main drag of Carmel by The Sea. I will be back!!!"
