This home exceeded our expectations. Tastefully decorated, well-organized, everything worked, kitchen well stocked, everything super clean, fabulous location 5 minute drive from the heart of Carmel. My husband and I have stayed at dozens of VRBOs on the West Coast and in Europe and this home was the easiest and most organized stay we've ever had. All the tv's, furnace, fireplace, appliances were so easy to use. The kitchen made sense and included quality cutlery, practical pots and pans, and fully stocked aluminum foil, plastic wrap, paper towels which we appreciated. We've stayed at so many places that were beautiful, but lacked a tea kettle or a skillet or where you needed a PhD to figure out how to use the tv or the furnace. Nice big driveway to park and I was inspired by the front garden and the intoxicating scent coming from one of the beautiful trees. Upstairs there's a glimpse of the sea where you can watch the gorgeous sunsets. This home was equal in comfort, taste, practicality, and location. Highly recommend. We hope to stay here again soon.
