Hilltop Villa with Panoramic Views of Carmel Valley, 30 days

The views were definitely as described -- gorgeous, beautiful sunsets. However, be warned that the road and driveway up to these stunning views is quite windy and steep. Upon arrival, we changed our plans for going out at night and cooked all of the nights. That slight alteration did not affect our stay--actually enhanced our use of the property. Definitely enjoyed the Carmel Valley area and will be returning again soon. Thanks for sharing your space with our family!

Great property. Great location and amenities

This house offers incredible views of the valley with a good size peek out to the ocean! Each evening we relaxed in the spotless home, the Smart TV was simple to use, soaked in the hot tub with the views, and took in the stunning scenery. We saw shooting stars and even a little lightning across the valley! Overall, we had a wonderful stay.Our big dog enjoyed his stay as well!One thing to note: the driveway is long, winding, narrow, and unlit, so plan ahead if you’ll be returning after dark. We always made sure to get back before sunset—though with views like these, that was hardly a sacrifice!A friendly reminder: being hillside in the valley means sharing the space with local wildlife (we spotted tons of doves, deer, and even a snake). It only added to the experience, and we truly enjoyed ourselves!Highly recommend.

House needs work...thresholds rotting and french doors don't close properly. Bathroom windows corrosion and don't open. no supplies in kitchen...nothing to store in (not a single container with lid, 3 folding sandwich bags and enough saran wrap to cover half a small bowl!! Imagine having to go the grocery store to buy supplies for a house you rented for $1000/night! REALLY!!!! My nightstand needed cleaning. Rest of house clean. HOt tub and back deck very nice. Odd...no welcome letter or binder on what host would like us to do (eg leave the trash in or take it out...there are wild critters there so we opted to leave inside), No host contact info to reach him during our visit. 3 power outages in the 2 nights/1 day we were there. No flashlights - advise bringing one with you as the house is very isolated and dark when power is out. VRBO will not allow me to post what we paid... it was very expensive!! While to view was beautiful, it was the only redeeming factor and not worth the price... Please NOTE, 25% Of the charges were paid to VRBO!! hat's in addition to the charge for the location!! Host communicated with me prior to visit. Tho I tried many times, I was unable to reach host thru VRBO and had no way to contact him directly. Not sure why VRBO communication does not work.
