Charming 3-bed home in Carmel-by-the-Sea; Pet Friendly & Near Everything Carmel!

Sisters weekend! John was a great host! Love that it is dog friendly, love that there were four beds so we could all have our own bed!Walking distance (if you’re a walker) to everything!

Spacious and comfortable cabin with a quaint cottage vibe! We enjoyed an easy 8-10 minute walk to the beach and 4 minute drive to a nice supermarket and nearby restaurant. Downtown is more like a 10 minute drive and parking is very challenging. Carmel is POPULAR. The neighborhood is very quiet, and traffic is fairly slow, though the driveway is in a rather blind curve in the road. We walked to town a couple of times, but that's a 20-30 minute walk and remember, Carmel has narrow streets and no sidewalks -- part of it's charm! But I would not walk back from town after dark, because the streets have uneven asphalt curbs that become hard to see. John, the owner was helpful and very quick to respond to our needs. I hope he has provided a microwave since we visited, because that was a definite inconvenience, but otherwise the kitchen is cute and well appointed. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and outside decks plus a small gas fire table and comfortable outside seating is a real plus. We had rented a Grand Wagoneer for our trip and it was too big for the parking area, making coming and going a bit hazardous, trying to back up and pull out, as opposed to backing in to traffic with limited sight clearance. But a small to midsize car should have plenty of room and do just fine. Overall, I would recommend and might even return, but definitely in a smaller vehicle. The owner was great and as stated, quickly responded to every need. I'd give him 5 stars.

The host was responsive and nice to work with. We liked the open family room, layout. The house had nice decor and was upgraded nicely.

Cloose to town/ great location! Need more towels, linens, etc...
