Perfect Graduation Gift
Beautiful and spacious, easily accommodating a large group with space to spare. Gracious hosts with so many helpful tips and suggestions for the trip that we couldn’t decide which to do first. Enjoyed the kitchen, wonderful views even with the fog, quiet neighborhood just a short drive from everywhere. 10/10 recommendation!!

So Nice
Just a beautiful home with a terrific view. Lots of thoughtful design touches. Considerate and helpful host. Ideal for family pet -- dog run, dog door and Carmel beaches gave her much joy. All in our family group of 6 adults and 3 kids aged 5 or under had a wonderful time. (Furniture has some hard corners so you do need to keep an eye on any little ones.) Memorable stay.

Enchanting Escape
Our stay was absolutely enchanting. The house was elegantly furnished and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Nestled in the charming town of Carmel by the Sea, the location was ideal for exploring the stunning coastline and enjoying leisurely walks along the beach. Our host was incredibly accommodating and ensured that every detail was taken care of. Despite encountering heavy traffic on our departure, our experience was seamless and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you, [Host's Name], for a wonderful stay. We can't wait to return! Warm regards,

Family Memories
It is always difficult to coordinate with adult children a small vacation but we found a window of 4 days to do this. Our stay at the house was magnificent and enjoyed by all, even a baby and three dogs. I so appreciate all the quick responses from Callie and how inviting the house was. Callie thought of everything to make our stay so special. I want to thank her for providing us a place to create memories we will never forget.

A True Home Away From Home
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Carmel in this home away from home. The house is warm and welcoming with spectacular views from the balcony. The pictures don’t quite do it just. Plenty of room for our two families of four plus our beloved pup. The owners are very thoughtful with Callie greeting us on arrival, providing a welcome gift and stocking the house with most everything you need including kitchen and bathroom essentials, allowing us to have a true vacation. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Callie and Susan for opening your home to visitors to the Carmel Valley! 💕

What an incredible property and lovely hosts! The home is so comfortable and has everything you could possibly need during your stay. The beds and linens are dreamy. And the view made us want to spend more time at the property than we had planned. The pictures don't really do it justice. Callie and Susan went above and beyond in every way to make it an enjoyable experience. You can tell they put their whole hearts into it. I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Stay
Callie and Susan have put together such a wonderful and welcoming home-away-from-home! The property was exactly as described in the listing, and it was even more beautiful in person. The house was clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the home provided ample living space for two couples. And that view from the back deck – incredible! The location of the rental was perfect as well: close to everything the area has to offer (hiking trails, beaches, restaurants, shops, and more). Callie was a kind and generous host, and we were not disappointed when following her recommendations for where to eat, scenic spots, etc. We had a wonderful stay at this property and would absolutely recommend it to other travelers.

We loved our stay in Callie and Susan’s beautiful house. The view and the house are even better than the photographs. Callie and Susan were very easy to communicate with and made the whole process very easy. They even left a Pack N Play for my 20-month-old daughter to use. We had some electrical issues thanks to an outage that happened before we arrived but Callie and Susan worked with us to get everything fixed. We would definitely stay here again!

Great view in Carnel
We had a really great stay in Carmel. This is a town we’re extremely familiar with and know that it’s hard to find places with lots of room plus a view. Best view we have had in our many stays in this area. House is beautifully remodeled while still keeping the Carmel quirkiness/charm. Very nice to have dedicated parking. We were thrilled to be overlooking the ocean with lots of room for having a family dinner and just hanging out enjoying the beautiful location. Callie is wonderful and very responsive. We will definitely rent again.

Beautiful Views, Amazing Location
Spent the holiday weekend at this beautiful property. Views were stunning, even more breathtaking in person. Location is great, close to Monterey (15 mins), downtown Carmel’s Ocean Ave is minutes away, we went on the handcar tour in Marina which was only 15 mins away as well, close to many beaches and hiking trails. We brought our two labradoodles and they absolutely loved it here, the enclosed yard with dog run was so nice to have. Host was wonderful and provided a lot of recommendations of restaurants, dog friendly beaches, hikes, which were very helpful. The property was clean and comfy with all the amenities you could ask for. Had a blast and would definitely recommend.

This house is located on a hill overlooking the Monterey Bay. From the deck outside the main room, we watched the surf and the fog as it moved across the mountaintops. It's beyond beautiful. The house was very clean and very well equipped, and there were ample beds for everyone, including the 4 children. The main level has an open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area -- a great place for the family to gather. The host and property manager were friendly and accommodating. The manager met us to show us around the house.
