Unfortunately my stay was not ideal. A dog that barked quite a bit. I’m a light sleeper so it did affect my stay. This unit is below the main home so there was lots of noise coming from the ceiling. Creaking floorboards and plenty of steps from the dog walkers walking in/out. It’s spacious but was really not very clean. Lots of cobwebs and spiders. Bathroom sink that didn’t drain properly. On a positive note the bed was super comfy. And the sheets were freshly laundered.

We had a great visit to this charming Carmel home. The home is at the edge of a forest with a spectacular view from a private deck. The hosts were kind and helpful. Being dog friendly was great! We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful, quiet, central location, and perfect spot for a quick getaway. It’s hard to find a good spot to rent for a couple with dogs. This relaxing studio was more than we expected with an entry and kitchenette separate from the bedroom with fireplace and separate from a dressing room next to the bathroom. The dogs loved all the smells and visited Charlie at his dog door. The owners are very easy going and very excited to visit the dogs—or I mean saying hi to the dogs when they went to visit them. Such an easy stay with the fenced yard and dog door! The dogs just used the dog door and enjoyed the yard. We will definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay; thank you for everything!

The property was clean and included all that we needed. It felt very dog friendly, and our brief interaction with the host was pleasant. The location was convenient, in a nice residential neighborhood close to Carmel. The bed was comfortable, and altho the space felt a bit cramped, it was certainly good value for the price, and met our needs.

The studio was very comfortable, conveniently located and dog friendly! We enjoyed our stay.

This suite was perfect for recuperating and relaxing after 3 days of hiking in a big sur area. Susanne and Reg were perfectly accommodating and very hospitable. The suite feels like you are perched in the forest canopy because of the beautiful view that it offers. It was wonderful to have the kitchenette and fireplace. We made great use of both! Thanks for a lovely stay

Great place. Beautiful view for sunsets. Wife and I love coming here. This is our second time here. There will be a 3rd for sure

I totally enjoyed my stay in the studio. The hosts were wonderful and they loved my Queensland Heeler, Sheila! She gave them both kisses, which is unusual for her. Their dog Charlie is a polite gentleman! The deck is huge and the yard is safe for dogs. The bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. 5 stars!

We had everything we needed for this stay! Easy check in and check out. Place is comfy and comfortable.

Very, very clean with a wonderfully comfortable bed.

This place was better than was advertised, in our opinion. This was perfect for the stay. Charlie is a very sweet dog and came to visit a few times with our pups. Rog was there and we had a great conversation. There were no issues, except the WiFi did not get great service, and neither did our cell phones, but we were on vacation so who cares! :) Oh, and the bed!!!!! The memory foam bed was hard to get out of daily! If we come back up here, which we typically do each year, we would definitely like to stay here again!

Thank you Susanne and Reg for a wonderful stay! It was peaceful, quaint and yet so near to the places we wanted to explore while we were in Carmel, Monterey and Big Sur! We would definitely come again if we're back in the area! Thanks so much for the perfect couples' retreat space!

Could be an-issue if someone has mobility issues but directions were excellent and access was clear and easy. The motion sensors worked perfectly to illuminate your path and it felt like a bungalow in the woods, on top of a hill. Just enchanting. Only a hot plate to cook ( I hadn’t noticed) but managed our poached eggs in the mornings and that was all I needed. Extensive collection of dvds, cds, albums, you name it! We took our older cat and she was quite contented once we laid down the plastic owl outside the gate. She wouldn’t come inthe sitting room- as the owls eyes terrified her! The last night we even got to enjoy a real owls serenade for some time . Just magical. Thanks for the thoughtful and well appointed hideaway! Very well situated ever so close to everything!! And easy to find.

We were looking for a quite, cozy relaxing get away. This was perfect. Everything you need in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, dog door and BBQ. We will definitely come back. Very quiet, easy access to Pacific Grove and Monterey. Everyone is very nice.

The studio was clean. No paper to light a fire and only 1 space heater. The walkway was a little unsafe but overall the studio was in a great location and had everything that we needed at a great price.

This was a wonderful place for my wife and I to stay for a week. Reg and Suzanne are showed wonderful hospitality while at the same time respecting our privacy. If you are looking to go to Carmel and not break the bank I would highly recommend this property. The Aquarium passes were also a big perk that saved us the $49.99 pp entrance fee. We met family members there and they loved it so much they purchased the Ocean Advocate program so they can come back. I hope you getting a commission on that Reg....LOL. See you again in the future for sure

We were very impressed with this location. We loved all the charm! BBQ available, a nice yard to have our dogs roam in also and so comfortable and clean! Gorgeous views from the huge windows and also the owners were nice enough to let us use their Monterey bay aquarium passes ! We definitely will be back!!

We loved our stay at this studio. It was perfect for my husband and I and our dog. The studio is a charming, decorated with antiques, with a lovely view of the woods right from the sitting area and from the bedroom. Access to the lower deck for us and our dog was delightful...and the host was gracious, making us feel welcome but not intruding on our time at all. The studio had everything we could need, from toiletries to creamer in the fridge; tv & internet, books, guides to the area and games. Conveniently located to the village, the beaches, etc. It made for a delightful getaway. Thanks! --Julia & Scott, Walnut Creek, CA
