This is a wonderful place to stay in Carmel. I was here over the New Year and it was just perfect! The property itself has breathtaking views and is beautiful throughout. Callie and Susan have thought of every detail to make it super comfortable, cozy and fun. This property is a very short drive to the Carmel village, ocean, hiking and more. I highly recommend it!

My family and I had an excellent stay. Susan and Callie were very responsive, left very clear instructions/showed us around when we arrived. Great location. Very kid and dog-friendly - I feel they go above and beyond to make the guest's stay comfortable as well as fun. Would highly recommend this spot.

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.

Carmel is a wonderful spot, and this home is just on the eastern edge of town. A lot of light, and a spectacular view of the valley and the sea to the west. Home was clean, quiet and well equipped. Really appreciate the gracious hospitality and great communication.

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!

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.

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.

Carmel is gorgeous, but it's hard to leave the house itself, it's so cozy and overlooks everything. Callie's a warm host, has lots of recommendations for things to do. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

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.

I’ve now stayed in both units. Callie and crew are the best. Attentive, available by text, and they love dogs. 🐶 The place is immaculate and stocked with EVERYTHING! Beach chairs, every spice you could think of, condiments, shampoo, conditioner, soap and on and on.

This place was perfect in every way. Loved our stay here and would love to return.

We loved our time at this lovely and spotless property. Great views! Wonderful bedrooms. The kitchen had every appliance and dishware you could need. Spotless. Property manager met us on the first day and was very helpful. The only thing that could've been better is the wifi - which didn't really work in the back bedroom.
The location is good, not great. You're off of highway 1 -- and it was surprisingly not noisy. However, you cannot walk to Carmel By the Sea - you need to drive everywhere. That said, the neighborhood is nice and in a quiet cul de sac - it felt very safe.

My family and I stayed at this property for a few days in late June. The house was very clean; the kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed; and we had a great time!
5.0
The owner provided stellar service and communication. Loved the view and everything was perfect except that the house is close to the highway so you can hear it from the back deck, although you can’t hear any traffic when the doors are closed. Besides that, it’s 10/10

Wow! This property is just stunning. It is even better than the pictures.
We came with multi-generational family to celebrate my in-laws' 70th birthdays. It worked great for us, as there are sort of multiple "extensions" of the house for bedrooms and then a nice large common living area. And of course, the most stunning view and lovely deck.
The host was so kind, generous, gracious; responsive to what we needed but non-invasive.
We'd 100% stay again if we are so lucky!

This property is amazing. Gorgeous home, perfect amenities, and warm hosts. We’ve stayed at many places, but this completely ruined us for anywhere else. It was genuinely like staying in a friend’s home. Not only did we have absolutely everything we needed, we also felt a homey, welcoming vibe. I truly can’t say enough good things about it. Callie and Susan are absolutely delightful. Thank you so much! We will be back!! XOXO

Our family had a special occasion that had us flying across the country to see our son in Monterey. We are not real familiar with the area so we were unsure of exactly where to stay. We struck gold! This house has it all! What a view of Big Sur and Carmel beach. The house is so well appointed and comfortable and the location is ideal for both Carmel and Monterey. The property owner, Callie, was responsive to every question we had, a real joy to work with. We hope to be back again.

We were blown away by the furnishings and the amenities. The view was the clear winner. We were anticipating that we would be letdown because the photos in the listing were so amazing. It was even better in person. The hosts were also very attentive, helpful and kind.

The house is beautiful and clean and comfortable. But the ever changing weather made the views spectacular!

Let me begin by saying the pictures do not do this place justice! The views…I believe everyday, someone said “ooohhh, look at that view”(multiple times). And the house itself was pure perfection. We had 7 adults, 2 kids, 6 & 3 and 2 dogs full time. Then added two more adults a 2 year old and infant during the day. It was so perfect for our family. We were celebrating the arrival of our newest grandson and his baptism. As well as just having the whole family being together. We played games and enjoyed the deck. The kitchen was perfect and we cooked a lot. There were too many of us to go out much. We hiked, went to the aquarium and enjoyed our time with each other. This house was perfect for it all. Callie was so gracious and kind. Leaving us a wonderful note and bottle of wine for our stay. She was so attentive and checked in to make sure all of our needs were met. The house was so well appointed. It was great to have shampoos, conditioners and body washes in all of the bathrooms. And I really appreciated the coffee pot filters and stocked coffee station. They have thought of every detail. Including games and toys for the kids. Soooo thoughtful. I can’t say enough positive things. This was by far one of our best VRBO experiences and we have had many. Thank you for everything!

From entering to the breathtaking view of Carmel Bay and the mountains, to sleeping in comfortable beds & making great use of the many amenities available in the kitchen, the Lodge was the perfect location for quality time with family! The 3 bedrooms & baths ensured privacy and plenty of space for clothing etc. The common space was perfect for after adventure conversation. Really appreciate the attention to detail (from many wine glasses to plastic containers for leftovers!) and the easy access to many wonderful sites. First time to Southern California, and hopefully it won't be the last. Thank you, Callie, for a spectacular week!

Our family gathered here from Southern and Northern California for Christmas. The house was perfect for us with plenty of room, comfort and privacy for everyone. The crowning glory of the house is its spectacular views of Carmel, its coast, hills and sunsets. The hosts are gracious and extremely helpful. It was a perfect spot for our holiday.

I'm so glad we decided to stay at this stunning property! From the moment we hit 'book', we were in such good hands thanks to the hosts. I always appreciate when the information about the property is thorough and well communicated. It made getting to and accessing the property an absolute breeze!
Once we arrived, the home was so clean, and everything was easy to find and well indicated. The views from the living room and master bedroom literally took our breath away! I loved the decor of the house too, each room had its own theme, and I loved all of the details too.
Throughout our three-night stay, we didn't want to leave the house much as the views were so stunning and the house was so cozy and well equipped with everything we needed. Although, when we did leave the house, it was so convenient to get wherever we wanted to go thanks to the great location. Only minutes away from Carmel-by-the-Sea and so close to Carmel Valley, or downtown Monterey!
I loved the open kitchen which made it easy to cook while still being a part of everything in the living room. I just wish I was still snuggled up on the couch sipping my coffee and taking in that view by the fireplace.
The beds were beyond comfy too which is so important when staying away from home and we now want to buy the same mattress! Also, the shower off of the master bedroom was one of my favorite features as well.
Overall, this property is an absolute gem, a true home away from home. From the house itself, to the views, to the fabulous friendly and communicative hosts, we won't be staying anywhere else on our future trips to Carmel.
Thank you so much!!!

This beautiful home was pure magic. An immediate WOW. I was there with 8 friends for a Girl Scout Reunion and we had the time of our lives.
For starters, it was wonderful that the host, Callie, met us there and did a short run-through of the house. She was on-point with communication before, during and even after our stay. One of our group left some clothes at the house, Callie popped them in the mail immediately. Upon arrival there was quiet music playing, the fireplace on, snacks and a bottle of wine waiting for us.....very welcoming!
The views from the decks are way better in person, they knocked our socks off. Who gets a view of the ocean, Pt. Lobos and Carmel Valley all in one place? This was better than the views I've had at rentals in Pebble Beach through the years. It was so amazing to sit outside on the deck with a glass of wine and enjoy old friends!
The inside of the house is immaculate and artistically decorated with simple but bold colors and soothing Big Sur images in each room. The rustic elegance of this 'Lodge' is charming and upscale. The kitchen is fully equipped, you actually do cook with a view! There are 2 master suites with their own bathrooms, the Guest Room has a newly remodeled bathroom just outside the door. The shower is particularly cool.
The only drawback I can imagine here would be accessibility if there are elderly people or others with mobility issues as there are 2 sets of stairs to get down to the main living area. But this was not us (yet!), we had the time of our lives.
We loved it, thanks VRBO!

Not quite what we expected…. Enough room and the kitchen was fine but there is another rental downstairs so the noise level can be an issue…. Voices carry. Just not the privacy we were expecting. BUT a nice place for a family to stay.

There is simply not enough space to adequately describe each and every detail about this FABULOUS property, so I will share just a few highlights. First, the views. OMG. Second, the comfort of all the furniture, including wonderful beds and linens. Third, the MANY other amenities that exist to make sure you are comfortable and feel at home. Indeed, I came home and looked online for a few things that I used at the house that we do not have! Fourth, the owners of this property are the BEST. I just love them and hope to remain in touch.! You cannot ask for a better experience!

Callie is the best host I've ever had for a rental. She was SO responsive and helpful and gave us a tour of the house upon arrival. She really takes pride in her property. The house was perched up on a hill overlooking the Carmel Valley. It's a stunner!
We had 3 adults and 2 kids and were super comfy at the house. It's a really cool property to spend time in.
