The property is quiet and quaint with a charming, somewhat old-fashioned design. The rooms surround a cobblestone courtyard with lots of greenery, an outside fireplace with a table and some very low-seating chairs. Technology was up-to-date with Wifi, big-screen TV, texting communication with staff and charging ports on the lamps. Breakfast was also very nice with fresh fruit and fresh bagels - as well as other options like cereal, eggs, cream cheese, jam, coffee and/or tea. The staff were mostly very helpful and friendly with the exception of one person (the manager/owner I think). What I didn't like was the inconvenient parking down a steep hill away from the property - and the lack of consideration for accessibility. There was no place to unload except on the steep hilly street - no mention of any of this on the website. For someone with disabilities, it was very challenging. The staff did offer to help with unloading, which was nice. But I would think twice about staying there if you are physically challenged. The cobblestone grounds make walking with a cane or walker very difficult.

One of the best converted motel/apartment inn's I've ever been to. Very well appointed, great service, and super hip without being snotty. Super close to everything you'll want in Carmel, but also feels a little off the beaten path.

I stayed here with my two teenage kids (ages 17 and 19) for 3 nights last week. I choose The Vagabond’s House after doing extensive research on places to stay in Carmel and I can truly say it was the best decision! It is a small quaint “inn” with a bed and breakfast feel. The courtyard and fire pit with garden and trickling fountain was an amazing spot to have coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoons. There is a self-serve barista in the “office” which is a charming room with fireplace and someone is always at the desk for any of your needs. Breakfast is brought to your room every morning at the time you choose. Wine, cheese and crackers start at 4:00 each afternoon. We stayed in Room 3 which is on the first floor right by the fountain which I could see and hear from my bed. No air conditioner, but we were very comfortable with the windows open at night. There was a king size bed with a twin with trundle in a window nook, perfect for the 3 of us. The bathroom was huge with a beautiful soaking tub and separate shower with heated tile floors. And along with all of these amazing things were Randall, Thomas and Ian, who were the ultimate hosts—so welcoming and friendly and someone always available to take care of your every need. I highly recommend and will definitely be back one day!

I received a text upon checking that said: Just checking in on how your stay went. Please reply back with a score of 1-10 (10 being excellent) and any notes we should be aware of. Have a wonderful day! -Guest Services I replied promptly with: 4. Thanks for checking in. It was below expectations for the price point to be honest. The room felt old and tired needing some maintenance or updating. The windows were old single paned windows that leaked cold air and several panes were cracked. The blinds did not keep the sunlight out in the morning even though I had them shut all the way. The mattress felt very old and I could feel springs through it and it sagged into the middle. The breakfast was nice but the tea was forgotten this morning but was brought the first day. Just didn't meet expectations for over $300 per night. Disappointing Never received a reply from anyone. Disappointed that a hotel asks for feedback to improve presumably and doesn’t even bother to even reply. I would avoid.

I selected the Vagabond's House because it had the highest rating on Hotels.Com. The service was excellent; breakfast very good, and the room was immaculate. Only complaints: A bit noisy with people climbing stairs outside our window; parking was not too convenient, and the queen bed too small for the two of us. Overall, an excellent stay.

Amazing— my girlfriends have been going and staying here for past couple of heads and love it!

This was the cutest little place in a quiet spot of Carmel. The staff was awesome...so friendly and helpful. We loved our short stay and will be back!

Great location with fantastic staff.

The hotel was amazing, loved the location, courtyard with the fire pit, complimentary wine and cheese at 4pm every day and the staff was great. The only down fall was the bed, it had a huge dip in it and made the loudest noise everytime one of us moved. If they replaced the beds I would be back everytime I came to Carmel, but unfortunately the bed is so uncomfortable that our 2 night stay was quite sleepless.

Liked the breakfast, location, great comfortable bed. It had a kitchen, which we did not use. We would stay there again.

We were pampered with breakfast in bed, cream sherry and a fire, and fresh fruit.

The receptionists are very nice and hospitable. The room is clean, big and modern. The location is quiet. If you need anything, just ask from the front desk. We will definitely stay at this hotel again! 總而言之，我非常推薦～

Nice wood burning fire place in the room along with the gas fire pit outside!

Just perfect. The rooms, appointments, little extras, fixtures are all excellent- luxurious even. Bed is super comfy, fireplaces and firewood a nice touch, the decanter of sherry upon arrival! Staff is great. I would have liked a more elaborate breakfast to match the rest of the visit, but that's minor. Still a good breakfast.

Very good once again. Second year we’ve stayed here. Great service. Need more towels in rooms. No coffee in rooms but Quinn, the front desk manager, got us a small Mr Coffee and other items so we were set. Above and beyond! However at this price point shouldn’t be a. Issue. Otherwise great place well located in wonderful spot, Carmel by the sea.

So wonderful! Room was gorgeous, comfortable, and location was perfect! Breakfast in bed was simple and delicious. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. Would 100% come back.

Nice quiey inn. Comfortable room and bed. Nice staff. Hidden gem

My husband and I stayed here last week. The staff was so kind and accommodating. The courtyard is beautiful and the room was very charming and clean. It’s a lovely place to stay in Carmel!

Very cool place to stay. The room was awesome. The little courtyard was nice and quaint. Sitting around the firepit with complimentary wine and snacks was awesome. The only criticism would be that the time allowed for that is too short. They have a menu you can preorder your breakfast from daily, and it is delivered to your room in the morning . It is a short walk to shops and restaurants. The beach is a bit further a walk than we hoped but it really isnt far, just means you cant hear the ocean from your beautiful room. We would definitely stay there again.

Amazing staff and an amazingly cozy hotel. We loved our stay.

Totally charming little hotel. The only caveat is: you are apt to hear conversations from people who are sitting outside in the patio. That said, it didn't bother me. Randall was a great host. Nice to have Netflix in the room.

As first timers in Carmel, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vagabonds House Inn. We were in Room 4A with the private courtyard patio. The room was well designed to maximize the available space without feeling cramped. The bed was very comfortable and pillows were. The private patio had its own fountain and two chairs for relaxing. Breakfast is delivered to your room each morning. You choose your breakfast selections and delivery time. There is a firepit in the main courtyard, which is the perfect place to enjoy your evening wine and cheese. The staff was lovely and accommodating. The pink Camellias on the courtyard were in full bloom, lovely. Will definitely stay here again on a return trip to Carmel.

Absolute gem! I've never stayed at a place like this and will for sure stay next time I'm in town. Staff was also super helpful and kind. All around tops in my book!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Vagabond House! It was a beautiful Carmel cottage, that felt like our own. Service was impeccable, a friendly face to answer questions or help us get around. Others we met while there were frequent flyers, and I think we will be as well!
