The home was spacious, beautiful and inviting. Kathy had decorated for Christmas and it made our holiday memorable. The house and grounds had beautiful artistic touches throughout. The beds were super warm and cozy. The kitchen was extremely well appointed. The setting was beautiful and it was so quiet. What a wonderful place to rejuvenate. I loved it!

House was as advertised. Had everything we need for our 5 night stay. On a hill, so had a nice sunny patio vs houses near the creek that didn't get much sun. Kathy and Tony were a breeze to work with. Will definitely consider when we head to the Monterey peninsula again.

This property was very nice. Unfortunately, the homeowner lived across the driveway. She could not have been anymore difficult to deal with. I had rented the place but I told my brother he could have some family members over for pizza to catch up. We did have more people than expected but we were very respectful of the property. The homeowner was going to cancel our reservation. When we got home from the wedding, it was like she waiting for us. We were barely out of the car when she was yelling at us to be quiet. I will never rent a property where the homeowner is on site. She was a little too unreasonable.

Our family of 5 from the East Coast stayed 4 nights at Life Is Good. It was a perfect launch pad for our many adventures. We enjoyed the art, flora, and fauna; cooked delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen; and explored the local farmer's market and quirky shops, in addition to touring the blockbuster coastal attractions.

The property was just as pictured, tucked away in Carmel Valley off the beaten path. We had a deer come up to our window one morning, and many birds joined us on the patio. Lots of nice outdoor spaces for sitting with coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. We were a family of four and both of my teens were able to have their own room, which was great. Beautiful tile and eclectic and charming art throughout the house. Kathy was very responsive and eager to accommodate us. Overall it is a nice place to get away from it all. Very clean and everything working as it should be.
