10/10 Excellent
"The staff were extremely, genuinely, welcoming. My welcoming drink was a pint of Alvarado Street beer, which is a favorite. While I was checking in they also supplied snacks and were genuinely interested in my stay. The room had a free mini-bar with some great snacks. The evening turn down included cookies. Great ocean view from the room. The room also had a balcony which is nice touch. The location is quite and parking was easy. I will stay again."

'Carmel Tranquility' 2 Beaches 6 and 9mins walk from a bright & airy beach home

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing location, could walk to two beaches easily. We even walked into town a few times, for a bit of a longer 15ish min. walk. The layout of the home was great for Carmel homes - plenty of space, large dining area, great secret kids play room, all with beautiful landscaping. We would stay here again. Thank you!"

8/10 Good
"We had a great time but were disappointed by the minimal kitchen supplies, pits and pans ( literally 3 total ) and general supplies like trash bags and seasonings ( salt & pepper but nothing else ). For the price we paid, there should be better provisions for families wanting to cook a meal “at home”."
