    We love staying at Matt’s place. It truly is the perfect Carmel home! The living room is spacious and relaxing, and it each bedroom is comfortable. The property is well maintained with a lovely front garden, and it is ideally located…Every night we walked down to the beach to catch the sunset, and the downtown shops and restaurants are also within walking distance. Overall we had a comfortable, relaxing stay and can’t wait to come back!

    We have stayed in Crane House multiple times over the past 10 years. It combines charm and simple living with convenient access to all of Carmel’s attractions - beaches, restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, even a pickleball court! It’s one of our favorite places to stay in Carmel.

    We have stayed here before and love this cottage and location close to the beach. Carmel is a very special place with lots of things to do - golf, hike, eat, shop, and see our west coast family. Matthew & Gloria were very attentive during a power outage we experienced for four days. Fortunately, the house has a gas hot water heater and stove. We will be back!

    Owner was responsive when we had a questions or needs. The location to the beach is ideal, just steps away down a secluded path. Lovely outdoor area with gardens, outdoor seating, table and two grills. Kitchen is fully stocked and comfortable with large window views to gardens. Owner has top quality baby/toddler bed stored away for use—we did and they’re great. Helpful binder with not only instructions but also good dining recommendations. Enjoyed our stay!!!

    This is a wonderful home, filled with art and charm. It is comfortable, well-equipped, and just a 1-minute walk from the beach. The owner, who manages the rentals, is easy to work with and helpful. We stayed here with our three children and found there was plenty of space for us all, especially with a usable yard and the beach so close by. We liked it so much we extended our stay by a month. We would definitely stay here again.
