The first thing we noticed about the property was the abundance of beautiful flowers. It rained every day we were in Carmel, but every day something new was blooming in the yard! It was really nice coming in out of the cold and having instant heat from the fireplace. Our host had a generous basket of goodies for us upon arrival, including a jar of her homemade jelly! The house had a cozy, homey feel but with ample space for our group of 6 adults and 2 children. The location of the property was great. We love the Carmel River Beach and were delighted to find it was just a short walk down the street. We loved staying at this property and will definitely come back!
Everyone in our family (four adults and two teenagers) agreed that our stay in this Carmel Point Charmer was the best. The home is comfortable and well-appointed; and it’s located just around a bend from the stunning Pacific Coastline. We hope to come again.
Perfect house and location for a group of old friends. We really enjoyed the house, both indoors and out, neighborhood, beach proximity, and Scenic Road proximity for a lovely walk. Downtown is a little farther but also definitely walkable if you prefer to skip the drive. We had a great time!
We had a wonderful stay - great location, wonderful home, and excellent communication with Joy.
My husband and I have stayed at several different places in Carmel and this one is one of our favorites! The home is warm and inviting. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked with everything we needed and more. We loved the coziness and privacy of the back courtyard. The location was perfect for walks on the beach and easy access to town. Joy was such a pleasure to work with. She made the whole process simple and easy! This place will definitely be a repeat stay!
Great location and very comfortable well maintained home
We loved Joy's house. This was a trip of 4 friends and we were each able to have our own room. The house was clean, perfectly appointed and in the best location! It was a 5 min walk to the beach, a 15 min walk to the Carmel Mission, a 20 minute walk to downtown Carmel, and close to Monterey, Los Lobos, and Big Sur. I DEFINITELY will return. Joy was very clear on instructions and checkin/out was very easy.
This trip is an annual trip for combined Mother’s Day and birthdays. Wonderful location in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to Carmel River Beach. Expansive home with four bedrooms and the most amazing backyard. One family member described it as a Villa. Joy, the owner, was especially responsive and attentive. This is a must stay in the Carmel area.
Overall, it was a great property for our trip with friends and young children. The backyard is perfect for kids to run around while adults can grill and sit in the courtyard. Easy walk to both the Carmel River Beach and Carmel Beach as well as downtown. Recommend!
Cute cottage with plenty of space for the family. Steps to beach and shoreline walking paths. Carmel is such a beautiful place to visit!
My husband and I just spent a week with his daughter, son-in-law and their 14 mo year son. The arrangement of the house works perfectly for different age groups—including 2 large seating areas for meals. The weather was unusually chilly, but we all enjoyed sitting outside both in front and in back with the lush gardens.
This house was just wonderful for our 3 generation family. Everyone was able to have their own space. The room with the twin beds worked well for grandchildren. Everything we needed in terms of bedding, kitchen pots, glasses, plates, etc, was supplied. The house is literally a block from the beach. We could not have been more pleased. The owner was easy to communicate with and gave us ideas for where to take the kids.
This was an amazing home, just what we were looking for. Spent one whole day enjoying the rooms and gardens. The neighborhood was wonderful and a short walk to the beach. Communication with joy was great. Would happily stay here again.
Four of us, friends for many years, traveled from Spokane WA and Livermore CA to spend a long weekend in Carmel together. We have been coming to the Monterey peninsula for many years, and this was by far the best experience we have had. The house felt warm and inviting. Everything we needed was available. The beds were very comfortable. It was a beautiful place for a respite from our daily lives. We plan to stay here again.
Large 4bedroom property perfect for our family including grandchildren. House had everything you would need for a fun family vacation with a great Carmel location.
We booked the property for a return to Carmel where we used to live. The home is well located with a short walk to Carmel River beach and a short ride from downtown Carmel. The home is well stocked with everything needed for a great stay. The excellent outdoor patios and seating areas are great for enjoying evenings with a glass of wine. Joy was very communicative and responsive with any questions. I definitely recommend staying here.
We really enjoyed our visit to Carmel and 4 night stay at the Carmel Point Charmer. We had 7 adults and 2 babies, and had plenty of space for everyone. The backyard was great for relaxing, playing games and grilling, and the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for cooking family meals. The location was perfect being just a few minutes from the beach, and we enjoyed daily walks along scenic drive. Would definitely stay here again!
We visited with friends and family and enjoyed this charming cottage! The location and backyard are wonderful for enjoying the outdoors and what the town/beach has to offer. Great area to walk around looking at the homes or stroll along the beach. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to grill in one night in the backyard. Our only downside is I don’t think there is air conditioning so it was a bit stuffy at nights in the master on the top floor with the sunlight. You can open the windows but there are no screens. Great experience overall and would certainly love to return!
Great location and walk to the beach.
This lovely Carmel house was home base for eight family members who came from out of state for a beach wedding. The four bedrooms and spacious interior gave the group ample places to have personal privacy but also allowed for group dinners. Whle it was located in a beautiful neighborhood near beaches, it was also easy to get to shopping areas.
We would definitely stay here again!
This home is in a wonderful location to walk to beaches and into town. It epitomizes a Carmel Country style home. It was a great floor plan for our family of 8, grandparents adult children and grandchildren. Host is an excellent communicator. Welcome gift was very generous and enjoyed by all. The home is well stocked for all needs. The decor is charming. The gardens are lovely and spacious. We are already talking about renting there again.
