Mid Century Modern Large private patios and Great Ocean Views! Private hot Tub.

We had a great stay here. The view from the deck, living room and bedroom are spectacular. And there's an awesome coffee maker and milk foamer. Host is super friendly and welcoming.

Perfect for a treat of a trip. We loved staying in such a iconic Mid-Century Modern home, and being able to just absorb the beauty and serenity of the area right from our base camp. Bill does a great job settling you in, and explaining the intricacies of his home, as well as some of the unique decorations and features. We loved finding little details, and enjoyed the thoughtful amenities and setup. Highlights for sure are the patio, living room fire place, lovely and comfy beds, and the hot tub, which is perfect for stargazing on a clear night. Bonus points for watching spectacular moon sets from the comfort of my bed. Bill is very detail oriented and organized, and you won't want for anything while you enjoy his home. Thank you - we made happy lasting memories of being in Carmel. Super duper bonus points for being a nice place for the pups - they loved being Carmelitas for a few days.

This is a beautiful home. Well appointed, beautifully done, Very comfortable, several areas for seating, both indoors and out. The art work in and around the grounds is so interesting and eclectic, as are the furnishings. Bill resides in the lower apartment while renting out his main house. He is a very accommodating host with lots of knowledge of the area. Highly recommend!!

Amazing house, gardens and views.

It's a very private home with an amazing deck to enjoy the sunsets.

Great stay! This fantastic property boasts an unbeatable location and stunning views. The furniture and bedding are top-notch, and the gas fireplaces—both indoors and out—create the perfect cozy atmosphere for chilly nights.It has all the amenities you could hope for. An espresso machine for lattes would be a nice bonus (perhaps a Breville Barista, since Bill’s a fan—worth adding to the wish list!). Owner Bill is super helpful and responsive; he’s done an amazing job curating luxury outdoor seating and lush gardens. His recent bathroom and shower updates fully address past guest concerns, showing he truly acts on feedback. Oh, and the radiant floor heating is incredibly cozy.

Not very pet (or young child) friendly. There was alot of knick-knacks. So much that we felt we had to be very careful not to knock something off a table or stand or something and break it. We did not leave our dog alone, as we were worried he might accidentally break something. It was okay, though, as the beach and town are very dog friendly! Good location, and comfortable.

Excellent property, wonderful outdoor area, Jack and Jill shower was ackward. I felt that the listing showed two complete (with shower) bathrooms. My fault I should have checked more carefully. Only blemish on a terrific property. I can’t imagine that as attentive as bill is and how relatively easy this would be to change that bill won’t do it.

This property has significant pros and cons. While we thought we were renting the entire place, there are actually three homes on the grounds: one in which the owner resides and two rental units. We were required to meet with the owner to gain entry; we also had daily interactions with him on the property or by text. We could see the other rental unit's yard from our balcony and were asked not to use the balcony when the renters were outside for privacy reasons. As to our backyard, the landscaping and water features were incredibly beautiful but the furniture was covered, rendering the yard absolutely unlike the photo and making our portion of the property somewhat dismal. The owner requested that the furniture remain covered when not in active use to protect it from bird droppings. There were no droppings on the covers. Since the yard was visible from the main rooms, we ended up taking the covers off because it was simply too depressing otherwise. No droppings ensued during our 8 night stay.Also, the home is really 1 1/2 baths, as one of the bathrooms only has a shared shower.All that said, the home has an interesting art collection, an enchanting entry from the drive, a lovely view, and nice features throughout. The owner was also very welcoming of dogs and provided dog bowls and brushes for the stay.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property and so close to downtown Carmel and to nearby grocery store. Bill was super helpful and gave us lots of tips of the local area. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home so close to downtown Carmel.

The property was comfortable and as stated. We spent 90% of our time in the yard which had a lovely view and filled throughout with interesting and magical plants birdhouses fountains and like. Owner very nice and helpful.

Bill, was very thorough and organized. Well done!

If you read the reviews below (as I did) from past renters they are accurate on every level! This house is a 10 out of 10! The owner has thought of everything to make his house comfortable, immaculate and a home away from home experience! We spent 2 days/nights there and I would rent it again in a heartbeat. Comfortable beds with luxurious linens, plush bath towels, lovely toiletries, robes, fireplaces indoor and out, hot tub, and fenced in for our small dog. Also a gourmet kitchen with coffee & tea station, and high end appliances. The landscaping is beyond incredible - with something interesting to look at every few feet. Our weather wasn't conducive to spending too much time on the beautiful deck, but owner has plenty of loungers, chairs, tables, bbq and a fire pit to enjoy the view and the peacefulness if you desire to be outside. We never took the long hike to town, but you can drive to it and the ocean strand within 5 minutes. This place showcases the best of Carmel!

This property has everything you need from a great stay--excellent host, clean + comprehensive amenities, a gorgeous view with plenty of natural light, and a great location! 5 min drive to downtown Carmel and Carmel beach, and Bill is super responsive as a host, he got us everything we needed. We loved the hot tub, watching the sunset from the porch, using the kitchen for big meals, and lounging on the couch in the evening. 5/5 recommend, and hopefully we'll be back!

Perfect location. Has everything just like we were home.

Very nice home, just as advertised. Clean, comfortable and the host was great. Would do it again.

We loved the property and the weather. We honestly just wanted cooler weather for a few days. The property and grounds were great and proximity to Ocean ave was great. We loved the art and the landscaping. Got some ideas while there too. See ya again one day!!
