Fairy tale cottage.
My favorite VRBO. Spotless, warm and cozy. Hillary has supplied everything including spices, aluminum foil and robes no less! The cottage and the gardens are something out of a Hans Christian fairy tale. Hillary is incredibly responsive and clearly takes great care of the cottage with love. Pure perfection.

Dream getaway in Carmel
This was a rare opportunity to have a relaxing stay in Carmel for a few days. This home is especially lovely and comfortable. The host has thought of everything we could have wanted. The outside grounds are stunning with plenty of areas to sit and enjoy nature. We just got lucky that it was available. I can't imagine it not being booked pretty far out. It is very close to the shops and restaurants in Carmel and the beach, but is situated in a quiet neighborhood, away from noise and traffic. We loved it and the host is wonderful!

Cozy Home Away From Home
This is our second stay and it was lovelier than ever. The gardens and outside seating areas are terrific for reading, having a meal or just relaxing. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can make meals if you decide not to visit one of the nearby restaurants. It is a short walk to downtown Carmel. The beds are super comfy and the fireplace is an added cozy touch. Hillary was also great to communicate with and very responsive. We will return!!
