Carmel Getaway

Superior property - central to everything in Carmel & surroundings. High quality sheets, towels and Beautiful gardens & views out to the sea & beach. Wonderful property for us and our dogs. Great care & thought given to the property by the owner. We are in our 80s...and my balance isn't the best after foot surgery, so the entrance to the front door down a gradual slope with small steps and no hand rails was a little concerning for me. But, overall, the studio with fenced-in garden is surely the best you'll find in Carmel in VRBO. Thanks, Bill. From Mickie, Doug, Kirby & Toby.

Gorgeous property, kind host. Wanted to do a weekend getaway for some peace and quiet. That is exactly what we got. The property was immaculate and allowed for soulful rest.

Beautiful and cozy

This is our 4th time staying at one of Bill's properties (Atherton Cottage previously). This was our first time staying in this studio cottage. It was all absolutely stunning, especially the outside grounds. It's all so impressive, thoughtfully designed and so peaceful. Bill makes sure everything is set up in the house and extremely comfortable. Great communication ahead of time too! Thanks, Bill!

Perfect Carmel Getaway: Exceptional Hospitality and a Pristine Retreat

Our stay in Carmel was absolutely perfect, and we owe much of that to our wonderful host, Bill. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Bill had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The apartment itself was an ideal retreat for a couple—cozy, beautifully furnished, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need. The attention to detail was impeccable. The grounds surrounding the apartment were pristine and provided a serene environment that made our time there even more special. We truly appreciated all of Bill’s helpful information about the area, which made our exploration of Carmel even more enjoyable. His hospitality went above and beyond our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Bill, for a truly wonderful stay!

Great stay, beautiful private patio

The studio is attached to the bottom level of the main house but is a private, independent space. While it is small, it has everything you need. It is perfect for a couple to get away. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The outdoor patio is beautiful and is private (not shared) to the rest of the property. Check in process is with Bill, the host, so not contactless (just FYI). Bill was a great host. My husband and I and our two small dogs enjoyed our stay.
