Beautiful views of Carmel-by-the-sea and Carmel Valley. Location somewhat inconvenient due to a 2 mile uphill winding narrow road that is in disrepair. Quiet and secure.Mattress rather soft. Took 2 dogs and yard not fenced so had to be on a leash when outside.

We felt like we had stepped back in time in the cozy home, except with all of the modern amenities and luxuries! This "vintage", cozy home was so welcoming and so comfortable. We even had fresh flowers on our arrival. It is a drive up a mountain a bit and out of town but the respite from busy days was ideal for us. Would love to stay here again!

First time in Carmel

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The views were even more appealing than the listing can do justice to. We really enjoyed being inside and outside while we were there and taking in all that Carmel and the surrounding areas offered. Lou was great to work with throughout the process. Overall, a big thumbs up.

Just as advertised. The property was well maintained with a comfortable rustic charm. The kitchen was excellent and the beds comfortable. The location was just amazing. I’ve been all over the world and this is one of the most beautiful locations I’ve ever visited. Would definitely recommend 6 stars out of 5!

Breathtaking!

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home high in the hills overlooking the ocean and Carmel. The photos in the listing give you just a hint at the stunning scenery that envelops you - it was unbelievable. The home itself was comfortable and well appointed, nicely decorated. I really appreciated the privacy. It had everything I could have wanted for my stay. I loved it so much I started planning my next trip while I was still there. Spectacular!

This house feels LOVED!

This is a lovely house, with a great kitchen for cooking! Also the bathroom is so nice, with heated floors and bidet, quite a step up from your typical short term rental. Lou was very responsive whenever I had a question. It’s in a beautiful location but it is a bit of a drive to get up there (price to pay for peace and quiet and a view!), just so people are aware.

Unique property with panoramic views

Grew up in Carmel. 30 yrs worth. I can say that the location and privacy with fantastic views of the Pacific/ Carmel and Mission Beach are outstanding as well as views out Carmel Valley. Charming home that has a wonderful kitchen along with nice bath and comfortable bedrooms. Having stayed in just about every location and type of homes on the Monterey Peninsula, I can say that this property is special. The drive up the hill to the top takes about 5-6 minutes. Not bad. From the bottom of the hill your are 5 minutes to groceries and dining. The owner is responsive and polite. A real pleasure ! Bring your binoculars...

Lou’s house just never disappoints! It’s our second stay and we loved it! The kids love it. The location is fantastic and warmer than in Carmel. House is clean and wonderful to star gaze as there’s no light pollution. The fans worked well to cool the sleeping rooms down. It makes for an unforgettable get away!

Cloud 9

Felt like I was on Cloud 9. This is definitely the place to go to relax and enjoy the true beauty of God’s creation. And at the same time, shops and great restaurants were a mere 10 minutes away. This home is well equipped with lots of nice upgrades. My favorite being the heated bathroom floors. The owner is quite responsive and a really nice guy.

Dreamy Carmel Escape

Quaint with amazing views. We enjoyed the gourmet kitchen and the patios around most of the property. The rosemary was blooming and a friendly lizard came out daily to enjoy coffee with us. Super bonus was that we were above the fog most of the time and enjoyed watching it roll in and out. The road way up is long and winding so glad they warned us ahead of time.....it was worth it:)

Our Happy Place...

This is my second visit to this home, and it has now “officially" become my happy place- far from the fast pace of Chicago. I was thrilled for my husband to experience this home with amazing views,where you can truly experience genuine peace and quiet! Lou is the most gracious and accommodating host. Very responsive and ensured that we had a wonderful experience. The 1.8 mile drive up to the property is well worth it as you are greeted with unforgettable views of the bay to the west (sunset) and tree covered mountains to the east (sunrise). Easy access to grocery store and downtown Carmel/Beach. We made all our meals on site, grilling /using the well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed hiking throughout the day- Point Lobos State Park is literally at the end of the lane and heading south, Big Sur a beautiful winding drive. Lazy afternoons and evenings were spent outside on the patio enjoying the views and wildlife. The home is comfortably furnished and stocked with plenty of wood for the fireplace. My husband agrees that the bathroom with heated floors and toilet seat is a luxury we must figure out how to install in our home 😊. We highly recommend this home and we are already planning out dates for our next trip to this hidden gem!

This house is a dream come true. My family and I could not have enjoyed our stay more. The view is every bit as spectacular as you would expect and more so. We barely left the house the entire time we were there, and will definitely return again. Lou was fantastic, and we had everything we would need.
