Cozy House in Carmel

Bill's house is a lovely spot to relax for a few days. The location is quiet and nice, just across the street from the Carmel Mission. We took a lovely walk to Carmel River State Park, then onto Carmel and Carmel Beach. The sunsets from both decks were fantastic. The house is cozy with 2 fireplaces, we really enjoyed our weekend there.

Beautiful and peaceful cottage in Carmel

As many others have mentioned, Bill has thought of everything. The unit is incredibly quiet, peaceful, private, yet close to all that the Monterey Bay has to offer. I will be returning. Thank you for hosting!

Peaceful retreat!

Bill's place is wonderful. So many thoughtful details. All the comforts are covered. And the multiple outdoor spaces around the property are beautiful and serene. He's put so much care into the place and you can feel it. The location couldn't be better for exploring the 17 mile drive, Carmel and Monterey. Thanks so much Bill!
