Cozy Bungalow

Loved this cute Vrbo in a quiet Carmel neighborhood. We loved walking about 20 mins into town and the easily available parking spot I front of the house. Initially had a few issues with the unit the first night, but it was quickly resolved by the management property.

Weekend Aquarium Getaway

Location of this property is great! An included parking spot is a plus as street parking is limited due to the small streets. It's located close to everything you might want to do in the area.My only suggestion is to change the shower liner more often - the one there while we stayed had mildew/mold build up (eh it happens), but it didn't dampen our weekend at all. Great place overall!

Get Away

My husband and I booked the Quaint Bungalow for our Anniversary and it was just what we needed. More affordable than a hotel with nice privacy. Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, convenient parking, a short distance from downtown and Hwy 1. All the amenities you need for two guests and plenty of space. Check in was easy and the property manager was quick to respond. The space itself was simple but clean and comfortable. Great stay!

Cute base for our anniversary getaway

Everything was clean and functional. Sitting on the couch, I loved the view of an old oak tree draped in lichen. Climbing into the bed made me feel like a kid again building a fort! Super quiet neighborhood

Quiet Carmel hideaway

Very cute studio with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, including a super comfy couch. There were even some coffee pods to get us through the first morning! It's a bit far from downtown so a car is generally necessary, but it's a short drive. Also we came on an unusually hot week and it was really hot inside the apartment, but they provide a fan to help a bit.

Surprised by the sleeping area

The description is "queen size bed, tucked into a quiet sleeping corner". The bed is crammed against the walls on 3 sides, and is about hip height. Climbing in and out was a struggle. Inadequate wall sound-proofing meant we were awakened when the adjacent residents started their day, 6:30 and 7AM.

Lovely little place just a few blocks outside of town. Easy freeway access and also a 15 min walk from downtown Carmel.Our little suite was super tiny but we enjoyed the intimate setting. Also we were barely there, but it was cozy to sleep in. the kitchenette is loaded with useful stuff. We also made use of the guest manual to find a beautiful hike.One tip and only reason I’m not giving five stars across the board is there’s a light behind the showerhead which definitely doesn’t turn off from the inside of the unit. We tried every switch in the house. The rental company did not know how to turn it off either so I just gently unscrewed it and screwed it back in when we left. Problem solved!

The property has some of the most beautiful views you'll ever see if you love the mountains this is a great place to stay! Everything is so green! We stayed the first week of June We were there for a military graduation. The property is located less than 10 minutes away from Fort Leonard Wood, which was perfect for us. The house was very cute and nicely decorated. There were a few more bugs than I would have liked in the bathroom but we were in the woods so it's probably to be expected. It did get cold at night and there weren't very many blankets available and because the property is smaller turning up the heat was not preferable so few more blankets would have been nice. All in all we had a great time while we were in town and the property suited our needs. If we come back to the area I would be happy to stay here again!
