About this property

Elegance & Serenity and A Short Walk To Town

This updated and charming 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with roaring fireplace, breakfast nook, and remodeled kitchen is on a 7500 square foot lot perfectly located in Carmel. With it's grassy back-yard, bluejay's playing in the bird-bath's, croquet in the afternoon, downtown Carmel By The Sea and the ocean just minutes away, you can park the car and pack the picnic basket. Close to a winding path to town with tennis courts and a darling kid park close by, this sweet home is in a real neighborhood where trees and story-book Carmel cottages abound. Parking for 3 cars and furnished with Ralph Lauren linens, high end appliances, this is as good as it gets. Owners know the area, the wineries, the places to go and they make all that information available to you. Whether you're attending the Concours d' Elegance, AT & T, Bach festival or a favorite friends wedding, this is a spot you'll return to year after year. Just like home.. stress melts away at Elegance & Serenity.

Quintessential Carmel Experience
As long-term VRBO users, we are pleased to offer a 5-srar review. Actually, it is important to note that this is actually two reviews. Clearly 5-stars to the property, which was clean, well-equipped, delightfully comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The location is convenient, and we felt very much at home. But further, 5-stars to Jan & Michael for being such gracious and personal hosts. Based on our description of the trip when we booked, the hosts anticipated all our needs and left us a number of pleasant surprises that were over and above anything we typically expect from a VRBO host. So for a couple, or small family, or two couples, we recommend this property highly. You will not be disappointed staying at this lovely home.

Nice place and quiet
We like to walk and this place is 10-15 min walk into town. Not close to the beach but not a problem as we walked down to it. Nice size for 2 couples. Updated. It’s on a second floor, about 15 steps up outside w railing.
