"Corola the property manager was amazing. The power had gone out in the area right before we got there, she was going to get us lanterns but it came back on so we called and let her know. Unfortunately the power only stayed on for 15 mins and then went back out the rest of the night. We disnt want to bother Corola to come out with the hope the power would come back on. Overall the property is very nice and bed was comfortable. Will need to visit again so we can really enjoy it more with power...

"Excellent location. Deer visited the front yard every morning. Parking for 3+ cars, could probably fit six cars in the driveway if you really tried. No dishwasher, no problem. Photos need updating, as some of the furniture is different than pictured. More photos would be helpful for people to get an understanding of the floor plan. The shower head in the downstairs bathroom is low (approx. 5'6" high). Kitchen chairs need some attention. The legs on most are loose. All in all, the...

"We were very comfortable in Diane and Chuck's delightful cottage. It has been put together with artistry and anticipation of guests' needs: we appreciated the supplies of basic provisions for guests' use. The location is peaceful and relaxing despite its proximity to the centre of Carmel, just a 15-minute walk away. We particularly enjoyed the attractive timber deck with its range of seating. "

Sunny Bungalow

"My family and I had a great time at the Sunny Bungalow. The house had everything we needed to make meals, relax, and have a great time. We played board games, relaxed in the beautiful backyard, and slept comfortably.  We spent most of our time at cannery row, the wharf, and the aquarium. The drive from the house to these areas was not far at all.  I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Yen for opening up your home to my family. "
