Top Gibson Beach Hotel Reviews

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay close to restaurants and beach"

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

10/10 Excellent

"The website needs to be more specific on handicap accessibility. It really is not. Also, from the website. I thought it was on the same side as the ocean, not across the highway. Even with all that, the stay was fabulous. The desk clerk, Jessica, did all she could to find a room with the least number of steps for my wife. The valet, Sam, was excellent in bringing out baggage to the room."

Villa Mara Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Above all, the service was spectacular! Any questions or concerns were answered or addressed immediately. Special thanks to Rocky and Johnny for going above and beyond to make our stay as memorable as possible!"

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little cottage with great surroundings and very helpful staff"

Hyatt Vacation Club at Highlands Inn

8/10 Good

"Everything was great except the check in. They were too slow and couldn’t get our room ready even by 4 pm which is the check in time."

Stunning Ranch Home with Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"Magical property that was so well appointed with everything we needed. The hosts are immediately responsive. The eight of us had a fabulous week hiking, walking on the beach and lots of wine tasting! We will be back!"

Completely renovated Mid-Century Modern on Carmel Point - #VR250120

10/10 Excellent

"I have never had such a wonderful stay at a VRBO property! Daniel has thought of EVERYTHING! I am trying to figure out how I can get back to this property very soon! The quality of the towels, sheets and pillows was excellent. I value things like that. The house is so well appointed and charming. I got ideas for my own home! . The house is perfectly situated in that it is very close to the beach but far enough away from the busy number of people along the main drag of Carmel by The Sea. I will be back!!!"

3794 Forever Views II - Expansive Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay! The ocean views from the home are absolutely spectacular, and the privacy and peacefulness of the property are hard to beat. The house is spacious, beautifully maintained, and feels truly special. We loved seeing deer, quail, rabbits, a bobcat, and even humpback whales from the patio.The location is secluded yet just a few minutes from Carmel and local shopping. The property managers were exceptionally responsive and helpful throughout our stay.We loved it here and are already looking forward to coming back!"
