"Spectacular cliffside property. Absolutely AMAZING views. The property is incredibly landscaped. Staff are excellent and helpful. for seniors and disabled persons it is a CHALLENGE to walk to property due to Many steps and steep inclines between the main building/lobby/restaurant and rooms and parking. That’s the only complaint. Rooms are very nicely done and the bed was excellent. Also…the One ice machine on property was broken. Would stay again but would ask for a room easier to walk."

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!!!"
