Beautiful neighborhood. Very quiet. The beach was a mile walk downhill but going back was a bit tough. I would stay there again.

It's a very old property but in working order. Very clean which is great! It's a 15 minute walk from downtown but easier to just drive. Parking was a big plus. Slightly expensive for what you get.

Property is a little old but still charming place. Clean and comfortable. Tight parking but it’s given to be in Carmel.

Loved the bungalows was so cute and cozy, everything was clean and kept up , really enjoyed stay

We enjoyed the stay and would stay again but in a different room. The room walls were a bit thin as we could hear the neighbors conversations pretty clearly and we found the motion sensor bathroom lights/exhaust fan a bit obnoxious but overall it was a good room with comfy bedding and a good amount of amenities. You get a designated parking spot which was great. The fountain/pond area was nice at night but be aware there’s quite a few critters roaming around, they weren’t an issue but it’s worth noting.

Great stay! But my only complaint is the lack of service in the area. No cell service and the WIFI did not work. That is the only complaint for me other than that everything was clean, accessible, and affordable.

Very pleased with the overall stay. Room was spacious and the amenities (microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, iron) were included. Wi-Fi was very slow and inconsistent.

The place is quiet. The buildings were in bad shape on the outside. Signs stated that they are historic but historic preservation can be done to mitigate the buildings. Can use some TLC and remodeling.
