We have had the most wonderful stay!

This home is just perfect! The moment we walked in we felt at home. The furnishings and decor are pristine and SO BEAUTIFUL! Comfortable, cozy, clean with all the comforts of home. Walking distance the ocean, restaurants and shops. We hardly wanted to leave during our stay and we were more than a little sad to have to go home. Love love love! If we could give this rental more than 5 stars we would. We can’t wait to come back!

It has great access to downtown Carmel. The walking was just wonderful. Washer/dryer and fully equipped kitchen were so handy. We were concerned that noise or privacy might be issues but absolutely no problems. This is a great spot.

Great Location...
by Malibu CA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
My wife, daughter (12) and dog stayed her for a long weekend. We try to get to Carmel once per year, but this was our first time staying at a VRBO in town. The apartment is smallish, but clean, and quiet with a great restaurant across the way. A 2-min walk to Ocean Blvd., and a 15-min walk to the beach. Only issue is that the pull out couch is very small with a single mattress. With cold weather, there is only electric heating in the apartment, but it worked well for us.

We enjoyed our time at Cedar Place. The location is ideal and the unit was clean and organized. The TV's are a nice size but the cable and internet are spotty. Definitely something to improve on. Appreciated the king sized bed. The shower is not great and could be improved.

Great location! Walkable to everything in Carmel. We were able to score a parking spot right out front and didn’t need to move it until the end of our stay. Cute flat with all of the amenities! I would definitely recommend this property to others.

It Was a Great Experience
by Orcutt, CA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
This place was super cute and so well situated in town. We walked everywhere. Groceries just around the corner. The kitchenware could have been a touch cleaner but overall the place was really nice and we loved our stay. Would definitely go back. We like to sleep with windows open so not having screens on most of the windows was disappointing. The property management was very communicative which was nice. It was a great experience.

Exactly What Our Family Needed
by Orinda, CA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The Cedar room in this lovely courtyard was exactly what our family needed. With an excellent restaurant just across the way with a wonderful setting, it worked perfectly for our family! With a 16 month old, it was nice to be able to grab a nice dinner or brunch during naptime or bedtime! The location was fantastic as well, with all of the charming downtown Carmel within walking distance. The suite itself was wonderfully spacious and amenable to our stay. Our host left thoughtful gifts for us as well as additional items (beach toys, etc.) that added to our experience. Would definitely rebook in the future.

Lovely Place in Great Location

We had a little difficulty finding the place at first, but otherwise no issues. It is in a great location convenient to everything. The place was very clean and the wine and cheese that greeted us was a lovey touch. The staff checked in on us to confirm all was good, which was also a nice gesture. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Carmel who wants to be central to shops and restaurants!

Nice place on short notice.
by Moose WY

Overall Comment
I really enjoyed our stay here even though we did run into a bump in the road towards the end of our stay. We had added on an extra day and then a few hours later got a call that an appraiser would need entrance to the property for a few hours. I asked if we could have our last night refunded (we just booked a few hours prior to this info) The lady who delivered this info was not very friendly or understating of our frustration. One reason we were so upset and wanted to undo the last night booking was because we didn't want people coming into where we were staying with Covid numbers up and having a stranger around all our personal belongings made us uncomfortable. I know how hard it can be to book an appraisal so I was understanding of that...just didn't want to continue our stay with that in mind. Long story short we got our money back for the last day and sadly left early. I recommend this management company make people aware of any entrance needed to the property prior to booking. Other than that the place was clean, great location, and everyone else we dealt with when booking was very friendly. I would recommend this place and stay again. I do recommend they get better window blinds as there was a lot of light pollution at night.

Thanks very much for your review and we apologize for the very last minute appraiser visit. Unfortunately we sometimes get little to no notice from our homeowners about these 'visits' happening and have to respond at the moment. We are glad we were able to get you refunded and we look forward to your next visit to the area.
Delightful Modern Apartment
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We had a delightful stay at Cedar Place! The location is perfectly situated in downtown Carmel, just a few short blocks off Ocean Avenue making it easily walkable to shops, restaurants, and the beach. The apartment is fresh, bright, cozy, and impeccably clean. The dining and living room areas are comfortable and relaxed with a modern style in beachy tones. The rental management staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything was perfect! We could not have been more pleased with our stay.

It was our first visit to Carmel, so staying right in town was great. We walked everywhere.. and the place was very well appointed, and attractive. We met the Sanctuary vacation inspector as we were arriving. He was very nice, even offered to help carry our luggage and he gave us good tips on parking.
Our one note to management is that the place could have been cleaner. . There was dog hair on the sofas.
