Sweet, Historic Cottage on Carmel Point

Sweet, Historic Cottage on Carmel Point

10/10 Excellent
"The cottage was wonderful...such an historic and fun story of Krys's family. It is over 100 years old but updated and kept up very well and with beautiful antiques. It is very clean and ample supplies were included. The grounds/landscaping surrounding the cottage is breathtaking!! You can spend hours on the patio taking it all in and watching hummingbirds having a blast!! Doug was quick to respond, helpful and accommodating. The location was perfect..., close to 'downtown' and grocery stores, etc.. The website does not show the kitchen but refers to it as being small but efficient....it has everything you need, including a dishwasher. The cottage is in a quiet and safe neighborhood and I/we will love to go back someday. The only caveat I would say (and you should be able to tell by the website) is it would not be an easy place for anyone with physical limitations, ie., wheelchairs, walkers, etc.. because of the steps up to the cottage. It definitely was a FIND ! Thank you for such a restful visit."
