Cute, comfy and well-located
Publié le 16 nov. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe spent 8 lovely nights in Barry's Guest House on an extended vacation. He was SUCH a wonderful host! Proactive in sharing information and very responsive when we had any questions.
We had been to Las Vegas and Disneyland prior to arrival in Carmel. What a pleasant change!
The cottage had everything we could possibly need. From the beyond comfortable bedding to the luxurious shower, everything was awesome.
Several times later in the trip, we lamented how much we missed the always ready hot water and great water pressure in the cottage shower.
We watched TV comfortably most night. Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV were all available with our subscriptions.
And it was so nice having access to convenient laundry facilities downstairs from the cottage.
Thanks, Barry!

Romantic Escape to Carmel
Publié le 27 oct. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe were on our 40th Anniversary trip and stayed at this dreamy little place. It is so quaint. Very clean and comfortable. Small but doesn’t feel small because every detail is perfect.
From the start, our host, staged a romantic atmosphere. The lights turned down low and music on the tv as we entered along with a nice note and treat on the table welcoming us. It was a lovely surprise and set the tone for our trip.
Barry is an excellent host. He was a wealth of knowledge of things to do and see, not just tourist spots but unique places. He had little surprises throughout our stay that were so thoughtful but not intrusive. You will love this place!! We will definitely return.

Dear Tammy, it was my pleasure to host you for your special anniversary, and I'm glad you appreciated all the romantic touches. Carmel is already such a romantic place with its secret courtyards and nightly sunsets over the ocean. And thank you for writing such a wonderful review! I appreciate you taking such great care of the cottage. Please know you are welcome back anytime. Feel free to think of this cottage as your home away from home. All my best to you both! Barry

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway
Publié le 5 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe stayed for a week in this little studio/cottage just steps from the hustle and bustle of downtown Carmel, with a location so quiet and secluded it felt like everyone was miles away.
We have stayed in many rentals and Barry's communication was by far the best of any of the hosts we have worked with. The info provided prior to arrival was perfect, and his response time to any questions we had was superb. He is clearly committed to every guest having a wonderful experience.
The cottage is exactly as pictured/described. The bed was very comfy and the linens were wonderful. The provided toiletries were a pleasant surprise - liquid soap for the bathroom sink plus shower gel and shampoo in the shower - and unlike most hotels they did not have a strong scent, which we really appreciated.
The location is perfect for walking to restaurants & shops. If you are not familiar with Carmel you should be aware that the beach is a fairly steep walk uphill to return to the cottage. But there is public parking and street parking if the walk is too much for you.
If we find ourselves back in Carmel in the future I would only rent from Barry.

Dear Valerie and Bill, thank you for your kind and generous review! And thank you also for the beautiful note you left in the cottage. It warmed my heart and made my whole week! Hosting you was my absolute pleasure. I'm so glad you enjoyed the private Film Festival I created for my guests, too. The weather in Carmel couldn't have been more magical during your stay. I hope it provided a well deserved respite from the heat in Dallas. Please think of this cozy cottage as your home away from home in Carmel, and know that you are welcome back here anytime. All my best to you both! Barry

Enchanting Honeymoon
Publié le 12 août 2024 sur HomeAwayThe only reason NOT to stay here is if it’s already booked. We utilize VRBO for all of our travels and have had a lot of good hosts along the way. Barry is by far above them all. Communication began at booking. He was flexible with our dates, he kept in touch periodically up to our stay, and checked in a few times while we were there to see if we needed anything, He thought of every detail. The cottage was very clean, perfectly located, and stocked with everything you might need. The cottage is located within easy walking distance of everything in the Plaza, Carmel Beach, the scenic houses along the beach; Point Lobos is only a couple miles away, Mission Ranch a five minute drive, Big Sur a gorgeous 30 mile drive south along the coast of Hwy 1, and Monterey about 15 minutes north. Carmel is a beautiful fairytale place that speaks for itself but Barry and the cottage make you feel like a local with a home away from home.

Dear Mandy and Scott, it was so wonderful to host you for your honeymoon! Not only did you write a beautiful review on VRBO, but the note that you left for me in the cottage warmed my heart. For never having me one another, you were so sweet to write all those comments, and I will miss you too :) Every time someone comes to our cottage to celebrate a life event like you two, I believe it builds a patina of love in the space that other guests can feel. Thank you so much for blessing our cozy cottage with your celebration. I hope you will think of this cottage as your home away from home and return as often as you'd like. Be well! All my best to you both, Barry

Dear Dave, what a pleasure it's been to host you and Judy in Carmel! And thank you so much for your kind review - I love the alliteration by the way! I hope you enjoyed time with kids at the Big Sur Marathon. My twins will be spending time at camp in your home state this summer, enjoying the beauty and historic charm of the east coast. How lucky you are to live there! Thank you also for taking such great care of the cottage. Please know that you are welcome back here anytime you feel the urge to spend time near your son. You may think of this cottage as your home away from home in Carmel. Until then... be well! All my best to you both, Barry

A Delightful Stay
Publié le 9 avr. 2024 sur HomeAwayMy husband and I stayed in this cottage and it was serene and comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. The host, Barry, had prepared everything immaculately and was always available if we had any questions or needed anything. The location is perfect, walking distance to plenty of restaurants, shops, and the beach. All the amenities are as described, and then some. We would absolutely stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Dear Jennifer and Chris, thank you for your wonderful review!! And for all of your kind and generous words! It was great to hear about your experience with the eBikes on 17 mile drive. I'll have to recommend that to future guests. As well as your dinner at Chez Noir. I haven't been there myself, but it's one of Carmel's two Michelin star rated restaurants and apparently they continue to win all sorts of awards. And how incredible that you were able to get out to Pinnacles Park and see California Condors and Bald Eagles!! It's so wonderful that these majestic birds are making a comeback right in Carmel's own back yard. And thank you for taking such great care of the place, too. You are welcome back here anytime (even if there's no medical conference). I hope you will think of this cozy cottage as your home away from home in Carmel and feel free to return whenever it gets too cold in Alaska. Until then, be well! All my best to you both, Barry

Couple retreat
Publié le 24 mars 2024 sur HomeAwayWe have enjoyed staying at the cottage. Barry had everything set up and ready for our stay. Very walkable to the village with shops and restaurants, and beautiful walks to the sea through the streets with beautiful homes. We would recommend staying here if you plan to visit Carmel.

Dear Steve and Debi, I'm so glad that you have enjoyed your stay in Carmel and that you got a chance to explore our little seaside village by foot. I find that simply walking through the streets and gazing at all the little cottages helps us slow down and take life at a more human pace. I hope you discovered that as well. And I greatly appreciate you taking the time to write such a kind review. It's been so nice meeting and hosting you in our little slice of heaven. Please feel free to think of this cottage as your home away from home in Carmel. You're welcome back anytime! All my best to you both, Barry
