Quaint Carmel | Bungalow Close to Beach

2.0 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (20)
"Location of this property is great! An included parking spot is a plus as street parking is limited due to the small streets. It's located close to everything you might want to do in the area.My only suggestion is to change the shower liner more often - the one there while we stayed had mildew/mold build up (eh it happens), but it didn't dampen our weekend at all. Great place overall! "
