Photos and Description of the Carmel vacation house rental
House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)

Enchanted Oaks is a beautiful, custom cottage perfectly located with easy access to Highway 1 and all that the beautiful Monterey Peninsula has to offer. Five minutes from downtown Carmel, world class restaurants & stunning beaches but a world away from the crowds is this perfectly appointed, detached guest house surrounded by peaceful wooded views, privacy and nature.

Recently built in 2009 Enchanted Oaks is appointed with dark hardwood floors, stone tile bathroom with walk in shower, cozy gas fireplace, walk-in closet & gorgeous forest views from every room. The state of the art kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare a simple breakfast or an elegant meal. Huge windows overlook a small wooded canyon with total privacy, you’ll share your visit with the multitude of birds & wildlife that frequent our property and enjoy the unique feeling of staying in the forest canopy.

There is one bedroom with a brand new super comfy custom made queen size mattress with crisp, high quality linens. The second bed is a queen size air mattress suitable for children or teens. We also have a pac-n-play for our guests with young children.

Located up a hill in a lovely residential neighborhood situated between downtown Carmel and the mouth of

Carmel Valley we frequently find ourselves above the fog that sometimes persists nearer to the coast.

A 300 square foot wrap around deck, to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine, is fully enclosed in case

you bring along your best friend. Pets are welcome with owner approval, no extra fees. Off leash beaches,

wooded trails and parks abound offering peace and exercise for both two and four legged vacationers.

Being Carmel natives, born and raised, the owners’ extensive knowledge of the area is reflected in the

visitors information which includes reviews on local restaurants, must see sites, fun day trips,

things to do with children and the many spots where your dog will be welcome. In addition to tons of

useful information, two complimentary Aquarium pass are available with evey stay. Literally less than

10 minutes to attractions like 17 Mile Drive , Point Lobos State Reserve, Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey,

Cannery Row & the Aquarium, Lover’s Point in Pacific Grove, Monarch Butterfly Trees, vineyards of Carmel

Valley & Stunning Big Sur (OK this one is a

little further than 10 minutes but you won't notice, the drive is that beautiful!)

Enchanted Oaks is the perfect place to take advantage of all that this exciting area has to offer. Stay with us for a unique and relaxing vacation experience.

About The Owner

This Property has been in our family for over 40 years. The main house which we now reside in was Kari's childhood home. We moved in and built the cottage, Enchanted Oaks, in 2009. We feel so blessed to be able to raise our two daughters in this incredible place and look forward to sharing it with you.

The Owner purchased this house in 1972
What makes this house unique

The peace and tranquility of this special place are hard to describe. Looking over the canyon and at level with the tree tops offers a very unique perspective and is the perfect place to take in nature. The birds are abundant and their songs fill the air. We've enjoyed the presence of a pair of Great Horned Owls many nights this year as well as visits from deer, quail, woodpeckers and even a few Bobcat and coyote sightings. On warm days we open the doors and let the sounds, sights and sweet smell of nature in. Our Cocker Spaniel Zeke spends his days playing ball and running in the woods, a dog's paradise.

Definitely Enchanted!

Our week-long stay could not have been more perfect. Kari and Dan were warm, welcoming and founts of local information; the cottage itself was delightful, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It felt just as it is described -- like a much-loved home. We enjoyed the serenity of living amidst the trees and amongst the birds, and we loved the sunshine and flowers everywhere! We also enjoyed the proximity to so many beautiful places -- from downtown Carmel (and its fleet of King Charles spaniels) to Carmel Beach (and its friendly dogs and people of all spots and stripes); from the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and waterfall to Pfeiffer State Park and Beach (when we finally found them); from the incredible views of Big Sur to the exquisite hikes of Los Lobos; and, finally, from Monterey's aquarium (free passes provided) to Big Basin's redwoods. Best of all, though, was coming "home" to a relaxing fire and peaceful evening at Enchanted Oaks at the end of every day. Thank you again, Kari and Dan!

Wonderful Vacation in Cramel by the Sea

Myself, husband and 5 yr old Labrador had a wonderful weeks holiday in this great home. We have stayed in several vactaion rentals in both USA and UK. The pictures are a true reflection of the place. It was very clean and spacious and has all the amenities of home. As the house is in the 'woods' you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but It is very conveniently situated-Its about a 5min drive to the centre of Carmel with all of the shops /resturants and the beach, and only a 2 min drive to nice restaurants/shops at the Barnyard and the Crossroads. I would not hesitate in recommending the house to others. Thank you for a lovely stay. Lisa, Leon and Oscar.

Beautiful peaceful escape

My wife and I stayed at Enchanted oak for 3 days: April 19th to 22nd 2012 and we had a marvelous time. This cottage is well equipped with a beautiful living room and dining area and good sized kitchen with all appliances. There is a large bedroom with walk in closet and bathroom and shower. A balcony raps around the entire cottage with views of the forest. The home is quiet and relaxing yet so close to Carmel, Big Sur and Monterry with all the shops, dining and attractions this area is famous for. There are nice personal touches in this home that shows how much the owners care for their home. They responded promptly to our inquiries by E mail before we arrived, and provided directions, and when we were there answered our questions right away. They live in main house next door. They were courteous and professional.
We certainly recommend this property highly and we will be back to renew our fond memories.

Lovely cottage in serene location

5 of 5
Submitted: April 19, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Lovely private cottage separate from the main house, with everything provided that a traveller might need. Gorgeous location, like staying in a treehouse. Loved the very busy birdfeeder right outside the lounge patio windows. Driveway looks really scary but isn't so bad once you get used to it! The absolute best shower (couldn't get out of it!), comfy beds and lounges and a million TV channels! Sofa bed no longer works as a sofa bed but a very comfortable blow-up queen bed was provided instead. Very happy with this accommodation and would definitely recommend to others.

We stayed 13 nights and the cottage worked out well for us and our doodle Boone. Really good value particuarly since the rate incl all taxes and there's no pet feee. We'd stay here again. No big deal but the owner might want to go thru the frig and freezer sometimes to clear it out of some stuff that's left by other guests. For guests ensure that steps aren't a problem since it's a pretty steep set of steps down to and up from the cottage to street level. Minor points - overall good spot and we liked it. Nice family as owners.
