Hidden beauty
The accommodation & garden we’re both gorgeous and our super friendly hosts, Brenda & David, provided tips which made our stay easy. It was great being amongst the beautiful big trees rather than in a motel in town. Thank you, we will definitely be recommending you to our friends.

Rustic Studio in Carmel by the Sea
We enjoyed our two-day stay at the Petite Papillon rustic studio in Carmel by the Sea. The hosts worked to ensure we enjoyed our stay by providing us with fresh fresh ground coffee, a bottle of chilled wine and numerous recommendations for dining, activities and sightseeing. The studio is conveniently located about 1/2 mile from the center of the village.

Cozy Carmel
We stayed here for four nights. We slept well each night since the bed is very comfortable. We had private, offstreet parking and were in walking distance from downtown Carmel. The bathroom is large, with plenty of counter space and there is a large closet to stash your luggage out of sight. We looked forward to sitting on the patio but the rain kept us away. The hosts were very helpful with dining and activity suggestions. Overall, this rental was perfect for us.

Carmel's best getaway
I have only good things to say about this property and the hosts David and Brenda. The studio was exactly as described, well equipped and located, but what really sets this apart are the personal touches such as welcome note, wine and coffee and drinks, communication in general and tips on what to do etc. Would definitely stay here again, thank you David and Brenda for a memorable long weekend in beautiful Carmel
