Vagabond's House Inn

I have stayed here many times since the 1990's. The ownership has changed, they have updated the courtyard and the rooms, and I miss the wood fireplaces. (The gas is OK but it is not the same a crackling, popping wood). This is a peaceful oasis a short walk from Ocean Avenue. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The bed is comfortable. We like the breakfast and the wine & cheese Happy Hour. The Office staff is attentive and they have dedicated parking. That said, some people may not like this. It is a tad rustic and the windows are single pane casements, i.e., they leak. It is "Carmel chic," which some might not like, preferring the hotels instead. To us, however, that is the charm of Carmel. You an step away from the glitz and glam, stay in a very nice place run by nice pe

UPDATE in response to the owner’s reply: 1. I guess because they did not like my negative review, they decided to share my private info of my name (which is not public on Google nor shared with businesses when I leave Google reviews). Of course they knew who it was based on context of this review, but it’s the fact they decided to share it is concerning and shows how they handle negative feedback - sharing customer’s private information on the internet. 2. I am a heavy sleeper, your soundproofing was cheap. 3. For $770+ for two nights, my stay should have been perfect this first time. ******** I stayed here over Thanksgiving holiday in their pet friendly ground level room #14 and I did not enjoy my stay. The walls of the room are paper thin and I could hear every footstep and every to

I'm writing today about a rather unusual experience - a 5-star review without ever staying! The owner of the Vagabond's House Inn proactively called me to alert me about a series of floods and power outages in the area due to severe weather. He offered my husband and I full flexibility for day-by-day cancellation as the situation progressed, despite what I'm sure was a trying time for the business (several cancellations during a busy season). Ultimately, we ended up opting to stay elsewhere for our minimoon (that was less impacted by the weather), but this sort of care, craftsmanship, and decency puts The Vagabond House Inn at the top of our list.

If you are debating about booking here, just do it! Super cute. Very clean. Breakfast delivered to your room in the morning. Wine and cheese reception in the evening. Beautiful courtyard with string lights and fire pit. Walkable to town. We loved it!!

My husband and I stayed in room 1 for three nights from June 1st-4. We loved the location and the room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was great. Having two sink/vanity areas was perfect for us. We enjoyed this room because it was on the main level but there is no room directly above which was nice. Especially since it’s an older property and the floors can be kind of creaky. We didn’t have to listen to anyone walking about overhead. The room itself was clean and very nicely renovated. And, the provided daily breakfast was a real treat. Was delivered promptly each morning at our selected time. Always hot and fresh. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
