It was a comfortable stay but for the price point I expected more. The breakfast was mediocre and the service folks were not friendly. Will not be staying here again.

Better than the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco

Although this property does not have an onsite restaurant/ so no room service… I can honestly say this hotel has nicer accommodations than the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco!!! The bathroom was absolutely fantastic - huge stand alone bathtub, giant shower with a bench, heated floors!!! Separate toilet of course The room had its own Fireplace… beautiful and functional when it was cold and two very comfortable classy leather recliners to relax in after a day of walking around Carmel. I didn’t want to go back to our room at the Ritz it was so good. They also offer to deliver some fruit and croissants and coffee/tea/juice to your room in the morning. Just enough to help get you going. Great comforter/duvet and soft sheets… and the farm doors were so much fun and perfect for the weather. My kids loved to keep the top part open with the bottom closed and play in the courtyard with the beautiful water fountain and around the communal fireplace. Really great spot!! You won’t regret it.

We LOVED staying here and didn’t want to leave!! It was quaint and quiet and the everything was so thoughtfully complete (breakfast, the room layout, check-in process, etc). The rooms were immaculate and newly renovated, the communication from the staff was top notch, and the service was incredible. Vagabond’s House is positioned closely to the “happenings” in Carmel, but far enough away where you weren’t disturbed or bothered. I’m a few words, this place is a little slice of Heaven. We LOVED our stay and cannot wait to come back!!!

The property is quiet and quaint with a charming, somewhat old-fashioned design. The rooms surround a cobblestone courtyard with lots of greenery, an outside fireplace with a table and some very low-seating chairs. Technology was up-to-date with Wifi, big-screen TV, texting communication with staff and charging ports on the lamps. Breakfast was also very nice with fresh fruit and fresh bagels - as well as other options like cereal, eggs, cream cheese, jam, coffee and/or tea. The staff were mostly very helpful and friendly with the exception of one person (the manager/owner I think). What I didn't like was the inconvenient parking down a steep hill away from the property - and the lack of consideration for accessibility. There was no place to unload except on the steep hilly street - no mention of any of this on the website. For someone with disabilities, it was very challenging. The staff did offer to help with unloading, which was nice. But I would think twice about staying there if you are physically challenged. The cobblestone grounds make walking with a cane or walker very difficult.

Super cool place!

One of the best converted motel/apartment inn's I've ever been to. Very well appointed, great service, and super hip without being snotty. Super close to everything you'll want in Carmel, but also feels a little off the beaten path.

I stayed here with my two teenage kids (ages 17 and 19) for 3 nights last week. I choose The Vagabond’s House after doing extensive research on places to stay in Carmel and I can truly say it was the best decision! It is a small quaint “inn” with a bed and breakfast feel. The courtyard and fire pit with garden and trickling fountain was an amazing spot to have coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoons. There is a self-serve barista in the “office” which is a charming room with fireplace and someone is always at the desk for any of your needs. Breakfast is brought to your room every morning at the time you choose. Wine, cheese and crackers start at 4:00 each afternoon. We stayed in Room 3 which is on the first floor right by the fountain which I could see and hear from my bed. No air conditioner, but we were very comfortable with the windows open at night. There was a king size bed with a twin with trundle in a window nook, perfect for the 3 of us. The bathroom was huge with a beautiful soaking tub and separate shower with heated tile floors. And along with all of these amazing things were Randall, Thomas and Ian, who were the ultimate hosts—so welcoming and friendly and someone always available to take care of your every need. I highly recommend and will definitely be back one day!

I received a text upon checking that said: Just checking in on how your stay went. Please reply back with a score of 1-10 (10 being excellent) and any notes we should be aware of. Have a wonderful day! -Guest Services I replied promptly with: 4. Thanks for checking in. It was below expectations for the price point to be honest. The room felt old and tired needing some maintenance or updating. The windows were old single paned windows that leaked cold air and several panes were cracked. The blinds did not keep the sunlight out in the morning even though I had them shut all the way. The mattress felt very old and I could feel springs through it and it sagged into the middle. The breakfast was nice but the tea was forgotten this morning but was brought the first day. Just didn't meet expectations for over $300 per night. Disappointing Never received a reply from anyone. Disappointed that a hotel asks for feedback to improve presumably and doesn’t even bother to even reply. I would avoid.

Our Second Stay in Carmel

I selected the Vagabond's House because it had the highest rating on Hotels.Com. The service was excellent; breakfast very good, and the room was immaculate. Only complaints: A bit noisy with people climbing stairs outside our window; parking was not too convenient, and the queen bed too small for the two of us. Overall, an excellent stay.
