| We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house. We were four adults and a four and two year old. Everybody had plenty of space to move around and not be on top of each other. The beautifully landscaped patio out the front door was enjoyed everyday by all. Not so close to town that we would walk in with our group but only a two minute drive and super close to all the fun stuff in Monterey as well. Definitey will return. |

| We have stayed in many inns in Carmel over the years, but this was the perfect place to share Carmel with our son and his family. It was all that we had hoped for and we all had a wonderful time! |

| The house was perfect. The upgrades made the place even better than it was before. The house is about a 15 minute walk to Ocean Avenue and about 20 minutes to the ocean. Very quiet in the evenings. |

| Our group of 6 had a wonderful time at Lilli's house. The home is very comfortable with 2 lovely patios that we took full advantage of! We walked to town and the beach and also just enjoyed staying home and relaxing. We couldn't have asked for more. We plan on returning next year. |

| It was our second experience there at Lilly's House for our annual family vacation in October. The spacious house with two separate court yards gave each of us our own area to do what we want. It was a very peaceful and relaxing setting making it a memorable vacation. |

A very beautiful home in a wonderful location. Great for kids. Well maintained. The space and set-up of the home makes you want to spend time there as well as in the community that surrounds it. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

We spent a couple days at Lilli's and had a great family vacation there.
It is spacious and comfortable and has great equipment.
My brothers (and my dad) really enjoyed the table soccer ;-)
It's also a nice walk to the beach and to the restaurants and shops plus a really quiet neighborhood!
I can really recommend it!!! |

We had a wonderful week with our two daughters at Lilli's
house. This house is extremely comfortable, spacious, and perfect
for enjoying Carmel - the fireplace, patios, and gardens all add to the
experience. This is a well loved home and it shows. Debbie and Robin
are great hosts, and have covered all the details. Highly recommended!

The time went by to quickly. Certainly more to do in the week than we could possibly do.
Minor conditions that needed attention were quickly taken care of.
Owners were very easy to get ahold of and deal with.
All in all we would recomend this property to anyone. |

| We really loved staying here. The open plan gave a nice sense of space and plenty of room for quiet reading or enjoying the table football. Everything that could be provided was provided making it a home from home. The location was very convenient too, just a few blocks from downtown Carmel and easy access to Hwy 1. We'll look forward to staying there again. |

| We had such a good stay at your lovely home. The openness made it easier to keep an eye on lively 2 year old twins, as well as gave us a chance to be together as a family. We enjoyed the children's park and the close proximity of so many features. We'd like to return next year and will make a reservation as soon as we get the date for next year's jazz festival. Thank you so much for the ease in arranging this. |

The house is every bit as lovely as it is described - beautifully appointed, well laid-out, and charming! The owners are a pleasure to deal with - very organized and welcoming.

Thank you Robin and Debbie for making our stay at your house so enjoyable. There was nothing left to be desired--it was all there in abundance to use. We received many compliments from our family visiting us there and enjoyed the gorgeous courtyard with all the flowers and greenery. It was a very memorable occasion to stay there to celebrate a family birthday and see the beautiful "Carmel-By-The Sea."

Hi Robin and Debbie,
I apologize for not thanking you earlier. We had a lovely visit. The house was perfect for a toddler (a couple of rubber bands on some cabinets and it was child proof!). We loved Carmel and our son loved the aquarium. There was talk of making it an annual adventure.
Thank you for making your home such a comfortable retreat.
Best regards, Doug
PS The only suggestion that we had was that a dish rack for hand washed dishes would be useful.

| We came out to run the Big Sur Marathon for the 4th year. Instead of staying in a B and B we rented this lovely home. It was wonderful! It was beautifully decorated, comfortable and close to all the action in Carmel. We plan on returning annually for the marathon and would love to stay in your home again. |

| We loved this home! It is about a 10 minute walk from town (15 mins to the beach), a perfect distance for a nice stroll through a lovely neighborhood. The home has been recently restored -- the furnishings and decor are very tasteful and comfortable. All the amenities (such as linens, dishes, cooware, appliances) are excellent quality. Every room has windows looking out onto an interior courtyard with lovely landscaping -- perfect for outdoor dining when the weather is nice, or a way to enjoy the outdoors with shelter when it is raining. The owners are wonderful -- we had trouble with the television remote (turns out it was our error), but they immediately fedex'd a new remote even though we told them not to worry about it. We look forward to future opportunities to return to this special retreat. |

The 11th annual gathering for "Babes Weekend" (don't ask, it's a long story) brought us from near and far to Lilli's house. The only reason we will not return is our striving for new territory to explore. We voted this lovely home the best place we have stayed in our eleven years. All the comforts and then some. Peaceful, civilized, beautiful courtyard, room to spread out or hang together. The photos cannot convey how it feels to be there. This is a happy house.

We had an absolutely fabulous time in Carmel (2/18-2/26). We thoroughly enjoyed the house! It was perfect. We had great weather and a memorable time. We have recommended the house to a couple of families already. We travel to the MB area annually to biannually to visit family and we would definitely stay again

We can't tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in Carmel. The house was so perfect. Our 15 month old daughter loved playing out in the courtyard and we loved that we could see her from just about any room in the house. The house was beautiful and worked out great for our family. We are definitely interested in renting again for next year. I will be in touch

We enjoyed our stay at Lilli's house for
Thanksgiving 2005. With several little ones we
particularly appreciated the enclosed patio where
they could play outdoors and still be corraled. We
also loved the separate tv room and living room.
Everything was comfortable and clean.

| Four college girlfriends and I had a wonderful time reconnecting with one another and exploring Carmel during our stay in this charming and comfortable home. The layout is spacious and open but, also allows for small groupings if a variety of activities are required. The large, beautifully-landscaped courtyard is peaceful and rejuvenating. The owners were very helpful and very easy to work with. Highly recommended! |

| Wonderful home. Spacious without being unwieldy. Smartly updated. Airy and comfortable. Useful indoor/outdoor design (we loved the wall that slid open into the central courtyard). Minutes to everything but just enough removed from the congested centers of the beach and town. We had an excellent time. |

Our ladies weekend was a great success. Your home was perfect. You have done a great job updating a lovely home and it was a joy for everyone to come home to after a busy day at the spa or shopping and sightseeing! Oldest daughter Ann lives in Breckenridge and knits - she says it is very relaxing for her. So first day everyone ended up at the Knitting by the Sea shop and every evening after dinner was spent learning to cast on and make a scarf - a great time of laughter talk and fun. The weather was perfect - it flooded in Fresno but most of the rain passed over Carmel! We thank you again for making your home available.

The house was incredibly comfortable. We used it as a spring board for Carmel Valley and Big Sur. We saw blue whales by Pt. Sur Lighthouse and went swimming in the river at Big Sur. Post Ranch for lunch was great. Took the kids horseback riding in Carmel Valley. The weber smoker was great and did some awesome steaks on it. A neighbor, Mary Moore, was very kind to the children. Drove to Hearst Castle. If you go take 2 different tours. "A cowboys work is never done!" The Serefini Family and Scott and Kelly Coleman.
