    Very sweet and cozy Inn. The room was very romantic with a fireplace, large bathtub, king size bed, and breakfast delivered in the morning. Great for romantic getaways and very central location next to all the restaurants and shops in Carmel

    Cozy spot in a great location

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Great stay at the Vagabond. Easy walkability to beach and town. Lovely fire pit and waterfall in common area.

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    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.

    Nice

  • Engine customer May 2024

    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.

  • Engine customer Feb 2024

    Starting with the text, saying that we could check in anytime on arrival day, the whole stay was terrific.
