What a gem!

We adored this Carmel property, it was perfect for our family of five. The couch was very comfortable for my 16 year-old. The sweet outdoor patio was lovely to relax in after walking to the beach. The beach is walkable! Literally like two blocks away is one of the most beautiful beaches with cerulean water and pristine sand. Walking to Ocean Avenue was a longer walk, about 25 minutes, but the town itself is so picturesque that we thought nothing of it. The layout of the house was ideal with the bedrooms along the hallway, separated by a door.A few downsides: Bring your own body soap, there wasn’t enough. Get the lockbox code ahead of time because ours was not sent until two hours after we got there. There’s construction nearby, but it’s very minimal noise during the day. The noise was away from the bedrooms, so not really an issue.Overall, a five star property in the best location!

Lovely Carmel Christmas

My family and I had a wonderful Christmas in Carmel at this cozy and spacious home. The home had everything we needed, the kitchen was plush, and the indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit worked perfectly. And of course, the location, a short walk to the most beautiful beach on earth was the best part. I look forward to future stay at this great little place. Thank you!

A Carmel Delight

This is an amazing property just two short blocks from Carmel Point and the Carmel beaches. The outside is fairly unassuming from the street. The interior is just grand. Every room is delightful. It has its own interior courtyard.So comfortable and relaxing. A real find.

Charming cottage in great neighborhood

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed. We enjoyed making meals in the well equipped ktchen and hanging out by the fire in the patio area. We loved walking into town in the mornings to get coffee. My husband and brother took surf lessons during our stay. The meet up point was a few blocks away from the cottage. We would stay here again.
