Steps To Carmel Beach, in the golden rectangle. The perfect location!

Tucked away in a quiet/private neighborhood in the "Golden Rectangle" on Carmel Point, Just 800 ft to Carmel Beach is our Sea Cottage. A short walk to Carmel State Beach & wildlife reserve (1block+). A short walk to the East is the Mission Ranch, owned by former Mayor/Actor Clint Eastwood. See sheep in the meadow, lagoon or enjoy a fine meal at sunset. Point Lobos is an experience that shouldn't be missed!
The cottage is completely updated. Casual elegance unparalleled.

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!

I Love this House

My husband, myself, our 2 year old and our dog had the best long weekend here. The location is perfect, we walked just about everywhere. Although we never cooked the kitchen was well appointed. The pictures do not do this place justice, it was much nicer than what I had expected. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful

The cottage was wonderful in every way. We especially enjoyed the patio: meditation and reading in the warm morning sunlight and sitting out and talking in the late afternoon upon our return from one of the 3 nearby beaches or Point Lobos. Karen is great to communicate with and planning with her is simple and easy.

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!

Great family vacation home in a wonderful location.

The home was perfect for a family of four and our dog. Everyone enjoyed the stay as the size and amenities worked out very well to allow each of us just enough space. The location allowed us to walk to both beaches daily with and without the dog. We also had multiple family strolls to town for dinner or just to look around. Whenever we walked the dog, we were met with many friendly neighbors doing the same. Karen kindly accommodated the charge of our Phev vehicle which we used to visit the surrounding cities for coffee or sightseeing. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants to enjoy a wonderful vacation in Carmel.
