Top Gibson Beach Hotel Reviews

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The outdoor areas in the common areas are very nice, as are most of the rooms with balconies - with spacious outdoor areas. Not all rooms have outdoor areas. Dislike: parking can be rough. Small spaces close together, so sometimes you end up parking in the front of the restaurant or other far off areas to find a space, and go top it off, they charge $30 a day for parking."

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful cabins with full bathrooms right near Carmel Beach (driving distance). Fire pits were a wonderful way to spend time with an extended group at night. The grocery store across the street was also convenient."

10/10 Excellent

"I have never had such a wonderful stay at a VRBO property! Daniel has thought of EVERYTHING! I am trying to figure out how I can get back to this property very soon! The quality of the towels, sheets and pillows was excellent. I value things like that. The house is so well appointed and charming. I got ideas for my own home! . The house is perfectly situated in that it is very close to the beach but far enough away from the busy number of people along the main drag of Carmel by The Sea. I will be back!!!"

We loved seeing deer, quail, rabbits, a bobcat, and even humpback whales from the patio.The location is secluded yet just a few minutes from Carmel and local shopping.
