Tucked behind a private garden gate, this charming hideaway blends old-world craftsmanship with fresh, coastal elegance. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee with hummingbirds or strolling to white-sand beaches and charming cafes, this is the kind of place where you arrive and instantly exhale. WHAT TRAVELERS LOVE ABOUT OUR COTTAGE Guests often tell us this cottage feels “like a dream you don’t want to wake from.” They rave about: • The Best Sleep of Their Lives: Luxurious bed, Belgian linen duvet, and the gentle hush of ocean air create pure serenity • Sunlit Mornings in the Garden: A peaceful retreat surrounded by whispering pines, trickling fountains, and the soft buzz of hummingbirds • Sanctuary Gardens: Wander through flower-lined paths, listen to the fountain, or meditate among the cypress trees • Unbeatable Location: Walk to everything — just a short stroll to downtown Carmel’s cafes, galleries, wine rooms, and boutique shops — and a short stroll down to the beach • A Magical Host: Travelers often mention our attention to detail and warm hospitality — “It’s like staying with a friend who’s thought of everything.” • Impeccable Cleanliness: Every corner gleams, maintained by one of the top-rated cleaning teams in Carmel. ALL THE DETAILS • Calm, Beautiful Interior Design - Step inside and feel an immediate sense of calm. The studio glows with natural light reflecting off whitewashed walls and original pine plank floors. Vintage wavy-glass windows and thumb latch hardware nod to the home’s 1920s heritage, while curated coastal décor and plush textures add an elevated, modern feel. Every space feels intentional, soothing, and quietly luxurious. • Enchanting Gardens & Outdoor Spaces - Your private gardens are alive with color, fragrance, and birdsong. Relax with morning tea, unwind by the fountain, or share wine beneath the twinkling night sky in the garden. Guests say it feels like “a secret garden tucked within Carmel itself.” • Fully Equipped Kitchen - The bright, well-stocked kitchen includes everything you need — from sharp knives and artisan tableware to high-end cookware and three kinds of coffee makers. Whether you’re preparing a cozy breakfast or an elegant dinner, it’s designed to make cooking a joy. • Sumptuous Bedding & Comforts - The sleeping area features a hotel-quality mattress, high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, and a Belgian linen duvet from Restoration Hardware. Fluffy down and hypoallergenic pillows ensure personalized comfort, so every night feels like a spa retreat. • Impeccable Cleanliness - Our professional cleaning team — among the best in Carmel — uses premium, eco-friendly products to ensure the cottage is spotless and fresh. From crisp linens to polished floors, we prepare the home to five-star standards for every guest. • Authenticity & History - Originally built in the 1920s, this is one of Carmel’s beloved storybook cottages — restored with respect for its history and comfort for today’s traveler. You’ll find original pine plank floors, wavy-pane windows, and charming thumb latch hardware paired with modern amenities including high-speed business class Wi-Fi, smart TV, streaming music, entertainment, and personal development programming. • Our Commitment to the Environment - We believe that caring for this magical place means caring for the planet. We use refillable bulk cleaning supplies, LED lighting, and smart thermostats to reduce waste and energy use. Our guests’ stays have helped plant over 1,000 trees worldwide, and we sponsor the replanting of native Monterey Cypress trees right here in Carmel. SOME FEEDBACK FROM PAST GUESTS \*\* About The Cottage \*\* “Fabulous! I have stayed in many different rental homes from Boston, Nashville, Hilton Head, Colorado, etc. This by far was the most perfect. The owner/host, Barry, goes beyond your wildest expectations. He must love what he does because everything is thought out on every detail. Don’t pass this place up. I can’t wait to return.” “A little slice of heaven. What a gem! Charming, beautifully decorated, every amenity you could ask for. We just loved it!” “This cottage is magical!!” “Don’t walk but run to book this! The bed was so comfortable. We absolutely loved this place and will be back again!” \*\* About The Host \*\* “Dearest Barry, thank you for touching our hearts and for sharing this magical place with us. Our hearts remain full from the love and grace of your beautiful soul touching ours.” "We have traveled quite extensively and I can say we have never received more gracious and thoughtful hospitality. Barry provides a 5 Star Concierge Level service equal to any luxury hotel or premium resort." “Our time in your cottage was so memorable. We will always relish our stay at your cottage as if something greater than all of us has suspended it in time. I can still ‘feel’ opening the gate and stepping down the stone entryway into nothing short of enchantment. I relive it often in grace and harmony remembering the creative journey you continuously and so beautifully have given to those of us who need a deep breath of peace. Thank you for who you are, all you’ve done and how you continue to contribute everyday of your life to others. You’re an angel on earth driven with universal guidance in more ways than just one.

Clear and timely communication are just two of his hallmarks. His Carmel Cottage is pristine and so welcoming. It’s also perfectly situated in Carmel to be just off the beaten path yet walkable to everything. Additionally, there are several thoughtful approaches by Barry to make for an ideal stay. When I booked months ago, he reached out to learn more about the purpose of our trip, the types of restaurants we like and other seemingly small details that all manifest in ways large and small in welcoming us to the cottage. This is a host who genuinely strives to make your visit perfect. We can’t wait to plan our return visit to Carmel. We will absolutely look to stay at Barry’s property again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18b87697-443e-4aba-bd79-31804a62a1f2-1763775978810.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb0045e4-3668-4568-8e24-3b174f4ed870-1763775977632.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e45116f-0728-4da1-bb94-1e48a55a50d8-1763775976321.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rod H.

He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome - wine & cheese board upon our arrival, homemade cookies with ice cream, and a couple of unobtrusive check ins during our stay to make sure everything was running smoothly.Barefoot Comfort is equally outstanding. It is impeccably designed and furnished, with top of the line linens, bath towels, and furnishings. On site laundry was a plus. The location is fabulous!

Cozy, quaint, clean, magical. This cottage was the perfect place for two and came with all the amenities! My husband and I spent a week here for our 10th anniversary. Conveniently located to surrounding towns and trails, we were able to revisit so many places from my childhood, an easy drive to everything! Don’t feel like driving? We were in walking distance to cute shops, restaurants and the beach!! Barry is a wonderful host, easily accessible for questions. Aside from the amazing serene garden landscape with calming water fountains, we were welcomed with a delicious board of crackers, cheese, jam and wine waiting for us! What a nice treat after traveling across country. Barry makes sure to give the finest touches. We will definitely be staying here again if we visit, and will recommend to anyone visiting the area! ##### Christopher P.

Séjour de 8 nuits en juin 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Henry P. 2 juin 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Perfect Little Spot Barry the host was awesome. Had a little charcuterie board and wine waiting in the cottage when we arrived and some tips on things in and around Carmel. Easy to get a hold of him. Great little one room, one bath spot with a kitchen and a laundry room below. Just about 2 blocks to walk into the retail section of Carmel and its cool little shops and restaurants. We went whale watching, beach combing, bike riding, kayaking, hiking in Big Sur, hiking in Pinnacles, did a spa afternoon, and plenty more all within an hour and a half or less of a drive, most being within about 20 minutes. Would definitely recommend going, it was great! ##### Henry P.

My wife and I came stayed in this VRBO for our planned elopement in the Big Sur. When we booked the stay, Barry called us to introduce himself, to learn about us, and the reason for our stay. Barry did a great job communicating with us about the place and even made an adjustment on the length of our stay seamless. Barry knew we were coming for our wedding and wrote us a handwritten card and gave us a cheese and cracker plate with a bottle of wine. It was very thoughtful! He had a few other really nice things he did but I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone staying here. Just know that Barry really cares about the people that stay at the cottage.

The only aspect better than our charming cottage, amazingly comfortable bed and linens, perfect location (easy walk to everything in town and to gorgeous beach), sensational location to route 1 drive and Big Sur, as well as to Monterey for aquarium, 17 mile drive, etc., was the absolutely supreme host, Barry, with whom we felt an instant kinship. He knows all of the best hideaways as well as the "musts" for first-time visitors, and i know it will get even better as we continue to visit bc once isn't even close to enough! We have already signed up to stay again next year. We are two western New York special education teachers who really are not annually able to take such a vacation, but Barry's place is reasonable for what you get in return and very worth the sacrifice and savings in the interim. We couldn't be more impressed! And more eager to return!! ##### Sarah B.

Séjour de 7 nuits en février 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Voyageur vérifié 21 janv. 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Fantastic stay in Carmel We stayed for a week in Barry’s Starfish cottage. It was cozy, very clean and comfortable. What a treat to find a charcuterie tray, chocolates and a bottle of wine! Loved the location. It was so convenient to walk to restaurants and all of the shops in Carmel. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Barry for taking care of us! ##### Voyageur vérifié Séjour de 7 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Annalisa G., Abilene Texas USA 13 janv. 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Impressive Great place in a great location. Walkable to downtown area, shops, restaurants. Nice walk to beach. Host is easy to reach and goes the extra mile to make you feel at home and provides little extras which are a nice touch. Well stocked and immaculately clean. Hope to stay again. ##### Annalisa G. Séjour de 7 nuits en janvier 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Pat A., Orlando 16 nov. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Cute, comfy and well-located We spent 8 lovely nights in Barry's Guest House on an extended vacation. He was SUCH a wonderful host! Proactive in sharing information and very responsive when we had any questions. We had been to Las Vegas and Disneyland prior to arrival in Carmel. What a pleasant change! The cottage had everything we could possibly need. From the beyond comfortable bedding to the luxurious shower, everything was awesome. Several times later in the trip, we lamented how much we missed the always ready hot water and great water pressure in the cottage shower. We watched TV comfortably most night. Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV were all available with our subscriptions. And it was so nice having access to convenient laundry facilities downstairs from the cottage. Thanks, Barry! ##### Pat A. Séjour de 8 nuits en novembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Tammy M., Michigan 27 oct. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Romantic Escape to Carmel We were on our 40th Anniversary trip and stayed at this dreamy little place. It is so quaint. Very clean and comfortable. Small but doesn’t feel small because every detail is perfect. From the start, our host, staged a romantic atmosphere. The lights turned down low and music on the tv as we entered along with a nice note and treat on the table welcoming us. It was a lovely surprise and set the tone for our trip. Barry is an excellent host. He was a wealth of knowledge of things to do and see, not just tourist spots but unique places. He had little surprises throughout our stay that were so thoughtful but not intrusive. You will love this place!! We will definitely return. ##### Tammy M. Séjour de 7 nuits en octobre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Peggy F., Chandler, AZ 5 sept. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway We stayed for a week in this little studio/cottage just steps from the hustle and bustle of downtown Carmel, with a location so quiet and secluded it felt like everyone was miles away. We have stayed in many rentals and Barry's communication was by far the best of any of the hosts we have worked with. The info provided prior to arrival was perfect, and his response time to any questions we had was superb. He is clearly committed to every guest having a wonderful experience. The cottage is exactly as pictured/described. The bed was very comfy and the linens were wonderful. The provided toiletries were a pleasant surprise - liquid soap for the bathroom sink plus shower gel and shampoo in the shower - and unlike most hotels they did not have a strong scent, which we really appreciated. The location is perfect for walking to restaurants & shops. If you are not familiar with Carmel you should be aware that the beach is a fairly steep walk uphill to return to the cottage. But there is public parking and street parking if the walk is too much for you. If we find ourselves back in Carmel in the future I would only rent from Barry. ##### Peggy F. Séjour de 7 nuits en août 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Mary P. 29 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Darling cottage Loved every minute!!!! Cheese platter and wine was a treat!!! Bed was so comfortable and location could not be better!!! Thank you Barry for all you did to make it an absolutely lovely visit!!! ##### Mary P. Séjour de 7 nuits en août 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Scott M. 12 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Enchanting Honeymoon The only reason NOT to stay here is if it’s already booked. We utilize VRBO for all of our travels and have had a lot of good hosts along the way. Barry is by far above them all. Communication began at booking. He was flexible with our dates, he kept in touch periodically up to our stay, and checked in a few times while we were there to see if we needed anything, He thought of every detail. The cottage was very clean, perfectly located, and stocked with everything you might need. The cottage is located within easy walking distance of everything in the Plaza, Carmel Beach, the scenic houses along the beach; Point Lobos is only a couple miles away, Mission Ranch a five minute drive, Big Sur a gorgeous 30 mile drive south along the coast of Hwy 1, and Monterey about 15 minutes north. Carmel is a beautiful fairytale place that speaks for itself but Barry and the cottage make you feel like a local with a home away from home. ##### Scott M.

Séjour de 11 nuits en avril 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jennifer W. 9 avr. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### A Delightful Stay My husband and I stayed in this cottage and it was serene and comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. The host, Barry, had prepared everything immaculately and was always available if we had any questions or needed anything. The location is perfect, walking distance to plenty of restaurants, shops, and the beach. All the amenities are as described, and then some. We would absolutely stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone. ##### Jennifer W.
