About this property

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.

We were pleased to enter a spotless home and find it fully equipped with all we needed for our week-long stay. We felt right at home and settled right in. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The outdoor spaces made our stay even nicer, as we spent time with coffee in the morning and cool drinks in the comfy outdoor furniture in the afternoon. The location was ideal for walking to the beach and enjoying the charm of downtown. When we needed help, our host was quick to respond to my text. All in all, this was a 15 out of 10 property!
