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.

Wonderful 8 nights at the Cottage. Relaxing and comfortable home environment. Patio sunny in the morning and moon and stars at night. Walk a few blocks to access 2 different Carmel beaches. Nice to walk the neighborhood and appreciate the unique, beautiful architecture of each home. Karen was very easy to communicate with.

A remarkable stay. The cottage by the sea was everything as listed…. And more. It was wonderful to be away from the crowds and enjoy the beauty of Carmel. Morning walks were perfect with great views of the ocean and the lovely properties near by. We certainly will visit again.

Wonderful!

Wonderful stay at Sea Cottage! Comfortable, convenient, and close walking distance to two beaches and the center of town. Karen was immediately responsive to 2 questions we had before our stay. There were no issues or concerns during our 8 night stay. Nice fenced yard for our dog. We could not have asked for a more wonderful place to stay to enjoy Carmel. Thank you Karen!

Magical Carmel

Great location, easy access to the downtown and Carmel Valley. Residence was nicely furnished and well equipped. Only negative for us was the tv was difficult to use (big remote didn’t work and limited instructions) and the bath towels should be upgraded.
