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.

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.

This place is all about location. You are walking distance to not one but 2 beaches just minutes away! The golden rectangle is about a 20 minute walk. You can choose to walk the streets of Carmel and see all the interesting houses, or take the path that runs alongside the beach. The house was well kept and the kitchen well equipped. TV reception was a bit spotty and there is no DVD player as listed. The two bed/two bathroom setup is great. Washer and dryer are also a big plus when staying at the beach. There is a cozy fireplace as well, which is nice on a fall evening. All in all a great stay.

The cottage was great. Very close to Carmel Beach Pt and Carmel Beach. Both walking distance. The court yard was wonderful. Sat out there almost everyday. Had a lovely dinner outside one warm clear evening. Beds were very comfortable. Drove to town which is very close. Hope to come again

There are two roomy and comfortable ensuites, a full kitchen, and a lovely patio with a fire pit, a barbecue, and a table for outdoor dining.This is a wonderful home in a spectacular Carmel neighborhood.

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.
