About this property
Gateway to Big Sur, 10 min to Carmel restaurants. Pebble Beach 8 miles away
We are a longtime Super Host and Guest Favorite on the other, bigger vacation rental site. Search online for carmeldolphinhouse for more reviews. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake up to watch for dolphins, sea otters, whales, and sea birds. Take a path next door to a secluded beach or a scenic 10-minute drive to Carmel restaurants or Big Sur hiking. Just 8 miles away are Pebble Beach and Monterey. Our home is fully appointed with natural wood, stone and glass, plus designer furniture and a kitchen equipped by professional chefs in our family. All sheets are 800 or 600-thread count 100% sustainable cotton. *Why do we have a variable pricing policy? This allows a couple or small group to pay per person rather than full capacity of 8. Many of our guests are just one couple so we have tailored our pricing for parties of two. The base listed rate is for two guests, there’s a fee for each additional guest. *Sorry, no visitors*
