Lovely Carmel Christmas

My family and I had a wonderful Christmas in Carmel at this cozy and spacious home. The home had everything we needed, the kitchen was plush, and the indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit worked perfectly. And of course, the location, a short walk to the most beautiful beach on earth was the best part. I look forward to future stay at this great little place. Thank you!

Fabulous Carmel cottage

We had an amazing 2 weeks stay at this beautiful cottage 2 blocks from Carmel Beach. Perfect location just blocks from downtown Carmel shopping and dining. Very quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors and perfect weather especially for us coming from Arizona. If you plan a trip to the Monterey Peninsula you must stay at this cottage!!

Great location, very comfortable

Our family had a great time. Walk to the beach is short (5 min) and the backyard outdoor space was enjoyable as well. Drive to downtown also 5 min. Really nice location and the house was super clean.
