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.

What a gem!

We adored this Carmel property, it was perfect for our family of five. The couch was very comfortable for my 16 year-old. The sweet outdoor patio was lovely to relax in after walking to the beach. The beach is walkable! Literally like two blocks away is one of the most beautiful beaches with cerulean water and pristine sand. Walking to Ocean Avenue was a longer walk, about 25 minutes, but the town itself is so picturesque that we thought nothing of it. The layout of the house was ideal with the bedrooms along the hallway, separated by a door.A few downsides: Bring your own body soap, there wasn’t enough. Get the lockbox code ahead of time because ours was not sent until two hours after we got there. There’s construction nearby, but it’s very minimal noise during the day. The noise was away from the bedrooms, so not really an issue.Overall, a five star property in the best location!

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!
