Very over priced for the cottage. To many notes on the walls of what not to do. This could have been put in a House Rule letter on the table. Outside front and back could use an on property maintenance person. Walkway leading to the door on arrival littered with tree debris. Back patio same.

Stunning location & property!!

We enjoyed the property during our week's stay - the views are incredible!! Enjoyed the adjacent trail along the shoreline. We like to make our own meals, so just wish the kitchen's range was more user-friendly.

A Perfect Stay in California

This was the perfect get away from a Mn arctic blast in January. Sarah was responsive and helpful with every question we had and Mark was gracious in orienting us to the property and cottage upon our arrival. The cottage was small, comfortable and cozy which was perfect for our needs and the view was beautiful. The location was nice with easy access to Point Lobos and other trails. We truly enjoyed our stay at this property and would love to visit again.

Gorgeous Quiet Beachfront Cottage Near all!

We were impressed with the coziness, relaxing atmosphere forever views of the ocean and Monastery Beach and all the amenities that you will need in a small place. Very comfortable, quiet and secure. Close to hiking trails, commercial malls like the Barnyard, gas stations and a short drive to Carmel Point, Scenic Drive, Carmel Beach and Ocean Ave shopping and fabulous restaurants. We will comeback, planning our next stay! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage!

Ocean front cozy paradise

We chose this property for its private location directly on the ocean. We wanted to drink our morning locally roasted coffee and our evening glass of local wine on our private oceanfront property! We wanted to watch the sunrise and sunset on the beach and walk out the back door to a spectacular almost private hiking trail along the coast! This was perfect! Cozy, quiet, clean. Relaxing and awe inspiring! 😍

This enchanting seaside cottage is right out of a fairytale! Spectacular views of Pt Lobos and Monastery Beach mesmerize you as you sip your morning coffee or sunset wine. The cozy wood burning fireplace adds to the charming ambience. Stunning walk to Carmel River State Beach is a great way to start each day. The cottage was well equipped and clean.
