CASA FINA is a lovely one level cottage conveniently located on the central edge of Carmel-by-the-Sea. It is in a pleasantly sunny and quiet location. CASA FINA is within walking distance (3/4 of a mile) to Ocean Avenue and the chic shops, art galleries and award winning restaurants. This charming cottage has been lovingly decorated with warm colors and tastefully selected furniture and antiques. The cottage is completely furnished - from down comforters to hairdryers to blenders. The walls in all rooms are adorned with etchings, watercolors, and photographs of old Europe.

The living room is flooded with light from 3 large windows and offers a wood burning fireplace. With the neutral fabrics and colorful pillows the room exemplifies the eclectic decor.

The separate and intimate dining room seats 6 people and is lighted by a large window overlooking the garden of hydrangeas, roses and a prolific orange tree! For the evening lighting there is an antique French chandelier over the dining table.

The master bedroom has a king-size bed and its own tumbled marble tile bathroom with a shower. Beautiful bougainvillea blossoms cross over two of the windows! Built-in closet and drawers house your vacation wear.

The second bedroom has two twin-size beds and two wall reading lights, a closet of its own, and a shelf full of good reading material.

The sunroom has a day bed with two twin size mattresses. All rooms are individually decorated with many framed pictures.

The hall bathroom offers a tub and a separate shower. It too has its share of photographs, this time with scenes of the beach!

The kitchen is fully equipped and has a self-cleaning gas stove and oven. Place settings for 12+ and glass ware and china.

There are two decks that are all about relaxing. Dinner or lunch al fresco is a certain enjoyment on either deck. The decks are surrounded by pampas grass and bougainvillea and furnished with wrought iron chairs and tables, a chaise lounge and a gas grill.

We are certain you will enjoy this charmingly decorated cottage as many people have before you. We look forward to your visit at CASA FINA in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

  • I've just recently returned from a glorious 7 days in Carmel-by-the-Sea with my Mom, sister and Mom's cousin. The moment we entered "La Casa Fina" we were immediately embraced by it's warmth and charm. This "home" truly exceeded our expectations from the beautifully furnished and decorated rooms to the radiant heat floor in the master bath to the lush plantings surrounding the home. After a full day of sight-seeing "La Casa Fina" was a very welcome respite. I hope to some day return to this magical place! Thank you again, Carolyn.

  • My husband, cousin and her husband all stayed at the Casa Fina. We had two highlights of our trip: one was the family wedding we attended, and the other one was enjoying our "down-time" at the Casa Fina. We all loved it and it truly felt like home.

  • Casa Fina is home. My husband, our three children and my father came to this gorgeous jewel box in the middle of October '07. From the moment I entered this house it wrapped it's arms around me like a dear beloved friend. Carolyn has gone to great lengths to appoint her home with all things lovely and comforting. From her impeccable photographs, to the sumptuous linens, no detail is overlooked. We kept feeling as if we were staying in someones cherished home, and that's because we were. Casa Fina is a artfully intoxicating cottage full of creature comforts and unexpected delights. Anyone lucky enough to have a night or two (or seven!) at this charming address will certainly crave more. Thank you Carolyn, you are a wonderful soul to share this home with others. Casa Fina paradiso in terra!

  • we stayed at la casa fina christmas week of '07 with 5 adults and two children and had a lovely time. the accommodations were comfortable and beautifully decorated. we had plenty of space and spent our evenings cooking meals in the fully stocked kitchen, and playing board games late into the night. the grounds surrounding the house are gorgeous. the back patio gets a lot of sun and feels secluded, and the orange tree in front of the house was full of ripe fruit the week we were there- - i indulged in at least two oranges a day! i walked into town several times and found it a very easy distance. i highly recommend this vacation rental.

  • La Casa Fina is the perfect vacation retreat. Beautifully laid out and decorated with warm, rich colors, it blends sophistication with warmth and comfort in the true Carmel tradition. This home was so much more than we expected--we were just in awe. I have been vacationing in Carmel for all of my 50 years--it's my favorite place. So beautiful. So much to do and see. This time, however, the highlight was curling up in this home and pretending it was mine!

  • I had the opportunity to stay at La Casa Fina for a week in early October and had a fabulous time. The location of the home is ideal. We walked to town and the beach each morning and enjoyed the local restaurants each night. It's a beautiful home. We will definately be back.

  • We have been happy "guests" for eight years, staying in what now feels like our "home away from home" while attending the Carmel Bach Festival. Starting with one week, we are now staying two weeks during the Festival. Casa Fina is charming, elegant but comfortable, offering all the amenities one could want. And the location is great...just far enough from town that it's out of the hustle-bustle. You can't go wrong!
