Breathtaking!

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home high in the hills overlooking the ocean and Carmel. The photos in the listing give you just a hint at the stunning scenery that envelops you - it was unbelievable. The home itself was comfortable and well appointed, nicely decorated. I really appreciated the privacy. It had everything I could have wanted for my stay. I loved it so much I started planning my next trip while I was still there. Spectacular!

This is an Annual Golf Trip 22 years

This was our third year in Carmel and it is just the greatest place to stay at for the three visits but it seems next year has already been booked by others so we are disappointed to not return for 2025. But for those who have not experienced ‘The Cottage’ it is great.

Lovely Property

Very pretty, practical, well appointed house. Comfortable and homey. Great kitchen, yard and deck. Four ladies loved it!

Keep this VRBO a secret.

Cleanest one I have ever rented. Appointed with everything you would need, however, walking location is so great we ate out every meal. A grocery store literally across the street. Perfect for travelers who arrived by air. The penthouse itself was spacious for 4-6 people. Gorgeous wrap around deck. Elevator a nice touch for getting bags up to penthouse. I hate giving it 5 stars because I selfishly want it to stay a secret as I intend to rent it often. Thank you for a great visit.

Carmel Cottage Holiday

Lovely cottage, comfortable, clean, great location, in a charming Carmel neighbourhood. Our family of three adults enjoyed long ocean side walks, hiking in several state parks between Carmel and Big Sur, and a seaside walk in Monterey.

Exceeded all expectations in every way. The property, the owners, and especially the view

A dream come true to stay in a cottage on the Pacific watching whales and sea life. The cottage was utterly charming.
