About this property

Sunny Side of the Street

I just wanted to reach out and share the extra precautions that will be implemented due to the Corona Virus. Be assured that ALL bedding, blankets, comforters, duvet covers, sheets, mattress covers, pillow covers and towels will be washed in hot water. This will be done the morning of check in. The entire home will be diligently cleaned and sanitized before your arrival.

We are fortunate to live in an area where natural beauty is abundant! In this time of social distancing we have so many opportunities to get outside. Go for a walk along the beach, a hike in Big Sur or a stroll through Carmel Valley. The possibilities are endless in one of the most beautiful places in the world!

As a member of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, you have to access to 2 guest passes that you and your family may take advantage of!

Please know that every effort is being made to ensure you have a safe and healthy experience!

Blessings,
Jamie

This sunny, family-friendly home is located a few blocks from the Carmel Mission and minutes from downtown Carmel. The house itself features three queen bedrooms and two full sized bathrooms. French doors open on either side of the large living room to both the front garden patio and the spacious back deck. The location provides easy access to the greater Peninsula where you can enjoy exploring beaches, hiking, John Steinbeck’s historical Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and nature paths along the stunning shoreline. I am a member of the Monterey bay aquarium and I have 2 guest passes available for your friends and family.



The residence is within walking distance of the Carmel Crossroads Shopping Center, and crawling distance from the finish line of the Big Sur International Marathon. Heading south on Highway One you are only two miles from whale watching at Point Lobos State Park, and 26 miles from breathtaking Big Sur. We are fortunate to host a variety of events in the area, such as the AT&T Pro-Am Golf Tournament, Concours D’ Elegance, Monterey Jazz Festival, Big Sur International Marathon, Bach Festival, Reggae Festival, races at Laguna Seca, and an annual Food and Wine event.


Amenities include a kitchen that is stocked for indoor and outdoor cooking, washer and dryer, hair dryer, flat screens in every room with cable, laptop workspace and wifi, off street parking, and an extra queen aerobed. In addition, you will find everything you need to vacation with a toddler, including a high chair, Pack ‘n’ Play, booster seat, stroller, and plenty of toys. A large play structure and sandbox in the back yard are guaranteed to keep your children entertained for hours. When you are ready to hit the beach, everything you need for a fun-filled day is supplied: toys, table and chairs, cooler, umbrella, towels, and an all-terrain wagon.

Wonderful stay in Carmel

We were in Carmel for a wedding in Big Sur. The location of this property was perfect for us. Quiet neighborhood but close to shopping areas- grocery, bakery, coffee shop-- and to the highway to Monterey and Big Sur. Also close to downtown. We actually walked to downtown Carmel one morning via the parkway Jamie told us about. The property was just as described- maybe even better. The grounds were beautiful with the flowers! Jamie was an attentive, generous host.

Carmel Stay

The property was amazing. Jamie was a little intrusive and we felt that she was checking on us while staying at her house. We were a little put off by that situation. I noticed her drive by a couple of times while we were there.

Perfect for families with kids

We stayed with 4 adults, a toddler, and 2 infants. The space was perfect for our needs. Great outdoor deck space and a backyard paradise for young children. The home feels lived in in a wonderful way but was very tidy and comfortable and had everything we needed, including lots of toys for children and a fully stocked kitchen. The location provided easy access to Carmel, Pacific Grove, Monterrey, and all the surrounding natural areas. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again on a repeat visit to the area.

This is one of the best property’s that we have stayed in. Location is amazing very quite road

Everything is great at this property. The owner was great on getting us what we needed. There is a great fish market only a block away as well as many other stores and shops. Property looked very kid friendly. Kitchen is amazing if you want to eat in. All the furniture is very comfortable. Bathrooms are great Will be recommending this to all of our friends. It was unfortunate that there was a couple of big storms during our trip so we didn’t get to use the outside spaces like we would have liked.
